Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 21 November 2011 09:23

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 ...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jethro Bovingdon, 01 July 2011 09:42

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 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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2011 13:00

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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

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 911 GT3 RS (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 28 May 2010 11:45

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 ...

Porsche 911 Turbo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher (photography by Paul Barshon), 13 October 2009 14:00

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 ...

Porsche 911 GT3 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 23 April 2009 10:00

Back in our January 2007 issue, CAR Magazine named the then-current 911 GT3 as the best Porsche ever. So you could say its updated successor has quite some act to follow. Priced at £81,914 (up from its predecessor’s £79,540), it goes on UK sale in autumn 2009. This new Porsche 911 GT3 looks like the old GT3 to me Yes, ...

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 ...
