TO THE POINT What’s New? The new, sixth-generation Porsche 911 Turbo is the most powerful 911 to date: it’s the first to go 0-60 in less than four seconds; it’s the first 911 with the next-generation Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive; and it’s the first Porsche that’s actually faster in automatic mode than it is in manual mode.
Selling Points: Besides its mind-blowing performance, this iconic sports car has instant street cred with everyone – from kids to automobile aficionados.
Deal Breakers: If you have no self-control, stay away – a day in this car will either land you in jail or somewhere way off the road.
Our Advice: No one does refinement, speedy thrills and timeless design like Porsche, and the new 911 Turbo does it better than any 911 before. If you want sports car excellence in something you can comfortably drive to work every day, this is your baby.
