No need to redesign perfection...

I especially love how Porsche keeps changing one little thing on the body or interior and suddenly it's a Carrera GT Limited ZOMG Edition that's barely outperforming the previous model but now costs 40K more.

You mean the one that hasn't been redesigned since the Carter Administration?

Yeah.

At least they stay true to the spirit of the car and you know when you're looking at one going back to the 930's, 964's, 993's, 996's, and 997's.

The all-new 2012 Porsche 911 has been named the 2012 World Performance Car of the Year at the 2012 New York International Auto Show, during a press conference hosted by Bridgestone Corporation. The seventh-generation Porsche 911 was one of the 34 new-for-2012 vehicles selected for the annual awards program. The World Performance Car honor is awarded each year by an international jury panel comprised of 66 top-level automotive journalists from 25 countries around the world.

The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a new 3.4-liter boxer 6-cylinder and generates 350-hp, while the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S is powered by a 3.8 liter boxer making 400-hp. Both the engines are available with a seven-speed manual gearbox or the seven-speed dual-clutch Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) automatic. Hence the Carrera sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while the Carrera S reaches 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed for the two new models comes in at 188 mph and 179 mph, respectively. Prices start $82,100 for the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and $96,400 for the 2012 911 Carrera S.

“We are honored that the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S was chosen by this distinguished group of jurors as the 2012 World Performance Car. For just the seventh time in almost 50 years the iconic 911 has been revised to the point of being a new-generation, and winning this award from a global team of world-class journalists is excellent validation for the work and dedication of everyone at Porsche,” explained Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America.

7 speed manual? thats pretty fuckin sweet lol

cheaper than a gtr, and more badass....yes please

The 7 speed isn't very useful here though, it's meant as an overdrive gear for cruising at high speed such as on the autobahn.
