The last 911 generation where electronic driving aids aren’t in abundance, featuring the final use of a hydraulic-assisted steering system that communicates road conditions with unmatched clarity, paired with a chassis that delivers enthusiast-desired traits, including a shorter wheelbase, well-proportioned dimensions, and a balance that swings with the natural rhythm of the car’s pendulum-like motion, cements the 6th-generation 911’s status as a contemporary classic, and deservedly so.

For an even more stimulating and blissful experience, the S’ heighted driving dynamism as provided by its additional horsepower, an exhaust note that’s more vocalized and commanding, along with a standard issued PASM system, adds an elevated level of agility, adrenaline and adoration; throw in the intimate connection that transpires between driver and car via the emotive 6-speed transmission, exaltedly amplifies the already superlative driving pleasure that one can expect from the 997.
