911 & Porsche World Issue 253 April 2015

We're going big on the 997 in the April 2015 issue of 911 & Porsche World. It's only one model removed from the 991 and prices are looking pretty good right now, whether it's a basic Carrera 2 or a mighty Turbo.

Elsewhere we've pitched a 924 Carrera GT against the 968 Club Sport and followed the Tuthill GT3 rally machine on the Monte Carlo rally with Francois Delecour at the wheel.
