The first amazing car must be and always will be in my eyes, the Porsche 911. Most Porsches have that special quality that makes me want to sell my house and buy one, but the 911 has something extra, that little bit more. The old shape shape 911's are the best, the latest just isn't quite as sleak, but I guess it's a shape that will grow on me. Check out the Technical Specifications below and view some of the images to see what I mean.
