Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:54Hammond uses analogies to explain turbocharging and connects the technology to Porsche's racing history.
  2. 4:00The whale-tail spoiler and flared wheel arches give the classic Turbo its distinctive silhouette.
  3. 4:45A narrow powerband and lack of modern driver assists make the drive demanding and involving.
  4. 5:46This final-year example has a five-speed G50 gearbox and hydraulic clutch, though the pedal positioning takes adjustment.
  5. 8:33Plush cabin fittings underline its grand-touring role; Hammond later says she would choose it over a modern sports car.

Izzy Hammond has the keys to one of her dream cars, but the Porsche's reputation comes along for the ride. In DRIVETRIBE's "Izzy Hammond Drives the Porsche Everyone Warned Her About", she discovers that wanting a classic Turbo and getting comfortable in one are rather different things.

The pedals sit high and off to the left. There are no modern driver assists to soften the experience, and the engine delivers its strongest shove within a narrow band of revs. Hammond describes a car that demands attention rather than quietly sorting everything out for its driver.

That is also much of its appeal. Her explanation of turbocharging leads into the experience behind the wheel: waiting for the boost, hearing the wastegate hiss and finding out what makes this Porsche feel so involving. Outside, she picks out the flared wheel arches and famous whale-tail spoiler. Inside, the plush fittings make a different point: this is a luxurious grand tourer, not a stripped-out racing car.

The owner lent her this 1989 example after a visit to The Smallest Cog. As an end-of-production car, it has a five-speed gearbox and hydraulic clutch, details Hammond explains alongside the less technical pleasure of its cabin. "It's this beautiful mix of old leather and fuel," she says.

The review has drawn nearly a million views in a week. But its clearest conclusion needs no tally: "I would have this car over a modern sports car any day of the week." The awkward pedals have not talked her out of it.
