5 Most Driver-Focused Porsches Of The Last Decade - Storyboard

If you've ever wondered about some of the most engaging Porsche's of the past decade, we've got you covered

At 3,042 pounds, the 911 S/T is the lightest Porsche 992

It takes the GT3 Touring and infuses it with some of the GT3 RS goodies, including the engine and some of the aero

The close-ratio six-speed manual always keeps the rev-happy flat-six in the sweet spot

The number isn't chosen by accident, paying homage to the year the original 911 made its debut, 1963

The 992 S/T costs around $100,000 more than the GT3 Touring and is limited to 1963 units

The 992 Sport Classic is the second Porsche 911 to pay tribute to the Carrera 2.7 RS, after the 997 Sport Classic

The 992 Sport Classic will, likely, be the last 911 Turbo-based model, fitted with a manual

Unlike the 997 variant, which was based on the Carrera GTS, the 992 is based on the Turbo, sending power to the rear axle

Production of this nostalgic Porsche 992 was limtied to 1,250 units

With just 2,486 units produced, the Porsche 718 Spyder 4.0 is one of the rarer 718 models

At 3,130 pounds, the mid-engine Spyder 4.0 is lighter than most modern 911s

The Spyder 4.0 sits below the Spyder RS and GT4 RS, but has something the other do not - a manual transmission

Its 4.0-liter flat-six is not the same as the Porsche GT3's. It's based on the 3.0-liter Carrera engine

Porsche wanted to make a 911 that doesn't adhere to most modern reguations. The 911 R is a GT3 Touring, unleashed

The 991 R is the lightest modern Porsche 911 you can buy

The main highlights are the manual transmission, single-mass flywheel, and GT3 RS engine

The Porsche 911 R is the definition of hardcore. Just 991 units exist

The 981 Boxster Spyder is the lightest iteration of Porsche's mid-engine sports car, at under 2,900 pounds

Around 2,000 examples were built and they are all manual
