It’s what they are built for! Road test of a Porsche 911 2.7 S coupe.

The Porsche 911 Targa. To Targa or not?

The Porsche 911 Targa. To Targa or not?

Porsche 911 seem to invoke strong opinions wherever you are. None more so that asking  your mates in the pub. Everyone knows ‘they go through hedges backwards’, ‘ a 911 must be red’, ’it’s got to be manual’, ‘they must be coupe’. [...]
