Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Tiptronic

Advantages: Fast, reliable and practical
Disadvantages: rear seats for very young ones only but better than nothing

I used to have a Carrera 4 Cab which was quick but this car is in another power league. Internally it is identical to the non-Turbo versions but externally it has lower suspension (does not like traffic calming humps) and has air vents scooped out of both sides of the car. For those who like relaxed driving keeping revs under 4000 the 911 Turbo is like driving any executive cruise machine but floor the pedal to the metal it becomes quite simply a rocket! Insurance is expensive and fuel consumption can be challenged if driven hard but 25 MPG is easily obtainable. All in all it is a practical supercar and with Tiptronic a relaxed drive even in the city.

Disadvantages: Doesn't suffer fools

designated number which distinguishes each generation. For example, my first 911 was a 1990 Carrera 4 (factory designated 964) which replaced the 911 Carrera Supersport in 1989/90 (G/H Reg), and my second a 1995 Carrera 2 (factory designated 993) (sloping headlamps, more rounded shape).

In this op we are discussing the 964 and 993. The 964 could be bought in several variants; the bog standard 911 Carrera 2, the Carrera 4 (4 wheel drive), the RS (RallyeSport - a lightweight C2) - and of course, the outrageous Turbo. "Carrera", by the way, is the name of a road race in Mexico which Porsche dominated in the late fifties. Traditionally they only used ...

Review of Porsche 911 Carrera 3.6 Cabriolet

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Advantages: the coolest 4x4 ever!!
Disadvantages: everything is an optional extra!

a wonderful peice of kit! although it maybe pricey its worth every penny, when you hit the sports button in my words it goes from cayenne to turbo carrea! it sounds like a nascar when you put your foot down a little, produces an orgasmic sound! the handling of this car is wonderful (on the road) but do be worned my recent testing had prooven this car to be a let down when it comes to snow and offroading! on the other side... when they say the starting price is £75,000 they really mean it! porsche provides everything...as an optional extra!, even floor mats at £90 for a set! You dont even get wheels as standard! i would highly recomend the bose surround sound system for a music lover! ...
