THE 911 IS Porsche’s most famous model and after more than a half-century it still outshines most of its rivals. Only now, this model is more powerful and more efficient making it the perfect, everyday dream car.
Outside:
Look at it! Just look at it. Take a moment to appreciate its iconic and enduring shape.
Those familiar headlights now feature Porsche’s signature four-point LED daytime driving lights. Those front air intakes are home to active vanes that open and close to improve efficiency.
The ever-so-attractive two-door coupé shape slopes elegantly to the rear, which has low down air vents behind the wheels allowing hot air to escape from the intercoolers and the engine deck lid has a vertical grille that directs air into the engine and intercoolers and there is a twin sports exhaust system with mid-mounted tailpipes. It’s just gorgeous to look at from all angles.
Inside:
The cabin is smart, tidy and user-friendly as well as being roomy and sturdy and luxurious, too. There are a lot of buttons on the centre console, which responds to finger gestures and taps, the steering wheel feels great and the heated, electronic, 14-way adjustable sports seats are comfy yet supportive.
The rear seats drop-down to provide some luggage space and there is a surprisingly good sized cargo well under the bonnet, although you probably won’t fit your weekly shopping in there.
Under the hood:
The engine sounds splendid and has a wonderful crescendo that builds right up to the top of the rev range and with that sports exhaust it pops and crackles on the overrun, adding a lovely texture to the sound and giddiness to the lucky driver.
Compared to the 1960s original, today’s 911 retains a “flat” six-cylinder engine, positioned behind the rear axle, only this 911 is now turbocharged, the results of which is a quiet and refined car which is great for everyday use, so no need to hide this baby away in a garage.
And the reason for adopting turbocharging in the first place? To improve efficiency and meet various European regulations and requirements and now the 911 has a claimed 12 per cent improvement in efficiency, with a combined economy figure of 7.7 litres/100km (36.7mpg) with emissions of just 174g/km.
The 3.0-litre flat-six turbocharged petrol engine is mated to a seven-speed PDK transmission and produces 420hp at 6,500rpm and the 500Nm of max torque peaks at just 1700rpm making the car drivable from the get-go, with lots of acceleration to hand.
Speaking of which, this car can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds or 3.9 seconds in Sports Plus mode and has a top speed of 306km/h (190mph). You’ll never be late for the school run again.
This dream car also holds the title of World Performance Car of the year. And you too can own this award winning dream car; just take a trip down to the Porsche Centre Dublin, take the car for a test drive and hand over €181,149 of your dream money.

Trump sure talks up a big brave game at home, but when he travels overseas he simply folds in the face of every foreign leader he has met, lost in a gushing flood of flattery and sycophancy.
Perhaps he doesn’t realise that his chest-beating Twitter stream and broadcasts of his townhall diatribes to rouse his rabble are also available outside of the US?
Judge a man by the company he keeps.
Trump has no moral reservation about trying to ingratiate himself with anyone, even an admitted murderer such as Duterte.
A leader without moral scruples, without a sense of right and wrong, enjoys a freedom that a more moral President or head of states would not have.
@Fiona deFreyne: there was a single by super furry animals back in the day called “the man don’t give a fcuk”. I’m pretty sure it could sum up these guys..
@Fiona deFreyne: why is Justin there then?
Trump and Duterte make an interesting and highly compatible pair.
@Fiona deFreyne: In your liberal dreams.
@Daniel Donovan: I would not be at all surprised Trump is getting lessons from Duterte on how to liquidate his opponents.
Trump’s Great Achievement is How He Has Exposed the Other American Politicians as Absolutely Useless .
How bad are you ( the politicians )that the Voters have to turn to Donald Trump
@Pl O’neill: would you also say that needing to have seismic amounts of finance to get to be president precludes some really talented people also no?
@Chris Finn: it’s not just money. It didn’t work for Ross Perot
I will have to change his tablets ‘ the ones he is on is doing nothing for him
The drugs trade IS mass murder that destroys all normal ethics.
@Tom Newnewman: it should not cause the setting aside of the rule of law. That is the way to authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
States have an obligation to act morally and not to descend to the level of homicidal criminality.
@neilo: but Tom Newnewman might be guilty and so it is okay just in case he might be guilty.
@Fiona deFreyne: Not to mention, the global war on drugs is futile anyway and the only realistic option open to any country that really wants to serve the interest of its citizens is to provide clean and safe drugs of all kinds to their populace and simply inform them of the risks involved with graphic warnings on packaging. The world will adapt. Changes will be huge and somewhat unpredictable at first but the world will adapt and will be better off when the illegal drugs trade no longer exists or is reduced to an equivalent of the counterfeit smokes market.
He’s the man fit for the job as Pres of the Philippines, RODRIGO R. DUTERTE, end of.
Let’s all play ring a ring a rosy.
HA HA HA UNBELIEVABLE IF TRUE
If they all had of pulled together they could have ripped his arms
What’s he doing at an asean conference.
@Paul Coughlan: Getting rolled by “Jina!”.
