Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is a direct competitor to the more powerful rivals such as the Lexus LC 500 Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Coupe. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport coupe is also a potential rival with a more affordable price tag. With standalone trim, the 911 Carrera starts off at an MSRP of $91,100. It is offered with a 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-6 and a default 7-speed manual transmission or an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, producing 370 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the 911 Carrera manages a 0-60 of 4.2 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG.

Buying Advice

The Porsche 911 Carrera is an amazing car when it comes to looks or driving ability. However, it offers very few standard convenience features. Hence, we suggest the Premium Package Plus with 18-Way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus.
