Few cars make as a statement quite like a bright yellow Porsche 911, especially when you push the button marked with an exhaust-tip graphic. This switch makes the car even louder, and once you also engage the high-performance Sport Chrono mode, an already fast car turns into a real monster. The combination of furious sound and the incessant tug of gravity during full-bore acceleration is absolutely addicting, as is the ease with which big speed can be achieved. In fact, I wonder if the Porsche 911 is too fast for public roads. Several times I glanced at the speedometer only to realize – good grief! – I’d better stand on the carbon-ceramic brakes and seek a more prudent velocity.
