A few years ago, we discussed the idea of a GT3 Cabriolet (below). Some of us thought it was a great idea, and others not so much. It took almost five years, but Porsche finally built something that is basically the 991 GT3 Cabriolet that we asked for, but better. Consider the 991.2 Speedster a send off for the chassis.

Inconspicuous Dragster: The New Carrera 4S Can Run with Supercars
It's often said that Porsche horsepower is a little more potent than other marques' horsepower. Perhaps having the motor so close to the driven wheels minimizes drivetrain losses, or maybe there's simply a bit of magic at work between the broad haunches of a Porsche.

In addition to being Porsche's most famous brand ambassador, Mark Webber is a genuinely warm-hearted bloke.

The 991 Carrera T is, in a way, the anti-Porsche, or perhaps recalls the Porsche that Porsche used to be. As the company's sports car line continually focuses on quicker lap times at the expense of driver engagement, and the company's non-sports cars become ever more the focus of the sales floor, the Carrera T is anti-thematic for the brand in a …

Well, vicarious experience is the second-best solution here, and thanks to a classic soundtrack, a beautiful 911, some …
