This is a car designed for both the business meeting and the outside lane of the motorway. It's an everyday machine that just happens to go blisteringly fast.
This is the result of the 911's evolution. Once they were all warriors, now the Turbo is there for the mass market while the GT3 and even Carrera S cater for the more enthusiastic driver.
With the Sport mode off, it will skulk round town as happily as a high-end saloon riding on a wave of torque, and it is now ubiquitous on the streets of London and LA, which may as well have a 10mph speed limit. The car's docility at low speed therefore, is every bit as important as its high-end skills and it will comfortably ferry a passenger and shop through town before the 192mph blast home.
Deep padded seats, deep carpets, a Bose sound system and the Porsche Communication Centre that houses the slick SatNav, phone and stereo system are all indicators of a luxury car, rather than an out-and-out athlete. And with a relaxed set-up and attitude, this really could be a machine for all day, every day.
Porsche's simple, basic dashboard layout is unlikely to win design awards. But then, this sturdy construction feels like it will last for decades and has an intuitive feel.
And aerodynamic tweaks combined with a wind-deflector mean you can have a normal conversation at highway speeds while electrically adjusting your seat and finding a local restaurant. It's that relaxed, it's that refined, it's that good.
Suggesting a soft-top Turbo as the pick of the litter would have been heresy in former incarnations, but the 911 flagship has evolved beyond such petty concerns.
Now the comfortable, well appointed cruiser of the line-up, it can destroy most cars without breaking a sweat and obliterate free space on the Autobahn. But despite its reservoirs of power, it's no longer the real hard-charger in the 911 line-up - it's an intriguing compromise of power and pure luxury.
Chopping the roof off, then, is no longer the sacrifice it once was and for those who live in warmer climes, this is all the car you could ever want.
