Design and Features
While the silhouette of the car remains unchanged, the 911 facelift boasts several updates. Notably, it now offers multiple new alloy wheel options, ranging from 19 to 21 inches. The GTS version features wider wheels for improved dynamics. At the rear, the connected light design—a signature of the 992 generation—adds a touch of modernity. Active air ducts, diffusers, a new radar, spoiler, and ultrasonic sensors contribute to the car’s enhanced appearance. The OLED tail lights also play a role in the subtle design changes.
Performance and Powertrains
The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer engine, delivering 394 horsepower and 450 Nm of peak torque. An 8-speed PDK transmission transfers power to the rear wheels, while Porsche Active Suspension Management ensures precise handling. Braking duties are handled by 6-piston aluminum monoblock fixed brake calipers at the front and 4-piston brake calipers at the rear.

The Carrera 4 GTS employs an all-wheel-drive system with rear-axle steering and PASM Sport Suspension. Additionally, it comes equipped with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, featuring variable electronically controlled rear differential lock and variable torque distribution.
