The 2023 Porsche 911 is a legend among driving enthusiasts, and for a good reason. For 60 years, the 911 formula has remained true to form, as has the car’s signature shape.
Porsche now offers no fewer than 25 versions of the 911, including convertible Cabriolet, Targa, and all-wheel-drive (denoted by the number 4 after the name) iterations. Add a few limited-edition models, such as the new dirt-ready 911 Dakar, and the list of choices seems nearly endless.
Also new for 2023 is an enthusiast-oriented Porsche 911 Carrera T. Designed with the purist in mind, the T loses its rear seat, adds a 7-speed manual transmission, and pilfers the Carrera S for its adaptive suspension and torque-vectoring technology.
Also worth noting are the low-volume production models, mainly intended for track use. They include the 518-horsepower GT3 RS ($223,800) and 543-hp 911 Sport Classic ($272,300), which is a retuned 911 Turbo with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and a manual transmission.
2023 Porsche 911 Carrera: $106,100
The price listed above applies to the base Carrera RWD coupe. Pricing for the other models in the Carrera family is as follows:

The standard transmission is an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic in all but the Carrera T, which gets a 7-speed manual with the 8-speed automatic optional.
The Carrera rides on staggered wheels, 19 inches in front and 20 in the rear. Porsche’s active suspension management (PASM) system comes standard, as does an auto-deploying rear spoiler, heated power side mirrors, auto on/off LED headlights, and Comfort Access keyless entry with push-button start.
The 911 isn’t big on high-tech driver-assist equipment, but it does include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, and a federally required rear backup camera.
Interior amenities include partial leather-covered and heated manual Sport Seats (with power recline), cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with paddle shifters.
The Carrera’s infotainment system consists of a 10.9-inch color touchscreen playing host to Porsche navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and numerous Porsche-connected services.
The standard audio consists of a 150-watt amp driving eight speakers.
Now comes the fun part. Options.
Porsche offers hundreds of possible configurations. There are standard and custom paint options, various kinds of leather and Sport-Tex seat upholstery, upgraded wheels, and even the option to pick up your car at Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta or Los Angeles or the European factory.
Some of the more notable upgrades include 14-way power Sport Seats, 18-way adaptive Sport Seats, a carbon-fiber roof, a power sunroof (coupe), a 13-speaker Burmester audio system, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and night vision.
Check the box for the Premium Package with Remote ParkAssist, and you’ll get adaptive headlights, a Surround View monitor, lane-change assist, ventilated front seats, power-folding side mirrors, and Remote ParkAssist.
Included with Remote ParkAssist is a feature that lets you enter or leave a parking space using a smartphone app. The system can also self-parallel or -perpendicular park.
On the performance front, buyers can add a front axle lift system (keeps the front spoiler from scraping on speed bumps or steeply angled driveways), the Sport Chrono Package, an extended range fuel tank, a performance exhaust, and ceramic-composite brakes.
With the $1,450 destination charge, the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera comes to $107,550. On a 60-month loan at 3% financing and zero down, the monthly payment works out to approximately $1,933. See 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera models for sale near you

Optional equipment for the Carrera S mimics that of the Carrera, except for the ability to add a 7-speed manual transmission, a 10-millimeter-lower suspension, LED-matrix headlights, and rear-axle steering.

- 473 hp – Tweaks to the 3.0-liter engine give the GTS an edge over the Carrera S, with a 0–60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds.
- Lowered suspension – Being 10 millimeters closer to the road lessens body roll and helps the GTS corner with added confidence.

The package also contains additional drive modes such as Sport Plus and Sport Response, active driveline mounts, launch control, and a racetrack app.

- Rear-axle steering – By turning the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels at low speeds, the Turbo delivers more precise turn-in. At higher speeds, the rear wheels point in the same direction as the front wheels, improving stability in sweeping bends.
- Dynamic engine mounts – Magnetic fluid-filled engine mounts stiffen as the car enters a curve, reducing the outward force generated by the engine’s mass.
2023 Porsche 911 Turbo S: $216,100 (Coupe), $228,900 (Cabriolet)

2023 Porsche 911 GT3 includes:

- Available 3D-printed seats – Designed to hold your body, these single-piece seats can be tailored to be soft, medium, or hard.
