Overview & Reviews

For those zealots who feel that a 911 Turbo isn't quite enough, Porsche rolls out the new-for-'02 GT2. Standard 911s receive new front-end styling and a bump in engine size (from 3.4 liters to 3.6) and power (from 300 horsepower to 320). Other 2002 Porsche 911 updates include a real glovebox, the option of a Bose stereo, a single cupholder and a gaggle of new wheels. Open-air versions were not overlooked when they were making improvements; the Cabriolet finally gets a glass rear window and the Targa model returns after a four-year hiatus.

• Finely honed sports car abilities, available in all-wheel-drive, convertible, and turbo forms, legendary prestige.

• Options are pricey, engine layout attempts to fight the laws of physics.

  Great for a change on the fly! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By ccandjzc - May 15 - 10:00 am

  This Targa has been a great car. I owned a 996 coupe before it and several older Targas. The large moon roof when up and wind and volume free driving, when down are a lot of fun. The hatchback feature is terrific and I dont understand why Porsche hasnt done this on the coupe. Unlike prior Targas, it corners as well as the coupe. When it slides back, the rear visibility is reduced. Great car!

  What can I say more. The title says it all! I finally got my dream car and it was absolutely worth the wait! I have a triple black 911 and I look forward each week for the Fridays, the Saturdays, and the Sundays to take her out for a run!! Thank you Porsche!!

  Little Fast Tank - 2002 Porsche 911
  By goodtogo - March 22 - 6:43 pm

  I drive it to work everyday depending on which office between 20 and 60 miles. I cant get over how solid and rigid it is, just like a fast tank. I put one O2 sensor in it (it has four) and an oil separator thats it, except for tires.

  Whats not to like - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Wm2001 - October 14 - 10:00 am

  True exotic class sportcar with everday reliability. Rides best at high speeds. Beautiful exterior design, matching a superb ride. Ahh, theres nothing better than German suspension. The AWD C4S has nothing but stability, making that 25 mile an hour turn a work of art at 50 mph.

  996 tt x50 - 2002 Porsche 911
  By ailich - April 17 - 2:00 am

  My fifth porsche including the 993 tt. This car removed much of the rawness of the car. The x50 package made an enormous difference. Although porsche claims 450 hp for the car, I have seen it test on a dyno closer to 500 hp. porsche is well known for understating their cars numbers. Wickedly fast with many creature comforts. No cars I have driven have come close to the shear power i feel when driving The x50 package is well worth its hefty pricetag. Definately. I understand that the gemballa exhaust will push it over 500 hp. A definate keeper

  True Love - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Gudencaren - February 3 - 10:00 am

  This car is incredible. The best comment that I heard about it from passengers is that it "sticks to the road like bubble gum". They missed a lot of small details with the car, but the performance is right on.

  Ive had my 911 Turbo for 3 weeks and love every bit of it. The car is very fun to drive...it handles very well! Its an experience like no other. My car has the new Porsche Power Kit Option which boost the HP from 415 to 450.

  996 - C4 - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Craig H - December 5 - 12:20 pm

  This is a gorgeous fun car. I prefer it any day to my E55 AMG (which is MUCH quicker) - nothing has the cache of the Porsche. Top-down and it doesnt get any better on a warm afternoon in the Asheville hills.

  Porsche 911 - 2002 Porsche 911
  By barb plessinger - November 11 - 11:46 pm

  I bought a speed yellow Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and it is a great car. Everyone loves it. The convertible is great. I also love the tiptronic transmission and all wheel drive. I dont like the fact that the steering wheel doesnt raise through. It is a good thing that I am short. Overall this is a great car so far.

  First Porsche C4 Cabriolet - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Mr King - August 27 - 2:56 pm

  Spring 2008 acquired beautiful used factory certified 2002 cab in seal gray over black leather with 33,000 miles for less than 50% original window sticker. Tight as a drum. Fast, fun, smooth, reliable, comfortable and sure-footed. Can confidently drive very fast. Daily driver is a 2007 BMW 335 coupe. A truly great machine but theres nothing like a ragtop Porsche in the twisties on a summer night or spring/fall day. I see a 997 TT cabriolet in my future.
