Porsche wanted an appropriate successor to the ground-breaking 911 R. Has it delivered?
Having arrived in Italy, we were swiftly told what two-time WRC champ and confirmed Porsche super-fan Walter Röhrl thought of the new 911 S/T. “The 911 S/T is the best road car I have ever driven. It meets my expectations of a perfect sports car down to the smallest detail. Actually, the car should be called the Porsche 911 Walter Röhrl.
If you’re inclined to hold those few kilos against Weissach, it’s worth reiterating the significant work done to increase what Mr GT3 calls the ‘zing factor’. That smaller clutch is derived from a racing component, and, in conjunction with a new single-mass flywheel, is said to weigh 10.2kg compared with 20.7kg in a manual GT3 - meaning, of course, that fun-sapping inertia has also been slashed . This, let’s not forget, with a 525hp, 9,000rpm, 4.
Especially when Porsche hasn’t laid the groundwork by tastefully stripping the S/T’s cabin of all non-essentials. Instead, and somewhat disappointingly given the headline focus on weight reduction, this is much the same high-grade 992 we’ve become accustomed to elsewhere - minus the rear seats, of course.
