A six-decade-long production history and track-focused performance place the 911 among the most influential sports cars in automotive history. Its latest iteration, the 2025 Porsche 911, offers 0-to-60-mph times as low as 2.9 seconds, dream-like handling, and several state-of-the-art performance-enhancing technologies.
Discover the 2025 Porsche 911: Iconic Performance
Zippy Acceleration
Although straight-line speed is only a small part of what makes the 911 iconic, the sports car houses a 3.0L twin-turbocharged flat-six that enables drivers to explode off the line. The engine redlines at 7,500 rpm and cranks out a vigorous 388 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. Putting all the flat-six horses to the pavement via available launch control, the sports car reaches 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
Purists seeking a true speed demon can take their pick between the Carrera GTS and the Carrera 4 GTS trims. Both models feature a 3.6L flat six with hybrid assistance, generating a net 532 hp and 449 lb-ft of torque and allowing the sports car to hit 60 mph in a frantic 2.9 seconds. On the track, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS rockets past the quarter-mile mark in 11.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 194 mph.
Dual-Clutch Transmission
The 911 comes equipped with an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which is Porsche’s in-house-developed dual-clutch transmission for lightning-fast gear changes. For regular day-to-day driving, the PDK functions similarly to an automatic transmission, removing the hassle of shifting while navigating traffic congestion in cities. However, drivers can take full control of the vehicle’s gear changes in an instant by switching to manual mode.
The Carrera GTS and Carrera 4 GTS models are equipped with a variant of the PDK that features an electric motor. This system flattens the torque curve, giving drivers a satisfying throttle response even at low rpm. When Recuperation mode is engaged, the motor converts the vehicle’s excess kinetic energy into electricity to charge the battery.
Silky-Smooth Handling
No sports car handles the grace of a Porsche 911. A combination of a rear-engine layout, skillfully engineered chassis, and RWD allows the vehicle to turn like an extension of the driver’s body.
Other mechanisms that improve the 911’s maneuverability include an available Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport Suspension, which provides excellent lateral stiffness and a lowered ride height, and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) Plus, which reduces the turn radius by applying varying amounts of brake pressure to the rear wheels. The sports car also offers available rear-axle steering for improved maneuverability at low speeds.
