Porsche’s 911 range is already a confusing maze for every petrolhead other than the rabid Porsche nuts. Now, a new model called Porsche Carrera T — T for Touring — adds to this complex picture.

The next-generation Porsche 911, due as a 2020 model, was spotted undergoing hot-weather testing in Dubai.
Porsche has taken the wraps off the most powerful road-going 911 ever produced. Called the GT2 RS, it slips in as a halo model to the iconic sports car range which sold more than a million units since its inception 55 years ago.
It’s not very often a car museum wheels its finest exhibits out the door, transports them to a destination with fantastic driving roads, throws you the keys and says: “Here you go.

Porsche has announced that they will replace the engines in all 2014 911 GT3 and has told owners to stop driving their cars because of a fire risk.
