The GR Supra and 992.2 Carrera may be light years apart when it comes to pricing but are similar in more ways than you think

The Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera starts at $120,100

The Toyota GR Supra starts at $56,250

With 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, the 911 has more power, but less torque, at least on paper

The GR Supra is powered by the B58 engine, which is rated at 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet

The GR Supra also gives you the option of a 6-speed manual

In 2024, more than half the GR Supras sold were manual

Entering the 911 Carrera is an occasion You still get classic touches like the 5-gauge instrument cluster and LeMans-style key position

Both the 992.2 Carrera and GR Supra are rear-wheel drive and they both sprint to 60 mph in roughly the same time (when both are automatic)

Timeless looks. The 992.2 shape has evolved, but not changed. It's still relatively compact and lightweight

A comprehensive array of optional equipment, including the HD Matrix LED headlights

The GR Supra design will not age as well and the fake vents are off-putting

With only 2 seats, the GR Supra is also less-practical, but features easy access to the rear cargo area

The GR Supra interior is well-built, but a bit too Germanic for a JDM icon

This could be the last Supra with a 6-cylinder engine as the next generation is, reportedly, going to be a 4-cylinder hybrid

Meanwhile, the 911 lineup is gradually being electrified due to strict emissions. Will the next Carrera continue to be non-hybrid?

In this head-2-head of old-school modern, find out how the analog 911 GT1, compares to the latest hybridized supercar from Ferrari, the F80

A homologation special for FIA GT1 racing, the GT1 is like no other 911

The GT1 is motivated by a Mezger engine - the M96/80, propelling it to over 190 mph, with some claiming more

The only mid-engine 911 features a steel tubular frame with mostly carbon-fiber body

The Porsche 911 GT1 Street packs 544 horsepower and 443 pound-feet, along with a 6-speed manual

The Ferrari F80 is a tech fest on wheels that sparked a lot of controversy

The Ferrari F80 features 2 electric motors, each powering the front wheels

The Ferrari F80 packs a combined power output of 1,184 horsepower

The F80 features an F1-inspired interior and a driver seat in a different color

Production of the Ferrari F80 is 799 examples, each costing $4.0 million

But the Porsche 911 GT1 Street is even rarer - just 25 road-going examples. The last time a GT1 went on sale, it was for $7.045 million

Most examples of the GT1 Street were finished in Arctic Gray and featured the 996 headlights

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1) is already a track weapon, but Manthey Racing has turned it into an even sharper tool with their bespoke upgrade kit

The Nürburgring legend spent two years developing this kit to enhance the 992.1 GT3 RS, focusing purely on aerodynamics and handling

The package comes with 17 key upgrades

They include things like semi-active suspension system, high-performance brake pads, and a two-piece carbon-fiber rear wing

Manthey also dials up the visual drama with carbon-fiber additions like a shark fin, roof fins, aero discs, and canards

Aerodynamic improvements are extreme: the Manthey GT3 RS generates 2,204 pounds of downforce at 177 mph, a 20% increase over the stock model

Spring rates are up by 30% at the front and 15% at the rear, minimizing body roll and maximizing cornering stability

For ultimate braking confidence, the kit adds braided stainless-steel brake lines and race-ready brake pads

Despite keeping the stock 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 518 horsepower, the Manthey GT3 RS shaves weight, dropping its curb weight to an estimated 3,200 pounds

The choice is clear: the standard GT3 RS offers raw, balanced performance, while the Manthey version is built for uncompromising lap times

On paper, the Manthey version isn’t faster in a straight line, but expect lap times to obliterate the stock 992.1 GT3 RS thanks to its handling and aero edge

The price? A hefty $82,000 on top of the 911 GT3 RS’s $241,300 MSRP, making it a $320,000+ track toy—before dealer markups

If cutting-edge tech and dominance at the limit matter most, the Manthey GT3 RS is the ultimate Porsche for you

While not traditional rivals, there is one area where the BMW M4 CS and the latest Porsche 911 Carrera are comprable. Price.

At $120,100, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera can save you over $3,500 compared to the BMW M4 CS, but...

You are getting an entry-level 911 vs a range-topping, limited-edition M4

The rear-engine layout allows any 911 to take off like no other car

However, there is a 154-horsepower difference in favor of the M4 CS, which is also AWD

At the push of a button, the M4 CS can switch to rear-wheel-drive

Whereas the 992.2 Carrera is rear-wheel-drive-only as we no longer have a Carrera 4 model on the base trim

The 911 Carrera can also be had as a convertible while the BMW M4 CS is coupe-only

The 911's 3.0-liter flat-6 "only" makes 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, but the car weighs 595 pounds less than the M4 CS

Porsche's comprehensive configurator is rich on optional equipment, even for the base 911 Carrera

But in the range-topping BMW M4 CS, you get a lot of standard equipment

The BMW M4 CS's FR layout makes it the more practical sports car and even the rear seats are usable

Despite digitalization, the 911 interior is just as classically correct as the exterior, but it does feature a smaller infotainment screen compared to the BMW

