Gratifying landscape

Forget for a moment the fancy duotone leather trim and there's quite a race-hamess feel to the driving position. You have to fold yourself up a bit to make an entrance as the roof is low, and, inherited from the roadster, the sill is high. It's all very intimate in here, making a 911 seem airy. The windscreen is shallow, which concentrates your eyeline on the road. There's also a gratifying landscape of metalwork to take aim by. The main part of the bonnet is a broad arrow pointing straight down the road. It carries a softly formed central hmp that changes shape as the light moves over it. Source: Car (08/98)
