Porsche has equipped the 911 with a lot of safety gizmos
Safety – The Porsche 911 is as safe as it can get. You get a plethora of electronics including a sensitive traction-control system and stability programme to make sure the 911 stays in place. The 911 is also gets 6 airbags and ISOFIX child seat anchorages. Factor in the tank-like build quality, the 911 is incredibly safe. Talking about service, Porsche has presence in metros in India and service costs are expectedly on the higher side since parts are also imported.

The 911 has many variants so there’s something for everyone
Verdict – The Porsche 911, for the eighth time, has shown us the meaning of a truly great sports car. It has got exceptional performance and sensational dynamics. But in its pursuit of being an incredible driver’s car, it looses very little on comfort and convenience. The gorgeous design and phenomenal interior is just the icing on the cake. The Porsche 911 has been launched in India with a starting price of Rs. 2.12 crores (on-road, Mumbai). This makes the car enormously expensive but experience the sheer depth of abilities and you begin to understand the high-price. We have no doubt that the 911 remains an invincible motoring icon and one the finest examples of German engineering.
