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.

  The True Drivers Car! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By robliski - December 23 - 12:37 pm

  If you want a true sports car that has been designed around the driver, then this is the car for you. The engine performance is excellent, the sound is beautiful when she sings. Handling is very crisp and gives the driver an excellent feel of connectedness with the car. The interior is relatively comfortable with 2 little seats for the kids. The car has to be owned by a person who has basic mechanical knowledge and understands the concept of "Preventive Maintenance", otherwise it can cost the owner very dearly. But dont worry as there is a lot of help out there since this car has a lot of following.

  The Amazing Porsche GT2 - 2002 Porsche 911
  By N$ane - December 7 - 10:23 pm

  The Porsche GT2 is the second fastest Porsche, only slower than the Carrera GT. I just test drove the 2007 turbo and the GT2 still has it beat. The weight and rear wheel drive make it a quicker car for much less money than the next 2007 Turbo. For the biggest bang for your buck in super car performance, try the GT2. You will be amazed!

  This car wipes out the competition. - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Fast n da Privileged - November 20 - 10:00 am

  If youve been lucky enough to drive and even own one of these, you know exactly what Im talking about. Ive had the Viper and the Ferrari Modena. Viper is fast, but not refined in looks or performance. The Ferrari Modena is a gorgeous looking car but with 260lb torque, the engine roars like a dog in heat and the F1 transmission is jerky. The 911 Turbo is stupid fast, hugs the road and looks beautiful. The comfort is far superior to any other super sportscar Ive owned or test-driven. Its no MBZ S-class but for a sports car, its pretty damn good. Ive been lucky enough to have pretty much any car that I want and this one by far takes the cake for overall performance.

  Awesome - 2002 Porsche 911
  By markkody - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Such a thrill starting this car up. City or highway, you feel the eyes on you and the power under your foot. The engine can be heard several blocks away when powering it up. The friends all love it. No complaints about this slick work of art.

  The best damn sports car...EVER! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Dr. Guumba - November 2 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my 2002 996 Targs for the 2002 996 Turbo w/ X50 power package. This car is scary fast and will literally thow you back into your seat. Riding on rails handling and super performance. If you can afford it, buy it. You will have no regrets.

  2002 911 Carrera4S - 2002 Porsche 911
  By ngray - September 12 - 2:50 am

  This is the best handling car I have ever driven, with it AWD, 18" low profile tires and Porsche stability management system,it makes even an average driver like me look good. The 320HP with tons of torgue helps too. Very quick an agile machine.

  2002 996 Cab - 2002 Porsche 911
  By WSM996 - July 15 - 6:16 pm

  This has been a great car. I looked at 997s but, for the money, the the 996 seemed like the best buy. Its an everyday driver and I drive it from Austin to Dallas every week for work. A lot of fun; surprising economy; very comfortable seating.

  This car is good but not a legend ! - 2002 Porsche 911
  By Another New Yorker - June 27 - 2:00 am

  I live in Manhattan and drive maybe once a week, probably much less in winter. The Porsche has a problematic battery that drains quite fast unless the engine is idled or the car is driven at least several times a week. I did not have the time to go and rev the engine every day and so went into battery problems. You can not stop the battery drain by disconnecting the battery. For safety reasons,the doors do not open if you disconnect the battery so there is no option but watch the battery drain ! So...? I had to sell my car. Be aware and alert of this problem. Porsche and numerous magazines that claim to "review" cars will not mention such facts to you.

  911 Wundercar - 2002 Porsche 911
  By jbarry - February 21 - 8:10 am

  Having owned a number of sports cars over the years, and having lusted after many others, the biggest downside to the 911 is that you no longer lust for anything better. The car does almost everything unbelievably well. The 911 provides race car acceleration and handling, while offering a fairly comfortable ride and interior, a really usable trunk (so you can drive to the store), a wonderful level of fit and finish, excellent gas mileage and reliable performance. Besides all of the above, its flat out gorgeous.
