our expert's take

Vehicle Overview

Porsche’s iconic 911 has existed in various forms since 1963. Available in coupe, Targa and convertible body styles, the legendary sports car competes against the Audi R8, Nissan GT-R and Chevrolet Corvette.
New for 2016
Two new variants are available: the 911 Targa 4 GTS and the high-performance 911 GT3 RS.
(Skip to details on the: 911 GT3 RS)
Significant Standard Features

  • 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six-cylinder engine
  • Seven-speed manual transmission
  • Rear-wheel drive
  • Required in every new car: front airbags, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system

Significant Available Features

  • Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
  • All-wheel drive
  • 400-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six-cylinder (S)
  • 430-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six-cylinder (GTS)
  • 475-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six-cylinder (GT3)
  • 520-hp, twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six-cylinder (Turbo)
  • 560-hp, twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six-cylinder (Turbo S)

911 GT3 RS
Not content with the performance of the Turbo and Turbo S models, Porsche introduced the 911 GT3 RS for 2016. Porsche claims it has the “maximum amount of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 suitable for daily driving.”
What’s Special

  • 500-hp, 4.0-liter flat-six-cylinder engine
  • Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
  • Lightweight components made of magnesium and carbon fiber
  • Zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, according to Porsche

  • Carbon fiber bucket seats

    Loved my 991.2S, I did blow up the engine which was covered under warranty. Really one of the most fun cars I have ever had close call with the 781S.

  • Not the most reliable car I've ever owned.

    Porsche GT3 is a tremendously powerful car, fun to drive spirited or just cruising around, although the ride is stiff it's not back breaking. Maintenance costs are very high tires equally so, and reliability can be iffy.

  • Best built car for the money

    This car, a 911 C4S Cabriolet, is nothing short of amazing. I have owned and driven other Porsches, but this is the most solid feeling car I have ever driven. It is as if you are driving a bank vault! The features, engineering, and styling put the car in a class by itself.

  • NEVER GETS OLD! 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera 4

    I have had my 911 Carrera 4 Black Edition for the last 27 months. The build quality and fit and finish is impeccable. The performance is sublime. The sound of the flat 6 is intoxicating. The acceleration is almost too much for public roads, and the handling, well the handling turns every on/off ramp into an amusement park thrill ride! You can stand on the accelerator all day and still average 24 mpg. And if you want to have a conversation on the excellent hands free blue tooth system simply drive " normally" without the sport mode engaged while enjoying heated and cooled leather seats. This car is an exotic that you can use as a daily driver. If there is such a thing as a "practical" sports car, this is it! It can be calm one minute and crazy the next, like a mistress who keeps you on your toes...this car NEVER GETS OLD!

  • One of the best cars on the road

    The performance of this vehicle is bar-none. Having owner many performance cars. Nothing even comes close to a Porsche. The power, performance and the sheer build of this car clearly shows attention to detail. The fit and finish compares to anything on the planet.

  • Puts a smile on your face

    This car offers tremendous quality and performance for the money, especially if you find a low-mileage, pre-owned one. I chose the 4S model but any of them are great. Unbelievable glued to the road feeling. Some tire noise but you have to expect that with this type of car.

  • It's the best of both road & track worlds

    The 2016 911 GTS 3.8L big block is going to be a collector car. It also has the creature comforts along with being a beast with a push of a button or two. It's the perfect performer for the pure enthusiast who likes the finer things in life.

  • Porsche GT3RS; Best car ever made

    By far my favorite car that I have ever purchased, perfectly defines drivers car. I buy sports car because of the way they make me feel, I think thats way everyone buys sports cars. But this car makes me feel things I never have in any other car. Out of all the Ferraris, McLarens, Lamborghinis I've driven and or had this car tops them all! Super sharp and responsive the car feels almost as if it is an extension me, it feels as if it can read your mind. You get the whole race car experience but with a car you can drive everyday when it's nice out. I am and always will be a Porsche fanatic and this car is the perfect example of what Porsche can do and what a car can be!
