When you go on an off-road trip, a sports car is not the first thing that springs into your mind. What if it comes with an awful lot of off-road hardware and software? The 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar is here, and it may be able to skew your preferences a little.
The Porsche 911 is pegged by many as having the most engaging driving experience. In its rather confusing lineup, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the peak of that experience; now, we have a new one. The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is finally here.
The 911 GT3 for Porsche enthusiasts is the ultimate holy grail of flat-six naturally-aspirated motoring. And since the 992-generation 911 debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Motor Show, the GT3 version was on the cards. It is here now, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, topping off the range with a stratospheric 9,000 rpm redline.
Porsche 911 fans have been waiting 9-years for the firm from Stuttgart to bring back the Speedster. But now, that has come to an end, as Porsche unveiled the 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster at the 2019 New York Auto Show.
Open-topped cars have been an integral part of Porsche’s DNA ever since the first 356 burst onto the scene back in 1948. Porsche ditched fully open cars and went down the Targa route in the early 1960s due to US safety regulations, but the ragtop format was reprised with the debut of the first 911 Cabriolet at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show.
The 2020 Porsche 911 finally showed its face at the 2018 Los Angeles Motor Show in its Carrera S and Carrera 4S guises. Called the 992 generation, this new 911, as usual, comes with only subtle updates to the design, more power, an eight-speed dual clutch transmission, and a host of other updates.
Half a decade into its production, the legendary Porsche 911 is prepared to enter its 8th generation. Codenamed the 992, the new Porsche 911 will be revealed at the beginning of 2019 but before that, the prototype of the 2019 Porsche 911 is going through some rigorous testing to prep it for the most extreme of conditions.
Harking back to the old days when naturally aspirated engines produced raw horses with no help from forced induction trickery, came the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Now for some added performance, Porsche has released a GT3 RS Weissach Edition which slashes some weight off the 520 hp beast.
Sounding the last hurrah for the 996 generation of the Porsche 911, the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes to light as the fastest road-going naturally aspirated Porsche 911 ever. Debuted at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the 2018 GT3 RS is more powerful and lighter than ever before.
Porsche’s 911 range is already a confusing maze for every petrolhead other than the rabid Porsche nuts. Now, a new model called Porsche Carrera T — T for Touring — adds to this complex picture. Following the lines of the 911 R and 911 GT3 Touring models, this new model is a stripped-out base Carrera which believes in the equation of less weight and more speed.
