Anyone taken a Touring to top speed?
Just interested... and if so what speed did you get, did you do anything with tire pressures, and did you have any stability issues?

Touring at speed
Hello, I do not track my cars much and besides there are a few tracks where you can really approach top speed... Neither I usually go at insane speeds on the open road unless it is a very clear autobahn with minimal traffic ...
Having said that, I took the Touring to about 305 km/h on the car's odometer once or twice for comparison purposes.
It felt quite slow to get up to speed after 280, more or less like the 991 RS I used to have and it felt to me less well planted at very high speeds than the RS.
No special issue, but it is definitely a little less confidence inspiring on high speed corners than the RS.
Not a car to challenge any modern super sedan on the autobahn, it was born with a different mission.
For my preferred use, mountain driving, it is much better than the RS in my opinion and I am glad I made the change.
