Overview

The 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in two trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $84,300. For that price, it mainly competes with the Jaguar XK Coupe and the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe. Available as a standalone trim option, the 911 Carrera Coupe offers a single powertrain. It is a 3.4L flat-6 engine making 350 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 7-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Carrera Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.4 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 3.8 seconds with the automatic transmission. Depending on the drivetrain, the 911 Carrera Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 23 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the 911 Carrera Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We think the top-level Carrera 4 with an all-wheel drive system seems like the perfect deal if you are planning to buy a 911 Carrera. Feature-wise, it adds dual-zone automatic climate control, a nine-speaker audio system, heated mirrors, four-way adjustable power seats, and automatic bi-xenon headlights.
