GT3's A CROWD

摘要

Is there room between the superb 911 GT3 and Cayman GTS for another landmark Porsche? Foreman's power with Hagler's chin. Jagger's strut and Jimi's virtuosity. A tender fillet Steak that tastes like rump. Maybe that's what, we're in the company of with the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS: Just maybe. By parachuting a new performance derivative into the gap between its greatest existing sports cars, Porsche seems to have attempted to split the difference between the 911 GT3 (third at last year's Britain's Best Driver's Car) and the Cayman GTS (fourth, at BBDC 2014). To have created, perhaps, a car with most of the awesome power and purposefulness of the 911 GT3, as well as the playfulness and accessibility of the Cayman GTS. If such a thing is even possible. The very idea seems a naive, wishful simplification.
