The greatest Porsches |
|
It’s the sixtieth anniversary of Porsche – a sports car maker close to the hearts of any car enthusiast. It’s a birthday CAR couldn’t let go unmarked, so our finest brains have filled a 63-page package celebrating the highs and lows of the past six decades.
We’ve driven the landmark Porsches, spent a day with Derek Bell to name the greatest track cars, interviewed the eponymous family chairman and investigated the cars, people, places and racers that made Porsche great.
Elsewhere, we ask what exactly BMW was thinking when it launched the X6, we drive the new Ford Kuga and Audi R8 TDI, and find out if the Morgan Lifecar is the answer to the looming eco crisis.
PLUS: New-look Bulletin. More news, more insight!
