Porsche 911
October 1, 2004
“A timeless sports car that has successfully met the ever-increasing needs of drivers while showcasing the latest developments in Porsche technology, the 911 has emerged as a true icon of automotive design since its debut in 1963.”

The sixth-generation 911 takes another step in what seems like a story with no end. And even though you could mistake the new 911 for the previous model at a glance, every body panel is new apart from the roof. The biggest clue to the new car is in the separate round headlights, which hark back to 911s of old and further distinguish the 911 from its Boxster sibling. The 2004 model has two engines on offer, a 3.6-litre flat-six with 325bhp for the regular Carrera, or a hotter 3.8-litre 355bhp engine for the Carrera S.
One of the best driving experiences available at any price just got better. All of the familiar and unique 911 cues are still abundantly present, from the gruff, thrashy rumble of that fabulous engine, to the gentle porpoising action of the car as it transits undulating surfaces, to the steering, which is just about unparalleled for feel, weight and feedback.
