“I know that I wanted a Porsche not as a daily commuter, but rather for the prestige and personal satisfaction. If that other person is looking for that, then I would strongly recommend the Porsche 911.”
2024 Porsche 911: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Porsche 911 is the debut of the limited-production S/T, a lightweight 60th-anniversary model with a 518-hp engine and six-speed manual. The Sport Classic leaves the lineup, while the rest of the 911 range sees no major redesign or model-wide engineering update.
About the 2024 Porsche 911
8th generation (992.1), final full model year before the 992.2 update began with selected 2025 Carrera and GTS models
Porsche positions the 911 as a sports car that blends precise steering and rear-engine performance with enough comfort and visibility for regular road use. Its wide range stretches from everyday Carrera models through open-roof Targas, all-weather Turbo models and track-focused GT cars. The enduring differentiators are its flat-six engine character, compact shape, unusually broad capability and direct connection between driver inputs and vehicle response.
The 2024 range stretches from the everyday-focused Carrera and all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 to specialized versions such as the raised, off-road-ready Dakar and track-focused GT3 RS. The new S/T stands out with its manual transmission and lightweight construction, while the Turbo S pairs 640 hp with all-wheel drive and a more comfort-oriented cabin.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The new S/T pairs the GT3 RS model’s 518-hp 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a six-speed manual transmission, lightweight clutch and lightweight flywheel.
Structural
The S/T adds permanent weight-saving hardware, including carbon-fiber body panels, carbon-ceramic brakes, fixed-back carbon-fiber seats and a lightweight sport exhaust. Its chassis is tuned for winding public roads rather than maximum racetrack downforce.
Tech
A heated steering wheel becomes standard on the Carrera GTS. The Dakar gains a standard heated steering wheel and heated front seats.

2024 Porsche 911 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Porsche 911.
4.4
2024 Porsche 911
(30 reviews)
“Porsche continues to build vehicles that exemplify performance, quality and an exceptional driving experience.”
“It's a lot of fun, it pulls, handles, stops and shifts as good as anything I have ever driven as a previous owner 911SC & 996 Carrera. It's feels really connected to the road with tons of grip. Also the 18 way seats are super comfortable and hold you really well, so you can easily lean into the corners.”
