IN just a few weeks Porsche will pull the covers off its new 992-series 911 at the Los Angeles Motor Show, but weve been riding along as the development cars are signed off in San Francisco.

We Ride In Higher-Tech New 911

Every new 911 is significant, but this one takes the rear-engined icon into the future, with new technology, a revised drivetrain and driver aids, all while retaining the sports car’s signature driver appeal and usability.

The shape is obviously familiar – Porsche knows better than to mess with its lines too much – but more of that shapely body will be constructed from aluminium in a bid to maintain the same weight as the outgoing car.
