The 911 Turbo might have more a reputation as a comfortable cruiser than a track car, but the latest 992 Turbo S has a few new assets making it a little sharper than the rest. As Randy Pobst takes it by the scruff of its neck and pitches it through Laguna Seca's corners with noticeable steering correction, this latest iteration of Porsche's …

The Base Model 911 Might Be The One To Buy
Since at least the launch of the 991, I've had the impression that the best Porsche for the average Porsche owner to buy is a base model 911 with sport seats, maybe a nice color paint, and no other options whatsoever. As the 911 becomes more and more competent with each successive generation delivering more power, more grip, and more comfort, it's …

There's one nice thing about English weather: it's fairly dependable. Well, that and the regular rain which creates those verdant moors that fill one's heart with song. More to our purposes, it also points out a vehicle's bad-weather shortcomings. Turns out there are few among these two. On this day, a battle between the 992 Turbo S and its …

After two seconds of this footage, we can rest assured knowing that there's another screaming atmospheric in the upcoming GT range. It retains the barking motor and the urgency it's expected to have, but it's built upon a completely new platform and brings a slew of new additions to keep the intensity growing—something to distract the user from its …

https://youtu.be/wFbUCmu73MQ Harry Metcalfe needs little introduction. Successful farmer, founder of Evo, supercar collector, and an example of someone whose joie de vivre I'd like to emulate when I'm at a ripe old age. The latest addition to his stable: a 992 Turbo S, and as we will see, he thrashes this along some scenic English roads, takes …

Unlike so many cars in its price range, the Porsche 911 4S Targa is first a utilitarian object—and that's meant in the nicest way possible. Blend that unparalleled practicality (for a sports car) with decades of refinement, an ability to punch above its weight, and a feeling of comprehensiveness that not many cars can offer, and you get the unique …

The standout differences between the Corvette and the Carrera, likely the two most economically matched in this lineup, aren't all that standout—they take a little bit of closer inspection. The awkward body language Sport Auto test driver Christian Gebhardt shows in the Chevy, particularly under braking, which suggests there's something less than …

A battle between BTCC's bad boy Jason Plato and ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok again solidifies the simple truth that a garden-variety Porsche can punch well above its weight. Half the price, heavier, less powerful, and arguably less track-oriented, and yet the Porsche 992 Carrera 4S still performs startlingly well against a McLaren 570S around Castle …

The 911 has proven itself to punch above its weight in many settings. Even a car with more comparable weight and a mid-engined layout has fallen prey to the Porsche's drag performance. They say Porsche horsepower count for a little more than standard horsepower—and this varied battle between a 992 Carrera S and the Camaro ZL1—two cars separated by …

For going quickly with minimal effort, there aren't many vehicles better than the latest 911 Turbo. Its massive torque is made manageable with enviable traction, its slippery shape helps it all the way to 205 miles per hour, its power delivery is predictable, and the gearing—among other things—makes it faster than the Taycan Turbo S.
