Porsche 911 fanatics are a passionate and loyal lot, prone to strong opinions about the wonderous sportscars that have been in production since 1963. In the eyes of the engineers, each new model is a zeitgeist moment in some way or another. In the minds of purists, any evolution – whether it be water-cooling, turbocharging … or dare we say it, electrification in the future – is inevitably heralded as the change from which the 911 will never recover. If it’s hysterical, it’s historical, as the saying goes.
