The Porsche 911 Carrera may be the entry-level model in Porsche’s lineup, but it’s anything but an entry-level sports car.
In a world of high-performance coupes, how does the base 911 compare to its biggest rivals like the BMW M4, Chevrolet Corvette, and Jaguar F-Type?
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera comes with a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six producing 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque.
That might seem modest compared to the BMW M4 Competition’s 503 hp or the Corvette’s 495 hp, but numbers only tell part of the story.
911 Carrera: 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds (3.8 with Sport Chrono). Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds (mid-engine V8 power).
BMW M4 Competition: 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds (but with more weight). Jaguar F-Type P450: 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds (great sound, but aging platform).
While some rivals are quicker in a straight line, the 911’s rear-engine layout and legendary handling make it the most balanced and confidence-inspiring drive of the group.
Unlike the Corvette’s tiny trunk or the M4’s heavier feel, the 911 blends performance with daily comfort. It has a premium interior, smooth ride quality, and enough cargo space for weekend getaways—making it the most livable sports car in its class.
