Porsche 911 pictures

The new Porsche 911 is the result of half a century of design heritage.

The new model has a much improved interior.

No one could call the 911 truly practical but the boot is big enough for a few soft bags.

The Porsche 911's engine range goes from a 3.4-litre with 345bhp to a 3.8-litre with 552bhp.

The optional PDK paddle shift gearbox is excellent, and most cars will be specced with it.

The car has incredible mid-corner stability.

Launch control helps launch the 911 Turbo S from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds.

Tested here in Carrera 4 GTS guise, this 911 costs £99,374. With all the bits added to our car, it comes in at £114,005.

The Carrera 4 GTS is powered by a 3.8-litre flat 6cyl, producing 424bhp. 

The cabin doesn't have the wow factor of that of the Mercedes-AMG GT, but it's easy to use. 

Optional sports seats cost £2,505 and are tricky to get in and out of because of their fixed position and high sides. 

The rear seats are are only really for kids, but the area doubles as extra storage. 

A touchscreen system controls audio and sat nav. 

Full-power upshifts are seamless with the PDK transmission. 

Today's 991-generation 911 is one of the most involving cars to drive in the 911's history. 

Smoked headlights also part of GTS pack. 

Matt-black 20-inch centre-lock wheels are part of the GTS upgrade. 

Deep storage bin in the nose is just one of the places you can keep things in the 911. 

Wing rises when you reach speeds of 80mph to improve high-speed stability - or you can raise it by pressing a button on the dashboard. 

There are so many different 911 variants on sale now, you need to be a diehard to know the differences. 

Bulging wheelarches, curving window line and louvred rear engine cover pay homage to its ancestors. 

Bulging wheelarches and 20-inch wheels, plus yellow paint, mark out the GTS from regular 911s, but only hardcore Porsche fans will notice the differences.
