It"s the new 911, promise. What, you were expecting the styling to change? Surely you"ve learned by now, that"s not how the 911 works. But, oddly, how the 911 actually works how it"s lobbed down a road is all new. It"s not a facelift. It"s a brain and heart transplant. The new 991"s still flat-six powered Porsche hasn"t totally lost its mind but there"s a 3.0-litre, twin-turbo boxer where the last-gen Carrera S had 3.8 litres breathing at atmospheric pressure. It equals more power and torque with lower fuel consumption and emissions (officially) so we"ve brought a mighty Jaguar F-Type R and artisan BMW i8 along. The 100k sports-car bookends, so far as power and efficiency are concerned.Photography: Lee BrimbleThis feature was originally published in the February 2016 issue of Top Gear magazine.
