How do you tell this new Porsche from the old one? By far the easiest way is to get a good look at the rear. Unlike the tight and compact back of the earlier 997, the 911 is wider and fuller looking. The most obvious detail is the word ‘Porsche', spelt out in large chrome letters across the back — a throwback to the original 911 from the early 1960s. This new 911 also has a significantly more raked front windscreen, the headlights have been moved out to give it a wider-looking nose, and the longer wheelbase and wider front track give it a more planted stance. Otherwise, it has all the iconic 911 design cues.
Ingress is almost as comfortable as a luxury saloon, the typically Porsche cabin feels better built than many other luxury cars, and the driver's seat seems to have exactly the right blend of support and cushioning. This is a car you can use every day and not feel any worse for wear. The 911 is a sportscar but it doesn't trade comfort for any of the performance.
