The 911 is a strange creature of evolution, locked into a timeless recipe and yet steadily improved over eight generations.A NEW Porsche 911 rolled into town on Tuesday, and the good news is, nearly everything about it has been revamped.

With 450 horsepower, the new 911 is something of a rocket. The engine has new turbochargers, and it responds with violence if you goad it. As a matter of fact, it goads you; just see if you can resist giving it the beans repeatedly, as much for the characterful chatter from the engine compartment as for the exhilarating acceleration.
Porsche put two versions on sale this week, a Carrera S and Carrera 4S, which comes with all-wheel drive. It's practically impossible to tell the difference between the two, especially since there is a fiendish amount of traction available from the tyres anyway. They cling to the road the way Charlton Heston gripped his favourite rifle.
The cabin is built to a higher standard than before, and the seats offer day-long comfort. The ride is naturally firm and you have to turn up the sound system a bit once you're at triple-digit speeds, but things never feel hectic inside. It's very clear that Porsche intended this to be a car that anyone at any age can lounge in.
