Daily Slideshow: 5 Things Porsches Do Better Than Other Sports Cars
Here are the top 5!
Improve Every Year
No matter what your thoughts are on PDK or things like manual transmissions, there is no denying that the 911 has become exponentially better every year. Better suspension geometry, better turbine tech, improved fuel efficiency and increased reliability to name just a few. Not only do them improve, but when you go back and drive one from the earlier decades they still feel every bit as strong as when they left the factory.
Look Great
How many cars can you name that are recognizable over 30 years later just from their silhouette? When asked this question most people immediately answer the Porsche 911. Withstanding the test of time is the true mark of great design, something that has always been a part of this legendary sports car’s heritage.
Put Down Traction
Thanks to a controversial placement of the rear engine cars like the 911 Carrera actually put down impressive amounts of traction regardless of the weather. It’s so good that the company managed to win the Dakar Rally with minimal modifications made to vehicles like the 959. You don’t see other sports cars with the same credentials on their resumes.
Sports Car Racing
Where do you even start with this companies long history at the race track? One of the only manufacturers to have success across a multitude of disciplines, Porsche takes motor racing seriously. A lot of car companies have this as just a marketing tool or extra way to spend money. Porsche’s core value system is derived from the race track which will never change!
Appreciate
70s RSRs, the new 911R, and even 912s are all going up in value. Everything Porsche is on a meteoric rise in fact. Where other manufacturers are dropping chunks of value, P-cars are seemingly gathering them up. It really is incredible how almost every model is steadily increasing. Who else can say that about their fleet?
