Richard Hammond must be thinking about the new Porsche 911 with a big smile on his face. It is no surprise as time and time he has shown his love for the 911 with witty comments such as whenever you walk into a Porsche showroom, the only car you need to buy is the 911 and the only option available is the colour of the car.
