Porsche 911 overview

2010 Porsche 911 Review
Porsche purists still consider the Porsche 911 the only "real" Porsche.
The Porsche 911 received a refresh for 2009. Porsche upgraded the engines, introduced a new dual-clutch automated manual transmission (known as PDK), improved the electronics interface and added a slew of new features, including a hill holder, ventilated seats, Bluetooth and an iPod interface. There are multiple models available for the current Porsche 911. The high-performance 911 editions are less commuter-friendly, but they offer performance and handling on par with exotic supercars.

The all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S arrived for '06, while the Targa, GT3, Turbo and limited-edition GT3 RS followed the next year. The GT2 emerged for '08.
The previous (ninth) generation Porsche 911 (1999-2004) marked the first time water cooling was used for the car's flat-six engine. This era also brought a glass-topped targa model and saw the Turbo put out 400 hp and adopt all-wheel drive. The seventh-generation car (1990-'94) brought smoothly integrated bumpers along with available all-wheel drive and the Tiptronic automatic gearbox. Standard Carreras at this time were pumping out 247 hp, while the Turbo's output ranged from 315-355 hp.
