Body types
Carrera
The heart of the Porsche brand and the global epitome of the sports car - a unique overall concept that combines iconic design and a high level of sportiness: The Carrera has a broad, self-confident and muscular stance. The long trunk lid with a striking recess in front of the windshield stretches the front end and gives the 911 a dynamic look. The rear section with its strong indentations and low end is also an archetypal feature of the 911 Carrera. The 2+2 seating concept and the front luggage compartment always offer maximum suitability for everyday use. The name comes from the Carrera Panamericana, a Mexican endurance race in which Porsche achieved great success with the 550 Spyder.
Turbo
The 911 Turbo combines sportiness with everyday usability, emotionality with reliability and dynamism with efficiency. A distinguishing feature that has characterised the 911 Turbo since the first model is the rear fenders with their particularly powerful design. The strongly pronounced front apron with its black airblades deflects any headwind. The variable front spoiler also ensures adaptive aerodynamics by being able to extend low. Process air is drawn in via the 911 Turbo-typical air inlets in the rear side panels. Consistent lightweight construction is used for the rear wing: the striking Turbo feature has a large effective surface despite its low weight. Overall, the rear of the 911 Turbo is powerful and precisely designed. Straightforward, with a clear horizontal alignment.
Model designations
The “4” in the model designation stands for models with all-wheel drive.
The letter T stands for “Touring” and describes models that offer a particularly purist driving experience with reduced but particularly sporty equipment.
At Porsche, S stands for “Sport”: a more powerful version which, in addition to the extra sporty engine, also includes improvements in equipment compared to the basic model.
GTS refers to a further improvement of the S models with even more power and expanded equipment.
A turbo is the top model, the limit of what is possible, a technological pioneer. The fully electric Taycan and Macan in particular show that the type designation is no longer tied to the use of an exhaust turbocharger. Turbo does not stand for a technology here, but rather identifies the most powerful variants.
GT refers to the extremely sporty version of the basic model, built for motorsport, approved for the road.
RS identifies the further enhanced versions of the GT models – the maximum performance possible with road approval.
Do you already have a configuration?
Would you like to transfer your configuration?
If you choose a new model within the same model series, most of the equipment in your current configuration can be transferred to the new model. In some cases, equipment is only available for certain models and may therefore not be adopted for the new model.
