2024 Porsche 911 S/T Coupe Exterior. Heritage Design Package Shown.

+24

The 2024 Porsche 911 expertly fills the middle ground between touring and scintillating performance. The interior will likely divide opinion, but Porsche's push for modernity has been largely successful. Though it may have lost its evocative sound, the 911 hasn't lost its benchmark status.Read full review

What's new

New 911 S/T model debuts
Part of the eighth 911 generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Automakers like to claim that their car, truck or SUV is the best, but in most cases that claim falls short. But when it comes to the Porsche 911, calling it the best luxury sports car couldn't be more accurate. Other sports cars are more luxurious, offer better technology and are more affordable, but the 911 does the sports car part the best. It's a driving enthusiast's dream come true. In today's new car market, few cars feel like they are an extension of the driver. If the 911 could talk, it would urge you to drive it harder and faster, and you'd gladly comply thanks to the confidence it instills in you.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 6M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of N/A undefined in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: The 911's extensive lineup

There's a version of the 911 for just about everyone. You have a choice of a coupe, a convertible or a Targa with a power-retractable roof panel. Once you decide on the body style, there's a long list of trims to choose from. The base Carrera and Carrera S models are great for those who want a comfortable and quick daily driver. The GTS is more powerful and capable, but the Turbo models are the way to go if you want physics-defying acceleration. If you enjoy the occasional track day, go for a GT3 model. And there's the rally-inspired Dakar version with a lifted suspension and all-terrain tires. Porsche is even adding another model to the 911's lineup for 2024. The new 911 S/T combines bits of some of our favorite 911 models, namely the GT3 Touring's manual transmission and sleek styling with the 518-horsepower engine from the 911 GT3 RS. The 911 S/T will also be the lightest 911 in the lineup thanks to features like carbon-fiber bodywork, magnesium wheels and thinner windows.

Competitors to consider

If the Porsche 911 is out of your price range, or if you prefer a sports car with more luxury, tech and cargo space, check out one of its rivals. The larger BMW 8 Series provides more comfort and superior tech. If you want a more affordable sports car that drives exceptionally well, the Chevrolet Corvette should definitely be considered. Then there's the Aston Martin Vantage. It's not as good as the 911, but it's more exclusive and packs an amazing-sounding V8. For our test team's take on the Porsche 911, check out the thorough review in the Edmunds Expert Rating below.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

9.5/10

How does the 911 drive? We tested the 911 Carrera S with the PDK eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Acceleration is impressively rapid in any situation. The launch control mode is easy to activate, and with it we observed a 0-60 mph sprint of just 3.2 seconds. This car feels as if it can run at full throttle and high speeds all day.

The brakes are similarly impressive. Our test vehicle had the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, and they stopped our test car from 60 mph in a scant 97 feet. The brake feel and pedal effort are excellent for both casual and high-performance driving. Around turns, the 911 is so quick and precise that it feels as if it's tapped directly into the driver's mind. Even with all this capability, the 911 is an easy car to drive in everyday conditions thanks to its best-in-the-business PDK automatic transmission. The breadth of the 911's capabilities is nearly unrivaled at this price.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the 911? Overall comfort is impressive considering how much performance the 911 provides. The optional ventilated adaptive sport seats are agreeable even after several hours of driving, for instance. Our test vehicle had the optional sport suspension. With it, you'll feel every flaw in the road, but impacts are never harsh even when you're driving in Sport mode.

Road noise is more noticeable than in some rival sports cars, but it's not grating. The engine sounds rough and surprisingly unrefined at cold startup and doesn't really start sounding like a proper 911 flat-six until you get the revs high. Buyers new to the 911 might not mind, but returning customers will pine for the sound of older 911s.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The 911's cabin layout is delightfully familiar yet pleasingly modern. Compared to the previous-generation 911, there are more touchscreen controls and fewer physical buttons. Unfortunately, the touchscreen requires a bit of a reach to use, and pushing a desired virtual button can be a somewhat elusive task when you're driving over a bumpy road. The driving position is otherwise excellent.

