The Turbo comes with Active Suspension Management, which provides continuous damping adjustment, taking into account everything from surface changes to cornering loads. Standard and harder Sport modes are offered.

Big 19-inch alloy wheels look great. Their forged construction reduces weight and keeps the amount of bracing in the spokes to a minimum. This allows unobstructed cooling for the huge 13-inch disc brakes.

Packing the 3.6-litre twin-turbo into such a tight space is a work of engineering skill. The optional Sports Chrono pack features a Sport button, which increases torque by 60Nm to 680Nm, and sharpens throttle response.

Trademark five-pod dials are easy to read and include a central digital display. The Turbo comes with the Porsche Communication System (PCM), which houses sat-nav and audio controls, as standard.

The lower section of the spoiler is fixed, while the upper element raises at 75mph to increase stability. Compared to the old Turbo, downforce at top speed has risen by 27kg, but the drag coefficient is still 0.31Cd
