Why Car and Driver calls the new 911 Turbo an "everyday rocket"

"Though we had no opportunity to objectively test the Turbo, we did try the launch-control system. To engage it, first press the “Sport Plus” button in the center console, which illuminates a “Sport Plus” light in the left spoke of the PDK sports steering wheel.

When the brake is released, the system provides the ideal amount of clutch slip to make the best use of the car’s prodigious four-wheeled traction. The car blasts off with sufficient acceleration to induce mild vertigo. It is impressive! … As far as midcycle upgrades go, this one is mechanically very substantial and well worth consideration by Turbo fans."
