The 911 won last year and it also won this year. It's a great all around car.

Here's a quote for the Cayman over 911 thread. Hehe.

Kiino: "When I said the Cayman S left me wanting more, I guess I was talking about the 911."

Half a sec faster than a 997 GT3- imagine what a 991 GT3 would have done

Great reviews.

Thanks for posting this.

Hope we get the Vette, the 991 turbo, and the 991 GT3 added next year.

Never really know what to think about these type of articles...so much of what makes something "Best" is subjective. Makes for more entertaining reading if you are near the top of the list I guess. All I know is I love my C4S. Now, if only I was the "Best Driver for 2013" !

good tho i never thought the 991 c4s should have even been there-nor the gtr- as i dont think awd is that different.

next yr we have:
gt3, TT, vette, 458 S, camaro z28, m4, and maybe the vette z06!

The E63 S-Model AMG 4matic wagon really impressed me.

Upon researching it on the MB site I'm even more impressed.

More power than a Cayenne turbo S, AWD, 7 speed multi-clutch transmission and $43,000 LESS than a Cayenne turbo S.

Awesome car!

agreed. At $105k and similar interior size, I'd prob take this over a Cayenne GTS. Now take a look at the drag race:




that wagon hauls!

I wonder if they used the launch control on the Porsches.

The 991C4S was half second off the best 991C2S road test times. Maybe it was the altitude and lack of cubic inches. Makes the track result that much more impressive. Next year the Turbo S!

For what those cars cost they could have tested one Veyron (and it would have consumed as much gas as they did too).

Awesome car!

Now I know that I'm on my last Cayenne turbo! Hello, AMG.
