This is a supercar so insurance and fuel costs are fearsome but re-sale values are particularly strong so you’ll recoup money when you come to sell.

911 is a polluting model. With an average of 299 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are high for a sports cabriolet. It’s worth noting that the line-up does not feature any diesel models, which typically produce less carbon dioxide than petrol engines with similar power outputs. The range is disappointingly thirsty, averaging 23 mpg.

The most impressive thing about the 911 is that it can take a thorough pasting day after day after day and still remain solid and start on the button. But do not be tempted to forsake the servicing or you’ll decimate reliability as well as resale value..
