8. It’s poised to hit the track, but perfectly pleasant on the street.

We had the opportunity to drive the 911 Turbo on twisty roads and the Circuito Estoril, a 13-turn, 2.6-mile road course in Lisbon, Portugal. On the road, the engine is happy to toddle along at city speeds, but a stab of the throttle taps into a deep reservoir of power that makes passing a simple twitch of your right foot. On the track, the prodigious power pins you back in your seat. Ride quality is similar. In Comfort mode, the ride is firm but doesn’t beat you up. Put it in Sport Plus mode and the suspension stiffens for track use. At Estoril, the 911 Turbo reacted quickly to steering and throttle inputs, cornered flat, rotated willingly (but not too willingly!) through turns and was a general joy to drive.
