Porsche 911
There are several sports cars out there who’s name will instantly evoke excitement and thrill in motor fans all over the world. Cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Aston Martin DB9 are tow of these cars but, perhaps the most famous sports car of them all is the Porche 911, one of the most famous names in motoring. The 911 combines the fun drive of a sports car with a reliability that belies its sporty status, becoming a king among cars in its time on the car market. Now in its sixth incarnation, the 996 series, the car has overcome criticism of previous models to achieve possibly its best mix yet of precision engineering and exciting driving.
The latest 911s are certainly powerful cars but lose out to some of their more expensive rivals when it comes to a head to head in this area. If you were thinking of buying a 911 though, do not let this put you off as fantastic aerodynamics, some impressive traction and a light weight mean that the car is incredibly fast even without a massive engine. The acceleration is fantastic and the braking unparalleled in sports cars so in terms of performance, the 911s since 2005 have very few equals, never mind superiors.

The 911 comes in three models, called the Carrera, Carrera S and Turbo and comes in two bodystyles, coupe or cabriolet. The Carrera comes in both front and rear wheel drive so you can choose which ever you prefer but the turbo only comes in a four wheel drive package and considering just how powerful this version of the car is, coupled with the fantastic engineering, its a good job as most would not be able to handle anything but all wheel drive!
The 911 really is a remarkable vehicle, combining a brilliant engine, fantastic driving and comfort that you rarely find in a sports car. There is plenty more information on the range at motors.co.uk if you want to learn more.
