In its masterful way, Porsche combines existing hardware to create a new all-time great—and then some.
The latest variant pays tribute to an ancestor, a 1970 911 S augmented with a performance package known internally by the moniker ST. Modifications combined the weight reduction of the 911 R of the time with the 911 T's stripped-down cabin. Race-homologated examples delivered Porsche its first 911 win in the Monte Carlo Rally.
The rear-steering system of the 911 GT3 RS is gone in order to further purify the driving experience, save weight , and lessen the load on the electrical system to accommodate a lighter, lower-amperage battery.
Halving the mass of the clutch and flywheel assembly means dropping its rotational inertia to just a third of what you'd experience in a GT3 Touring. The rate at which revs and decibels climb gives the impression the 911 S/T should have a twist throttle; this powertrain feels more superbike than sports car.
Carbon-ceramic brakes bite hard and progressive on your way into a corner, and weight transfer isn't as obvious as in, as the body practically refuses to pitch, dive, or roll on its suspension. This impeccable chassis control thankfully doesn't sacrifice ride quality. Yes, the S/T is stiff, but Calabria's crumbling, pockmarked pavement revealed no head toss or loss of composure, even under hard braking, full-throttle acceleration, and ambitious cornering.
