Time for tea? Porsche 911 in action
Bored of new 911 content yet? Bad luck because now you can hear it as well as read about it
Here then is a video from the handling track Porsche built for the launch event in Santa Barbara. Yes, the tarmac was laid over the top of an old runway specifically for a bit of hoonage, which given that the local Highway Patrol were fully up to speed with the launch timetable and test route was probably a good thing. They must have had a cracking couple of weeks knowing that at a given time each day a fresh batch of over-exciteable hacks in brand-new 911s was headed their way. No, we didn't get done but we saw a couple of people who did and one Chinese journalist may apprently have a fairly exciting time if they ever try and re-enter the United States after being caught at a fairly robust speed a few days ahead of our visit.
Anyway, the video gives you a sense of what the new car can do, plus exactly why you should be spending your options budget on £1,772 worth of sportlich auspuff and the £890 Porsche Torque Vectoring limited slip diff package rather than £2,986 worth of Burmester 'high end surround sound system'. We're here to help.
And, no, we can't take credit for the driving unfortunately. But we gave it a pretty good shot.

It's purely a motorway gear really.
