Is This The Next Best Thing To A Porsche 911 Turbo S?
Offering more practicality, a V8-soundtrack and the ability to drive on electric power alone, here's how this 2+2 luxury sports coupe gives the 911 Turbo S a run for its money
Since its inception back in 1964, the Porsche 911 has been going against the status quo. For over six decades, Porsche engineers have perfected the formula of putting the engine in the rear – a highly uncommon design decision among modern-day automakers. But back when the 911 was still a young name, the company wasn’t sure the rear-engine formula would work long-term. At one point, Porsche even considered replacing the 911 with the V8-powered 928, but that never happened. Porsche’s decision to keep the rear-engine 911 around, paid off as continues to deliver truly unique driving characteristics, for which the car is still praised today.
