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 do, the 2012 Porsche 911 remains a compelling sports car choice.
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 engineering, or the familiar handling characteristics that come when an engine is placed in front of the rear axle.
