Handling is devoid of any of the characteristics of the Porsche 911s of old. It rides smoothly and more softly than you might expect. Its an easy car to live with on a daily basis, easier than a Boxster.

Why pay the $300,000 premium for the convertible rather than spend it on, say, a perfectly good Ferrari 599 or a trio Porsche 911s? Two words: aural fixation.

Put the Sebring road course together with M3s, Porsche 911s and S4s, and it's a perfect day for any fan of German engineering.

30 years ago, Porsche 911s were delivered with tires sized exactly like those on the Mazda 2.

It's the same way I feel about Porsche 911s. Seriously, what's the point? OK, you might be able to cram someone back there for a short emergency trip, but I'd rather just jettison the weight.

And though it's a German firm, Max somehow manages to be more stereotypically English than the Queen and spent time in our public school system. While his countrymen were dreaming of Porsche 911s, therefore, ...

The GT2 XKR will start testing this June, and Gentilozzi says he expects it to compete in its first race this July. Sadly that's too late for this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, but could we see the Jag duking it out with the F430s and Porsche 911s down ...
