Porsche has always touted the 911 as a vehicle that can do it all, daily drive, grand tour, and tear up a track, but what does journalist Harry Metcalfe think?

In a video posted to the Harry’s Garage YouTube channel, former EVO editor Harry Metcalfe takes his newly-acquired Porsche 930 Turbo S on a huge road trip from the UK to some of the best roads in Spain, and provides a thorough review of the now-vintage sports car.

Harry purchased the 1989 Porsche 930 Turbo S several months ago, which triggered much fanfare from regular viewers of the channel because they knew that a road trip would eventually follow. The Porsche has an interesting backstory that makes it different from other 930 Turbos, which Metcalfe explains in that original reveal video.

To get the full experience of the trip and the locations Harry visits you’ll need to watch the video because all we’re interested in is the car.

Turbo vehicles of that era have a reputation as being… let’s say unforgiving, meaning that they were known to snap quite violently when the turbo lag finally caught up with the rest of the engine. Luckily, Metcalfe manages to keep the correct end of the vehicle pointed ahead at all times.

The car was full of surprises, but not all of them were good ones. Chief among which was the mileage, which only managed to reach 13 miles per gallon on the highway, without even thinking of putting the pedal to the metal. After a day of spirited driving, that number dropped to 11.7 mpg, with Metcalfe remarking that even his V12-powered Lamborghini Espada and Ferrari Testarossa managed over 20 mpg on the highway. The number is in spite of the extremely long gears, with top gear remaining untouched until 80 mph.

On the bright side, 3 or 4 duffel bags were able to fit in the trunk of the Porsche, and the sonorous flat-six bellows off the mountainside, all 400 horses galloping in unison to the beat of 3.4 liters. When it comes to bringing it all back to zero, however, the brakes shudder and fade, which isn’t what you want on the side of a mountain. Metcalfe also mentions that the pedal position makes it difficult to heel and toe.

As always, Metcalfe is an inspiration for those of us who would love to take vintage supercars on true grand tours around Europe, and beyond.
