Has the heatwave put you in the mood for a convertible? Porsche has just the thing...
wasn’t quite so clear cut – it went against the GTS actually – that was as much to do with V10 fizz factor than any technical deficiency in the GTS format. So, what’s it like with a roof chop? Does it remain a pin-sharp effort with the added zest of open-topped fun? Is it a ‘have your cake and eat it’ car?
Let’s begin with the ‘how much?’ and the ‘do you really notice?’ questions. If you’re today’s equivalent of an 80s yuppie – minus the Gordon Gekko braces but interested in looking flash with the driving finesse of an orangutan – probably not. It’s still capable and pretty stiff for a drop top. If you’re above primate levels of chassis sensitivity, there is some discernible shake, although it’s noticeable only over really rough surfaces.
The problem then is the ride. With speed in the car, it rides entirely on a par with how you’d expect a GTS to be: firm but fine. When the speed drops, though, and you’re mooching about in a battle-scarred urban environment – battle scarred by our relentless war on tip-top infrastructure rather than actual bombs – it becomes quite punishing. Even when you drop the suspension back to Comfort it’s not exactly supple, but it’s okay.
To make the most of it you don’t need to be Professor Brian Cox to deduce that less resistance equals amplification. Ergo, when the roof is down there’s more noise, basically. More rasp from the twin tailpipes and more whooshes as well. You’re less aware of the turbocharged element of Carreras when there’s a sheet of tin above your head, but here, with the roof down, there’s no doubt this is a forced induction engine.
