How do you describe one of the most legendary nameplates in automotive history?  Breathtaking, powerful, dramatic, and sensual are just a few adjectives to describe the multi-faceted 2008 Porsche 911. The quintessential sports coupe offers multiple variations of the classic shape, from coupes to convertibles. A notable addition to the stable this year is the new Turbo Cabriolet, which is also the most expensive model in the lineup.

The 911 has a total of 14 distinct models in its stable, including the Carrera coupe and cabriolet, the Carrera S coupe and cabriolet, the all-wheel drive Carrera 4S coupe and cabriolet, the glass-roof, removable top Targa 4 and 4S – all which offer a choice of a 3.6 or 3.8 liter flat 6-cylinder engines producing 325 and 355 horsepower, respectively. The ultra-powerful 911 Turbo coupe or all-new cabriolet offer a scintillating 480 horespower from a twin-turbo 3.6 liter 6-cylinder engine. The race-ready 911 GT3 and GT3 RS offer track-ready performance and 415 horsepower as the most hardcore versions of the current 911. All models feature a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission that actually supplies quicker acceleration times than the manual. The optional boost-enhancing Sport Chrono Turbo package increases torque in turbo models and supplies even more thrust.

Safety features across the board include dual front airbags, a new Porsche Side Impact Protection system with two side airbags in each front seat, and side curtain airbags. The brakes are among the best in the business, with a standard Anti-lock braking system, 4-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and amazing optional Porsce Ceramic Composite Brakes, which imbue the 911 with unsurpassed braking power and control on the roadway or the racetrack. An available Bi-Xenon lighting system with headlight leveling and washer system creates greater illumination than the standard halogen bulbs while using less power. Standard Porsche Stability Management uses a range of sensors and Automatic Brake Differential and Anti-Slip Regulation to maintain traction and stability during evasive maneuvers.

Inside, 911 models feature standard automatic full climate control, an available BOSE® Surround Sound System and 6-disc CD autochanger for amazing sound quality, and the standard Porsche Communication Management system, which integrates the stereo system, trip computer, and available GPS navigation system. Dual power front seats with leather upholstery add luxury and comfort, while optional ParkAssist uses ultrasonic sensors to gauge the distance of obstacles behind the car.

Combining refinement, innovation, a legendary reputation for speed, the 2008 Porsche 911 is a true automotive icon that continues to evolve and transform into a more formidable sportscar.
