I know I am biased, as I am now on my 5th one, but I STILL have to throw this one up for a vote as I think the 911 is one of the best looking sports cars ever produced...timeless. Next time you are stuck behind a wide body Turbo Porsche 911 (do NOT try to overtake...lol), or a 911 S, just admire the ageless elegance of the lines, the MUSCLE in that wide stance and giant tires, the almost sensual lines of the rear end, the first sports car with a spoiler...etc.

Perhaps the fact that the body shape has EVOLVED over the last 30 years, rather than changing with the whims of fashion, is part of its magic...EVERYONE knows its a Porsche, and it is probably the MOST recognizable sports car 'shape' on the road today (after the Cobra, of course).

Ignore the 928 (a GREAT GT car), forget the 914, the 944, the 968, the Boxster, the Cayman, and GOD FORBID the Cayenne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (merely a fast truck!!!), forget even the 911 cabriolet and forgive Porsche for their sins in creating anything other than the 911, but the 911 COUPE is one of the GREAT CLASSICS!
