Porsche 911 2026

Porsche 911 2026

Our most recent review of the 2026 Porsche 911 resulted in a score of 8.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Chris Thompson had this to say at the time: If you find yourself with the means - regardless of how many options boxes you tick - the only incorrect way to enjoy a 911 would be to deprive it of a fast, twisty rural road. Any road of the sort will do.

This is what Chris Thompson liked most about this particular version of the Porsche 911: Sublime handling, Timeless styling, Easy to gel with

Porsche 911 2026 Engine

The Porsche 911 is powered by a flat-six engine mounted at the rear of the car, though its size and outputs depend on the variant. The Coupe, Cabriolet and Targa body styles of each badge variant have the same drivetrain.

The base 911 Carrera has a 3.0-litre turbo flat-six that produces 290kW and 450Nm, sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch auto transmission. The Carrera T has the same engine but a six-speed manual transmission, also powering the rear wheels.

The rear-drive Carrera S and all-wheel drive Carrera 4S are more powerful, the 3.0-litre turbo flat-six good for 353kW and 530Nm and sent to the wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch auto transmission.

The 911 GTS models have a hybrid-assisted and turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six that makes 398kW and 610Nm, also dual-clutch only and powering either the rear or all four wheels.

The GT3 can be had with the same transmission choices, driving the rear wheels, but powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six that makes 375kW and 450Nm.

Porsche 911 2026 Interior

The Porsche 911 is focused almost entirely on the driving experience, with little in the way of comfort and convenience features. Most 911s have small storage spaces, small screens and minimal room, with most of the car's controls related to on-road functions.

Its more focused variants, like the GT3, are even less comfort-oriented, with even six-point racing seatbelts included.

Porsche 911 2026 FAQs

Best Porsche 911 for $40,000

You're in pretty safe territory with the Porsche, they're soundly engineered and well built. They give little trouble if they're properly serviced, although the cost of servicing can be high. It's a good idea to cosy up to a Porsche specialist for repairs and servicing to save a few bucks. Go for a car that might be a little older but in good condition rather than a later one that has been round the block a few times.

Porsche 911 2026 Speed

There are numerous variants of the 911 with different power outputs and bodystyles that affect their acceleration. The standard 911 Carrera Coupe, for example, reaches 100km/h in 4.1 seconds according to Porsche, with a 294km/h top speed. The convertible Cabriolet variant is slower, 4.3 seconds and 291km/h.

The Carrera T (with a manual transmission) takes 4.5 seconds with a similar 295km/h top speed. The Cabriolet version comes with 4.7sec and 293km/h figures. 

The Carrera S is more powerful and takes 3.5 seconds and has a 308km/h top speed - both the same figures apply to the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4S. Both come as a Cabriolet with 3.7sec acceleration figures. The 4S with a Targa roof is also the same.

The rear-drive 911 GTS and all-wheel-drive 4 GTS both take 3.0sec flat with a 312km/h top speed, the drop-top and Targa versions being a tenth slower to 100km/h.

Finally, the hardcore GT3 takes 3.4 seconds to hit 100km/h with a 311km/h top speed, or 3.9 seconds and 313km/h with a Touring Package.

Porsche 911 2026 Seats

Almost all variants of the Porsche 911 come with four seats in a 2+2 layout - the rear passengers must climb in behind the front seats. The 911 GT3 and GT2 RS (when available) are two-seaters with rollcages in the back instead.

Porsche 911 2026 Accessories

The 911 has a very basic level of tech included when it comes to multimedia and comfort, with a narrow but wide 10.9-inch touchscreen for controls and multimedia and a 12.65-inch curved driver display.

Many features of the 911 are optional, with different wheel designs, seats, materials and trim choices available.

Standard from the entry-grade Carrera upwards are Matrix LED headlights, staggered 19- and 20-inch wheels (front and rear respectively), electrically adjustable sports seats, a multifunction steering wheel and a Bose surround sound system.

Porsche 911 2026 Boot Space

The Porsche 911 has a 135-litre front luggage compartment under the bonnet, as the engine sits at the rear.

Porsche 911 2026 Range

The Porsche 911 has a 63-litre fuel tank, which requires premium (at least 95 RON, but best use 98) fuel. Most variants have a claimed fuel consumption of more than 10 litres per 100km, meaning getting any more than 600km on a tank is out of the question.

The base 911 Carrera Coupe has a 10.6L/100km under the combined cycle (theoretically a 594km range), while the 911 GT3 has a 13.6L/100km claim (for a 463km on paper).

Of course, achieving these fuel consumption claims requires lab-like conditions and very careful driving, so a sports car is unlikely to get close.
