2011 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

The 2011 911 is Porsche's iconic sports car, available as a coupe or convertible, and it's the benchmark that other sports cars are measured against. Every 911 delivers that unmistakable rear-engine balance, with sharp steering and immense grip that makes back roads feel like a racetrack. Inside, the cabin is driver-focused and well-built, though the rear seats are best left for cargo or small children. Its 3.8L I6 makes 385 horsepower and pairs with the six-speed manual, sending power to all four wheels for planted acceleration in any weather. The wider rear bodywork that comes with the 4S gives it a more aggressive stance and a touch more stability at high speeds.
