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 Car I Have Driven - 2008 Porsche 911
  By The Kid - November 28 - 6:06 am

  I love this car! It is a joy to drive. It is a joy to let my friends drive it. My wife is not a car person, but she loves driving it and riding in it. It handles better than any MBZ that I have owned. I have always wanted a Porsche and I am 73-years old. It was now or never. It is the best thing that I have ever given myself. The cars handling saved our lives when another driver almost side-swiped us. I dont drive the car much over 75 because getting their sooner makes the fun of the drive shorter. It is just as much fun in city driving as it is on the highway. One minor electrical fix in 15 months. If you can afford to buy or lease, you wont be sorry. I love my Red Monster!

  The Best Super Car - 911 Turbo Cab Tip - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Porscheman-WH - May 30 - 3:06 pm

  This 08 Turbo cab is my 5th Porsche, went from 06 C2 cab manual to 08 turbo cab tip and love it!! Because of the awd, it handles corners and twisty roads far much better than my 06 c2-S cab, the power is unbelievable & beyond, it feels very solid & sticks to the road. I wish it has aggressive exhaust note or at least as good as the c-2 S w/ sport chrono package. I hope that I will not miss the stick shift feel and continue to enjoy the tip S on my new turbo. Will see!

  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!

  Worst exotic imitation ever! - 2008 Porsche 911
  By Bill Scallia - August 19 - 8:30 pm

  This car is not an exotic at all! It is not worth the price. I own several other exotic cars, and this is the worst! I enjoy my BMW M Roadster better. Heres why. I am not a huge fan of the design. I was hoping to do a longer road test, since I "heard" that the performance was "good". But, the dealer would only let me try it on traffic laden streets for around 2.5 miles. I THOUGHT it might do better, and so I enthusiastically bought it. Now, I regret it. I sold the car around 5 months after I purchased it for around 65% of the original value. I bought a Mercedes Benz AMG, and it is 500% better. Do not get this exotic want-to-be!

  How much for one that works - 2008 Porsche 911
  By maxxx - February 1 - 11:36 pm

  I have owned porsches since 1982, great cars, but what has happened to the quality. Buttons now fall off, electrical system fails - try losing your headlights at 65 on a windy road at midnight (I dont believe they switched to Lucas-but.....) and customer service that talks nice and does nothing. I just dont know, its a blast to drive, but then again, it is a porsche, but then again, its not the porsche I fell in love with

  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".
