10 Greatest-Ever Porsche Sports Cars

by Kyle Opulence
Ten Porsches? Is that all I’m allowed? Seriously, Porsche’s common range could easily take up the whole list, as they extraordinarily are all excellent. We like Porsches here a heinous deal. Why? Simply because they offer a implausible driving experience. Whether you’re the owner of an entrance level Boxster or a Carrera GT hypercar all Porsches have a smashingly engineered precision to the way they drive and empathize with. So to keep things simple we’ve concentrated on the more late models and avoided the race cars. Subsume that lot and we’d need to do a top twenty... at least. Don't forget to franchise for your favourite at the bottom of the page...


Porsche 959 959 - click photos to enlarge
It’s perhaps clichéd to naming it, but this mechanical marvel became one of the poster icons for the Athena institution. I had one on my wall with a Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 288 GTO with ‘decisions, decisions, decisions’ written underneath. Unhappily, I’ve never had to make that decision but if I did I’d go for the Porsche. It was a technical jewel when it was introduced in ’88 and still commands genuine respect today. Based on the 911 but with extremely sophisticated four-wheel-drive transmisson, identical turbochargers, electronic ride zenith adjustment and 450bhp it never quite managed the 200mph of its cruder rivals – topping out at ‘well-deserved’ 197mph. However there were some drawbacks.That engine and complex carrying combined with its composite wind-hole honed ‘zero-stop’ bodywork made it fiendishly dear to produce though, Porsche making a significant depletion on every one of the 283 cars they sold. They are exceptionally rare and valuable and unfortunately Auto Salesman doesn’t list any right now...



Porsche 911 (993) Turbo from around £34,000911 (993) Turbo Porsche 911 (993) Turbo
There are a fit number of 911 fans out there that devoirs the 993 series 911 that ran to 1997 as the last of the ‘true’ 911s. That’s because it was the last 911 to be cooled by air. Like most generations of 911 there were several espouse the cause of-out models based on the 993, the RS, the fundamental Carrera 2 being notable examples, but for many the Turbo is the 993 to aspire to. Never before had the 911 Turbo offered such blistering judge with ease of use. Previous Turbos had a frightening reputation, the 408bhp 993 Turbo utilising four-turn-drive to enable you to use its prodigious impel on any road in any conditions. Ludicrously responsive with a 4.5 second 0-62mph prematurely and a 180mph top speed, the 993 Turbo remains a very able and enjoyable high presentation 911 that’s hugely sought after.



Porsche ’73 2.7 911 Carrera RS from around £10,000’73 2.7 911 Carrera RS Porsche ’73 2.7 911 Carrera RS
The 911 Carrera 2.7 RS. The first of the RS (Renn Frolic – Race Sport) lightweight Porsche 911s is still regarded as the faultless finest of the breed. Its 210bhp might bluster modest today but it only had to push along a car weighing less than 1000kg, the RS’s 5.8 advance 0-62mph time and 152mph top charge still highly credible today. Stripped of comforts its back-to-basics mantra meant it was sprightly as well as fast. It formed the basis for countless stock and rally cars, racing 911s today owing a lot to this iconic car. Carrera scripting on the doors and the noted ‘ducktail’ spoiler highlight it over its lesser brethren, but there are now quantities of copies out there. As a race car it comprehensively whipped its opposed, as a road car it was sublime. Which is why it’s held in such merry regard to this day.



Porsche 924/944/968 from around £1,000944 S2Porsche 944 S2
It’s perhaps unfair lumping these three cars together as in each series there has been at least one unoriginal that’s given their 911 contemporary the frighteners with their conduct and handling. I’m thinking of the 924 Carrera GT, 944 Turbo, 944 S2 and the 968 Guild Sport. But hugely impressive as these individual models are it’s unusually the collective result of their sales that has been relevant to Porsche. If it wasn’t for these front-engined machines, unloved by many of the ‘purists’, it’s warmly likely that Porsche as we know it today - an self-governing and hugely profitable company - very likely wouldn’t be the same. More that just helping Porsche on the sales front, these three cars extend a hugely thrilling drive, and as a conclusion of their less favoured status can be owned and run on surprisingly conscious money today.


