    My idea of Saturday morning ... 991 Turbo S!

    ... finally driven the 991 Turbo S ... amazing performance until 160/170 km/h (compared with 997 GT2 as benchmark), great stability until 180/190 in "sport" mode (car was wearing winter tires so it may improve with proper shoes), didn't really appreciate the difference with sport plus on open road, great comfort, involving exhaust sound, pdk gearbox and steering feel greatly improved compared with the 991 Carrera S, rear steering effect really helpful on the narrow "B" roads.

    For the rest, usual problems of this kind of cars: insane top performance means that you really have to drive fast if you want some challenge, which can be quite dangerous given the speed of the "normal" traffic and quite penalising for your driving license and bank account; ridicolous price tag at 210.000 KEuros in the tested car.




    We also had the pleasure of being introduced to her naughty sister, but we were not allowed to test drive it ... at least for the moment.

    Not because she seems to have a nasty habit of lighting her hair on fire?

    Well, the dealer seemed unaware of the issue ... the reason we were given is that it's the only speciman available in Belgium and it is used as "promotional taxi" for perspective buyers driven by a factory test pilot ... need not so say that I'm not considered a perspective buyer

    those OE wheels on the GT3...?

    That car looks the part. For $200k the Turbo S has very stiff competition...a slightly used Mac comes to mind.

    The GT3 on the other hand...spectacular.
