Entering its second year in the 992 generation, Porsche’s iconic 911 remains one of the most versatile and daily drivable sports cars ever made. Its trims and drive configurations encompass the entire spectrum of possibilities, including coupe and cabriolet body styles with either rear- or all-wheel drive. And though every 2021 911 is turbocharged, output ranges from ample to ludicrous.
New for 2021 are the Turbo S and Turbo S Cabriolet trims. These outrageous performers are powered by an only slightly revised turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-6 engine. The primary changes to the engine include two larger turbochargers and relocated intercoolers, which bump power from 580 horsepower in the 991-generation Turbo S to a staggering 640 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque in the new 911. Torque is routed to all four wheels through a paddle-shiftable 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Standard Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet models will follow with lower output and lower costs. Every Turbo model, S or otherwise, installs Porsche’s latest powertrain tech and comfort into a remarkably capable yet still highly usable package.
There will be abundant other 911 trims for 2021 as well. Expect the Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S, Carrera 4S in both coupe and Cabriolet versions to reappear as 2021 models. All of these are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-6 with two outputs. For the 2020 model year, the standard Carreras produced 379 hp while S trims pumped out 443 hp thanks to bigger turbochargers, and those numbers will likely remain similar if not identical for 2021. Any 911 with the number 4 in its name has all-wheel drive. An 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is standard and a 7-speed manual can be fitted to the Carrera S and 4S Coupe and Cabriolet at no extra cost. Manual-transmission-equipped cars come standard with the Sport Chrono package, which permits drive mode changes from a steering-wheel-mounted knob and adds other performance features.
Expect additional versions as well: Porsche will no doubt roll out the higher-output GTS trims as well as retractable-hardtop Targa 4 models, and we’d expect to see one or both of those later in 2021.
Standard safety features include forward-collision warning with brake assist and Wet Mode, which measure moisture levels on the road, warns the driver, and adjusts the stability control and ABS calibrations to suit wet conditions. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist are optional.
Apple CarPlay is standard but Android Auto isn’t available. Two upgraded audio systems are available: A 570-watt, 12-speaker Bose surround-sound system is offered on Carrera S and 4S trims (it’s standard on Turbo models), and a 13-speaker 855-watt Burmester system is available if your cochleas truly need tickling.
But the 911 is about driving. It always has been, and the 992 generation only enhances its broad range of abilities, whether that’s the entry-level Carrera version or the absolutely insane Turbo S.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2021 Porsche 911 are thrilled with their vehicles, praising its fun to drive nature and luxurious feel. Many drivers noted its excellent performance and daily usability, often referring to it as the perfect sports car. However, a few pointed out the lack of certain modern luxuries like a larger LCD display, which they felt should be standard. The back seats were also mentioned as needing improved storage options."
This 911 Turbo S was painted in Aventurine which is one of the rarest Porsche colors, and it was paired with a sumptuous truffle leather interior. The only option missing was the front end lift. There is no comparison to the 911 Turbo S.
June 20, 2026Great car. Drove it cross country. I was warned that it would be a rough ride and noisy. It has the PASM sport suspension and Sport exhaust. The ride was a smooth as could be and the exhaust was not too loud at all. Even my wife enjoyed the ride and agreed it was very comfortable and pleasant.
March 18, 2025Outstanding. There are so many words that have already been written to describe the singular driving experience of the Porsche 911, but none that can actually convey that experience. Having bought my first Porsche 911, I finally get it. What a vehicle.

January 16, 2024The best daily supercar….period. If you can get one, do it.
July 16, 2023Excellent car. Makes one happy just thinking about it, and always looking forward to driving it!
April 20, 2024Excellent car. Its the perfect sports car.
July 30, 2023Perfect in every way!! My. Dream car 2021 911 turbo s
November 13, 2022The perfect balanced Porsche if you’re looking for a daily driver that never ceases to bring a big smile to your face. Not the fastest or track burner but a pleasure to get in and go to the local grocery store. You will never be bored or feel “buyer remorse”.
January 3, 2021Super fun to drive, but the back seats should be reconfigured for a bit of storage.
August 23, 2022I wish they would keep up with some of the luxuries other cars which cost less have as stock. For example they only came out with the larger LCD display in 2020. Until then they were way too small. The Porsche makes up for that minor negative in its driveability and mechanicals. Can not compare to any other cars drive. It is that great.
