Here’s How Much Sheer Variety the Porsche 911 Lineup Offers

Spice of Life

The Porsche 911 - now celebrating more than 60 years in existence - is easily one of the most iconic nameplates in automotive history already. This is extra notable because historically speaking, sports cars don't typically hang around for that long, though Porsche has taken great measures to keep the 911 in the front of our minds over the past several decades. That includes expanding its lineup vastly, to the point where there's quite literally a 911 for everyone - and that goes for the 2024 model year as well, perhaps more so than ever before.

Carrera

First up, we have the entry-level 911 of sorts, which is labeled as the Carrera. Of course, even the base 911 is a fantastic machine that has plenty of driving enjoyment to offer prospective owners. With a starting price tag of $114,400, the Carrera can be had in multiple forms as well - including the regular coupe, the more focused Carrera T, Carrera Cabriolet, the all-wheel drive Carrera 4, the more powerful Carrera S, and the even more potent Carrera GTS. Its turbocharged flat-six churns out 379 horsepower in base form, which propels it from 0-60 in four seconds flat - plenty fast for carving up canyon roads, we'd say.

Targa

Then there's the iconic Targa, a design that was originally derived to provide a safer alternative to traditional convertibles. Today, the Porsche 911 Targa continues to be offered in multiple forms as well, including Targa 4 and 4S configurations, with a starting price tag of $134,500.

Turbo

The Turbo has long existed as the ultimate in terms of straight-line performance for the 911 lineup, and that still rings true today. The current 911 Turbo can be had in regular coupe or convertible form, while those who crave more power and performance can spend a bit more than the base price of $197,200 and get it in the Turbo S coupe and Cabriolet.

GT

For those that prefer a more traditional, old-school, analog driving experience over sheer straight-line performance, the GT lineup has long been a favorite. Along with the GT3 and GT3 Touring (which doesn't have the large wing present on the regular model), customers can also opt for the bonkers, track monster known as the GT3 RS, too, though it can't be paired with a manual transmission. Prices for this range start out at $182,900 for the base GT3.

Special Editions

Finally, we have the 911 special edition models, of which there are a couple of intriguing options to choose from at the moment. That list currently includes the off-road-focused Dakar, which starts out at $222,000, along with the lightweight, GT3-powered, manual transmission-equipped S/T, which costs $290,000 - for the lucky few that can get one, at least.
