Overview

The 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is a midsize coupe offered as a single trim, starting off at a base MSRP of $84,300. For that price, it mainly competes with the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe and the Jaguar F-TYPE S Coupe. Available as a single trim, 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 4.6 seconds regardless of the transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the 911 Carrera Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 23 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 15 striking colors the 911 Carrera Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is an exceptionally well-made driver’s car. It is the standalone base trim in the 911 lineup while there are multiple powertrains and options to choose from. We recommend getting the 7-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission along with the all-wheel-drivetrain for better response times and improved traction.
