The great thing about the Porsche 911 is that even the most basic model delivers poise, performance and precision that you don’t need all the frippery to enjoy it properly. Power comes from a 345-hp 3.6-litre flat six-cylinder, or a 385-hp 3.8-litre version in the S models. And while the 911 is normally rear-wheel drive, the Carrera 4 uses a sophisticated all-wheel drive system. Both come with six-speed manuals as standard, but Porsche’s optional seven-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox is optional. Basic cabin is stylish, if a little busy. As with any Porsche, the options list is Pandora’s box: only open if you dare.
