Magazine Extras:
One of the things separating 911 & Porsche World from other Porsche titles is the fact everyone contributing to this magazine, almost without exception, owns and runs a Porsche. In fact, most of us bringing you “the world’s biggest-selling monthly Porsche magazine” are in possession of multiple Porsches. For starters, our editor, Dan Furr, is the owner of a 997 Carrera 4S, a 968 Sport and a 944 Turbo, but across our fast fleet is a fine mix of Stuttgart-crested sports cars, including two showcased for the first time this month: an RS-kitted 996 Gen II GT3 and a 981 Cayman GT4.
With this in mind, we reasoned showcasing the cars doted on by the people bringing you the words and pictures you devour each month would serve to reinforce the fact we don’t just write about and photograph Porsches, we live and breathe them, too.
This passion for Porsche is what binds us to you, our loyal readers. As Karl Meyer describes in his op-ed piece this month, our work is more of a calling than a job, and even though we motoring journalists are lucky enough to drive all manner of Porsche products, nothing quite beats pride of ownership and the deeply personal relationship we have with our cars. We practice what we preach. Enjoy the magazine.
Issue Summary:
Including a 944 Turbo, a 996 GT3, a 968 Sport, a 981 GT4 and various Boxsters, this issue of 911 & Porsche World showcases cars owned by the magazine's contributors.
Top 3 Issue Features:
DOUBLE ACT - Taking the shape of a 996 Gen II GT3 and an Aerokitted Carrera packing a 3.7-litre oversized flat-six, we're lucky enough to have not one, but two 996s on our fast fleet. They might be cut from the same cloth, but make no mistake, these are two very different examples of the first water-cooled 911.
ANOTHER LEVEL - Hot on the heels of his 981 Cayman GTS and 981 Boxster S buys, 911 & Porsche World photographer, Chris Wallbank, recently seized the opportunity to switch things up a gear with the purchase of a Sapphire Blue 981 Cayman GT4.
A PORSCHE FOR ALL SEASONS - Those unfamiliar with the Cayenne Coupe range might be forgiven for thinking the Turbo GT is the most powerful model in the current line-up. They’d be wrong — the Turbo S E-Hybrid not only comes with a rip-roaring V8, but also an eco-friendly plug-in hybrid system boosting power to almost 680bhp.
