Porsche 911 Carrera S Powerkit (2007-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Porsche 911 Carrera S Powerkit (2007-)

Price Range: £61,744 to £128,307

Assets

Powerkit's added pace; incredible traction; powerful brakes.

Drawbacks

Powerkit's extra cost pitches the Carrera S head-to-head with sublime Audi R8 and comes off worse.

Verdict

Appealing, if costly; stop-gap until the new direct injection engine range arrives.

Porsche 911 Review

Since the Powerkit upgrades have been developed by the factory, rather than some aftermarket tuner, the modifications will have been extensively tested for durability.

The 911 feels first rate throughout: from the beautifully stitched leather dashboard covering or the flawless paint finish, both materials used and the build feel reassuringly expensive.
