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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
