About this car:

The Porsche 911 Carrera S is a high-performance variant of the iconic 911 sports car, known for its balance of everyday usability and thrilling driving dynamics. As part of the 911 lineup, it maintains the classic rear-engine layout that has defined the model since its inception, but with modern technology and engineering that push its performance to impressive levels.

Powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine, the Carrera S produces around 443 horsepower (depending on the generation) and delivers exceptional acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in about 3.5 to 4 seconds. It is available with a 7-speed manual transmission or Porsche’s quick-shifting 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. The car's rear-wheel-drive setup, with the option for all-wheel drive in the Carrera 4S, ensures incredible grip and control, especially when paired with Porsche’s precision-tuned suspension and steering.

The 911 Carrera S is celebrated for its engaging and balanced handling. Porsche’s use of advanced systems like active suspension management (PASM) and torque vectoring helps deliver sharp cornering while maintaining ride comfort, making the car just as capable on winding roads as it is on the highway.

Inside, the 911 Carrera S combines luxury with sportiness, featuring high-quality materials, a driver-focused cockpit, and a range of modern technology like a touchscreen infotainment system, navigation, and digital instrumentation. Despite its performance credentials, the car is relatively practical, with two small rear seats (best suited for occasional use or extra luggage) and a small trunk in the front.

The Porsche 911 Carrera S offers a perfect blend of speed, precision, and daily usability, making it one of the most well-rounded and desirable sports cars on the market.
