2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S packs a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine that now makes 473 hp, which is a 30-hp bump over the previous model year. The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S is now offered exclusively with an eight-speed PDK transmission, which means there is no manual transmission option.

New turbos and upgraded intercoolers help improve performance.
