March 1965: CAR’s first drive of the first-ever Porsche 911

March 1965: CAR’s first drive of the first-ever Porsche 911

Rated 4 out of 54

To mark CAR Magazine's Porsche special in the new March 2012 issue, we've also looked back - to when we first drove the 911 at launch in 1965. This is our first review of the very first 911, taken from our archive and reprinted in full here. If you like your Porsches, don't miss the new magazine. We've ridden in ...

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) CAR review

Either this is the moment you’ve been waiting for since the first 991-spec Porsche 911 prototypes were spotted testing on the road back in 2008, or you should look away now as we drive the first of many iterations of the new generation rear-engined icon. And rear engined it still most obviously is: that silhouette is unmistakable. The sleeker rear ...

There's a special treat for Porschephiles in the new October 2011 issue of CAR Magazine: we've nabbed the first ride in the new 991-spec Porsche 911 - alongside rally ace Walter Rohrl. The new 911 is one of the highlights of 2012, and our European correspondent Georg Kacher spent two days riding shotgun with Rohrl around Alpine passes in the ...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

If you’re one of those people who think that Porsche should have given up on the 911 formula years ago – despite the gazillions of race victories and countless great road iterations that prove you’re wrong – then the GT3 RS 4.0 is just another refinement of a flawed concept. However, for those of us who are in on the ...

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 20 April 2011 09:30

Let’s clear one thing up right now before anyone makes a very incorrect assumption. Despite the presence of that evocative ducktail rear spoiler, retro Fuchs-style wheels and a bile-raising reference in the press material to the 911 Sport Classic being the grandson of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, the two are distant cousins at best. The Carrera RS was ...

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2011 07:00

Let me declare an interest. I have a serious fixation with the Porsche Cayman. Forget your 911s or supercars – the Cayman is what I trot out when I’m often asked what is my dream car. I just struggle to see how I’d want more power, more speed, more handling delicacy – or expense – in my life than the ...

Porsche Cayman R PDK (2011) CAR review

Porsche Cayman R PDK (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

CAR's just driven the new Porsche Cayman R, the third addition to Porsche’s mid-engined coupe range to sit above the Cayman and Cayman S. There’s a whole host of weight-saving measures (some welcome, some not), more power, and a serious set of chassis tweaks. It should be the best Porsche Cayman yet – read on for CAR’s first drive review. What ...

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (2010) CAR review

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 22 December 2010 09:00

This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, not just the most powerful 911 that Porsche has ever built, but also the company's most powerful road car period. It has 611bhp from its twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat six, and for the facelifted 997 911 Porsche hasn’t bothered building a regular GT2 but skipped straight to this RS-spec car. It costs £100k more ...

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (2010) CAR review

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 19 November 2010 17:30

This is the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and it has the potential to be the best all-round 911 yet. An engine upgrade boosts power and torque; it uses the more seductive wide body from the four-wheel drive models; and features a whole host of other options for not much more cash than a standard Carrera S. Yes, we know the ...

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...
