911

nounStandard termAutomotive

A flagship rear-engine sports car model manufactured by Porsche.

This iconic German sports car is defined by its rear-mounted flat-six engine and distinctive sloping fastback profile. Engine placement behind the rear axle gives it unique handling characteristics, including exceptional rear-wheel traction under acceleration and a tendency toward lift-off oversteer if pushed too hard into a corner.
