Porsches have always been special cars. When this new 992 generation of the iconic 911 came out it wasn’t totally my cup of tea. It was too modern, too wide and too different from the smaller Porsches of the past. Porsche knows this Porschephile syndrome 911 enthusiasts suffer from, and that forms a key part of the car’s design. So, like in these sixty years, they have only tweaked the essential bits. The wheel arches and fenders are much more pronounced. The air dams are a lot bigger now and mimicking that is the rear bumper with a wider valance in black that houses the now bigger exhausts.
