There's another side to this car, and it's comfort. Of course, I'm not talking about the limited rear seats (virtually useless) and the lack of cargo room (another triviality...).

No, I'm referring to the front buckets, which I found comfortable and easy to adjust regardless of driving intentions. Moreover, the new dashboard looks cleaner and less cluttered, taking away most distractions for the driver.

There is another side to the Porsche 911, and it is comfort.

Safety has also been enhanced as Porsche fitted the new 911 with adaptive headlights which swivel in corners to improve visibility.

As for the body, there are no major upgrades to report about. More refined than ever, the 911 remains easily recognizable from a distance, especially with those LED headlights and taillights that emphasize the car's sporty character (of course, there's another well-known German company that does the same trick...).

I'll let Mr. Nierop have the final word. After completing a demo lap early in the day, he turned to me and said with a smile: "I'd play this game all day long!"

What a game indeed!
