2010 Porsche 911 OverviewSource: CarGurus...More impressive are the aerodynamic enhancements, however, which literally triple downforce at speed - from 66 pounds at 186 mph to an incredible 220 pounds. If that’s not enough to impress – and Porsche enthusiasts are notoriously hard to impress – feel free to upgrade to the GT3 RS. That’ll earn you another 15 hp, a 1.7- and 1.0-inch-wider stance front and rear, a giant carbon-fiber wing, and a weight savings of about 50 pounds. That will come partially from titanium exhaust components and a lithium-ion battery, amongst other measures. The GT3 RS also comes standard with Porsche’s... |

2010 Porsche 911 Turbo — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...The chassis is worthy of all that power, too, providing an easy drive at normal or even fast speeds, and also a safe environment to drive at "stupid fast" speeds when the road allows. But unlike the Nissan GT-R, which feels sure-footed and impossibly capable, the 911 Turbo is interesting, challenging and, most of all, fun to drive. Only the 911 GT3 would be more perfect as a driver's car. –Paul HaggerAll those enthusiasts who said building the Cayenne SUV would water down the Porsche brand need to spend five minutes behind the wheel of this 911 Turbo. This car is pure Porsche —... |

2010 porsche 911 Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Otherwise, the 911 is rear-wheel drive. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on all 911 models, though the Carrera, Cabriolet and Targa have a hill start assist function. Optional on all but the GT3 and GT3 RS is Porsche's seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual known as PDK (a.k.a. Porsche-doppelkupplungsgetriebe -- Porsche double-clutch gearbox). In performance testing, both a Carrera 4S coupe with a manual and a Carrera S Cabriolet with PDK went from zero to 60 mph in an impressively quick 4.2 seconds. A regular Carrera should be just a few tenths behind, and the GT3 models a few... |

2010 Porsche 911 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Better yet, the front fenders slope out and above the hood; you can see them cutting the way ahead of you from the driver's seat. It's just another reminder of what you're driving. When you're sitting inside this vehicle, even if you're just running to the drug store to get a pint of milk, you feel special. There's something subtle about this car that's also blatantly in your face. The dichotomy is yet another rewarding aspect about it. Perhaps it's the S that follows the 911. It strokes your ego like few other vehicles ever could and rewards even the worst driver with obedience and... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2010 Porsche 911's terrific performance and looks are nearly unmatched.
The most powerful Chevrolet Corvette ever, the 638-horsepower ZR1, comes close, but depends on displacement to get there, giving it a heavier, more hair-raising feel.
The Jaguar XKR nearly hits the 911's target with a tremendously sexy profile, a much more lavish interior, and this year, a throaty 510-hp V-8 to help make its case.
Within the VW Group alone, the 911 has the Audi R8 in its rearview mirror; the V-10-powered sports car grips with all-wheel-drive tenacity, looks like nothing else, and drops its lid this year in a new Spyder body style.
