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.

Instead, the sound of the turbos blows through the cabin in a hushed wave.
