  • Welcome to the Porsche 911 S/T. Designed by Porsche as a present to itself on the 60th anniversary of the 911 (there’s 1,963 planned in honour of the birth year), the S/T revives a grand old name from 1969 when a 911 S was sprinkled with a touch of motorsport fairy dust to become the S/T - a fearsome competition car that did without the aid of big wings and hefty aero. A kind of beautiful Frankenstein’s monster, the S/T was a competition car, but not prolific.
    The modern S/T follows the same path, though with much more modern vim. Mounted in the back is the naturally-aspirated, 521bhp 4-litre boxer from the GT3 RS coupled to that short-ratio manual (with shorter cogs than a GT3). There are no big wings bar a short Gurney flap on the electric rear spoiler, which itself doesn’t raise quite as high as other 911s. The rear-wheel steer system is ditched to save weight and complexity, and the bonnet, front wings, ‘cage, rear anti-roll bars and shear panel underneath are all carbon fibre. The wheels are centre-lock and magnesium, the glass thinned to shave precious pounds. Even the battery has been on a diet, and now consists of a lightweight race-style lithium-ion unit. Cobble all this together with the slim carbon bucket seats along with weight savings from the powertrain and clutch, and the S/T becomes the lightest production 911. With a kerbweight of 1,380kg, it’s 40kg lighter than a manual GT3 Touring.
    There are plenty more facts and figures, and who better to show Top Gear magazine’s Tom Ford around the new Super 911 than the man behind it and the boss of Porsche's GT division, Andreas Preuninger.

    I still don't think the 992 is quite the looker that the 991.2 or better yet the 997.2 is for the modern cars, but leaving that and the electric steering debate aside... what's not to like? This sounds like the ultimate 911. Almost a perfect sports car. The pin striped interior feels oh so right. I'll likely never have the chance to own one of these, but if I could have one I would in an instant. What a thing. Eagerly awaiting what the 992.2 ends up looking like and how they try to top this.

    This is the 911R of this generation, the car that brought manuals back to Porsche's GT car lexicon. It is also now the most alluring package Porsche sells, according to me. Fewer gadgets and gizmos, less weight, less flash, but more involvement than any other modern Porsche on sale. That is also to say, more involvement than almost every modern car on sale today, period.

      @@Sideways_Singh because as a driver, enthusiast or professional, there is something very special when you get it right. That feeling of "being one" with the car. A bull rider does not get assists, and when they nail their ride you will hear them saying things like "I was just one with the bull"...same holds true here. Rear stearing (in a sports car) is more of an assist (like stability control) than anything else. This is why you will hear enthusiasts or "purists" mention, though it makes you faster...it takes something away from the pleasure of driving. These assists give you a confidence you otherwise should not have. The skill is not on the driver but in the tech/car. Without them, there is a respect. You respect the car, it's power, it's agility, it's ability...like walking up to that bull. It can kill you....but if you get it right (and it's all up to you) the sensation of pleasure is 10 fold. ;) it's why the F40 is so beloved.

    It's basically a new 911R. But they're calling it an ST because calling it an R would piss off the collectors. What I'd like to see is a 911 GTS 4.0. Something that is made for the road, has a back seat, and has the sound and pleasure of a 4.0 NA engine and manual Trans for daily commuting.

    Wow, this is my new favorite 992 911. I like the subdued and low key looks. The GT3RS NA engine and the lightest 911 title is dope too. The many select tweaks all around the car add up and creates its attraction though. The front fender vents, the magnesium wheels, various light weight parts, interior variety and manual transmission all make this THE 911. I like that it’s not necessarily race focused yet has the GT3RS engine. It’s no doubt more comfortable and less flashy than the GT3RS, yet it’s more road focused than the GT3 Touring. What a slot within the lineup to occupy. A cross between the S and the Touring. That makes sense.
