Fabulous driver's car, practical and easy to use supercar, best looking modern 911 yet.
Gently evolutionary styling makes it look a bit too much like the older model. That's about it.
Just when you think they can't make the 911 better, they do. The advance isn't huge, but the previous car wasn't exactly lacking.
The first line of Porsche's active safety are its outstanding dynamics, which give the driver the ability to avoid the accident in the first place. Add to this the Porsche Stability Management system, which helps rein things in when the system detects one or other end of the car sliding off the cornering line. And then there are the brakes (ABS equipped, of course), which are just sensational in their ability to bring the 911 quickly down from colossal speed. For those who feel they need something extra in this department, Porsche offers ceramic composite items, which give even more stopping power for those owners taking to the track.
The 911's passive safety system uses six airbags, with the two-stage 'bags for the driver and passenger, as well as a thorax bag on the outer side of the front seat armrests and an innovative head airbag that protects occupants from debris in the car or from hitting the car's windows.
An alarm and immobiliser are standard-fit.
