Ngemva kokulindela amamodeli amasha ka-2015, i-Porsche yanquma ukukhetha imigwaqo engcono kakhulu yokujabulela ukudalwa kwe-Stuttgart.
I-Porsche inqume ukukhetha eminye yemigwaqo ehamba phambili emhlabeni. Ubeke ithoni futhi manje uthemba ukuthi abanikazi bomkhiqizo babelana nomhlaba ngezindawo ezinhle kakhulu zokujabulela imidlalo yabo. Umzila ojikeleza umhlaba wonke ungatholakala kulesi sixhumanisi, lapho i-Porsche imema amakhasimende ayo ukuthi athumele imigwaqo ayithandayo ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-GTS Factor, lapho elanda khona izixhumanisi ze-GPS.
Ohlwini, sekukhona imigwaqo kazwelonke. Sigqamisa i-Serra da Arrábida kanye ne-Serra de Janela, ngokuvamile isiteji seseshini yezithombe ngu-Razão Automóvel.

Endaweni yesi-5, umgwaqo okungewona owabaphelelwa yinhliziyo. Saqala lolu hambo lokuzungeza umhlaba ngezwekazi lase-Asia, emgwaqeni oyisivivinyo sangempela sokuqina kwesakhiwo. Sikhuluma ngomgwaqo onqamula izintaba zaseTaihang eShayina, odume kakhulu ngemihubhe emide emincane.

I-Porsche Boxster GTS ikhethelwe lo mgwaqo. I-330hp yayo ingaphezu kokwanele ukujabulela indawo emoyeni ovulekile - ngebhokisi le-PDK kanye nephakheji ye-sport chrono, ukusheshisa ukusuka ku-4.7s kuya ku-100km/h kuthembisa ubumnandi obuningi.
Endaweni yesi-4, samisa emazweni ase-Afrika, ikakhulukazi eNingizimu Afrika eGarden Route enhle kakhulu, ehlanganisa iKapa nePort Elizabeth ngo-749km.
Njengoba ungewona umgwaqo onzima, kungenzeka ukujabulela imibono, phambi kwezilwane nezitshalo ezihlukahlukene kakhulu kanye nalokho kushona kwelanga okuyi-Afrika kuphela.

Endaweni yesi-3, siya e-Oceania, ikakhulukazi e-Australia. Indawo enemigwaqo emihle, ekwazi ukusinikeza inhlobonhlobo yezimo nezimo ezimangalisayo ukuze sijabulele i-Porsche yingakho sikhethe i-911 Targa 4S, ukuze sivakashele i-Great Ocean Road.
Kungu-243km endaweni ehamba phambili yogu lwase-Australia emgwaqeni okumema ukuthi usheshise. Ngenxa yesakhiwo esimazombezombe, akukho lutho olungcono kunokuba ne-911 Targa 4S edonsa ngawo wonke amasondo ukugcina ubumnandi «kuma-axles».
Endaweni yesibili, omunye wemigwaqo edume kakhulu ezwenikazi elidala, kukhona amajika angama-75km axhunywe ukuphakama okufika ku-1871m ukuphakama, aqala (noma aphele…) e-Alps Ortler, esigodini saseStelvio e-Italy.

Ngo-560hp wayo ocwebezelayo, sinamandla angaphezu kwenele okwenza lawa ma-75km wehle umqansi noma ukhuphuke, sihlinzeke izikhathi zobumnandi obungalibaleki.
Futhi endaweni yokuqala kufika i-Estrada Panamericanna, enobude obungu-48,000km. Ngokungangabazeki omunye wemigwaqo engcono kakhulu emhlabeni yokuba iqembu lemigwaqo ehlukene exhuma lonke ugu olusempumalanga yaseMelika.
