About the Porsche 911
Now in its eighth generation, the iconic Porsche 911 is now quicker, more emotional, and more connected than ever before. Reflecting the quintessential characteristics of Porsche design DNA, the 911 wears a more muscular look along with a striking interior layout that’s both modern and timeless. All 911 models are powered by the next generation of Porsche flat-six turbocharged engines, offering a significant horsepower increase as compared to the previous model. As part of an expanded collection of available active driver assistance features, the 911 now includes standard Porsche Wet Mode for greater driver awareness on wet roads and is available with Night Vision Assist featuring a thermal imaging camera. Taking cues from classic 1970s 911 models, an updated interior has been crafted with an emphasis on driver engagement and ergonomics. Longer, wider, and more poised than ever before– the Porsche 911 challenges convention while staying true to its legendary heritage.
What the Critics Say
“As the Carrera’s twin-turbocharged flat-six spins to life, it’s immediately apparent that all the action is going on behind you. There’s some aural augmentation at work here, physically piping engine noise into the cabin, but it comes off as more organic than artificial, and it means you get to hear more of the one thing that makes the 911 different than any car on the market: it’s engine.” — MotorTrend
“Steering is still electrically assisted, but Porsche claims the responsiveness is now 11 percent quicker in the standard car. Feedback on the track is as good as its predecessor’s, as is its faultless precision. The direct connection gels well with the newfound grip and sense of stability, reducing the apparent size of the wider and heavier 992.” — Car and Driver
What’s New for 2026
2026 is certainly an exciting year for the legendary Porsche 911 with plenty of significant updates inside and out. It all starts with the triumphant return of the Carrera 4S model in coupe, convertible, and Targa bodystyles. These variants are equipped with a rear-biased version of Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive. Inside the cabin, all 911 trims benefit from an improved infotainment system featuring better responsiveness, Amazon Alexa integration, and native app download functionality. Finally, Dolby Atmos surround sound technology has been added to the available Bose and Burmester audio systems inside the 2026 911.
Porsche 911 Features
Timeless Exterior
Marking a progressive evolution in style, the exterior design of the Porsche 911 remains thoroughly modern while paying homage to 911 models of the past. Noticeably wider wheel housings accent large 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels. At the front, body width has been increased by 1.77 inches, making room for a wider front track. Rear body width on both the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S has increased to 72.91 inches, precisely the width of the previous 911 Carrera 4 and 911 GTS models. The front luggage compartment lid with pronounced contours evokes the design of the first 911 generations, flanked by LED headlights. In an effort to reduce weight, the entire outer skin is now made of aluminum aside from the front and rear fasciae.
Driver-Focused Interior
Using inspiration from 1970s 911 models, the contemporary interior of the 911 begins with the clear and straight lines of the dashboard with recessed instruments. Two thin frameless, free-form displays give the driver information on both sides of the centrally positioned tachometer. Optional Adaptive 18-way Sport Seats Plus with improved lateral support hold the driver firmly in place during high-speed maneuvers. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a larger 10.9-inch touchscreen display offers comprehensive connectivity including both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration to improve your drive.
Potent Performance
Every Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera T now produces 388 horsepower thanks to a reimagined turbocharged flat-six engine. The result is an impressive gain in comparison to the prior generation. The dynamic 911 GTS takes just 2.9 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill, while the 911 GTS 4 Coupe with all-wheel drive matches this time. Step up to the 911 Turbo or 911 Turbo S to feel the exhilaration of a track-tested twin-turbo flat-six. An available Sport Chrono Package lowers these times even further by 0.2 seconds. An 8-speed PDK dual clutch transmission is included as standard and a manual transmission is also available.
Driver-Assistance
A first for Porsche, Wet Mode is a standard feature found on every Porsche 911. This unique feature detects water on the road, preconditions the stability control and anti-lock brake systems accordingly, and notifies the driver of the conditions. Also included as standard, a camera-based warning and brake assist system can identify the risk of collision with other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Available Adaptive Cruise Control includes automatic distance control, stop-and-go functionality, and an innovative Emergency Assist function for even greater peace of mind.
