5 reasons to buy the 2014 Porsche 911

1. Multiple engine configurations 

There are multiple engine configurations to choose from for the 2014 Porsche 911, so make sure you know what power level you’re looking for before you go shopping. The 3.4L Carrera engine produces 350 hp, the 3.8L Carrera S, Carrera 4S, and Targa 4S engines produce 400 hp, and the 50th anniversary edition of the 2014 Porsche 911 has also has a 3.8L engine plus the Powerkit upgrade, which takes it to 430 hp. On the top end, the Turbo and Turbo S have 3.8L engines producing 520 and 560 hp respectively, if you’re aiming for the most power you can get. 

2. New for 2014 

One of the appealing things about the 2014 Porsche 911 is the new elements it brings to the table for this model year. Porsche added multiple new models – the Turbo, Turbo S, and the GT3, as well as the Targa and Turbo convertible variants. Plus, there’s a 50th anniversary edition for this year, which is worth looking out for if the 911’s legacy is exciting to you. 

3. Accommodates tall drivers 

It’s fair to assume that, generally, a luxury sports car isn’t going to be kind to tall drivers. However, the 2014 Porsche 911 is surprisingly roomy and comfortable. Plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustability helps, but even without that, there’s a generous amount of headroom – 39.7 inches – meaning even longer-bodied people can enjoy the 911. 

4. Balanced performance 

You might be surprised to learn that, for all its power, the 2014 Porsche 911 actually gets good mpg. The base 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models with their 3.4L, 350 hp engines get an EPA-estimated 23 combined mpg, leaving you free to enjoy your trip.

Even the most powerful configuration — the 4S trim with the 3.8L 400 hp engine and manual transmission — manages an EPA-estimated 21 combined mpg. 

5. Effortless acceleration 

Less surprising for its class is the fact that the 2014 Porsche 911 has stellar acceleration. The 3.4L, 350 hp Carrera Cabriolet can reach zero-to-60 in 4.8 seconds, and the Turbo dashes from zero-to-60 in just 3.2 seconds. If powerful acceleration is your goal, keep an eye out for the Turbo S, which reaches zero-to-60 in an astonishing 2.9 seconds.
