An automatically extending rear spoiler adapts to vehicle speed, providing additional downforce at high speeds for enhanced stability and handling.

The optional PASM suspension uses sport-tuned adaptive dampers to reduce the ride height by 0.4 inches to increase stability and offer smoother ride quality in comfort mode.
Compact dimensions make the 911 Carrera a joy to drive
Thanks to the shorter wheelbase and compact body dimensions, the 911 feels composed in most driving scenarios, is easy to park in the city, and remains stable at high speeds.
Aggressive braking performance with available Carbon Ceramic Brakes
