I drive Porsches in winter. The key is to have SNOW tires on dedicated set of wheels. You also have to drive in snow < 4" for clearance Clarence reasons.

My various Porsche winter cars have included:
01 Boxster S
08 Boxster Limited Edition
07 Cayman S
08 Cayman S Sport

They have lots of rust protection on them. Keep them clean and you'll be OK.

When someone asks if I drive my cars in the winter, I respond in my best German accent, "dey have snow in da Fatherland".
