Does the Porsche 911 have AWD?

I’m looking into buying a Porsche 911, but I’d prefer a car with all-wheel drive. Will that be an option for me?

Buying a new car is exciting, especially a car as beloved as the Porsche 911. When it comes to finding a Porsche 911 with AWD, I have some good news.
It’s going to depend on the year and specs you are looking for in your
new car
, but in general, you can easily find a Porsche 911 that comes equipped with all-wheel drive.
With older Porsche 911s, there was only one variant that offered AWD, the Carrera 4. So if you’re buying a used Porsche, you should be on the lookout for that model.
With the 2022 Porsche 911, you have even more options. Most of the variants
and trims
come standard with rear-wheel drive, but you have the option of upgrading to AWD when you buy. The Porsche 911 Targa even comes with AWD as a standard feature.
Even if you aren’t sure if you need AWD, you should consider the advantages. Some benefits to AWD include:
  • Better handling in bad weather
  • Off-roading capability
  • Faster acceleration
While you might not think of the Porsche 911 as the kind of car that thrives in snow and sleet or driving off the asphalt, AWD will go a long way towards improving the car’s versatility.
Once you’ve bought your new Porsche, you’ll need a great insurance plan to pair with it.
