We pitted the new Porsche 991-spec 911 Carrera S Cabriolet against the Audi R8 V8 Spyder in the new May 2012 issue of CAR Magazine. And we’ve bolted together a quick video from our thrash around Wales to whet your appetite for the full story in print.

Chris Chilton argues all of this, and more, in a gripping nine-page story in the new May 2012 issue.
Don’t miss the moment when he gets the 911 Carrera S airborne in our video above. And click here for a digital, page-turning preview of CAR Magazine.
