2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
$106,500
Plus Taxes & LicensingThis is our 74,416th review of a Porsche 911. It’s long been our goal to test every version of Porsche’s rear-engine sports car, but there’s more to this quest than pure journalistic curiosity. It’s as much about love, admiration, and respect. Sure, we’re eager to report on the changes made to every variant of this unique machine, a process we started all over again 16 months ago with the introduction of the latest 911 model, code-named 992. But the joy of driving it again and again is its own reward. So, go ahead and call us 911 fanboys and fangirls; it’s a badge we wear with honor.
