Porsche kicks off the new year with a bang, introducing the updated 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S—now packing a serious punch under the bonnet and a few nifty tweaks here and there.
Nestled neatly between the Carrera T and the newly electrified 911 GTS T-Hybrid, this Stuttgart Stallion is available in both coupe and cabriolet guises, ready to set hearts racing.
Power Play: A Beastly Boxer Engine
At the heart of this wild stallion lies a rear-mounted 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, affectionately known as the ‘boxer engine’.
Thanks to new turbochargers, this mighty powerplant now churns out a thrilling 473 HP and 530 Nm of torque, all sent exclusively to the rear wheels.
Matched with Porsche’s signature 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, the updated Carrera S rockets from 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 308 km/h—matching the previous 911 Carrera GTS. Sadly, the 7-speed manual option is no more, but with the PDK’s slick shifts, you’ll barely miss it.
Handling: Smooth as Silk, Sharp as a Razor
Porsche hasn’t just amped up the power; they’ve ensured this beast handles like a dream. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) comes standard, delivering razor-sharp handling.
To rein in all that power, there are hefty 16.1-inch front and 15-inch rear brake rotors, painted red for that extra pop.
For those craving even sharper cornering, there’s the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system and the PASM sport suspension, which lowers the ride height by 10 mm.
Add in new dampers and rear-wheel steering, and you’ve got a car that dances through bends like a ballerina in a leather jacket.
Interior: Classic Meets Custom
Inside, the 2025 Carrera S stays true to the 992.2-gen design, offering timeless elegance with a touch of modern tech.
However, if you fancy a bit more luxury, Porsche has you covered with an optional leather upholstery package, draping the seats, side panels, and glovebox in sumptuous leather.
The standard setup includes two seats, but for those who need a bit more room, rear folding seats are available as a no-cost option, making this sports car as versatile as it is fast.
Exterior: Aggressive Stance, Subtle Tweaks
Visually, the updates are subtle but effective. The wider rear arches with integrated intakes, borrowed from the 911 Turbo, give the Carrera S a more aggressive stance.
The staggered wheels—20-inch up front and 21-inch at the rear—complete the look, while the sport exhaust system with silver tailpipes ensures that this beast’s roar won’t go unnoticed.
A Statement Piece on Wheels
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. With orders now open in key European markets and North America, this Stuttgart Stallion is galloping its way into the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide.
Other regions won’t have to wait too long, as sales are expected to roll out globally soon.
In summary, Porsche has taken the 911 Carrera S to new heights, blending power, precision, and luxury in a way that only they can. Buckle up, because this wild stallion is ready to race.
