Verdict
So the Porsche 911 continues to live and breathe. And how. At the beginning of the decade Porsche was in such a state that the future of this most endearing of motor cars was seriously in doubt. It is now safe.You could be forgiven for thinking of the 911 as the finest sports car in the world right now, only it has such broad appeal that it isn’t strictly a sports car any more. Porsche tried to replace the 911 with a GT car in the’70s. Now it has succeeded. Perhaps it should have changed the name, after all.
