2025 Porsche 911 Coupe Trims Comparison

The 911 lineup consists of:

• Carrera and Carrera 4
• Carrera T
• Targa 4 GTS
• GTS and 4 GTS
• Turbo and Turbo S
• Turbo 50 Years
• GT3 and GT3 with Touring Package
• GT3 RS
• S/T

The majority of 911s are powered by a rear-mounted turbocharged flat-six engine. Depending on the 911 model, the engine drives the wheels through either a seven-speed or eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (Porsche's PDK). For those who prefer to row their own gears, a six-speed manual transmission is available on select 911s. 4-badged models have all-wheel drive.

Carrera and Carrera 4
The base Carrera uses a rear-mounted turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (388 horsepower, 331 lb-ft). The standard Carrera has rear-wheel drive, while the Carrera 4 (and other 4-badged models) comes with all-wheel drive. Standard feature highlights include:

• 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with performance summer tires

Carrera GTS and 4 GTS
The GTS trim fills the gap between the S and Turbo models.

The combined output of the system is 532 hp and 449 lb-ft. It's available as a coupe, convertible or in the Targa body style. The GTS doesn't have the light-weight modifications or the six-speed manual of the Carrera T, but it shares its performance upgrades and adds:

Carrera Targa 4 GTS
The Targa 4 GTS generally mirrors the Carrera 4 GTS, respectively, when it comes to performance, features and options.

As with other 4-badged models, the Targa 4 GTS has all-wheel drive.

Turbo
The 911 Turbo's 3.8-liter six-cylinder produces 572 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, and the only available transmission is the eight-speed PDK. The Turbo comes equipped with the GTS' performance upgrades (including the Sport Chrono package) and adds:

• Adaptive suspension (not adaptive sport suspension)
• Lightweight battery
• 14-way adjustable sport seats with driver's seat memory settings

GT3
The rear-drive GT3 model strays from the rest of its stablemates with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder (502 hp, 331 lb-ft). While it puts out less power than the Turbo models, the GT3 has a narrower focus on track enjoyment. The GT3 also moves the carbon-ceramic brakes to the options column and is available with a seven-speed PDK or six-speed manual. The GT3 shares performance features from the Turbo S and adds:

• 20-inch front and 21-inch rear lightweight aluminum wheels

The interior also receives some upgrades in materials used and rear seats are optional. The Touring Package also replaces the regular GT3's track-specific chassis with a less track-focused version. A Lightweight package is optional; it includes most of the features from the Weissach package.

GT3 RS
