Porsche 911 Review

Comfort and Equipment4 out of 5

Spending £63,070 might sound like a huge amount of money to plough into a car, but against the Porsche's competition, the fractionally quicker Audi R8, it undercuts the opposition by as much as £13,000. However, tick a few option boxes and expect the difference to shrink rapidly, with £10,000 added in only a matter of must-have options.

The new double-clutch PDK gearbox is a £2,338 option; the Sports Chrono Plus, with launch control, adds £729; a rear wiper is £229; and sports seats are £1,680).
