5 Favorite Features of the 2025 Porsche 911
Satisfying Acceleration
The entry-level 911 Carrera rockets to 60 mph in a frantic 3.9 seconds. The sports car is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged flat-six that produces 388 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The engine’s boxer layout with horizontally opposed cylinders reduces vibrations and provides smoother acceleration, making the throttle feel more natural and satisfying.
The track-focused 4 GTS trim level takes the 911’s performance even further, completing the 0-to-60-mph sprint in just 2.9 seconds. This range-topping model houses a 3.6L flat-six with T-Hybrid technology, letting loose 532 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. With summer tires, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS reaches a blistering top speed of 194 mph.
PDK Transmission
An eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission comes standard in all Porsche 911 models. Although it offers the convenience of an automatic for everyday driving, the PDK is actually a race-bred dual-clutch transmission that provides white-knuckle shifts in manual mode. The first six gears are tuned for sporty performance, while the seventh and eighth serve as overdrive gears for maximum fuel efficiency.
Perfect Handling
Most of the 911’s dominance in the automotive industry is owed to its outstanding maneuverability. The sports car’s flat-six engine sits behind the driver instead of under the hood, adding extra weight over the driven rear wheels. This reduces understeer, improves traction, and gives the 911 an edge when accelerating out of a corner.
The 911 also features available rear-axle steering to improve stability at high speeds and make navigating city streets and parking lots easier. Available Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) further improves maneuverability by applying small amounts of brake pressure to the inside rear wheel during cornering.
PASM
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) adjusts the shock absorbers on each wheel to match road conditions. This electronic adaptive damping system enhances ride comfort and provides better traction across all road conditions.
Sport Seats
The sports car features a luxurious interior with ergonomically designed seats. High-end Sport Seats with four-way power adjustment and three-stage heating greatly reduce fatigue and provide excellent comfort for grand touring. Drivers can also upgrade to the available Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, which comes with 18-way power adjustment, memory settings, heating, and ventilation.
The zippy acceleration, dream-like handling, and comfortable seats are just some of the features drivers love about the Porsche 911. To experience the sports car’s capabilities firsthand, schedule a test drive at Porsche Warwick in Warwick, RI.
