Porsche Boxster S (2012) CAR review

Porsche Boxster S (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 09 March 2012 07:00

This is the all-new Porsche Boxster, the third generation of Porsche’s mid-engined drop-top. Just like its big brother, the 991-gen Porsche 911, there are big changes afoot: a new aluminium/steel hybrid bodyshell, significantly tweaked vital stats, a base engine that gets 200cc smaller while also gaining performance, and new electromechanical steering. Read on for our first drive review of the ...

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 25 November 2010 12:45

This is Porsche’s new 911 Speedster, a limited-edition special that pays tribute to the original 356 Speedster. It’s also an open-top follow up to last year’s 911 Sport Classic, a 25th birthday present for Porsche Exclusive (the arm of Porsche that created the Sport Classic and Speedster) and a final hurrah for the current 997-generation 911. More powerful with a ...

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Hmm. A straight set of four stars. Like getting all Bs in your GCSEs. You sure? You’re saying the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a good all-rounder, a Mr Safe-Hands, rather than at the edgy end of party-in-the-pants brilliance? Well, not quite. But read on. Really? The new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet only gets four stars for performance? 0-62mph in ...

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) CAR review

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 03 December 2009 18:00

Is the new Porsche Boxster Spyder the best Boxster you can buy, or the worst? Rather than being a stickers and stripes special edition, or an expensive limited-run like the 911 Sport Classic, the Spyder joins the Boxster range as a third model. And it features some clever weight saving tech that cleaves 80 kilos from the kerbweight – at ...

Porsche Boxster S (2009) CAR review

Porsche Boxster S (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 10 December 2008 09:00

The Porsche Boxster was the car that saved Stuttgart. Near bankruptcy in the early 1990s, Porsche hit upon the idea of creating a cheap sports car, one that would use the front end of the then-new 911 (the 996) to cut costs. Okay, purists might have bemoaned the original Boxster’s dull looks (toned down from the 1993 concept) and the ...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Amongst the seemingly endless combination of body shapes and technology that is the new 911 range, we've just driven an entry-level Carrera 4 soft-top to see if Porsche’s four-wheel drive system, new 3.6-litre motor, manual gearbox and an open body is a good mix. Read on for our full review of the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. What do we have here: a ...

Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder (2008) CAR review

Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 27 March 2008 09:52

Should Porsche dabble with special editions that raid its historical back catalogue? We've just driven the new Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder - the car that takes its name from the Porsche Type 718 RS 60 Spyder, the racer that Hans Herrmann and Olivier Gendebien drove to outright victory in the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring. At £45,400 the RS ...

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2007) CAR review

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 20 June 2007 11:01

So the Turbo Coupe gets the predictable cabrio chop then… Spot on. And at £106,180, this turbocharged, open-top, tech-fest is the flagship of today’s range. The only 911 topping £100k comes with a turbocharged flat six engine producing 480bhp, all-wheel drive, active suspension and every conceivable goodie: DVD navigation, leather comfort seats, Bose sound system. But there’s one crucial thing ...

Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2006) CAR review

Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 September 2006 08:00

A 911 Targa? It’s just a Carrera with a super-size sunroof isn’t it? Pretty much. But it’s been a staple of the 911 range since the first appeared in the mid sixties. Back then it was a solution to the problem of offering a convertible at a time when it looked like roll-over conscious America might ban traditional soft tops. ...
