Summary: The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S offers greater power and refined features but omits the manual transmission option. With the new enhancements, prices have increased significantly over the previous year.
 | This feels like the end of an era. No manual transmission means less engagement. It’s just another luxury car now, not a true sports car. |
 | Porsche claims these updates enhance the model, but will we really notice the difference in everyday driving? |
