What is your favourite Porsche?

You are aware that Mark Donahue, who did so much of the development of these cars, preferred them with a locked diff? The mind boggles...
It's nice to see some folk recognising the 928 on here.
I sometimes wonder what it would have become if it were still in production. Bigger arches than even the GTS, for sure, perhaps with a development of the venerable hypereutectic V8, taken out to 5.6 litres, with VCT (a la 968) may be, and may be even twin K24 Turbo chargers.
My favourite has got to be any sort of 993, be it, Turbo , naturally aspirated RS or GT2.

after all this is the heart talking.
Sorry but this makes me chuckle every time.
These are only Porsches in that they're German cars : these are pieces of engineering designed to satisfy a need expressed into a sum of functions.
That many of us here think our own Porsche is the best one pretty much reinforces the idea ours is what suits us best in what we personally need in terms of reliabilty, durability, performance, look, etc. That they provide fun is merely a bonus that has accidentally emerged as a result to multiple yet very respectable engineering efforts.
We can appreciate Porsches for the engineering excellence they deliver but liking one "from the heart" would show rather narrow motoring horizons.

Man's love affair with the car is renound and has existed since the first car's inception. Owning a car, for car enthusiasts, is a very emotive thing and is driven by more than just engineering excellence - otherwise no one would buy a Ferrari over a Porsche or an Alfa over a VW.
I absolutely adore 911s so my motoring horizons must be very narrow - and my favourite.......a 2.7 Carrera RS - and then my 3.2 Carrera.
As eye candy,the 904 GTS has got to be up for contention as one of the most beautiful
