What changed for 2026

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says 2026 sees the return of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4S trim for 911 coupe, convertible, and Targa models. All 4S variants come with the 473-hp twin-turbo flat-six engine found in the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S; an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is the only transmission available. The 4S features Porsche Traction Management, a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system that utilizes a water-cooled front differential and an electromagnetically controlled clutch. It also gets some bits from the previous-generation Carrera GTS, including a sport exhaust system, upgraded brakes, and uprated dampers. A reworked infotainment package expands the capabilities of the central display and adds Dolby Atmos surround sound to its already impressive Bose and Burmester sound systems.

Record summary

What to know first

Output climbs from 379 hp (Carrera) to 640 hp (Turbo S); Carrera 4S adds AWD at the same 443 hp as Carrera S, and GTS steps up to 473 hp with SportDesign and Sport Chrono equipment.

Model-year note

Carrera 4S shares Carrera S's 443-hp output: AWD does not add power on that pairing, unlike the separate Turbo/Turbo S jump.
