Porsche 911 Turbo

£107,956 - £118,183

Massively fast, massively competent and massively makes you look like someone who was just a bit too scared to buy a GT3. The answer? Buy a GT3.

For the majority of us, the quickest 911 in the world thanks to its brilliant four-wheel drive system. Lacks of a bit of dynamic Porsche purity, though…

Comfort

Surprisingly calm and placid for something that’ll keep pace with a GT2. The dampers absorb all but the worst road ruts, and there’s almost no kickback from the steering.

Handling

By objective standards, the Turbo is simply superb – good steering, progressive brakes, predictable manners even when you’re really chucking the back end out. But, alongside the awesome GT3, it just feels a fraction disconnected. We’re being picky, mind.

erformance

How does 3.9 seconds to 60mph and a top speed just shy of 200mph sound to you? The only way you’ll go quicker in a Porsche is in the GT2, and even then you’ll need testicles of titanium. The Turbo is a far more manageable beast.
