Carrara:

Just check out Chris Harris' review of the RS 4.0. It's only about a minute long, and he keeps everything very simple, but it's his emotion that makes this such a fantastic review. He really lets you know just how it feels to drive.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Review - evo Car Of The Year 2011

The last hurrah for the motorsport derived ‘Metzger’ flat six and indeed the entire 997-generation Porsche 911 dynasty, the RS 4.0 was never NOT going to be in the evo Car Of The Year 2011 line-up unless Porsche had taken complete leave of their senses by tuning it to understeer like an anvil in a shopping trolley. (It doesn’t, by the way.) Instead, the company has taken last year’s eCoTY winner, the already admirable 3.8-litre RS, and made it faster, sharper and harder. The details on the spec sheet - the racing crank, the carbon front wings, the lightweight battery - all give little reminders that Porsche isn’t mucking about with this one and the resolutely old skool manual gearchange gives a good indication this isn’t a car for the weak or lazy. Oh dear no.

Porsche Cayman R - evo Car Of The Year 2011

When Porsche slapped the R badged on this slightly lighter, slightly faster but in no way extreme and race honed version of the Cayman it made many evo staff very angry. But not, it must be said, angry enough to disqualify the R from eCoTY because behind the badge is an intelligently honed version of what is already Porsche’s most sweetly balanced car.
