The spirit of the old Turbo GT lives on in a newly electrified 'GT Package' - how is it?
. Yes, the one that still looks a lot like the old one - Porsche doesn’t really go in for the dramatic mid-life facelift. The important bits are an overhauled interior, a much bigger, cleverer battery for the E-Hybrid models , and a reworked chassis - including new two-valve dampers - that ought to improve both comfort and performance.
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 can be asked to do plenty of things, including maintaining and topping up battery charge. Its arrival certainly doesn’t go unnoticed, that’s for sure, a great big ‘whump’ of V8 bass greeting all occupants when the time comes to really get motoring.
The very fact the circuit performance of the hybrid GT can be discussed and debated shows how sorted it is. That said, it was a hard car to establish a rhythm with, almost too aggressive in its turn-in and power transfer to get comfy with. Probably it’d maybe make more sense on the optional tyre, and when it’s not 30 degrees. Assuming it’s even of the remotest concern, of course; here’s a Cayenne that’ll keep up with quite senior 911s around a track, which will be more than enough for most.
