2024 Porsche 911 Review

The 2024 Porsche 911, like its long line of predecessors, is one of the very finest sports cars in the world and a benchmark all rivals aspire to beat. The 911 has evolved slowly but steadily over the decades, with the once-edgy handling dictated by a rear-engined configuration long since tamed and with almost all versions now getting turbo power.

Every 911 has been built with a flat-six engine, and even the least powerful 911 Carrera now makes 379 hp from its turbocharged 3.0-liter motor. At the other end of the range, the mighty Turbo S now makes a huge 640 hp. Coupe, cabriolet, and Targa roof configurations are offered, and so are rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive on most variants – and Porsche still offers the chance to specify a manual gearbox in place of the double-clutch PDK transmission.

Aside from the regular 911 line, Porsche’s Motorsport Division also offers its own super-special models including the GT3 RS and limited 911 S/T – these still offer high-revving naturally aspirated engines, track-honed dynamics, and an even more scintillating driving experience.

Pros

  • All versions are great to drive
  • Breadth of range gives lots of choice
  • Motorsport Division cars are instant classics

Cons

  • Limited practicality – Coupe is a 2+2 rather than a true four-seater
  • Expensive options and limited standard equipment on cheaper versions
  • Infotainment system lacks smarts
