Descapotables turbo de 4 cilindros

Me adelanto a Vollblut y comparto este interesante artículo de la revista Excellence comparando un 718 Boxster con un 944 Turbo Cabrio.

"The 944 can also be driven very swiftly thanks to its sporty suspension that still offers enough comfort. In tight corners, there is noticeable body roll, but the suspension smoothes out bumps very effectively. Spirited driving on country backroads reveals no under- or oversteer. Even at higher speeds, the 944 remains stable and gives the driver a high degree of confidence. Thanks to the transaxle layout with a rear-mounted transmission, the 944 also offers good traction.

The precise steering offers a good amount of feedback, albeit with heavier effort compared to the 718. The handling prowess of the 944 is almost a bit surprising considering its age. But after a few miles of driving the pop-up-headlight Porsche, there’s a big grin on our face.

Switching to the 718 Boxster immediately reveals that the automotive world has entered a whole new era within the last 25 years. Everything happens much more fluidly and to a higher degree of perfection. The gear shift lever is positioned perfectly, slightly reminiscent of the one in the Carrera GT supercar. The seats offer more lateral support as the 718 tackles curves with aplomb and no noticeable body roll.

Thanks to a very even distribution of weights, the 718 remains neutral during hard cornering. While the 944 suspension seems to communicate to the driver in an analog way, the electronic suspension systems and stability control work effectively and unbeknownst to the driver. It is shocking how much quicker and more stable the 718 charges through corners, how much more engaging it is to drive, and how fast the car is overall."
