Could it be true? Porsche wins Handling Day

Midengine and just perfect handling was better than anything else when the new online magazine sportscartesting.com did its first Handling Day.

The winner in the comparison test on speed, braking, handling and fun was Porsche Boxster S in front of e.g. two Ferrari’s, Porsche 911 Turbo, Lotus Elise, Opel Speedster and Mazda MX-5.

Responsible for the test results, Flemming Haslund, explains:

”Quite a few were surprised, that a sports car with ”only” 250 HP could win the test. But Boxster wins thanks to its perfect balance, that makes it easy to drive. Boxster S wasn’t as fast into all measure points at the test track as Ferrari 360 Modena, but it is better than the Ferrari, because it is easier to handle. Boxster S wasn’t funnier to drive than Opel Speedster – but it beats the lightweight Opel, thanks to a lot more beefy engine. Boxster S wasn’t as fast as the Porsche 911 turbo at the end of the straight – but it beats is own big brother thanks to the more precise handling. And this is how it beats all the competitors – car-by-car” explains Mr. Haslund.
