While road noise on the Porsche鈥檚 typically wide-section rear tyres continues to be the car鈥檚 downfall, it鈥檚 impossible to pick fault with the way it rides on a motorway. Shamefully, adaptive cruise control is a 拢1,203 option. Oh well, you can鈥檛 have it all. While the roads we drove weren鈥檛 soaking wet, you鈥檇 happily describe them as greasy. Normal mode is where many drivers will spend most of their time, and it鈥檚 in this setting where the 911 arguably feels most complete. Striking a beautiful balance between compliant cruiser and ballistic missile, it allows you to pootle calmly through town before unleashing 444bhp when the roads open up. The gearbox, despite now featuring eight (instead of seven) ratios, is as alive and responsive as ever - the short but perfectly mounted shift paddles falling neatly to hand in the 10-to-2 position. Speaking of the steering, this is an area where the 911 continues to delight, setting a high bar in the sub-拢100k sports car class.
The wheel is upright, but there鈥檚 loads of feel, providing lightning fast reactions and a level of precision missing in many rivals. It offers a perfect match for the muscular engine and responsive gearbox. Both the S and 4S use an evolution of the 3.0-litre turbo flat-six found in the outgoing car. Turn the starter switch and you鈥檙e welcomed by a familiar bark as the revs rise before settling into a burbling idle. It鈥檚 relatively quiet around town, but push harder and you can hear the extra whooshes and whistles as the turbo spools, as well as the occasional pop and bang when you lift off. It can鈥檛 match the aural engagement of a Jaguar F-Type, but it鈥檚 better than before. Elsewhere, the cabin offers a big step up over the car it replaces, with a clutter-free dashboard centred around a short, stubby gear lever. There鈥檚 a line of simple toggle switches harking back to 911s of old, while the central screen sits higher up and is easier to navigate as a result. The digital displays either side of the rev counter offer crystal clear trip and navigation info on demand. 2, however. While it鈥檚 both more dynamic and easier to live with, the rear seats are strictly for kids - and even then you鈥檒l have their muddy feet brushing against the supportive and infinitely adjustable front chairs. If just two of you are travelling, those backs seats double as a luggage rack - and there鈥檚 sufficient space in the nose (132 litres) for a couple of soft bags.
When you see one of Lamborghini's supercars go blurring past your vision, a tractor is not the first image that comes to mind. But Ferruccio Lamborghini got his start successfully building tractors after World War II. In 1963, with the help of a former Ferrari employee, he built his first car, the 350 GT coupe. With a head-busting V12 engine, Lamborghini's goal was to create a race car for everyday street use. He used his zodiac symbol, the bull, as the company logo and in naming subsequent cars. The 350 GT was followed memorably in 1966 with the Miura, Lamborghini's first real supercar. A steeply sloped nose gave it aggressive looks, and it was the first time a mid-mounted V12 engine was put in anything but a Formula One race car. The Miura was an immediate hit and helped get Lamborghini through some tough times in the 1970s during the gas crisis and bankruptcy filing. In the 1970s, Lamborghini went through a series of owners and added four-seat cars such as the Espada and Urraco, as well as an all-terrain Cheetah. The Countach is Lamborghini's most recognizable car to date, with its trademark swing-up scissor doors. Introduced in 1974, it helped reinvigorate the company somewhat in the 1980s, as it was a perfect complement to that decade's emphasis on excess. Chrysler bought the carmaker in the early 1990s, and together they worked on the new Diablo, a replacement for the Countach and equally successful for both its speed and ferocious appearance. Audi AG bought the company in 1998 and its V8 engines have shown up in current Lamborghinis as V10s. The Diablo was replaced in 2001 by the popular Murcielago and the more recent Gallardo coupe and convertible. Lamborghini's name is synonymous with wealth and power, exemplified in the bold lines, fierce stance, and growling engines in its sports cars. The automaker has never had a vast lineup, perhaps because its cars are so intense and extreme in both performance and style - too many would be just too much.
Mont-Tremblant, QC - While the 911 remains the symbol of the Porsche brand, the Cayenne is its financial foundation. The subject of much criticism and hand-wringing when it debuted in 2002, the Cayenne has nonetheless accounted for 40% of the Stuttgart-based brand鈥檚 total sales of the Stuttgart brand since then. Since the Cayenne鈥檚 arrival in Canada in 2003, Porsche has sold over 22,000 units of the model here. And this trend towards selling tons of utility models goes beyond the Cayenne. The truth is, despite all of the complaints and the indignation manifested by some fans, Porsche would simply not be profitable without the contribution of its SUVs. In other words, if Porsche is still in a position to continue with its sports cars, it鈥檚 thanks to the profits generated by the sale of its utility models. Porsche introduced us to the 2019 versions of the Cayenne S and Turbo in the midst of a wintry cold spell in the Mont-Tremblant area.
