| PERFORMANCE RATING: |
 |
Never has a 'standard' 911 been so fast, and its performance so accessible.

The 'VarioCam Plus' variable valve timing and lift gives a little surge of power just below 3000 rpm and a bigger one, accompanied by an enthusiastic exhaust blare, at 5500 rpm which continues right up to the soft rev-limiter at 7200 rpm. Top speed is a breathtaking 177 mph.
