FAQs

What are the best Porsche sports cars?

You aren’t exactly short on choices considering the size of the lineup. For purists, the 911 Carrera will be a go-to option, in one of its several guises, including the ludicrously fun GT3. However, those wanting to use their Porsche daily may be drawn to the Taycan, which boasts impressive fuel economy ratings thanks to its electric powertrain, a decently comfortable cabin, and better trunk dimensions than just about any other car in the lineup.

What is the fastest Porsche sports car?

With its 4.0L flat-six engine, the 911 GT3 Rs has access to 518 horsepower and can hit 60 mph in just 2.1 seconds, according to independent tests, though more reasonable estimates put the time at around three seconds. It’s also an exceptionally fast car, being able to achieve a maximum speed of 184 mph.

How much does a new Porsche sports car cost?

German craftsmanship and extreme performance don’t come cheap. The least expensive model in the lineup - the 718 Cayman - will still set you back over $60,000. The Boxster version of the 718 will cost you $5k more. The base-level Taycan and Panamera are the only other models that sell for less than six figures, if only just. The 911 Carrera starts at around $100,000, while the GT3 will add around $60,000 to the bill. At the very top of the price spectrum is the 911 Sport Classic, which sells for a little over $270k.

Are there any upcoming Porsche sports cars in the future?

Aside from the new 911 GT3 RS, Porsche also has plans to facelift the 911 and release all-new 718 Cayman and Boxster models. The Panamera will also be receiving an electric alternative.
