Maybe worth pointing out that playing around like this is easier in snow than on wet or dry roads (though I'm not suggesting that everyone try it).

Hey bud. I'm moving on from this thread. Shame that as soon as someone wants to have a discussion and there is even a hint of a different view, they get labeled a 'hater'.
I think I may have learned my lesson finally. RL (or any forum) is not a place for open discussion. Seems my personality doesn't quite fit.

Thing is this guy has got them all, so the moment he gets a new one he just takes it for a spin, no matter what it is, or where he is... takes a couple pics for Instagram and moves on.
Plus in Italy we're not so **** with cars and PPF or coatings waxing etc, we drive the damn thing hard and don't look back.

The Cayenne's are indeed AWD, but with the ESC off you can do some drifting. Not serious RWD drifts, but they will go sideways. I am not sure what the Rear to Front torque bias is on a Cayenne, but to me it feels more like a RWD with the fronts coming on with added power. My V60, which is also AWD, feel more like a FWD and the rears coming on with added power. The V60 does not really drift as well as the Cayenne. But I am just a Junior drifter

Porsche especially GT and R ones are made to be hard driven.
This guy, no matter what he owns or paid, uses his GT3 and more other supercars very very well on the Nordschleife.
I think pretty nobody here, is faster than him. It must be counted on one hand.
Here, he is only have fun, as if a normal driver would do donuts on a parking, but he does it with a much higher level, that's all.
Personnally i have respect for people who use their cars for what it is built and engineered.

Did an autocross in the Porsche driving academy in a cayenne turbo.. amazing how it could get into mild oversteer situations and how the PTV felt like a hook pulling the car into a corner.. but tires couslnt handle the incredible mass and we're toast half way through the day. impressive to see how it handled though.
I have a Cayenne Turbo S.
Wanna know why I bought one?
When we did a 918 track event in Paul Ricard last November, we were suppose to drive 918s and GT3RSs. At one point the sky opened up. Black flagged the track.
Instead of having us wait around for better weather, Porsche arranged hot laps in Cayenne Turbo S and Panamera S for their factory drivers. (their limo transport for the short hop between the hotel and track and airport)
Holy molly, after a hot lap inside a Cayenne Turbo S, which was done sideways and drifting for every single corner, I was hooked. I ordered a car right there right then. It was unreal for how the Cayenne can do on a track! Absolutely physics defying stuff.

He is in 3rd gear most of the time and with respect to the politically correct gearings Porsche uses these days, I think car speed is probably quite impressive in these conditions. (yes, I know rear wheels are spinning violently, that's why I said car speed).
Massive respect to the driver/owner - I love it 100%.

I hope to drive like that one day with all the cars I collect.
