The legendary German sports car manufacturer Porsche introduced its first 911 model in 1963. More than 50 years later, the 2016 Porsche 911 still holds sway for driving enthusiasts of every stripe. The UK's Telegraph recently took the 911 out for a test drive.

The base model of the 911, the Carrera, rockets from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, according to the Telegraph. Steering is remarkably precise and this two door grips corners hard and tight.

Variations on the 911 are nearly endless. You can choose two- or four-wheel drive; a coupe, cabriolet or halfway Targa model body…

Though it may not be the brawniest or baddest sports coupe in the German automaker's stable -- the iconic 911 will likely forever hold that title -- the 2016 Porsche Cayman is nonetheless one very attractive and highly desirable performance pony.

Yet, what makes it so? For the response to that, we at Porsche Southpoint invite you to scope the clip below. Car and Driver Magazine is here to explain:

There are myriad powertrain options throughout the Cayman portfolio. And though we have love for them all, the penultimate iteration -- the GTS -- may darn-well be our favorite.

Are you considering a midsize luxury crossover for your next automotive purchase? Do you feel like you're having trouble finding the right fit?

If so, we at Porsche Southpoint are here to tell you: we have the solution. And you'll find it in the form of the 2016 Porsche Cayenne.

Click "play" on the clip below to feast your senses on this first-class utility vehicle:

There are a whopping seven trim levels throughout the Cayenne catalog. And quite honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Even the base iteration is altogether brilliant.

At Porsche Southpoint, we know drivers from in and around Durham never stop pushing boundaries.

"In the beginning, I looked around and could not find the car I'd been dreaming of: a small, lightweight sports car that uses energy efficiently. So I decided to build it myself." -Ferry Porsche

Founder of Porsche automobiles, Ferry Porsche took the above idea and turned it into the reality we know today: offering drivers all over the world a wide offering of performance automobiles ranging from the veteran 911 which has been around since 1963, to the more recent razor-sharp developments of the Cayman and its convertible-counterpart the Boxster.

The future of the automotive world is looking more and more green. Undersized compacts, all-electric engines, hybrids from almost every major brand out there! And that's great--who will save the world if not for us? But, historically, there's been a price to pay for the feel-good reaction of little or zero emissions, in the form of low power and a rather boring driving experience.

But not anymore...

Fiction writer, carpenter, car racer and all-around doer and do-gooder Jack Olsen has created two masterpieces that are not mutually exclusive.
