2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Review

Just looking at the lines of the all-new Porsche 911, many will snidely remark that little appears new at all. The same basic shape. The same headlamps. Where's the "new" in this new car?
www.autoguide.com/manufacturer...
First, it's important to acknowledge that it's supposed to look similar. In over 100 years of automotive history the 911 might just be the most recognizable and consistently exceptional vehicle ever made. Its design is a thing to be cultivated, not rethought. The Porsche 911 is a brand unto itself.
Drive the latest generation 911, heck, even just sit in it, and the improvements are dramatic. From an all-new Panamera-inspired interior that brings 911 luxury to a new level, to the overall feel of refinement. Sit in the previous generation 997 car, which we did for our video review, and a one year old Porsche with just a few thousand miles on it feels a decade old.

Nice high quality review Colum. I've been on that track, that wall is scary. Love the new 911. The previous generation blue colour is the one I would choose.

Great review!

[@JanMichaelFranklin]

Great review!!

[@Stallion3863]

Great video and awesome car

[@romulus219]

The man. The legend. Love the reviews. Interesting to hear that the GT-R isn't more driveable than the 911. I suppose besting it in interior room, trunk space, etc. will have to do.

Good reveiw. Can't wait for the 2014 GT3 reveiw. All wheel steering:)

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Saw one in the flesh, it looks fantastic.

The reflective strip between the tail lights is one of the unique features of a Carrera 4 since the 996. Hence being featured on the blue 997 Carrera 4 featured in the video. The new 991 Carrera 4 will have the strip. Narrower but the strip returns. BTW, this is the second Canadian review of the 991 I've seen with a more aggressive lower front lip. Is that unique to the Canadian market?

What kind of lap times were you running at cayuga?

[@TheDx917]

I realized it since I watched them for the first time.. its obvious from the way they say "out" or "about" :P

[@troytest]

[@StealthPerformanceMS]

Reflective strip on the rear is still there on the new 911, but only on the Carrera 4 and 4S.