The 911's cabin gives you the traditional snug sports-car experience, yet there's still plenty of space for taller passengers up front. Outward visibility is excellent. As usual, the rear seats are laughably small and better used for cargo than people, but you could argue that having them is better than not having any rear seats at all.

Build & Price

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? Porsche bills itself as a builder of driver's cars, making technology and infotainment secondary concerns. While some owners may appreciate that sentiment, we're sure more will be disappointed in both the execution and functionality of many of the 911's advanced features.

For example, many drivers will find the high-definition touchscreen and controller knob placed just out of reach and the on-screen buttons too small. Apple CarPlay with wireless connectivity is easier to use and has more natural voice controls than Porsche's native system. The standard audio system is truly disappointing — it sounds weak and suffers from terrible staging.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Because the engine occupies the rear half of the car, cargo space is restricted to a 4.6-cubic-foot bin under the hood. It's large enough for two soft-sided carry-on bags but not much else. You can use the rear seats for additional storage, but getting stuff in and out requires an awkward stoop and a tight squeeze. There's also not a lot of space for your personal items. The cupholders, pockets and bins are all small, so pack accordingly.

Want to take your new baby along for a ride? The car seat anchors are easy to find, but that's about the only good thing we can say. The lack of rear seat room means installing a child safety seat is very difficult. (The same goes for getting a child in or out.) If you really need a vehicle for family duty, the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan are obviously better suited.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the automatic-equipped Carrera S at 20 mpg combined, which is good for the class. As with any sports car, achieving those results is an exercise in restraint. On our best behavior, we only managed 16.4 mpg. On a racetrack, our results plummeted to a wastefully rewarding 6.6 mpg.

Value

8/10

Is the 911 a good value? The Carrera and Carrera S base pricing is right in there with sports car rivals, but you won't get nearly as many standard features as you would with the competition. At this price, competitors such as BMW M850i come almost fully loaded and still cost considerably less. Of course, the build quality is excellent, and Porsche offers nearly endless opportunities for personalization. In warranty coverage and ownership experience, it's comparable to the rest of the class.

Wildcard

10/10

When it comes to pure driving joy, the 911 Carrera S gets it right. It's very entertaining to drive and, even more important, it's easy to drive in a spirited manner. The impeccable steering and predictable handling encourage the driver to push a little harder, yet the 911 remains controllable if you overstep those boundaries.

Just as impressive as its outright performance is the 911's friendly demeanor in everyday situations. The 911 is perhaps a victim of its own success since its prevalence means it doesn't turn heads as much as some other sports cars. But it hasn't lost any of its style or desirability.

Which 911 does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the Carrera S. The 911 lineup consists of more models than a New York fashion show, but the Carrera S is a safe bet for most drivers because it delivers a good balance of performance, comfort and value.

Porsche 911 models

The 2024 Porsche 911 is offered in 26 different versions for 2024. Body styles include a coupe, a convertible and a Targa that has a power-retractable roof panel that splits the difference between a coupe and a convertible. Keep reading to see our experts' curated rundown of each model and highlights of the 911's standard and optional features.

The 911 lineup consists of:

Carrera
Carrera T
Carrera S
Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S
Targa 4 and Targa 4S
GTS and 4 GTS
Turbo and Turbo S
Dakar
GT3
S/T
GT3 RS

The majority of 911s are powered by a rear-mounted turbocharged flat-six engine. Depending on the 911 model, the engine drives the wheels through either a seven- or eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (Porsche's PDK). For those who prefer to row their own gears, six- and seven-speed manual transmissions are available on select 911s.

