The new third edition Porsche 911 Turbo cabriolet will shortly be hitting the streets. As an avid Porsche fan I had to tell you all about it.

With a top speed of 193mph it puts it at one of the fastest road cars around. For all you motor geeks it has a twin turbocharged, 3.6-litre flat-six develops 473bhp at 6,000rpm and 457lb ft of torque at just 1,850rpm. It also has a six-speed manual gearbox equating to 0-62mph in four seconds, but if you opt for the £1,800 triptonic gearbox you can expect to shave 0.2 seconds off that!

It’s got a blaring 12 speaker Bose sound system, leather upholstery, a wind deflector and rollover bars that automatically pop up if sensors decide you are going to kill yourself at a silly speed.

It’ll set you back £106,180, but if you have a wad full of cash and small man syndrome this could change your life!

The optional Sports Chrono Package Plus features a dashboard-mounted stopwatch and, more important, an overboost function that allows peak torque to swell to 501lb ft for brief periods.

The only snag is that the fin doesn’t activate unless you are doing 75mph, not sure the police will understand!
