In which Porsche would you enjoy these beautiful roads ;)?
What Porsche would you choose and why? How does each model differ and which might be the most exciting on to drive on twisty roads like these?
Here a bit of input: Cayman S, Boxster S, Carrera S, Carrera 4s, Gt3, Cayman Gt4, Turbo?
Also, which generation would you take? I heard some people prefer the for example the 996 Gt3 over the others or the 997 gt3 (manual) over the 991 (automatic)
In case of the carrera, would you opt for a S or a 4S? I gotta say, the wide back looks very appealing.

Thank you for the video. I lived for a few years in Italy, on the shores of Lago Maggiore, and had a Boxster at the time. This video brought back many memories. Great place, great car, great time.

WAY too tight for anything speedy so go for the open air experience with a Boxster and some sort of modified exhaust which will echo off those walls.

Also, isn't Switzerland one of those places where they take half your net wealth / your car / your genitals if you get a speeding ticket? I don't think I'd have the courage to do Sunday drives there...

yup. But I believe radar detectors are allowed so..
Do any of you have some insight into the cars and their driving ? What would you choose as a weekend car? I'm young and still in education (=no money for a Porsche) but I love to compare em

The drive is underwhelming. For Switzerland very disappointing. But I agree, a convertible is the appropriate car for that lame drive.

Take a look at a great road - CA128 - as shown in this MotorWeek 991.2 review

Radar detectors are probably pretty useless on twisty roads-- you tend to come around corners and stumble directly into the cop, who can then stop you based on their impression of your speed alone. Or at least, that's how it works here.
Thankfully, the police usually stick to setting up static speed traps on freeways here. I guess why wait around all day to catch a couple of dudes in sports cars on an empty back road when you could just set up shop on the 101 and write tickets continuously all day long?

I'd be in my 964 c2 coupe. Narrow roads are a joy in a classic, air cooled 911. The modern cars need bigger speeds to enjoy.
