My dream garage is faced with a rather delicious debate – GT3 RS or GT4 RS as the designated track tool? Fortunately, Porsche India had both on hand during the recently concluded Porsche Driving Experience at the BIC (Buddh International Circuit) to help me reach a hypothetical conclusion.
So, let the games begin…
SLALOM
Not so fast. You think Porsche is just going to let you loose on a Formula 1 circuit with its most prized machinery? Not quite!
We started out in the lowly 911 Cabriolet – well, “lowly” only in the company of Porsche’s legendary GT cars – on a slalom course in the parking lot to get acclimatised. And that’s just as well, since it eases you into what is an extremely special day of driving.
The 911 Cab was followed in quick succession by the 911 Turbo S, which makes speed so accessible that you have to recalibrate the pace at which the neurons travel from your right foot to your brain’s frontal lobe. The 3.8-litre flat-six in the Turbo S puts out 641bhp and propels this relatively unassuming missile on four wheels to 100km/h in just 2.7 seconds. Of course, all this speed will cost you – a mere `3.35 crores for performance that would shame any super-car on the planet.
The key to the slalom course is to look as far ahead as possible and be as smooth as possible – both valuable lessons to learn before the main course, the 5.125 kilometres of the Buddh International Circuit.
