Of course, that doesn’t mean you can drive recklessly and expect the stability control system to save your butt every time. The best thing to do is to practice with your sports car on a large empty surface like a deserted shopping mall parking lot. We chose Mecaglisse, a gearhead winter wonderland located up in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci and a great place to get an advanced driving course under your belt.
These Porsches are also blessed with convenience amenities that make life easier in winter, like heated seats for example. Let’s not forget that Porsche has a history of cold-weather testing, their camouflaged cars often caught on film in the upmost regions of Sweden.
The main disadvantage with driving sports cars in winter is ground clearance. In heavy snowstorms, you might be plowing the streets.
For those who would like a year-round sports car, driving a Porsche in winter is possible. But then again, like my colleague Bertrand pointed out, just because you can doesn’t mean you want to; out of respect, a lot of owners will never want to see their Porsches covered in salt and road grime. It’s a personal choice, but know that you DO have a choice.
