Few modern automobiles have mastered the art of reinvention like the Porsche 911. For over five decades, Porsche has continued to adapt, update, and finesse the rear-engine blueprint, careful never to dilute its core identity or trademark driving experience. The 2025 Porsche 911, designated 992.2 in Porsche vernacular, continues its calculated evolution with the usual mild styling revisions and power upgrades, but hybridization arrives for real in the form of the T-Hybrid powertrain in the GTS. Not only does it include an integrated starter-generator, but it also uses an electrically assisted turbocharger. The coupe remains the cornerstone of the lineup, and the cabriolet and Targa models continue to deliver the same sharp handling and visceral thrills while the sun shines in. With so many variants trading under the 911 banner—not to mention the incredible number of options and upgrades—keeping the scorecard current can be difficult. It’s for that reason we review the even more performance-focused and expensive Turbo and GT3 models separately. This review is focused on the “standard” 911, which currently encompasses the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, and GTS models. Though the Carrera T is lighter in weight with a focus on track performance, this class of 911s delivers balanced performance in the vein of a grand tourer; always engaging, they can effortlessly toggle between intense and relaxed behavior, making them the most versatile 911s of the lineup. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Porsche 911 has earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025. -Car and Driver Magazine
