Autobahn cruising speeds do not get boring in a hurry. But it does get white-knuckle interesting when you hit recently re-surfaced patches. The Porsche’s supple but sporty ride quality suddenly becomes borderline thrashy.
But my hands relax as I notice that the bumps have entirely failed to affect the direction in which the super grippy convertible car is flying.
This is amazing. And it is so simple, that a six-year old would manage this given enough space. And a set of keys. I am in love with Porsches all over again.
Adrenaline expended, I roll back into the middle lane, slow down to a more comprehensible, a more relaxed lope. With shaking hands, I set the cruise control and take some deep breaths. That was an amazing sensation.
Most of the work was done by the engine. Identical to the one in the 911 Turbo coupe, this motor uses two variable geometry turbos to force air into the rampaging 3600cc flat-six that resides in the boot of the Cabrio.
Just so you know, the variable geometry turbo is able to turn the vanes of its impeller, so that the effect of the turbocharging can be felt from lower engine speeds.
