Porsche 911 Coupe

2dr PDK [2025]

In the world of sports cars, there’s an undisputed king: the Porsche 911. Although it can trace its roots all the way back to the undoubtedly famous but relatively uninspiring Volkswagen Beetle, it has risen to the opposite end of the automotive spectrum.

That’s despite a slightly flawed architecture. Most high-performance cars aim to put the engine between the axles, but the 911 has always had its engine mounted right at the back of the car. It was a setup that made classic models notoriously difficult to handle. But Porsche has refined this unappetising recipe to make the 911 one of the best-handling sports cars you can lease.

The latest model follows suit, but it has all the trappings of modern motoring, including plenty of standard equipment and a ton of 21st-century features. But do those changes ruin a much-loved model, or do they make this one of the most appealing 911s ever built?
