Porsche 911 Carrera Overview

Porsche 911 Carrera Accessories

The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera ranks 2 out of 8 Super Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 77 published reviews and test drives of the Porsche 911 Carrera, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The 911 Carrera is the quintessential sports car -- balancing power and handling along with comfort and usability. It sets the bar for sports performance at such a high level that few competitors dare approach.

Refreshed for 2009, the Porsche 911 Carrera takes its world-renown design and performance capabilities to a whole new level, which leaves critics with little to complain about. "Suspension, brakes, lighting, interior and exterior styling all were massaged for the Carrera and Carrera S, and the process has resulted in the best 911 yet," writes Motor Trend. "We drove both models on a drizzly day over autobahn and narrow German back roads, and all we could do at the end of the drive was shake our heads in admiration: They've done it again. They've built a better 911."

Still, be sure to test drive Nissan's all new supercar, the GT-R, before making up your mind to buy a 911 Carrera. Boasting a 480-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine, this street demon blasts from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds -- making it hard for even high-priced exotics like the Gallardo LP-560 and 599 GTB Fiorano to keep pace. In fact, the GT-R was recently named Motor Trend's 2009 Car of the Year. Needless to say, it's worth a look.
