The base 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six producing 385 hp and 450 Nm. In its rear-wheel-drive, rear-engine configuration it delivers the purest form of the 911 driving experience: razor-sharp steering, instinctive handling balance, and that iconic flat-six soundtrack. Available as Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa.
FORPORSCHE RATING: 9/10
Iconic rear-engine, rear-drive layout defines sports car handling; 60-plus years of engineering refinement in a single body; perfectly balanced for the road; accessible entry point to the 911 range.
Limited luggage space; firm ride on harsh surfaces; entry price is significant; Carrera designation understates the real-world performance.
The benchmark. Over six decades, the 911 Carrera has defined what a sports car should be. Nothing drives quite like a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Porsche. The standard every competitor measures itself against.
