German Car Zone

About 95 000 readers of the German publication Auto motor und sport have unanimously chosen the Porsche 911 Carrera as the “Best Automobile in the World” for its category of drop-top. These awards have become a second nature for Porsche, as its 911 Turbos and Cabriolets have won 37 best trophies since the start of the awards back in 1977. This fact, along with the 911’s basic shape, seems to have remained the same for 31 years then.

Important recognition for Porsche from one of the most influential magazines in the motor industry, especially considering that 49 other convertibles and cabriolets (depending on where you live) were soundly beaten, again, in this category. In the awards’ history a Porsche has either won a category, or taken second place where it was entered, which seems like a really good record to beat.

One area where Porsche pride themselves but have never really been recognised by expert scribes is in the World Engine of the Year competition. Perhaps this year they will go one better than last year and win two. It would be interesting if an Italian version of the magazine appeared, just to see what sort of vehicles would win.

Best car ever made, actually. At least in my opinion.

The 911 just gets better and better and more irresistible with every new generation. Even, though it looks pretty much the same since 1963... but I don't care, really. The 911 shape is timeless.

Yeah..911 is a legend..It just may be the best car ever..IMO it isn´t far away from it..Its fast,exceptionally built and designed to last till Doomsday..

Yeah. And this 997 is one of the purest, better designed 911 ever, it is a masterpiece. I stare at it everytime I see one.
It does not need specacular colors or wings or wheels or bumpers. It is perfect, and as a perfect car it does not need anything more. This is why most Ferraris or Lambos have to change, whereas the 911 doesn't.

I love it.

For me the best 911 ever are the 2.7RS, 930, 930 Turbo, 993 GT2, 997 Carrera S and 997 GT3 RS.

My favorite is 997 GT 2..closely followed by GT 3 RS..I just love performance editions of 911..

probably the best sports car..
but not the best car ..

Really? Better than Zonda? Wow, Artist! You really surprise me sometimes.

Yes, better than the Zonda. The Zonda is not a car, it is a supercar. Pretty different stuff.



So, 911 or Zonda??

for sure..its waaaaay more usefull
