The Porsche Panamera GTS makes all the right noises, feels almost as fast as a Panamera Turbo and is kitted out accordingly. If your budget does not stretch to the Turbo S, this is the Panamera to have. But beware - there is major facelift coming in spring 2013. Porsche Panamera GTS: the background Like the Mk1 Cayenne, the Panamera ...

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 ...
Watch Jethro Bovingdon's video review of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0. It's a fitting swansong to the current, 997 family of 911s - one final blast before the new 991 arrives at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. The RS 4.0 costs £128,466 and Porsche will build just 600 of them (they're already sold out, sadly). That's a lot ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is Porsche's new 911 GT3 RS, a harder and faster version of the already hard and fast GT3. Traditionally it's the best Porsche 911 variant - the GT2 is often too extreme and the turbo'd engine lacks aural delight - so what's the new one like? Read on for CAR's first drive review. So it’s a Porsche 911 GT3 that’s ...

It’s a numbers game with the new Porsche 911 Turbo S. For an extra £17,309 (or £17,324 in you opt for the convertible) you get an extra 30bhp, 37lb ft and lots of standard items that would otherwise be extra on the ‘regular’ 493bhp Turbo. S stands for Sport and Porsche’s marketing team would have you believe this new S ...

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 ...

This is the facelifted Porsche 911 Turbo, and it incorporates most of the tweaks made to the regular 911 18 months ago, including the seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox. Are you sure this new Porsche 911 Turbo is new? It looks the same to me... This is a 911 we’re talking about – styling tweaks are always going to be subtle. But if ...
