Porsche has officially unveiled the new 2025 911 Carrera S, and it’s making waves in the sports car world. Slotting perfectly between the 911 Carrera and the performance-driven 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid, the latest addition to the 911 lineup is a testament to Porsche’s commitment to blending exhilarating performance with refined luxury. With a significant power boost, a more extensive list of standard features, and enhanced customization options, the 2025 Carrera S is poised to raise the bar for enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance between track-ready dynamics and everyday drivability.

Power Boost and Performance Enhancements

Under the rear decklid of the new 911 Carrera S lies a reworked 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. Producing 473 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, the engine delivers a 30-hp boost over its predecessor, bringing it closer to the performance levels of the outgoing 911 Carrera GTS. Porsche achieved this by introducing new turbochargers and optimizing the charge-air cooling system, all while improving efficiency and reducing emissions.

The Carrera S Coupe rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, making it 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor. With a top speed of 191 mph, this Carrera S ensures that Porsche’s tradition of blistering performance remains intact. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through Porsche’s lightning-fast eight-speed PDK (dual-clutch) transmission, providing seamless gear changes and a thrilling driving experience.

An Upgraded Standard Feature Set

The 2025 Carrera S isn’t just about raw power—it also comes with an impressive array of standard equipment upgrades. Porsche has borrowed key components from the previous-generation GTS, such as the high-performance brakes with 408 mm discs on the front axle and 380 mm discs on the rear. Additionally, the Sport Exhaust system with silver tailpipes and updated dampers with optimized hydraulics come standard, offering improved ride refinement and responsiveness.

Other performance-enhancing features like Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+), staggered 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels, and Matrix Design LED headlights are also included, ensuring that the Carrera S delivers an all-encompassing driving experience right out of the box.

For those seeking even more performance, Porsche offers a variety of options, including Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), PASM Sport Suspension (lowering the ride height by 10 mm), and rear-axle steering for increased agility at low speeds and enhanced stability at high speeds.

Luxury Meets Customization in the Cabin

Porsche has gone to great lengths to elevate the interior of the 2025 911 Carrera S, making it a luxurious and customizable space for drivers. Leather upholstery now comes standard on seats, headrests, the upper dashboard, and upper door panels, adding a sense of refinement. For those seeking even more opulence, a full leather interior is available as an option, extending the leather to areas such as the lower dashboard, glove box lid, and rear side panels.

The Carrera S also offers Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur Leather Interior package, which allows for up to 48 two-tone leather combinations, making it easy for buyers to personalize their vehicle. Cabriolet models include rear seats as standard, while Coupe buyers can choose between a two-seat layout or rear seats at no additional cost.

Standard features across the model line include a cooled wireless smartphone charger, heated steering wheel with a drive mode knob, and Matrix Design LED headlights. Optional features include a front axle lift system, HD-Matrix Design LED headlights, and the Sport Chrono package with the Porsche Track Precision app for those who plan to take their Carrera S to the track.

Pricing and Availability

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S is now available to order in two configurations: the Coupe with an MSRP of $146,400 and the Cabriolet starting at $159,600 (excluding a $1,995 destination fee). Deliveries to U.S. dealerships are expected to begin in Spring 2025, giving enthusiasts just a few more months to dream about this remarkable machine.

Closing the Gap, Redefining the Lineup

The new 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S seamlessly bridges the gap between the base Carrera and the GTS models, bringing enhanced power, luxury, and versatility to the lineup. Its impressive list of standard features, coupled with an array of customizable options, ensures that it appeals to a broad spectrum of Porsche enthusiasts.
