It’s hard to think that it is more than 40 years since the first 911 arrived. Within the intervening years it’s continued to grow in both size and stature, and also at the same time has turned into a less of handful they are driving than used to be the case.

Today the vehicle is available having a range of flat six engines which go from a relatively modest 320PS to 420PS – with yet more capacity to come once the 911 Turbo S arrives late in 2004.

Buyers possess a bewildering selection of drivelines, with rear or four wheel drive, but what you choose they obtain the fundaments of 911 ownership – handling sharp enough to shave with, and acceleration to fulfill even the most devout petrol-head. Essentially the ultimate driving experience.
