Motor Trend names the new Porsche 911 Carrera S the best driver's car for 2012 2 Attachment(s) Attachment 113416 Motor Trend names the new Porsche 911 Carrera S the best driver's car for 2012 Motor Trend’s has named the new Porsche 911 Carrera S the best driver's car for 2012. Each contender was run through a battery of dynamic tests, a 500 mile road trip, hard canyon driving and an evaluation at the hands of a professional driver. The new 911 was pitted against some of the world's best like the mighty McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini's Aventador, Mercedes-Benz's AMG C63 Black-Series, Nissan's GT-R, and many more non of us would kick out of the garage. Porsche has got to feel pretty darn good about this one! Follow through to Motor Trend for the full article as its a good one! Source [Motor Trend] Attachment 113417 |
Not surprised. It is a great car, but we all have different wants and needs from a drivers car and it changes as we change. So its very hard to really find a car many of us agree on. Plus Motortrend mag has dwindled in its ability to predict best car awards; remember they gave that award to many clunkers in the past (eg. remake of the ford thunderbird). I usually prefer Car&Driver, Road and Track, or Automobile Mag. |
Amazing.. The little 911 against V8's and V12's.. |

Stoppie is correct, Porsche deserves a lot more awards by competing not only in magazines, in real racing, using a non turbo or supercharged six cilinder engine with half or at least minor displacement |
Porsche, there's no substitute! I can't even imagine how good the GT3/2/turbo will be... It will demolish any exotic! |
Unless I missed it somewhere, it would be nice to know the exact spec of the 991S that was tested. |
I didn't see anything either, but looks like a 991 S PDK with sunroof delete ... and no idea what else. |
911 is a great car . only handicap is the electric steering.. |
No doubt the Aventador for me is one the best cars but can't do everyday. The Porsche is everything. Everyday, weekend car... I think is fair... gotta love the little bugs |
