The naturally aspirated 4.0 litre 6 cylinder produces 500 bhp (125 bhp per cylinder!) and 460 Nm of torque. Combined with a low power-to-weight ratio, and the short shift ratios of the PDK, the performance figures speak for themselves. Top track speed is 193 mph, with the 0-62 sprint coming up in just 3.3 seconds.

This is a 911 which is an absolute weapon on track, yet is surprisingly docile, mannerly and easy to use on the road.
