DIALLING 911

The latest and best from Stuttgart, on a Formulal-grade circuit, is what the Porsche World Road Show 2025 was all about

- WORDS ABHAY VERMA

For decades, Porsche's engineers have been turning grown-up men back into boys with their evocative, irresistibly engineered sportscars. The 911, often regarded as the best sportscar in the world, has always been the piece-de-resistance, but has never been the only Porsche to make us go weak in the knees. And to get a chance to drive Porsche's entire line-up together, at the Buddh International Circuit, is a day petrolheads would give an arm and a leg for. But that’s exactly what the Porsche World Road Show is all about. And the 2025 edition of the PWRS, as Porsche likes to call it, was extra-special.

We were split into batches at the start of the day, and the driving experiences were split into four different ones. Obviously, I was looking forward to driving on track, as that would give me an opportunity to lap the Buddh International Circuit in cars like the new, 992.2 generation 911 GTS T-Hybrid, the 911 Carrera and of course, the 911 GT3 RS! We were rushed into one of the pit garages for a quick briefing, though turned out, we were to drive the Macan EV and updated Taycan on track first.
