10 B4391, WALES
We couldn’t not have this little gem in our top 10, seeing as we’ve road tested so many Porsche 911s along this sensational stretch of blacktop over the years. Nestled in the heart of Snowdonia’s dramatic landscape, the B4391 is a road considered to be off the beaten track for most tourists, meaning it’s usually bereft of traffic.
Heading west from the town of Bala towards Ffestiniog, the route’s first half is fast and flowing, with the second half becoming tight and technical, offering the best of both worlds to the driving enthusiast.
Always well sighted, with an excellent road surface, Total 911 isn’t the only motoring publication to have used the B4391 for its road tests. The first section is much flatter as it cuts through barren moorlands, before rising through a crested and cambered section to the slate-laden surroundings of Ffestiniog, where the road narrows, requiring extra precision in those turns. At just eight miles long, it’s short but oh-so sweet, and really is as delightful in both directions, for 911s new and old.
09 ORTEGA HIGHWAY CALIFORNIA, USA
The Ortega, as it’s known locally, meanders along an old Native American trail through rural SoCal’s South Orange County. It’s a breathtaking road, climbing into the Santa Ana Mountains, with rock walls on one side and canyons on the other. But with sections bearing nicknames like Dead Man’s Curve and Blood Alley, it’s known as the most dangerous road in the state.