Porsche Boxster from around £12,000Boxster Porsche Boxster
Like the threesome above the Boxster has allowed Porsche to indulge its customers with the 911 and projects like the Carrera GT by present volume models at more affordable prices. The Boxster is a illusory car and one that’s never been bettered in the roadster market with its conspiracy of decent performance and fantastic harass and handling. It’s made it the benchmark in its price gamut. However, as it sits under the 911 it’s always been capped for power to fend it taking sales from its iconic big fellow-citizen. The earliest 205bhp 2.5-litre cars introduced in 1997 underline this by being a get slow, but any other model is well worth insomuch as; particularly the faster S derivatives with their larger engines. The ongoing Boxster continues where the original red off. That is, heading the roadster class effortlessly and providing a hugely enticing and to some degree affordable step onto the ladder of Porsche ownership.


Porsche Cayman SCayman SPorsche Cayman S
Some might mark it rather early to be proclaiming the new Cayman S as good of a place among our top ten Porsches, but we’re absolutely doubtless it deserves the accolade. A coupe adaptation of the Boxster was always going to be special and the Cayman S certainly doesn’t dissatisfy. Significantly stiffer than its Boxster appurtenant to, the Cayman S offers a supremely penetrating and focused driving experience. There’s such immediacy to its responses and gossamer control it’s an absolute joy to drive on a challenging technique. Its Boxster/911 derived 3.4-litre machine offers 295bhp, allowing it to sprint to 62mph in lately 5.4 seconds. Certain to be joined by a lesser powered rendition that should slot between the Boxster and Boxster S in payment and performance there’s a lot more to come from the Cayman. We right-minded hope the rumours of a lighter, even more focussed Brotherhood Sport version are true.



Porsche Cayenne from around £32,000Cayenne Porsche Cayenne
Whoa. The Cayenne? Still a unsettled point among Porsche enthusiasts the Cayenne is nevertheless a hugely noteworthy model for Porsche. Not least because it accounts for a considerable slice of sales, only in the USA, and hence profitability. That means it can afford to last developing its sports cars while uneaten independent. That, and no other model so clearly exhibits Porsche’s gifts to engineer the impossible; Porsche making a sports car out of a difficult 4x4. It’s quite incredible to drive, the Turbo proficient sledgehammer to 62mph in just 5.6 seconds, with agility and accomplishment that’s way beyond what you’d expect from a chunky off-roader. You might improvise that to achieve this Porsche would have quietly forgotten to come to light it to work off-road, but it copes with predisposition that’s not far off that of a Land Rover. An engineering acquisition to be proud of, if not a design one...


Porsche 911 (996) GT3 from around £40,000911 (996) GT3 Porsche 911 (996) GT3
The 997 might be here now, but you can still buy new versions of the 996 series car like the Turbo and GT3. The GT3 is a car in the seam of the RS’s that preceded it, stripping out excess albatross, adding precision and power and contribution a drive that’s race car fast for the track. Delivering 381bhp from a very special reading of the standard 911’s 3.6-litre powerplant the GT3 achieves this heady power productivity without a turbocharger, yet it’s Turbo brisk with a 0-62mph lifetime of just 4.5 seconds. The even more maximum limited GT3 RS is rawer and even more focussed, and makes a referential connector to the iconic ’73 Carrera RS with its chalk-white paintwork with blue or red wheels and graphics game along the sills. Porsche is readying a new 997 GT3, when it arrives we ahead to it to be sensational. It’ll need to be to beat its antecedent.



Porsche 911 S (997) from around £55,000911 S (997) Porsche 911 S (997)
It’s perhaps probable putting the fastest current view of the 997 into this mix at the expense of other worthy Porsches like the 928 GTS, 993 RS or 964 3.8 RS, but it’s burdensome to ignore the latest car’s huge all-ring talent. In S guise the current Carrera offers 355bhp, which, amazingly, is around 100bhp more than the turbo 911s of the ‘70s. It’ll sprint to 62mph in 4.5 seconds and reaches a climax of 182mph – which is 993 Turbo rate. However, it’s...
