Porsche 997 Turbo

Over the years there have been many top sports cars described, somewhat incautiously, as the ultimate all round sports car, combining luxurious cabin, outrageous power, fantastic handling with what might arguably be thought of as the most elusive element - every day practicality. Such a crown regularly passes from one car to another but just at the moment there are many, including Jason Plato of "Fifth Gear" fame, who feel that the Porsche 997 Turbo is head and shoulders clear of its rivals when it comes to claiming victory in the ultimate all rounder stakes.

With the finely honed 3.6 litre flat 6 engine this Porsche can deliver a staggering 480 BHP, can accelerate from rest to 62mph in a mind numbing 3.9 seconds and could carry on up to 193 mph. Breathtaking figures for sure but when all this power is linked with one of the lightest four wheel drive systems in the world, two turbos and the astonishingly clever variable turbo system that ensures the turbo blades are always at the optimum angle of attack to optimize boost you find you are at the wheel of the most sure footed, most powerful and most enjoyable sports cars in the world. Better still the technology senses which axle is most in need of power and delivers all that power in the safest possible way so as to let you have fun whilst minimizing that chance of the back end overtaking the front.
