The Porsche 911 Is Now Even More Expensive

Science and TechnologyAutoThe Porsche 911 Is Now Even More Expensive

If you were debating dropping some cash on a new Porsche 911, we have some bad news: it’s going to cost a bit more. The company’s 2026 configurator is already up, and the least-expensive 911 now starts at $129,950. For the record, that’s a jump of $7,855.

Just a few years ago, $130,000 got you a range-topping Carrera model. As Road & Track points out, however, there’s more standard equipment for the base Carrera. The Black Leather package, formerly a $2,840 add-on, is now included. If you prefer anything other than black, however, you’ll pay either $3,110 for a single color or $3,540 for a two-tone pattern. For that matter, any exterior color other than black or white is at least $830. This is still Porsche, after all.

There’s also been an adjustment in transport fees. Porsche increased its destination fee by $255 for all 911 models, rising from $1,995 to $2,250. The Carrera’s $129,950 starting price includes the fee.

Most other Carrera trims see a price increase of approximately $5,000, with one exception. The 2026 Carrera S in both hardtop and Cabriolet form doesn’t change, save for the higher destination charge. Here’s a quick look at 2026 911 Carrera pricing versus 2025, destination included.

Model/Trim 2026 Price 2025 Price Difference
911 Carrera $129,950 $122,095 +$7,855
911 Carrera T $140,950 $135,995 +$4,955
911 Carrera S $148,650 $148,395 +$255
911 Carrera GTS $172,050 $166,895 +$5,155
911 Carrera 4 GTS $179,850 $174,695 +$5,155
911 Carrera Cabriolet $143,150 $135,395 +$7,755
911 Carrera T Cabriolet $154,150 $149,295 +$4,855
911 Carrera S Cabriolet $161,850 $161,595 +$255
911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet $185,250 $180,195 +$5,055
911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet $193,050 $187,995 +$5,055

Porsche didn’t immediately reply to our question about the price bump, notably if pending tariffs have anything to do with it. Unless things change, Porsche could be facing a 25-percent tariff in the US on all its vehicles starting April 3. That may not phase 911 buyers, but it could put a dent in Porsche’s volume-selling SUV segment. With Porsche eyeing a shift to EVs—a segment that hasn’t taken off quite like anyone hoped—the future could get rough.
