PORSCHE 992 CARRERA S PUSHING HARD ON THE NÜRBURGRING

This is the eighth generation of the Porsche 911, which first went on sale back in 1963.

It’s all-new, built to be easier to live with and – more importantly – to be even quicker than the car it replaces. The latest evolution of the company’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six engine has that particular requirement covered.

Revised turbos and a host of other revisions mean the Carrera S – the only 911 available from launch – now produces 450hp (30hp up on the old model). It’ll get from 0-60mph in just 3.2 seconds and crack 190mph, while it’s wide powerband means you always have oomph when you need it.

The way the Porsche 911 deals with corners is as impressive as its performance in a straight line. The powerful brakes give you bags of confidence to barrel into bends, cornering grip in the dry is almost infinite and, even when it does eventually run out, you get fair warning because the steering feels hard-wired to the front tyres.

But the 911 is just as good at rolling up its sleeves and getting to work on the dirty business that is normal driving. On the motorway it’s a quiet cruiser, has plenty of standard safety kit and is available with autonomous driving aids that pretty much do your job for you.

The excellent forward visibility that helps you place the 911 perfectly in bends pays dividends in town when you’re inching through width restrictors. It’s even a piece of cake to park thanks to the large back window and standard high-definition rear-view camera. It’s this all-round ability that marks the Porsche out from uncompromising sports cars from the likes of Ferrari.
