For generations the standard automotive trophy for those who've succeeded financially in life has been the Porsche 911. Whether you want to show that you've arrived, or just enjoy the drive before you
Porsche has great respect for the 911's rich heritage; consequently, the brand favors modest evolutionary updates. Consider the Nissan GT-R or Audi R8 if you appreciate truly advanced design and engin
The Porsche 911 is renowned for stellar steering feel, but the new-generation 911's electro-mechanical steering is less communicative than the previous car's due to some electronic nannies Porsche has added to keep the driver on track. In action the steadier steering and improved stability afforded by the new car's longer wheelbase make the new-generation 2012 Porsche 911 easier to drive, especially at higher speeds. Driven with gusto the newest 911 feels fast, fun and capable, like it's working on the driver's behalf instead of waiting for him

"This is an incredible car. It is my third Porsche and they just keep improving. The 911 Turbo S is just scary fast. It is an amazing engineering feat to be able to put it all together and have an amazing car. The car far exceeds my abilities to maximize on what the vehicle can do but it is sure fun driving it to find out. You will love this car."

"I owned a 2004 911 and loved it. I bought the 911 S Cabriolet and this car is miles ahead of that design. The seven speed manual transition is smooth and the hill hold feature is to die for! The redesign makes the car much more stable and the ride is a lot smoother my previous Porsche."
