Overview

The 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $77,800. For that price, it mainly competes with the Jaguar XK Coupe and the less expensive Chevrolet Corvette Coupe. Available in 2-trim options, the 911 Carrera Coupe offers a single powertrain option. Starting off is a 3.6L flat-6 engine making 345 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Carrera Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.1 seconds with the high-powered engine. Depending on the drivetrain, the 911 Carrera Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy of between 21 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the 911 Carrera Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Porsche offers all two trims with plenty of features and an available AWD. However, we recommend the Carrera 4 trim for the standard AWD along with power-reclining front seats, a steel sunroof, cruise control, automatic climate control, etc.
