Or 911 to you people that don't worship at the feet of Dr Porsche. Had one of these babies for a cool 24 hours, lent to me by the friendly people at Porsche. OK so they don't know that I don't have a spare £80,000 lying around but what a buzz, the speed, the sound, the awesome traction coming out of a corner, its like riding the space shuttle before they go power-up to 104%.
This is the car of my dreams but alas it does not live up to my exacting standards. Apart from the rich posers in town who waft around with their girltronic auto versions of this great machine, the car is wasted in the city. It has to be walked over the speed bumps, its angry in gridlock as it just wants to go, parking is a nightmare with those 19 ins alloys that cost a bomb, protected by a mere sliver of rubber, and, you greenies take note, it does 10 mpg in town and struggles to 20 mpg on a run. Makes my Land Rover look like Scrooge on a economy drive.
10 mpg, who cares, this is nearly a 4 litre lump pushing out 355 bhp, 0 - 60 in 5 and a bit secs and I so want one.
Must keep doing the lottery and if you must know, I drove it like it was stolen, how it was meant to be driven. Shame is, if I ever get to own one, I'll be old and unable to drive it properly thus I will be buying the softmatic version and posing around town.
