Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- The benchmark entry-level sports car
- Turns more heads than a base 911
- Next-gen is electric, so it's a collectable
Misses
- Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
- Storage space in the cabin is tight
- Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
