Porsche 991 Turbo S - tighter than I expected, as civilized as I expected...
and faster than a bat out of hell up to low triple digits. The low down torque and horsepower are mindbending...
What I was most surprised about, though, was how impressed I was with the Bentley GT3-R in terms of low end acceleration - it felt almost as fast, but it's much much heavier!

Sounds like it's a winner...
Sounds like the new 991 Turbo S is a winner, at least statistically. But is it as emotional as you expected? Generally, I'm finding the newer Porsches, especially the latest 991 to be very comfortable and civilized. Almost a little too civilized. Like rea...
New cars are mysterious in the ways they influence us
For example, I drove a Tesla P85D last week, kicked it hard a few times, and came away unmoved. I found the car incredibly fast, but it didn't seem interesting to me at all. Is it possible to have an un-involving vehicle that generates great specs but not...
Excellent points!
I haven't driven the Tesla Model S P85D. I'm very wary about AWD cars because they often lack steering feel. Yes, exactly, the Jaguar F-Type is amazing in the way that it makes you feel with their sound, until you take your first cloverleaf on-ramp turn w...
Agree the "specs" are just one part of the story and...
if it came down to a face off and personal choice for a "driver's car" I'm not sure which I would pick but I suspect it might not be the obvious one by numbers... But I don't have enough "seat time" yet in the TurboS to make any meaningful comments as I d...

King of the road as they say...more pictures please. I test drove
a 2012 911 Turbo before and it was so loud with engine sound and road noise that the sales and myself had to shout to talk :)) Definitely I want a car that is fun, fast to drive but with some comfort. These newer 911s definitely nailed it. Rgds Raymond
The drivetrain "music" was actually pretty muted inside the cabin on this one...
and one really didn''t hear the exhaust so much as the intake (and intercooler, according to the owner) On the other hand, I drove behind the car on the freeway as the driver tipped in the throttle (he later told me no more than half throttle) and it soun...
Something special about a Porsche.
I bought my wife a 991 Targa 4S and was thinking if she did not like it, all would be good in my little world but she loves it. I know it is not a turbo but I am impressed, the car does everything quite well, I would be quite happy having one as a daily d...
