Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet: Review by TopGear

TopGear has done a review of the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Nice read!

Power delivery via the twin variable-geometry turbos is not exactly what you'd call smooth - accelerate from below 1,500rpm, and you wonder what all the fuss is about at first; 2,000rpm arrives without much fanfare, but you can begin to feel a bit of drama building; 3,000rpm is the warm-up act; then 4,000rpm arrives, and it's as if the Rolling Stones have suddenly set up a full-blown concert behind your head.

You can hear great dollops of air being sucked into the rear, and the car just launches itself up the road.

All credit to Porsche, because this is an extremely refined soft top. The three-layer roof does a seriously good job of isolating noise, to the point where you wonder whether folding hard-tops are OTT.

All of which makes me believe that this is, in fact, the 911 Turbo of choice.
