The 981 seems massive to me so I dread to think what the turbo feels like. The rear wheel steering will certainly aid agility and gets a big thumbs up from me but there's no getting over the physical width.
One of the slowest cars point to point I have ever owned was actually the fastest in a straight line, namely an F355. On many of my favourite roads it was on or over the centre line so every time a car came the other way I had to slow down to a crawl so we could pass safely. Overtaking was nigh on impossible despite the performance. Then the suspension was so stiff and our roads so poor, powering out of a corner resulted in more axle hop than forward traction. It was hopeless on anything but a smooth A road or track and in SE England where I live, the A roads are generally over-crowded and very boring.
