The Porsche 911 Carrera S 2025 arrives in the 992.2 generation with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, now offering 473 hp and maintaining 54 kgfm of torque.

Although more powerful than its predecessor, it has lost the option for a manual transmission and is now only available with the eight-speed PDK automatic transmission. Those still looking for a car with a manual gearbox can opt for the GT3 or Carrera T models.

The Carrera S is available in coupe versions starting at $148,395 and convertible versions starting at $161,595, both with price increases of over $15,000 compared to previous models.

In addition to more power, the Carrera S brings design updates and performance improvements. The front has received larger air intakes, while the rear has a more integrated design with the traditional continuous light strip. The sport exhaust system, brakes inherited from the previous GTS model, and new shock absorbers enhance drivability and comfort.

The car also features larger wheels and optional systems such as rear axle steering and the PASM sport suspension, which lowers the ride height by 0.4 inches, making it more agile and responsive.

Inside, the model now has more leather-covered surfaces and can be personalized with up to 48 two-tone combinations. Standard features include a heated steering wheel, wireless charger, and drive mode controls on the steering wheel.

Despite the price increase, the Carrera S offers more features and maintains its iconic performance with a top speed of 307 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 96 km/h in 3.1 seconds with the Sport Chrono package. First deliveries are expected in spring 2025.
