You’ve got to the brits with their understated irony. In this hilarious video we see Tiff Needell scare the living daylights out of his colleague Jason Plato, both Fifth Gear testing the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Some of the funnier moments include quotes such as “corner! corner! That was a fiesty one”, simply “Jesus Christ!” and “oh Crikey! Woo woo woo - let me tell the story”. This is one to combat the Monday blues. Enjoy! If you want to see the full test version without the behind scenes fun, see our post here on Fifth Gear’s 911 Turbo cabrio test.
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder is slated as the biggest competition yet for the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio, which previously had the market virtually all to itself. The guys from Fifth Gear decided to put the two to a challenge to see which one races best. There’s clearly not much in it, in terms of performance specs and both have their own distinct style and status among car lovers. It’s your typical, slightly bizarre English test where the two guys spend half the time yelling at each other at high speeds with the roof down. But it looks like fun…. See which one wins in the video above.
Here’s the Porsche 911 Turbo cabrio in action in a video from egmcartech. The cabrio will be fitted with the same six-cylinder, twin-turbo boxer engine as the coupe. The increase to the 3.8-litre has 500 hp and direct injection.
