Overview
The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is a midsize coupe offered as a standalone trim with a base MSRP of $89,400. For that price, it competes with more affordable rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe, and the BMW 6 Series Coupe. The 911 Carrera offers a 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-6 engine which makes 370 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 7-speed manual transmission and an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Carrera reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.4 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 4.2 seconds with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the 911 Carrera can manage a combined fuel economy between 23 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the 911 Carrera comes in really pull you towards itself.
