For many, their mental image of a German sports car looks like a Porsche 911. For decades, the heart of the Porsche lineup has consisted of the stalwart 911 in a dizzying array of models. The lineup has expanded around the 911 to include the competent Boxster roadster, Cayman coupe and the Cayenne SUV.

The 911 line benefits from new 3.6 liter and 3.8 liter engines and revised front styling. The new engines are more powerful than the previous versions. A new optional 7-speed PDK double clutch transmission replaces the six-speed Tiptronic found in prior models.

Next up for Porsche is the launch of an all-new 4-door vehicle.
