2023 Porsche 911 Owner’s Manual

The Porsche 911 is one of the most memorable nameplates in the car industry for many reasons. Chief of them is that it is a minimalist sports car that lives up to its massive reputation, delivering on the promise of thrill, quality, and prestige, all while bringing an interior setup that makes it more suited for daily driver status than most sports cars and an exterior that scores maximum points for curb appeal.

In simple terms, the 911 is the quintessential Porsche, the icon defining the brand’s legacy and excellence. It is a dream car for many enthusiasts who appreciate its exhilarating performance, superb handling, and timeless design.

These things do not change with the 2023 Porsche 911, as Porsche sticks to its roots, especially with the regular 911, which retains the iconic design, returning unchanged from the previous year’s model.

While the 2023 Porsche 911 is also available in Targa, convertible, and coupe body styles, they all share a common superiority in the roominess of the cabin, especially when placed side-by-side with competitors like the Audi R8 and the Aston Martin Vantage.

Furthermore, the new Porsche remains the benchmark in performance and handling terms thanks to a selection of high-octane twin-turbocharged flat-six engines.

The piece in the base Carrera outputs a respectable 379 horsepower, the engine in the Porsche 911 S ups things to 443 HP, while the range-topping GTS trim maxes out with a 473-horsepower unit.

The base transmission for all trims is an eight-speed automatic that outclasses almost everything in its class, while a trusty seven-speed manual option is available only on the 911 S and GTS.

The drive system changes with body types, as the Targa comes with all-wheel-drive only, the coupe and convertible both ship with rear-wheel drive standard with an optional upgrade to all-wheel drive, while the regular Porsche model only features rear-wheel drive.
