The Lagair is a badge for the start of Carrera 4S Cabrio in Bersberg Palace of Bergish Gladbach. And also - fourteen poles lined up in two rows on the palace tracks in anticipation of the saddles.

Apparently, Stuttgart Organizers decided, not to say unnecessary words, immediately disperse the automotive community by the quality of the goods - the plan is elegant, like a stone tied to a stick, which we were shouted on the head (for dark: this is a quote from O'Henry).

So that no one has illusions: 911 carrera 4s cabriolet is equipped with a 3.8-liter engine, which has a capacity of 355 horses and accelerates cars up to one hundred and 4.7 seconds. The highest speed measured on the track, - 288 km / h. But, unlike other countries, in Germany you can ride in the same way in some sections of civilian motorways. At the same time, the organizers are cynical to all of us advised, despite the speed modes, to follow road rules.

We leave the city of Bensberg, who was merged by the administrative reform of 1974 with Bergish-gladbah together, and we have an option slightly to run on the federal highway A4. What we use.

Ahead of us are colleagues from Spain - now there is a possibility to consider the stern of the new flagship of Porsche. This lincard has an amazing muscular ass. Indeed, the circles around the rear wheels are 4.4 cm wider than that of the front-wheel drive models 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, which, of course, are quite well known to the readers of the autopilot and just fans of the legendary car. Oksana Hartonyuk (Porsche Rasha), who sits on my right, says that the muscular is considered a general view of the new car, and not just ass, and in general, the word ass in corporate materials is not found. Well, okay, we just like how this wide bright frog stands on the road. Although some believe that this is a cat on four paws. We give us that the word cat is already tightly occupied by another chic brand of car.

The press conference on which only one question sounded and then in Spanish, dinner began. He was worthy of the price category of the new model. Wine was like this: 2004 Le Domaine de Menard Cote de GascoGne and 2003 Belleruche Cote du Rhone M.Chapoutier. Still, the Schloss Bensberg Hotel consists of a very decent association Leading Hotels of the World.

On the second day after a long conversation under the cigar about the fate of the empires, it turned out that the rain was only intensified, and now there can be no speech about the open roof. This time we got a red Carrera with a 3.6-liter engine. It accelerates a little bit, but the body feels this difference without instrumental control not very clearly. And here other seats, as it seemed to us after much sharp by 3.8 liters. This time the route is designed for passing in two hours - 120.9 km. It includes a plot of autobahn, hilly serpentines, small roads in dark forests through Engelskirchen, Marienheide, Kurten and Lindlar. And on a blowable wet autobahn, and on the narrow wet tracks the machine behaves perfectly, despite the fact that the rear wheels have a little already than in 4s, and have dimensions of 295/35 Zr 18.
And in terms of applied linguistic language - we seemed funny that in Russian Carrera is, of course, it, while the manufacturer calls his Brother Cars cars - that is, brothers.

To enhance the safety of ride in the open car, both subjects turned out to be equipped with Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP), which includes separate oscillates for the head and Thorax for both front sedimons. Plus, of course, frontal full-size airbags. For a coup version - two heavy-duty steel pipes and two powerful rods located behind the rear seats.
