The new 8th Generation 911 (known as the 992) lauches in 2019, marking almost six decades of this ubiquitous sports car.
With it's turbo-charged 3 litre flat 6 now producing 444bhp, the base Carrera S hits 60mph in an impressive 3.5 seconds (with the optional Sport Chrono package) maxing out at 191mph. There's also an extra gear over the 991, now with an 8-speed PDK transmission.
Handling is excellent as ever, with the added advantage over it's peers of being a true real world daily driver.
Visually, only a marque expert could tell the differences to the previous generation, but for the first time the rear wheels are larger than the front, at a huge 21 inches.
The Carrera is brilliant and practical, but perhaps not as thrilling (especially in the looks department) as some of its rivals. With the entry level Carrera 4S now hovering perilously close to the £100k mark, whether this still represents good value for money is not as clear as it once was.
