Porsche's long history of performance and precision enters a new era with the arrival of the 2025 Porsche Carrera S Coupe and Cabriolet. The two vehicles are an extension of the classic 911 platform, with more power, more aggressive styling, and improved technology. Designed to fall between the entry-level 911 Carrera and the track-ready GTS, the new models add significant comfort and practicality. With track-ready acceleration and custom luxury options, the 2025 Carrera S offers an exhilarating experience designed for Porsche enthusiasts.
What's New for 2025?
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe and the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet received consistent and comprehensive updates designed to improve performance, luxury, and engagement. Porsche took a beloved traditional sports car and greatly improved engine tuning, smart tech integration, and luxury features. A redesigned interior layout, extra standard features, and sharper aerodynamics contribute to a more refined driving experience that stays true to the model's motorsport heritage.
Styling and Design Updates
The 2025 Carrera S keeps the classic 911 silhouette, but the front and rear fascias, lighting signatures, and aero lines have been modified. The Coupe and Cabriolet both have noticeable improvements that discreetly confirm their status as performance vehicles. From flush door handles and a wide rear track to redesigned intake openings, the distinguishing features are unmistakable.
The number of color options and available wheel designs has increased, providing you with more visual choices than before. Optional high-gloss black trim that features your preferred model's logo and optional LED Matrix Design headlights enhance its presence. If you choose the Cabriolet, you'll have the fastest and easiest-to-conceal soft top in the business. The Cabriolet's rigid roof folds smoothly and cleanly beneath a sleekly designed rear deck.
Technological Advancements
The Carrera S model showcases Porsche's latest infotainment system and digital cockpit. Traditional analog gauges have been replaced by a fully digital instrument cluster with a completely adjustable view that improves clarity and legibility. The system's key features include a mirrored smartphone app, GPS navigation, voice activation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Aside from the usual collection of standard tech features, Porsche has included a 360-degree camera, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and the latest Porsche Communication Management software package. The upgraded audio and connectivity options include a Burmester premium sound system with Spotify and Apple Music integration as built-in features.
Driver-assistance features are now more intuitive, and the addition of over-the-air updates allows your car's software to stay current without you having to visit the dealership.
New Customization Options
The 2025 Carrera S offers a new layer of standard features and gives you the opportunity to customize. With Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur options, you can choose practically every detail of your car, from stitching colors to badging. The standard features on the Carrera S include sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an innovative driver memory system. The interior trim options have expanded, with new inlay choices, available colors, and leather package options.
You can now customize your Carrera S with a variety of wheel designs, brake caliper finishes, and exterior accent options, making your vehicle truly one of a kind. Porsche has also added paint-to-sample options, allowing you to choose unique colors.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The 2025 Carrera S is powered by a redesigned 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer six-cylinder engine that produces 473 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, which is a 30-horsepower increase over the previous Carrera S. This power translates into quicker, more exciting driving while still having the same balanced and composed feeling as before. With the PDK dual-clutch transmission, the Coupe goes from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.1 seconds, which is faster than the previous model by 0.2 seconds, and its top track speed of 191 mph puts it right in the performance range.
Porsche has not yet confirmed whether a manual transmission option will be available in 2025, but the eight-speed PDK is standard. The chassis features rear-wheel drive, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and four-wheel independent suspension.
Coupe vs. Cabriolet: Which Should You Choose?
Choosing the ideal Porsche Carrera S is more of a lifestyle choice than anything else. Although the Coupe and Cabriolet have the same performance numbers and mechanical specifications, their driving experiences are distinct and nuanced.
The Coupe offers slightly more structural rigidity and a lower curb weight, providing you with a more connected feel, and is the best option if you prefer the dynamics of a closed cabin as well as everyday drivability.
The Cabriolet weighs slightly more at 3,609 pounds but adds an element of open-air excitement to the experience. The soft top folds up and down quickly and provides excellent insulation when closed. Modern chassis tuning limits any compromise in handling, making the Cabriolet a viable option for performance driving.
Both are equipped with seating for four passengers, 4.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and all of the creature comfort options and convenience features you require. Your selection depends on whether you value the practicality of an all-season hardtop or the freedom of a top-down.
