How Fast is the Porsche 911?

The 911 is among the fastest cars in the Porsche lineup, thanks to an extraordinarily powerful twin-turbo configuration that delivers balanced power across the speed range. Birmingham drivers who can appreciate advanced performance will find a lot to love—from its low center of gravity to finely-honed controls that forge an intimate connection between steering wheel and roadway.

The Porsche 911 top speed ranges from 179 to 193 depending on the configuration—but which one is right for you? Learn just how fast a 911 can go in this detailed breakdown from Fred Lavery Porsche Company, and then let us know when you’re ready to get behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 for sale in %%target_city%%.

Porsche 911 Top Speed by Model

Which 911 offers just the right balance of performance and comfort? Porsche 911 models with a “4” in their name are equipped with all-wheel drive for optimal traction control when roads are difficult in Rochester Hills and Bloomfield Hills. With an AWD Porsche 911, top speeds will be slightly slower—typically one to two miles per hour.

“S” models are “sport” configurations with increased engine output, large brakes, and large wheels. “4S” models offer a performance upgrade along with 4WD capability. Lightweight “T” or “Touring” models prioritize comfort for exceptionally smooth ride quality.

Finally, we come to the GTS lineup, which offers enhanced performance even beyond the S models. If you’re interested in maximum Porsche 911 top speeds, start here—GTS models deliver the overall highest Porsche 911 horsepower (473 hp), the fastest overall Porsche 911 0-60 time (3.2 seconds), and the fastest overall top speed (192 mph).
