The Porsche 911 is a case apart in car manufacturing. Come hell or high water, since 1963 it has defended a technical architecture that many already considered completely obsolete by the end of the 1970s. Thanks to its perseverance, however, the engineers at Zuffenhausen managed to correct its biggest flaws and turn it into one of the best sports cars of the century. At over 40 years old, the 997 generation is no exception and wins over even the last of the critics by presenting us with a 911 in its prime... The fifth generation combines nostalgia and modernity. In terms of performance and technology, it has not changed much compared with the 996, but the bodywork recovers what defined the model’s image, namely the round headlights, and the interior also takes up the dashboard of the original 911, the window edges regain their original place; in short, there is no wish to give up the image of the 911, which the 996 perhaps neglected a little.