The BMW M4 CS packs near-supercar levels of performance and could be a future classic

But the 911 has always been a classic, and the only choice for a Porsche enthusiast

The base 992.2 Carrera has a starting MSRP of $120,000, before options

But for similar money, here are five legendary 911 models from older generations

5. Porsche 991.1 Carrera GTS: Average value: $117,772

The last normally-aspirated Carrera GTS is one of the most sought-after modern 911s, with 430 horsepower and the option of a manual

Special editions like this 60 Years Anniversary are over $200,000

4. Porsche 997.1 Turbo: Average value: $102,640

This is the last time you could buy a 911 with a Mezger engine and a manual

The 997.2 update removes the manual from the Turbo S and introduces the first direct-injected flat-six

3. Porsche 997 GT3: Average value - $130,000, but can get close to $300,000

The 997 GT3 was also the last Porsche to feature hydraulic steering and a Mezger engine

This 997 GT3 RS 4.0 is the most radical and very last version of the car. Only 600 made

2. Porsche 993 Turbo: Average value: $210,114. Plenty of examples for around $100,000

The last air-cooled 911 Turbo is also the first to feature al-wheel drive and over 400 horsepower

1. Porsche 930 Turbo: Average value: $170,000, but can still be found for around $100,000

The turbocharged engine is the most exciting part of the Porsche 930 Turbo, but also the most dangerous

The car had violent tendencies, earning it the nickname "Widowmaker"

Global Taycan sales have dropped by almost 50 percent, in 2024

The Porsche Taycan was the brand's first EV and until recently, the fastest-selling performance EV

Chinese EV incentives have played havoc on European EV sales

At the same time, the Panamera lineup will follow in the footsteps of the Cayenne

This means that, alongside the ICE/ hybrid-powered variants, an EV will be introduced

The Panamera is positioned above the Taycan as a larger, more luxurious proposition

At the same time, Porsche continues pouring new tech in the Panamera, meaning it's here to stay

The Taycan could have the same fate as the Porsche 928 30 years before

The 930 Turbo may be why the Porsche 928 came around in the first place

The V-8 Porsche coupe experienced declining sales in the mid-1980s, eventually resulting in the 928's discontinuation

With a new, enriched lineup, the spotlight could, once again, shine on the Panamera

What do you think? Will the Taycan suffer a similar fate to the 928?

The 992.2 Carrera GTS is the first hybrid 911 and it caused many concerns

The 992.2 features an additional catalytic converter, making for a quieter engine sound

That said, the 992.2 GTS features active exhaust, which "opens up" in sport mode

The big single turbo of the 3.6-liter engine also "introduces" itself when you open up the throttle

The T-Hybrid adds just 110 pounds to the weight while exponentially boosting performance, compared to the 992.1 GTS

One complaint is the "synthetic" sound, which is reportedly pumped up through the speakers

Nevertheless, some 911 fan boys on Reddit seem to prefer the 992.2's deeper growl

Others have commented on how the the soundtrack lacks "character"

In the 992.1, the engine note changes as the RPMs cliimb, especially the last 500 RPM before the redline

Still, the 992.2 GTS is measurably superior and even rivals the 992.1 Turbo in terms of acceleraiton

The single turbo in the 992.2 GTS is conservatively tuned

The 3.6-liter flat-6 is said to be impossible to tune... but we know it's only a matter of time before tuners crack the code

Is the clever engineering enough to make up for a controversial soundtrack?

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic are both limited run models that have some similarities and differences

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic were both inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS

The 997 Sport Classic was introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Based on the Carrera S platform, the 997 Sport Classic had a slightly more powerful engine, producing around 23 horsepower more

The 2023 Porsche 992 Sport Classic was based on the 992.1 Turbo, but featured a few important distinctions

Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-6 was de-tuned from 572 hp to 542 hp and 442 lb-ft

This was still a lot more than the 997 Sport Classic's 402 hp and 310 lb-ft

The 992 Sport Classic was converted to rear-wheel drive and features a 7-speed manual transmission

The 997 Sport Classic's 6-speed manual with a 3.44 mechanical, limited-slip differential

The most powerful Taycan is as quick around a track as a Cayman GT4 RS

With 1,019 hp, the Taycan Turbo GT is also the most powerful road-going Porsche ever made

Meanwhile, Porsche's latest Panamera Turbo became the fastest 4-door hybrid around the "Ring"

Some Reddit users claim the more practical Taycan Sport/Cross Turismo models are the ones that are worth it

Meanwhile, the bigger Panamera dropped the station wagon body style, for 2024

The Panamera will go fully electric and it will exist alongside the Taycan

Porsche commemorates 50 years of the original Turbo is by offering a limited-production model with a special appearance package

However, one Reddit user decided to spec a regular Turbo S as close as possible to a Turbo S 50 Years

It turns out you can save around $30,000 by NOT going for the special version

This is the Turbo S 50 Years, spec'd without the optional decals

When configured similarly, the regualr Turbo S and the 50 Years have a price difference of over $27,000
