The Best High Performance Cars for 2015

Описание: I’m probably more of a pushover for iconic and historic and heritage elements than the average person, but that’s who I am. When I look at a car that’s been made for over 60 years without any break in production and become one of the most iconic sports cars on the planet, to me that says as much or more about how great the car is than its actual performance – which is also very good. And that’s the Porsche 911.

I’m a huge 911 fan. I feel like this car – it’s kind of an enigma. I mean, most engineers have to admit that it probably wasn’t the best idea in the first place to put the engine so far back in the car. Porsche has had to tame that lever action, that lever moment that you get when you have so much weight at one end of a vehicle. But they’ve done it. They’ve successfully tamed it.

What they’ve done is they’ve taken what was arguably an Achilles heel or a downside to the vehicle and turned it into a core DNA element for 911s that 911 fans, current and future owners, love. They love that aspect, that there’s now this rear engine sports car that handles and performs as well as any car that theoretically started out with much better weight distribution and weight balance.
