Pick your Porsche

The Porsche World Roadshow is a travelling circus where the performing artists are compared to horses. Lots of horses… 4055 horsepower in all. The idea is to give customers and lucky journalists like myself a taste of the latest of what Porsche has to offer. The line-up waiting for us at the Aamby Valley airstrip, Lonavala is enough to give even a supercar-toting English Premier League footballer goosebumps. The latest direct-injection Carrera with the PDK gearbox, the Cayman S, the Boxster S, the 911 Turbo, the Cayenne Turbo and the Cayenne GTS are in attendance. Our group’s instructor is Klaus. He’s driven every new Porsche and yet, believes the Carrera S is the best one for everyday use. He says the 911 Turbo has too much potential to be fully exploited everyday. At this point the 911 Turbo is all I want. If a handful of customers felt the way I did at the end of the day, it’s job well done for Porsche.
