Come to think of it, that car resembled the previous version, which arrived in 1998 and looked a lot like the mid-90s edition before it.

The 911 remains a performance benchmark, and thanks to some overdue changes inside, it’s more of an everyday driver than ever before. #2008 PORSCHE C4S SPORT CHRONO PLUS HP DRIVER#

Don’t take that to mean it’s well-suited for the daily grind, though this car was meant for the racetrack, so if you’re cross-shopping a similarly priced BMW 6 Series or Mercedes SL, you might find that, well, Porsche serves its coffee black.Īs before, the Porsche 911 comes in a number of variants, which you can compare to the ’08 model here. There are the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S, the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S, and convertible versions of each. Then there are the all-wheel-drive, glass-roofed Targa 4 and Targa 4S coupes. The 911 Turbo continues unchanged for 2009 for right now, at least, Porsche says the GT2 and GT3 come only as ’08s. I drove a number of Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S variants in coupe and convertible body styles at Salt Lake City’s Miller Motorsports Park and the surrounding mountain roads. Really, this job is harder than it sounds. The Porsche 911 has maintained its same essential look for several generations, something the automaker says its customers appreciate. Clearly, those customers are an unassuming bunch: I turned more heads during a recent drive in the sveltely styled Cayman S than I did in the much pricier 911s I drove all day. Visual changes for 2009 require a close eye to notice check the comparison photos on the right to see them. If you’ve never seen a Porsche 911 up close, the first thing you’ll notice is how small it is. Other $80,000 coupes employ long doors and sweeping rooflines, but the 911 looks tight from the get-go. At 175.8 inches bumper to bumper, it’s about the same length as a two-door Honda Civic. The SL and Nissan GT-R measure a few inches longer, while the 6 Series and Jaguar XK are more than a foot longer.īi-xenon headlights are now standard, with adaptive swiveling headlights optional. #2008 PORSCHE C4S SPORT CHRONO PLUS HP SERIES# Wheel choices include standard 18-inch alloys on the Carrera and Carrera 4 coupe and convertible (cabriolet), as well as the Targa 4 coupe. Nineteen-inchers are optional for these models, but they’re standard on all other 911 models. So are quad exhaust pipes, which replace the dual pipes on the base models. The Turbo, GT2 and GT3 have unique bodywork. Slung behind the rear axle in every 911 is a horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine displacing 3.6 or 3.8 liters. Even the base 3.6-liter engine in the Carrera feels seriously quick, reaching the tach’s 7,500-rpm redline with fiercer immediacy than V-8 cars in the same price range - all the while belting out a mid-pitched whoosh that Porsche might as well trademark. Models with an “S” designation - the Carrera S and Carrera 4S coupes and convertibles, as well as the Targa 4S coupe - get the 3.8-liter version, whose extra midrange torque comes in handy to push you through a turn on winding roads or track corners. Unless you’re driving hard, however, the differences between the two aren’t easily apparent. Porsche says both engines are completely new this year. Their displacements round to the same figures as last year’s 3.6- and 3.8-liter sixes, but bore and stroke measurements are slightly different.