Carrera and Carrera 4
The base Carrera and Carrera 4 use a rear-mounted turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (379 horsepower, 331 lb-ft). The standard Carrera has rear-wheel drive, while the Carrera 4 (and other 4-badged models) comes with all-wheel drive. Standard feature highlights include:

Eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (Porsche's PDK)
Adaptive suspension
LED headlights
Keyless entry and ignition
Heated front seats with power-adjustable backrest and height
Partial leather upholstery
Two-zone automatic climate control
10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Navigation
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration (wireless connectivity for both)
Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Carrera T
Based on the standard Carrera, the T focuses on enhanced driver engagement by way of:

Standard seven-speed manual transmission (PDK optional)
Removal of rear seat (can be added back in)
Larger wheels
Lightweight glass
Reduced sound deadening
Torque-vectoring differential for improved traction
Sport Chrono package

Dash-mounted analog and digital chronograph
Steering wheel-mounted drive mode dial
Launch control
Active suspension mounts
Tire temperature display
Porsche Track Precision app

Sport suspension
Sport exhaust

Carrera S and Carrera 4S
Standard features are similar to those on the standard Carrera. But both the Carrera S and 4S get a significant bump in power, pushing output up to 443 hp and 390 lb-ft. They also get larger wheels, the torque-vectoring differential and the Sport Chrono package as standard.

Carrera Targa 4 and Targa 4S
The Targa 4 and 4S generally mirror the Carrera 4 and 4S, respectively, when it comes to performance, features and options. As with other 4-badged models, the Targa 4 and 4S come standard with all-wheel drive.

Carrera GTS and 4 GTS
The GTS trim fills the narrow gap between the S and Turbo models with yet another power increase (473 hp, 420 lb-ft). It is available as a coupe, convertible or in the Targa body style. Compared to a Carrera S, it additionally has:

Larger brakes
Sport suspension with a 10-mm lower ride height
Sport Chrono package
Track-related apps
Synthetic suede and carbon-fiber interior trim

More track-focused buyers may be interested in the Lightweight package that features:

Removal of rear seat
Lightweight glass
Reduced sound deadening
Rear-axle steering (improves high-speed stability and makes parking easier)
Lightweight battery

Turbo
The 911 Turbo's 3.8-liter six-cylinder produces 572 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, and the only available transmission is the PDK. Other highlights include:

Rear-axle steering
14-way adjustable sport seats
12-speaker Bose audio system
Active stabilizer bars
Front-axle lift system

Turbo S
Consider the Turbo S the king of the hill. Output rises to 640 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque and standard features include:

Carbon-ceramic brakes
18-way adjustable seats

Dakar
A special model with off-road hardware designed to honor the 911's 1984 win in the Dakar rally and celebrate its huge versatility. It shares output with the GTS models (473 hp, 420 lb-ft). All Dakar models are all-wheel-drive and use an eight-speed PDK transmission.

All-terrain tires
2-inch higher ground clearance, with a suspension that can raise the car an additional 1.2 inches as needed
Stainless steel guard built into front fascia
Two additional drive modes: Rally and Off-Road
Carbon-fiber hood and fixed rear spoiler
Standard rear-axle steering and active stabilizer bars
Optional Rally design package with:

White/blue two-tone paint with red and gold decals
Dakar wheels in white
Carbon-fiber rear spoiler upper section
Leather and synthetic suede interior
Black leather seats
Blue seat belts

GT3
The GT3 model strays from the rest of its stablemates with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder (502 hp, 346 lb-ft). While those power output figures are lower than the Turbo models, the GT3 has a narrower focus on track enjoyment. The GT3 also moves the carbon-ceramic brakes to the options column and transmissions lose a gear each (seven-speed PDK or six-speed manual). Upgrades include:

Ultra-high-performance tires
Race-inspired control-arm front suspension
Unique aerodynamic elements
Track-specific suspension adjustments
Similar Lightweight package treatments

Also available is a GT3 Touring model that ditches the massive rear wing for a less conspicuous appearance. The interior also receives some upgrades in materials used. The Touring model comes standard with the six-speed manual transmission.

