First 911 with a Fully Digital Instrument Cluster – While the 992-generation 911 Carrera retains a traditional analog tachometer, it features a fully digital instrument cluster for a modern and customizable driving experience.
Wider Body Across All Models – Unlike previous generations, where only all-wheel-drive (AWD) models had wider bodies, the 992 Carrera features a wider stance on both RWD and AWD variants, improving handling and stability.
Turbocharged Flat-Six Across the Lineup – The 992 Carrera is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, producing 379 hp (385 PS) in the base Carrera and 444 hp (450 PS) in the Carrera S.
First Carrera to Offer an 8-Speed PDK Transmission – The dual-clutch PDK transmission now has 8 speeds instead of 7, enhancing both fuel efficiency and acceleration performance.
0-100 km/h in Just 4.2 Seconds (Base Model) – The standard Carrera accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds, while the Carrera S does it in 3.7 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package.
First 911 with a Hybrid-Ready Platform – Porsche designed the 992 generation with space for a hybrid system, though no hybrid Carrera model has been released yet. A hybrid 911 is expected in future updates.
Wet Mode for Better Grip in Rain – The 992 Carrera features an innovative "Wet Mode", which detects water on the road and automatically adjusts traction control and stability settings for improved safety.
Active Aerodynamics for Improved Efficiency – The 992 has an active rear spoiler that adjusts at different speeds, optimizing downforce and drag reduction for both performance and fuel efficiency.
Upgraded Infotainment System – The 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, real-time navigation, and over-the-air updates, bringing the 911 into the modern tech era.
Still Built in Zuffenhausen, Germany – Like every 911 since 1964, the 992 Carrera is manufactured in Porsche’s historic Zuffenhausen plant, keeping its heritage alive with every new generation.

The 992-generation 911 Carrera represents the pinnacle of Porsche's evolution, blending classic rear-engine dynamics with cutting-edge tech like rear-axle steering and a twin-turbo 3.0L flat-six (385–450hp).
With the hybrid 992.2 coming soon, the pure-combustion 992 is poised to become a future classic.
