Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2008) CAR review

Adam Towler, 25 September 2008 08:10

Porsche’s 'Targa' moniker has been applied to open-air 911s since the late 1960s, and now with the latest version complementing the recently launched coupe and convertible models, it completes Porsche’s visually subtle but mechanically thorough overhaul of the 911 armada. We now awaited the Turbo and GT variants... So, this Targa's basically a new Porsche 911 with a big sunroof then? Well, ...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Adam Towler, 01 August 2008 09:56

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 911 Carrera 4S PDK (2009) CAR review

Adam Towler, 31 July 2008 11:44

Following last month's meaner and greener 911 in traditional rear-drive form, Porsche has introduced the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 variant in standard and ‘S’ guises. CAR has just driven a Carrera 4S with Porsche’s new ‘PDK’ twin-clutch gearbox, carbon-backed sports bucket seats and the new PASM sports suspended chassis to see if this is the best 911 Carrera yet. With ...

Porsche Cayenne GTS CAR review

Anonymous, 12 November 2007 03:32

Cayenne GTS? What’s that then? It’s a more sports-biased version of Porsche’s SUV supercar that seems to wind up just about everyone with an opinion, yet sells jolly nicely. Porsche also justifies the Cayenne’s existence by reminding us that it funds the cars that we all get in a froth about like the GT3, GT3 RS, and GT2. Indeed during ...

Porsche 911 C2S Powerkit CAR review

Anonymous, 20 September 2007 10:11

So you're saying this is a cut-price GT3? Not exactly, but there is an element of truth to that. The Powerkit is a genuine factory-fitted Porsche tuning package offered only on the Carrera S that lifts power from 350bhp to 376bhp. You can order it on any two- or four-wheel drive Carrera S with the coupé, targa or cabrio bodies. ...

Porsche Cayenne 3.6 V6 CAR review

Anonymous, 27 January 2007 01:33

New Porsche Cayenne: the lowdown Love it or loathe it, the Cayenne has done wonders for Porsche's profitability. Purists can argue all day long that it diluted the brand DNA with all those common VW 4x4 genes - but there's no questioning its commercial success. Now, four years after launch, it's time for a mid-life nip 'n' tuck. Porsche has ...

Porsche 911 GT3 UK CAR review

Anonymous, 13 December 2006 12:00

What's the GT3 for, and hasn't it been around for ages? We first drove the car in our dark pre-website days but thought we'd revisit it now that the first few have rolled off the boat onto UK soil. As for what it's for, it's simply for making you smile more than any other 911 on sale. This is as ...

Porsche 911 Targa 4S CAR review

Anonymous, 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. ...

Porsche Cayman CAR review

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 05:10

Good grief, it's a slightly slower Porsche! What are they thinking? Not everyone can afford the £43,930 for the Cayman S. So here's a Cayman minus the ‘S’ bit and minus a handy £7710. There are sacrifices to be made. The new base model is down 50bhp and 50lb ft of torque over the ‘S’, loses the six-speed gearbox, makes ...

Porsche Cayman S CAR review

Anonymous, 24 July 2006 05:21

Ahh, the Porsche Boxster coupe. Yes, it's been a long time coming but I think Porsche would rather you didn't mention the B word if you don't mind - just in case people start questioning why the Cayman S costs £4k more than a Boxster S. What? I thought coupes were supposed to be cheaper than convertibles, what with having ...