GT3 RS
Is a regular GT3 too soft for you? All right, then maybe the RS will satisfy. It one-ups the GT3 by way of a slight boost in power (518 hp) plus:

Revised bodywork, including a massive rear wing, to add considerable downforce at speed
Carbon-fiber body panels
Standard seven-speed PDK transmission
Additional race-oriented suspension enhancements
Upgraded GT3 front brakes
Optional Weissach package with:

Additional panels and parts made from carbon fiber
Magnesium wheels

S/T
The limited-edition 911 S/T is essentially a GT3 Touring with the 518-horsepower engine from the GT3 RS. It's the only way to get that engine paired with a manual transmission. Features on the 911 S/T include:

Six-speed manual transmission
Standard magnesium wheels
Fixed-back carbon-fiber seats (adjustable seats are a no-cost option)
Rear-axle steering delete for weight savings
Optional Heritage Design package

Exclusive paint options
Throwback cloth and leather upholstery
Gold badges
Classic Porsche crests inside and out

From there, you can select from a long list of options, covering driver aids, upgraded interior trims and unique color options (inside and out). Depending on the 911 trim, notable picks include:

Custom paint colors
Different wheels
Upgraded leather upholstery
Upgraded seats
Heated steering wheel
Sunroof
Sport exhaust system
Larger fuel tank
Front-axle lift
Carbon-ceramic brakes
Active stabilizer bars (Porsche's PDCC)
Burmester sound system
Lane keeping assistance (steers the 911 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Porsche and the car in front)
Premium package

Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Bose audio system
Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the 911 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Ventilated front seats
Power-folding mirrors
Ambient interior lighting

U-DRAG RACE: Porsche 911 Turbo S vs. Kawasaki Ninja H2 R Sport Bike | Quarter Mile, Handling, More!

Welcome back to Edmunds U-Drags, our series of down-and-back drag races that incorporate a standing quarter mile, handling, and a rolling start all in one race! You asked, and we listened: In this episode, we finally get our hands on a glorious Porsche 911 Turbo S. But what could possibly outrun the 911’s insane acceleration? Meet the uber-fast Kawasaki Ninja H2 R sport…

Porsche 911 vs. BMW 8 Series

The 8 Series is BMW's biggest and baddest coupe and convertible. It's also available as a sedan as well. The M850i model and Carrera S provide similar performance, but the Porsche will set you back more. If you want more power, the 617-horsepower M8 delivers more than enough. It's priced like the 911 GTS and is about as quick. However, these luxury sports cars were bred for different purposes. The 8 Series is more of a comfortable grand tourer than a sports car. The 911 is instead one of the best-handling sports cars out there, but it's also a great grand tourer.

Compare Porsche 911 & BMW 8 Series features

Porsche 911 vs. Chevrolet Corvette

The Corvette currently tops the 911 in our rankings because it provides superior tech, more cargo space and excellent ride comfort and it's much more affordable. But that could change once we test the 2024 911. The Corvette delivers exemplary performance, handling and power for the price. The mid-mounted 490-horsepower V8 and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission blasted it to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds when we tested it, and averaged an impressive 21.8 mpg on our mixed-driving evaluation route. For 2023, Chevrolet added the bonkers 670-hp Z06. The 911's top models should be wary of this insanely skilled monster.

Compare Porsche 911 & Chevrolet Corvette features

Porsche 911 vs. Aston Martin Vantage

If you don't want to be one of the many 911s driving around town or don't care for the Porsche's conservative look, the alluring Vantage might be the luxury sports car for you. Its beautiful design and vicious-sounding V8 will turn more heads than a 911, and you won't see many others on the road. Its starting price is more than a 911 GTS and almost as much as a GT3, but it doesn't drive nearly as well and isn't as quick or as comfortable as the 911. And when it comes to tech, it's lacking and outdated. On the plus side, the Aston is very customizable and surprisingly fuel-efficient for a high-end luxury sports car.
