What’s New in the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera
A Heritage Reimagined
The 2026 Carrera continues the 992 .2 generation with its signature rear-engined, twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter flat‑six. The base Carrera churns out a spirited 388 hp—enough to reach 0–60 mph in just about 3.9 s (3.7 s with the Sport Chrono Package)—and tops out around 183 mph
What’s Fresh for 2026
1. New AWD “S” Variants
Porsche reintroduces all‑wheel‑drive for the Carrera lineup. The Carrera 4S coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa 4S join the family, packing 473 hp—a 30 hp jump over their predecessors—and debut enhanced brakes and chassis refinements
2. Refined Handling & Chassis
Every Carrera features upgraded PASM Sport suspension (10 mm lower), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, and optional PDCC. The lineup offers GTS-derived brakes—including optional ceramic discs—for superior stopping power and agility
3. Smarter Infotainment
The 2026 model receives a faster infotainment system with an App Center, Dolby Atmos audio, Amazon Alexa, and more USB‑C charging power—plus added leather by default and roof prep for racks
