2021 Porsche 911 Carrera
Overview
Like every evolution of the 911, the 2021 embodies everything that Porsche stands for: timeless design, unparalleled performance, and innovative technology. This 8th generation masterpiece is certainly living up to expectations. In true Porsche fashion, the automaker drew on inspiration from the previous generations, while injecting a modern twist on the 911’s fluid body lines, low center of gravity, and wide stance. The design oozes luxury and class, while hinting at the monster lurking beneath the sculpted body. Up front, the 911 is dominated by a wide grille that gives the car an aggressive appearance, while still maintaining a classic Porsche aesthetic. The rear of the 2021 911 sports an eye-catching rear taillight design, which will be appreciated by others when you blaze past them. And just wait until you find out about the 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera's performance.
The Perfect Ride For...
The refined enthusiast. The 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera is humble enough to drive every day, but the guttural performance delivers miles of joy that can only be found behind the wheel of a Porsche. The automaker harnessed the brute strength of the twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine and built around it a vehicle that could not only manage the power but channel it perfectly. This generation of the 911 Carrera offers a delicate balance of luxury and performance that makes it peerless. Porsche has injected its finest technology, research, and attention-to-detail into the 911 Carrera, and as a result, this generation could be the best modern 911 yet.
Drive & Handling
It just wouldn’t be a Porsche 911 without jaw-dropping performance. Even the base model is anything but slow. The twin-turbocharged boxer 6 sits in the rear of the 911 and produces a heart-pounding 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. The engine features an integrated dry-sump lubrication system and expansion intake manifold to ensure that both the oil and air are perfectly supplied to this high-performance engine.
Add in some 4-piston calipers in the front and rear, as well as stiff but pliable suspension that was built for taking corners and you nearly have a street-legal race car, but with all the comforts of a modern car. When you step up to the 911 Carrera S, you enjoy the same powerplant with an incredible 443 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. That’s 7.7 pounds per horsepower, which translates into giddy levels of excitement every time you touch the throttle.
Porsche employed several systems to harness the handling capabilties of the 911 Carrera. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is an electronic damping system that can detect driving style and road conditions, and automatically adjust the suspension to match your needs. Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is constantly working to maintain stability by selectively applying the brakes to indivudual wheels as needed. The automatic brake differential and anti-slip regulation work in concert with the PSM to promote driver confidence and stability through corners.
