A 388-hp, 3.0-liter turbo six-cylinder engine and eight-speed dual-clutch automatic are standard.

We found the 911's sharp handling to be a treat, and the power and exhaust sound are invigorating.
Ride comfort is refined compared with other sports cars, and the seats are super comfortable.
A tiny rear seat and a frunk, or front trunk, offer a touch of practicality.
An updated infotainment system includes a 10.9-inch touchscreen.
Updates for 2025 include a new performance-oriented hybrid powertrain for the GTS model.
The rest of the line sees a moderate horsepower boost.

2013 Model Redesign Year
The redesign year indicates that the car is either introduced for the first time or an existing model has been
significantly re-engineered. The more extensive or complicated the redesign, the higher the risk of reliability problems.
These models enjoy more power and improved fuel economy, thanks to a displacement increase for the engine.
Other enhnacements include a new seven-speed automated manual transmission, along with engine stop-start technology.
The automated manual gives nothing up in performance.
The car is still super quick and agile, yet also more civilized than ever.
This generation of 911 retains its traditional core values of superlative agility, immediate responses, decisive brake feel, and a bespoke driver-focused cabin.
Reasonable visibility, the presence of a rear seat, albeit a very tight one, and a decent sized front trunk make it one of the most practical true sports cars out there.
The manual transmission's seven gear ratios seem perfectly distributed, resulting in a fairly calm cruise in top gear - something that was never the case in previous 911s. Handling remains extremely agile, with instant turn-in response and a body that stays flat and even keeled.
Still, the new electrically assisted steering lacks the high-fidelity feedback that's been a Porsche hallmark for literally generations.
Yes, it's still quick, linear, precise, and nicely weighted.
But it's not the same as the pure unfiltered feedback that's been a source of such special pleasure in this car.

Handling is extremely precise and agile, and the ride is relatively supple.
Braking is phenomenal.
Rear seats, a reasonable trunk, and good visibility are added bonuses in a sports car.
In later years, Porsche bumped the power a bit and added a seven-speed sequential transmission.
The 2013 redesign brought more power and improved fuel economy to the 911 line.
Even with an automatic transmission, the car gives up nothing in performance.
With it, the 911 is still super quick and agile, yet also more civilized than ever.
