T’S hard to imagine a £78,000-plus car ever being a bargain, but Porsche may just have managed that feat with its latest take on the 911. Forget, at least for the time being, that £78,000 is still a spectacular amount of money to pay for a car, especially in these dismal times. Instead, concentrate on how the new Carrera GTS fits into the 911 range and offers you more for your money than any other car there. It’s an open secret that there is a new version of the 911 due, probably next year. So you might think that the GTS is just a new paint job and stickers to refresh the existing model line-up. If you do, then think again, because this is a superb car on every level that has immediately become just about the best 911 available. The trick Porsche has pulled off is to build a more sporting, more focused version of the Carrera, with lots of highly desirable kit (for less than the price of buying it separately), that is nevertheless a car you can still drive every day, rather than some Frankenstein’s monster of a track-day special. For example, the car comes as standard with its rear seats and longer-range fuel tank deleted to save weight – just like a track-day car. But for no cost you can have them put back and, to be honest, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t. If you can tell the difference, you must have a set of white racing overalls and helmet in your wardrobe. So less is more, more or less. Compared with the Carrera S, there is around 23bhp of extra power on tap, taking the output for the 3.8-litre flat six up to 408bhp. There are also some tweaks to how the engine breathes, which results in the maximum torque (420Nm, for those who understand such things) being available at lower revs, a big boost to driveability. The headline performance figures are 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds (for a Coupe fitted with PDK transmission and the Sport Chrono package that adds launch control) and a top speed of 190mph. For the heavier Cabriolet, the acceleration is a fraction slower (4.4 seconds) as you might expect, but top speed remains the same. And, usefully, fuel consumption is no worse, with a combined figure of 27.4mpg. Both models are a fraction quicker than their Carrera S counterparts, but that doesn’t tell the whole story about how good this car is to drive. The GTS is rear-wheel drive only, but has the wider rear track of the all-wheel drive Carrera 4. So you get the steering

PUNCHING ITS WEIGHT: The Carrera GTS is just about the best Porsche 911 available
GTS looks a bargain – at a mere £78,000 precision only available from a rear drive set-up, with the extra grip afforded by the wider track. Some fancy 19-inch RS Spyder wheels, in black, look great, especially with white or the special GT Silver metallic paintwork, and add to the fantastic levels of grip. The suspension features adaptive dampers as standard, so the car stiffens up when it needs to, but offers a comfortable ride with all your fillings intact when driving over bumpy roads. The Cabriolet (from £85,249) doesn’t let the side down, staying composed and flex-free on poor roads, and not feeling dramatically heavier than the Coupe, despite carrying around 100 kilos more weight.
DROP-TOP DREAM: The 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet Top down on a sunny day, the Cab is a wonderful place to be and like any convertible supercar, a poser’s heaven. If I were Porsche, I’d fit a little camera that perches on the front
wing and relays pictures of car and driver to the sat-nav screen – this is a car you really want to be seen in. Such a camera would doubtless be an expensive option – and the options list is the place where you
can end up spending serious money and risk of ruining the car’s excellent value. Add PDK transmission (£2,525), integrated sat-nav (£1,311), and ceramic brakes (£5,463) and you’ve just put nearly £10,000 on the price. And that’s before you consider all the ‘little’ extras like Bose Surround Sound (£825) or white dials (£400). But stay with the manual gearchange, keep your trusty TomTom, and try looking over your shoulder when reversing, and you can keep the price down to the point where other 911s look like poor value in comparison. Porsche obviously knows it has come up with something special here – and already predicts the Carrera GTS will be the most popular 911 derivative this year.

I
with MIKE TORPEY
F there’s a niche that’s really caught the public imagination in recent times it’s the crossover car. Ideal for the suburban set, it’s the model with the security, strength and raised driving position of a traditional off-roader but without the full blown mud-plugging ability of a hardcore 4x4. Among the more appealing of these ‘soft roaders’ is the Outlander, a robust and well designed eyecatcher from a manufacturer renowned for reliability – Mitsubishi. The Japanese company is quick to point out that the Outlander – available since 2007 – has actually sold three times as many vehicles as rivals like the Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007. And a recent upgrade means that 2011 models not only look sharper, but are more fuel efficient too. Mitsubishi has dispensed with petrol power for the latest range and introduced for the first time a two-wheel drive variant featuring a new 175bhp 2.2-litre diesel powerplant aimed at underlining the company’s pursuit of lower CO2 emissions under its Intelligent Motion banner. It’s a strong if slightly noisy unit boasting ample punch – sufficient to

and it works effectively with near seamless changes. There’s even a paddle shift option for hands-on control. Overall, there’s plenty to like about the Outlander, from its distinctive jet fighter grille to the handsome profile and simple interior layout including seats that fold at the prod of a button. When used as a five-seater there’s loads of head, leg and shoulder room while even the centre rear

position is comfortable. Boot space is also first class. The car’s cabin is durable rather than luxurious, though the seats and steering wheel on this model are of soft leather, and useful stowage areas include a pair of gloveboxes – the top one cooled. On the road the Outlander handles confidently and feels stable in adverse conditions thanks to its all-wheel control drivetrain. By turning a rotary selector
mounted between the front seats the driver can engage one of three modes to best suit the road and weather – 2WD for normal conditions, 4WD with its 70:30 front-rear split for unsurfaced roads and a low range mode for more heavy duty off-road work. Elegant lines give the Mitsubishi an upmarket appeal, enhanced by roof rails and chunky alloy wheels. Prices are from £22,099 for the 2.2 DI-DC GX2 four-wheel drive model.
