Bad Driburg, Germany -- Your first hour in the new Porsche 911 Turbo is on narrow lanes threading through villages, not exactly prime stuff for motoring, and you leave the car in sport mode. Your first thought? The Porsche is a bit cold, rather distant. Firing over a stretch of rolling hills between settlements, the instant-on speed is obvious, but there’s none of the flat-six rasp of a naturally aspirated Carrera -- and certainly none of attack-wasp fury of the GT3. Instead, the sound of the turbos blows through the cabin in a hushed wave.
