The best drivers car you can buy?
Well, probably not as you can’t actually buy one. Not a new one anyway. That remains the privilege of loyalty to the brand, and the fortunate chosen few. Beyond that I often described the 981 GT4 as one of the best cars Porsche have made in the last 10 years, along with the 911R. Porsche’s model output in that time is not exactly short of talent, including as it does, several iterations of the GT3, so it is quite a statement to make. I love 911s and especially the GT versions. I believe they are the ultimate expression of Porschedom and everything the brand is built on, but the GT4 was a shining mid-engined beacon. Always a lovely mechanical thing to drive it, was a car that flattered its drivers in many ways; it was tactile and playful but also tricky and quirky in a way that still made you work for it, as all the best drivers cars do.
