With 473bhp, the GTS aims to offer all the usable power you'd want in an everyday package that's also easier to live with than the flagship Turbo and GT3 models. This is also available with a manual and automatic gearbox, with a 4.1sec 0-62mph sprint time with the former, and a 3.4sec time for the latter. Top speed climbs to 193mph. 

Edition 50 Years Porsche Design

Coupe

Porsche is best known as the quintessential sports car maker, but its line-up is increasingly diverse, interesting and successful, from its SUV family to the Panamera hatchback and shooting brake and, in time, a planned family of electric vehicles.

Whatever your choice, What Car?’s testers rate the cars highly; Porsche has an unusually high percentage of five and four-star cars.

Without exception, its sports cars are class leaders or among the class leaders, standing out for combining driving thrills with surprising luxury and comfort. Likewise, its SUVs are among the sharpest handling, as well as offering high levels of practicality and quality. Meanwhile, the Panamera is a true rival to the very best large executive saloons.

Porsche also sees itself as an electric car pioneer and has already enjoyed sales success with its plug-in hybrid range. Its first all-electric sports car is imminent, signalling the firm’s intent to stay relevant for many years to come.

Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 is a thrilling sports car and one that's remarkably easy to live with. Most will be well served by the entry-level Carrera, but stepping up to the Carrera T is well worth the extra – especially if you’re enticed by the prospect of a manual gearbox. 

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Ride comfort shouldn’t be sacrificed at the altar of handling sharpness</li> <li>Plenty of power from a melodic engine</li> <li>Handling that doesn’t come at the expense of a back-breaking ride​​​​​</li> <li> Practicality is not essential but nice to have </li></ul>

Driving fun is right at the top of any sports car buyer's priority list, and every one of our award candidates has backroad entertainment coded into its DNA.
