For This special edition takes all that's good about the regular 911 and gives it a unique look, with black paintwork, 19-inch alloys and black leather upholstery. Sat-nav is fitted as standard.
Against Metallic black paint is only an option, while this model is strictly limited to 1911 models worldwide.
As with so many special editions such as this, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like the looks, you'll pay the price.
If you’ve got your heart set on a Porsche 911, then congratulations, you’ll be making a brilliant choice. Your options aren’t over just yet, though.
There are a number of different versions that range from fast to very, very furious. The base models have a 341bhp 3.6-litre engine, while S has a 380bhp 3.8 and GTS a 402bhp 3.8. If you want something even more hardcore, there’s always the 429bhp GT3, the 493bhp Turbo, or the 523bhp GT2.
Some of these cars also come with a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive, so that’s another thing to mull over. You can also choose a Targa version, which has a large sunroof that slides back to expose you to the elements almost as much as the cabriolet, but without the cabrio’s wobblier body and mushier suspension.
Whichever 911 you pick, you won’t be disappointed because they’re all fantastic. However, we reckon that the GTS strikes the best balance between performance and everyday usability.
