911 & Porsche World
Issue 328 - November 2021
The original and best - the world's biggest-selling monthly Porsche magazine
Magazine Extras:
It doesn’t matter what corner of the automotive scene an enthusiast inhabits, the message is the same: the future is all-electric. Porsche is leading the charge (groan) with the hugely successful Taycan and, more frequently than ever before, derelict air-cooled cars are being given a new lease of life with a conversion to battery power. The gorgeous Carrera RS 2.7 evocation on the cover of this magazine is a fine example of how the designs of yesteryear and the technology of today can combine to create a thoroughly stylish and hugely powerful Porsche. Battery power is the way forward, then? Done deal? Not quite. As we discover, hydrogen and synthetic fuels have a lot to offer, especially for the survival of the 911, which Porsche is determined to keep away from EV status. The Stuttgart brand is even working on the development of carbon-neutral fuel intended to work in existing and newly developed combustion engines. Join us as we discover standout EV conversions and new Porsche electric sports car concepts, as well as the latest Taycan tech. PLUS, back in the world of suck, squeeze, bang, blow, we test the new 911 GT3 Touring, look at wastegate technology and highlight what to look out for when on the hunt for a 993.
Issue Summary:
From resurrecting a tired air-cooled classic with modern Tesla power, to the very latest in EV and eFuel tech, we get up close and personal with scene-stealing experimental Porsches.
Top 3 Features:
SILENCE OF THE LAMBDAS - With the prospect of automotive electrification ubiquitous, Porsche EV conversion specialist, 9EV, is serving up seriously reimagined classic 911s. We test the firm's 450bhp Carrera RS 2.7 evocation and look forward to a 650bhp Carrera 3.2 Super Sport.
TOURING TO PERFECTION - The new 911 GT3 Touring might look like a more civilised version of the big-winged 992 GT3, but don’t be fooled into thinking the driving experience is any less awe-inspiring. We deliver our verdict on this amazing Porsche.
FIRE, NO ICE - This 700bhp Tesla-powered 996 Carrera tyre-shredder enjoyed time firing flames on the south coast of China, before finding its way into the possession of Gymkhana GRiD participant, Andy Stevens, in rural England.
