what's new on the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S?

Question

Accepted Answer

The **2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S** represents the **992.2 mid-cycle refresh** with some significant upgrades over the previous 992.1 generation:

## Power & Performance
- **473 horsepower** — a 30 hp bump over the outgoing 443 hp Carrera S
- Faster 0-60: **3.1 seconds** with Sport Chrono (0.2 sec quicker than before)
- Top speed: **191 mph**
- The 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six gets new turbochargers and optimized charge-air cooling

## Standard Equipment Upgrades
- **PDK automatic-only** — no manual transmission option anymore
- **Upgraded brakes**: Now standard with the brake package from the last-gen Carrera GTS (16-inch front/15-inch rear rotors)
- **Sport exhaust** with silver tailpipes (now standard)
- **Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus** and staggered 20/21-inch wheels remain standard
- **More leather throughout**: Standard leather now covers the upper dashboard, upper door panels, and headrests

## Design & Tech
The 992.2 brings the updated front fascia design with those trick **HD matrix LED headlamps** that this car has (along with the Exclusive Design taillights). Like other 992.2 models, it features subtly revised bumper styling and lighting elements.

One small note: The listing mentions 443 hp, which was the 992.1 output — the 2025 Carrera S officially makes 473 hp, so there may be a copy error. This car's $189,900 asking price reflects all the standard upgrades plus nearly $40,000 in additional factory options though!
