In 1992, the Porsche 911 Turbo was upgraded to a more powerful 3.6- liter engine that produced 320 horsepower and could catapult the 911 Turbo to a top speed of 168 miles per hour, with a 0-60 mph time of just 4.8 seconds. It was the introduction of an all-wheel drive Carrera 4 model that really captured the attention of the automotive community as a whole (it was revolutionary for its time). In addition to the base model Carrera Coupe, Cabriolet and, Targa versions, the 1990 Porsche 911 offerings also included a Type 964 Turbo option with a turbocharged 3.3- liter boxer engine. It featured a 3.6- liter boxer engine that produced an impressive 250 horsepower. The Porsche 911 (Type 964) looked virtually the same as its predecessor, save for the introduction of aerodynamic bumpers and an automatically-extending rear spoiler. In 1977 came 911 Turbo 3.3 which added a charge air cooler and 300 hp for a sub 5 second sprint to sixty and 13 second quarter mile time. On the naturally aspirated side the 911 Carrera replaced the SC in 1983 and, having an engine capacity of 3.2 litres and 231 hp, became a much loved collector’s piece. From a performance perspective however, the most notable G-Series model was first 911 Turbo with a three-liter engine and 260 hp it seriously amped up straight line acceleration numbers. Known as the ‘G-model’, the new generation 911 was built from 1973 to 1989. Ten years after the 911 launched Porsche gave the 911 a comprehensive makeover. Where the Porsche 911 made up for it was in the way it handled and the way it worked on a circuit. Straight line acceleration and zero to sixty mph were well behind the American muscle cars and Italian sports cars of the time.

In the early years Porsche 911s were not known for straight line speed, in fact the was not initially regarded as the “gold standard” of sports cars.

At least that way you can compare Porsche 911 performance by era and see which Porsche 911 is the fastest accelerating or most powerful of its time. Therefore, comparing all Porsche 911 0-60mph times does not seem very intuitive and helpful so instead, we broke out the list into generations. Porsche 911: 0-60 MPH, 1/4 Mile & Top SpeedĮvery generation of Porsche 911 is faster than the previous one. Hopefully that works for you guys but let us know if it doesn’t.Īlso see: Top 100 cars around Nurburgring (we counted 27 Porsches). We sorted them a few different ways (by top 20 0-60, then top 20 1/4 mile and finally by model. With all of this in mind we went through our Porsche model list to find the acceleration times and put them on this page. Hit 60 mph in a 911, you can do that anywhere you want, anytime you want. Any modern 911 will almost hit 200 mph and you can do that speed exactly nowhere. You can feel a Porsche’s 0-60 mph time and even quarter mile in a way that you can’t with top speed.

There is just something about a car going from standstill to sixty mph that gets car guys talking, it is the bread and butter of car enthusiast arguments and has been for decades. While lap times and top speed numbers were important, most of you wanted to see Porsche 0 – 60 mph and quarter miles times. You guys wanted Porsche performance numbers by model. All that work and it took all of a week for readers to ask for more. We even had the guts to take on the greatest Porsches ever, the best race cars and picked the definitive list of the greatest 911s and non 911s. This year alone we spent six months researching Porsche history, we compiled a list of every Porsche model ever made, grabbed all the specs and performance numbers and put them all in one place.

Updated July 2019: 992 911 & 718 GT4 numbersĪvid readers of know we are huge Porsche fans (obsessed may be a more accurate description actually).
