Overview

The 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With 2 trims on offer, the Porsche 911 Carrera has a base MSRP of $91,100, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $98,000, competing directly with the Mercedes-Benz AMG-GT, the Nissan GT-R, and the BMW M8. Only a 3.0-Liter Twin-Turbocharged Boxer-6 engine is offered, mated to either a 7-speed manual transmission or a PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 370 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the Porsche 911 Carrera maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Porsche offers the 911 Carrera in 13 stunning colors, with the Lava Orange being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

If you're looking for enhanced performance and all-weather capability, one of the all-wheel-drive models is a better choice. Thus, we recommend the Carrera 4 model as it comes with an all-wheel-drive setup that makes it the most involving 911 Carrera to drive. Moreover, if you want a highly sporty performance and added convenience, the Sport Chrono and Premium packages are worth the extra money.
