Saying that you drive a 911 is just about as vague as saying you own a Chevrolet. Porsche currently sells 24 different variations of the iconic rear-engine sports car, and that doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the list of race car variants. The 911 is an almost 55-year-old icon for a reason. But with so many to choose from, it's easy to lose track of what is available. For clarity, here is a broken-down list of all the different 911s sold today. Here, we have the 911 divided into five model series with similar qualities and attributes, which, for this sake, we'll call "lines." There's the Carrera, Targa, GTS, Turbo, and GT lines. The Carrera model line is the largest and least expensive group, with nine variants. Two engine outputs--370 and 420 hp--are available, both coming from a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six. 125,350 for the all-wheel-drive 4S Cabriolet. Carrera, and if you drive by a Porsche dealer, these are the cars you'll see on the lot.
Porsche reintroduced the Targa in 2015 and currently sells three different models, based on engine output, which range from 370 to 450 hp and 405 lb-ft torque. 140,950 for a Targa 4 GTS. GTS comes next in the range, denoting that these 911s carry the same 3.0-liter turbocharged motor with output bumped up to 450 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. Most Porsches are turbocharged now, but fewer actually wear the Turbo moniker. The ones that do boast a boosted 3.8-liter engine making 540 hp, 580 with the Turbo S models. 276,550 price tag. Porsche is only building 500 of those. All Turbo models are all-wheel drive. Finally, the three GT models: the privileged track rat toys. The GT3 and GT3 RS are the only two offered with non-turbocharged engines; instead a 4.0-liter flat-six spins up to 9,000rpm and makes 500 hp in the GT3 and 520 in the GT3 RS. Because these are racetrack-focused, only the rear wheels are driven. If you have over a quarter million dollars to spend, the GT2 RS reigns supreme for power (700 hp from the 3.8-liter), lap time (6 minutes 47.3 seconds), and superiority arguments at the bar. So, there you have it. The 24 Porsche variants that are available for sale right now. If your income is among the top 1% of earners, there鈥檚 almost certainly a Porsche for you.
Fitted to all but the entry 148bhp front-wheel-drive diesel, they use energy recouped during braking to reduce load on the engine under acceleration, while letting the engine cut out from deceleration below 11mph and give near-instantaneous restarts as needed. The combustion portion of those hybrids is made up of three diesel and two petrol motors, all of which are 2.0-litre four-cylinder 鈥業ngenium鈥?engines. The range starts with the 148bhp diesel, which claims 47.8mpg on the WLTP test, and peaks with the 250bhp petrol unit which can cover 0-62mph in 7.1 seconds, according to Land Rover. Gearbox choices include a six-speed manual and an updated nine-speed auto. The latest Discovery Sport will be packed with tech, much of which made its debut in the new Evoque. At the flick of a switch, the conventional rear-view mirror turns into a digital display relaying images from a rear-facing camera mounted on the roof, giving a wide-angle, unobstructed view behind.
Likewise, the ClearSight ground-view tech was first seen on the Evoque. This lets the driver 鈥榣ook through鈥?the bonnet and see the position of the wheels relative to off-road obstacles or, more likely, city-centre kerbs. ClearSight is displayed on Land Rover鈥檚 latest Touch Pro infotainment system, which sits within a redesigned cabin. While the chunky look remains familiar, it鈥檚 brought up to date with a 10.25-inch touchscreen that sits flush within the dash, a mix of physical and touch-sensitive climate controls, and a 12.3-inch digital driver鈥檚 display. The inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto benefits those using smartphones, as do 4G WiFi connectivity and wireless charging. A reversing camera comes as standard, along with extra safety tech like lane-keep assist and autonomous emergency braking. The new Discovery Sport is available to order now, with prices starting from 拢31,575. Do you like the look of the facelifted Land Rover Discovery Sport?
