Overview & Reviews

For the 2008 Porsche 911, the pavement-rippling GT2 model returns, this time sporting 530 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 200 mph. Otherwise, changes are limited to newly optional carbon-fiber racing seats and a more effective sunshade for the 911 Targa's glass roof.

• Outlandish option prices, missing a few common electronic features like Bluetooth and an auxiliary audio jack.

  Best one Yet - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Porsche is the best - January 2 - 4:43 am

  In April I decided to trade in my 2000 Carrera Cabriolet and upgrade to the Carrera 4S. While this is my 7th Porsche since 1978, it has by far the most improvement in any I have had. Obviously the AWD is a luxury along with the turbo wheels and tires and I have yet to hear a peep out of the tires regardless of how hard I push the car. The leather interior upgrade is well worth the price.

  08 C4S Cab - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Carl B. - November 28 - 6:30 am

  This is my 3rd Porsche and somehow they just keep getting better and better. Its an amazingly civilized car around town. You think its a pretty quick car until you realize that, most of the time, youre hardly pushing on the accelerator - but when you "floor it, you better be ready to shift because itll hit the redline before you can blink. The handling borders on absurd. Supple leather seats are very comfortable. There really is no substitute!

  Lives Up To The Dream Of A 10-year-old - 2008 Porsche 911
  By str8line - December 5 - 12:56 am

  As a youth my father and I never missed stopping at the Porsche dealer while driving by. I had a love affair with the guards red 911 that seemed to always be on the showroom floor. When in 1979 my dad finally purchased a 911 (930 model)Turbo I reveled in its incredible rocket ship abilities. He sold it when I was 13, but the 3 years he had it made the Porsche 911 my dream car. As a self-made and relatively poor young man I was all but resigned to the fact that a 911 in anything other than a used and older variant just would not be in the cards for me. Skip to Feb. 2008 and I have the good fortune of being shocked every time I enter my garage by the sight of a black 2008 911 Carrera S!

  Brilliant - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Gnslngr - December 7 - 5:13 am

  My second Porsche (after a 2007 Cayman) and perhaps my last one. I dont believe they can make a car better than this one. It is not so much a car as it is an experience - this car is a beast when it wants to be and is compliant and docile when my wife is in the passenger seat. Ive added an Escort Passport 9500ci to make the experience complete, and now the car (with Sport Chrono, Sport Exhaust, and Sport Shifter) is the dream car Ive always wanted. I still cannot believe I own it; I have to do a double take every time I see it in my garage. And the great thing about this car is that it is nowhere near as onerous to own as a Ferrari or Lambo - maintenance is relatively inexpensive.

  Well, its my 4th one..... - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Porscheguy - September 29 - 1:20 am

  Since 2000, Ive been the proud owner of 4 Carreras, Just traded my 06 C2 Cab for this C2s coupe. What can I say? Porsches are "the complete package". They provide super car performance, are great daily drivers, get decent fuel economy, are comfortable, good looking, reliable, have great resale value. Some cars give you some this - but none give it all to you like a Porsche. It truly is the "real deal".

  Awesome car - 2008 Porsche 911

  This is my third 911, by far the best I had. Fun car to drive and love the handling on corner, great engine noise

  Carrera 2s - 2008 Porsche 911
  By mark fisher - April 17 - 6:20 am

  My seventh 911, and each successive model gets better and better. The car is now totally updated for the 21st century with huge improvements in handling, comfort, and performance. Have owned many premium automobiles (MB, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Corvette) and for my money, the 911S is simply the best car in the world.

  Rocketship - 2008 Porsche 911
  By turbodickie - January 12 - 8:23 am

  This is my 25th Porsche turbo since 1976 and my first GT2. This car is insane for the street. It is almost impossible to drive sanely. The handling is precise. The gas mileage is unbelievable considering it has 530 hp. I can get 27 mpg if I can somehow manage to do 55mph. The brakes are very close to simulating hitting a brick wall. Very overpriced but worth it. Buy one if you can find one!

  911 Turbo fills the Bill - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Max Revs - May 15 - 12:53 pm

  The 997 Turbo Coupe is another leap forward for Porsche. This new model has enthusiastic power across a wide power band, incredible acceleration, and superb handling. While it would be at home on any racing circuit, it also is easy to drive around town and in traffic. It is unusual to find a car that performs so well in a straight line, in the twisties, and can still serve as a daily driver if desired. When the turbos kick in the car will really set you back in the seat.

  Turbo Cab 2008 - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Smilemaker - February 13 - 11:46 pm

  Picked up "The Beast" a few days ago. Previously had a 2002 c2 cab. The power difference is exponential. This is the car I have been waiting for. Last car was tiptronic, This one is manual. I enjoyed the tip, but the manual is more fun.
