Overview

The 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $151,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi R8 Coupe, the Nissan GT-R Coupe, and the Aston Martin Vantage S Coupe. Between two trims, the 911 Turbo Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.8L turbocharged flat-6 engine making 520 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 560 horsepower-making version of the same engine available in the Turbo S trim. Both engines are mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Turbo Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 3.2 seconds with the base engine which gets pumped up to 2.9 seconds in the Turbo S. Both versions manage a combined fuel economy of 20 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 14 striking colors the 911 Turbo Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Unlike other supercars in its class, Porsche throws in two trims to opt for. Considering the features offered for the price, the top-level Turbo S trim is the real deal here. Not does it offer a tweaked version of the same engine but also adds some desirable features such as the LED headlights with 10-way power-adjustable front seats, automatic high-beam control, ceramic-composite brake rotors, active stabilizer bars, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and carbon-fiber interior trim.
