The Porsche 992 Turbo Cabriolet might be the biggest and heaviest 911, but behind the wheel it honestly doesn’t feel that way. Thanks to the rear-axle steering, the car feels incredibly agile and much smaller than it actually is. Combined with the all-wheel drive system, it delivers massive grip and confidence, even on tight and technical roads.
What really surprised me was the front-end precision. It’s sharp and responsive enough that you don't feel like you’re missing out too much compared to GT models. And while the sound isn’t comparable to a naturally aspirated GT3, it still has a fun and engaging exhaust sound, aswell as Induction noice and loud blow off sounds. the occasional pops and bangs round up the package very well.
the acceleration is so strong that I genuinely started to question: who really needs a Turbo S? This Turbo Cabriolet already feels insanely fast in every situation.

The host drives a Porsche 992 Turbo Cabriolet through the scenic landscapes and mountain roads of Mallorca, Spain. The video highlights the car's immense power, handling capabilities, and the breathtaking scenery of the Tramontana Mountains, showcasing the vehicle's performance in a real-world, twisty environment.
Welcome everyone to another Soul Drives video.
And welcome to the beautiful island of Mallorca here in Spain.
I'm here with the Porsche 992 Turbo Cabriolet.
580 horsepower, 750 Nm of torque out of a 3.7 liter turbocharged flat six.
The power goes to all four wheels and we also got rear wheel steer, which makes it a very competent car on these tight and twitchy mountain roads.
The car was very kindly lent to me by Sportwagen Gensler, an exotic car dealer and rental car company here on the island.
So if you're interested in driving these roads as well, check the link in the description.
For now, I'm going to make my way across the island and into the mountains.
Something very different to typical naturally aspirated Porsches that I drive on the channel.
But it's actually not as quiet as I thought it would be.
And it does have some pops and bangs.
And the blow-off sound is insane.
2.8 seconds 0-60 through the sunny mountain landscape of Mallorca.
Tunnel.
Still a loud car.
It's just beautiful around here.
The turbo is super, super responsive.
And although it's one of the biggest cars Porsche has ever produced, it does not feel like a huge car.
With the rear wheel steer and the all-wheel drive system, there's really loads of grip.
The car feels very nimble and twitchy around tight bends, which is exactly what we have right here.
A lot of twisty roads, a lot of tight bends.
And in about 12 minutes, I will be at the Tramontana Mountains, which will be absolutely amazing.
I was told it's one of the most beautiful roads on Mallorca.
And we will be able to see a really, really nice sunset on top of the mountain.
One of the most beautiful roads here in Mallorca.
With a lot of tight corners.
And also, yeah, a lot of cyclists around.
So it will be a fun but very careful drive.
The scenery here is already...
It's so amazing.
It's an all-wheel drive, rear wheel steer monster.
And it has a huge amount of grip.
You'd actually have to go very, very fast to lose any traction in this car.
The road is already getting more and more empty.
Not many cyclists around anymore.
With a bit more time, I can see this road potential.
And that will be absolutely amazing.
Man, this car just...
This has too much power for this road.
It's just insane.
This car just beams itself.
From hairpin to hairpin.
A little bit of wheelspin there.
But man, it's just... It's so fast.
You got all kinds of different sounds.
Turbo spools, blow-off sounds, exhaust noise.
Which sounds amazing against these rock walls.
Down into first, hairpin.
It still manages to spin all four wheels with its all-wheel drive system.
It's so fast that it really settles in all the weight in the back when you go full on the throttle.
And the front end becomes very light for just a moment of pure acceleration.
And you really actually get some understeer there.
Actually have the steering wheel slightly turned to the right still.
But it just flies in a straight line out of the corners.
Insane.
And up towards the next hairpin.
