2010 Porsche 911

The 2010 Porsche 911 has a lot of things going for it. It has blazing speed, and this is plus or minus the Turbo. It has neutral and brilliant handling. It continues to look legendary. It can be used every day, even the Cabriolet can do this. A few factors going against it would be the mindboggling ergonomic choices, the almost absent back seats, the limited space in the boot. Some say it is too fast, but this could hardly be called a fault.
The Porsche 911 has been the base model for all sports cars, thanks to its iconic teardrop shape and classic handling. The Porsche 911 of 2010 has raised its own standards by introducing a new turbo model, which again speaks of faultless handling and boxer packed power. The Cabriolet, Coupe and Targa styles also enable the 911 to outshine itself. The Porsche has a range of Turbo and non Turbo flat 6 engines. The transmissions may be manual or dual clutch, the drive may be all wheel drive or rear wheel drive. The price range varies from $79,000 for the Coupe to $ 145,000 for the Turbo Cabriolet without options. The 2010 Porsche 911 continues to be a one of its kind, just like the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the Jaguar XKR or even the Ferrari California.
The Porsche 911 is truly unique, and has remained so since 40 years and more. It does not change with time, and rolls on rather like the Mustang, with just a little refining of its classical shape every ear. The Turbo model goes in for more width and is quite low, but otherwise, all Porsche 911s are squat and teardrop-like, the fenders on the front are a frame to a small and narrow straight view of the road that runs in front. This year has seen the addition of new mirrors, exhausts, LED tail lights, exhausts and Turbos have access to air all over, an addition of automatic rear spoiler, and yet it retains its unique look of forty plus years, that makes it so recognisable. The dashboard has added modern amenities like an LCD screen, but the look is still stark and the ignition continues to stay at the left of the steering wheel. However, the Valrhona brown leather trim makes it look really good on the inside. The big and clear gauges enable you to read the engine speed clearly and correctly, as it is right in front of your eyes.
