Just had the driving experience ,so here's what we did and some random thoughts.
Cayenne 3.0d on road : didn't drive it as we have one so let my friend have my turn as well .
Macan 3.0d on road : written before about the macan so not much to say,this had the lane departure system which we spent a bit of time playing with ,very useful if you do massive miles.
Panamera 4.2d on road : wow ,fantastic machine .The interior is stunning and this had huge spec so massaging seats etc.Car is 5m long but drives like a 3 series sized car ,aided in this case by rws which was massively impressive.Very very fast for diesel,a truly fabulous car ,definitely raised the game in terms if driving dynamics for a large saloon .
Cayman & boxsters on kick plate etc: not much to say ,chassis on new models is fantastic ,engine effective but soulless .
Gt4 : driven by instructor on low grip surface ,sideways fun that never fails to amuse .
991.2s : 2 versions ..pdk 4wd & manual 2wd both on track : Not brave enough to get it unstuck,so much grip.Manual change was good but a bit vague compared to gt4,clutch very light .2wd car felt lighter on its feet and to my surprise felt a fair bit quicker ,4wd just felt invincible .
I did not notice any lag ,but then again we were usually at higher revs .Engine revved out to just under 8000rpm ,doesn't sound as good as the n/a engines ,but it enables more useable speed and allows you to push the car chassis a bit harder .The chassis is stunning on these and neither had 4ws .
