Total 911 verdict

If you consider the use of water to cool a 911 to be sacrilegious then the addition of twin turbochargers to the recipe is hardly likely to change your mind. That would be a shame, though, as there is an awful lot to like here. For one thing it’s blisteringly quick, and thanks to four-wheel drive it’s the sort of performance that you can exploit on a daily basis – threat to your licence permitting. It also steers and handles with aplomb, abilities that are enjoyed from a richly appointed cabin. Combine all of that with a gently ascending value curve, and you’re left with a very desirable Neunelfer.
