Porsche 911 Carrera T Cabriolet review: A strange kind of sense Life&Style This is the slowest Porsche 911 on sale. Pull up at the lights next to Gary in his new Golf R and you’ll be outsprinted to 62mph, albeit only by 0.1 seconds. Does that matter? To some people it will. But then any number of electric SUVs can deliver the one-dimensional rush of rapid acceleration. [...]
New Morgan Supersport is here to take on the Porsche 911 Motoring Morgan has affixed a ‘Supersport’ badge to go-faster versions of its existing cars since 1927. However, after 98 years, the Supersport has become a model in its own right, replacing the Plus Six at the top of the Morgan range. With bold design, new technology and even somewhere to put your shopping, Morgan hopes the [...]
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid review: The 911 goes electric February 7, 2025 We knew it was coming and so did Porsche; the current ‘992’ generation of 911 was engineered to accommodate a battery and electric motor from the outset. Even so, this feels like an evolutionary leap: a milestone in the car’s 62-year story so far. In time, will the arrival of a hybrid 911 be seen [...]

Morning has broken over the Ricardo Tormo circuit near Valencia and business is brisk at The 9,000rpm Cafe. The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 launch is underway. The name of Porsche’s pit-garage breakfast bar is [...]
Porsche 911 Carrera 2025 review: Sensible sports car still sparkles January 7, 2025 For 40 years, the entry-level Porsche 911 has been called ‘Carrera’. Back in 1984, a 911 3.2 Carrera developed 231hp, accelerated to 62mph in 5.6 seconds and cost £31,950. For comparison, the new 911 Carrera driven here serves up 394hp, blasts to 62mph in 3.9 seconds and has a list price of £99,800. According to [...]
Porsche 911 Targa by Theon Design review: Bright fantastic November 19, 2024 Back in the 1960s, Automobile Engineer magazine expressed its fear that dark paint colours made cars more dangerous. Shades such as grey and black, it reasoned, could transform a vehicle into a ‘camouflaged weapon’. The respected German car magazine Auto, Motor und Sport held a similar view. It suggested that sports cars should be [...]
New purist Porsche 911 Carrera T goes back to basics November 18, 2024 Want the purest Porsche 911 experience? The new 2025 Carrera T does without all-wheel drive or a towering rear spoiler. Instead, Porsche has gone back to basics, with an ‘emphasis on driving fun’. Most significantly, the PDK dual-clutch automatic gearbox is not available on the Carrera T – even as an option. Every car will [...]
Porsche 911 European RS by Thornley Kelham 2024 review September 2, 2024 Hal Water had always dreamed of designing his perfect Porsche 911. So, when lockdown forced the retired architect to stay at home, he eagerly set to work. The exhaustive, 33-page specification Walter emailed to Thornley Kelham nailed down every detail, from the car’s gear ratios to its wiper and indicator stalks. Now, after 6,000 hours [...]
