5 Luxury Cars That Are More Reliable Than They Look – SlashGear

Porsche models have been a spectacle of engineering brilliance for generations. Beginning in the 1960s with the introduction of the 911, Porsche has continued to build iconic sports cars that turn heads and tickle the imagination. The 911 incorporates a body curvature that’s classically “Porsche” in style. 

The downward sweep of the hood between the two raised headlight channels, and the elongated falling curve behind the passenger compartment, come together to scream out luxury Porsche design. However, under all this detailing and immaculate bodywork is a car that’s capable of winning on the track, while offering significant daily driving reliability for the contemporary owner. According to J.D. Power, the quality and reliability rating for the 2023 Porsche 911 remains at a “Great” 85/100 rating, same as the previous model year.

Porsche 911 models come in a wide range of trim levels: From the 911 Carrera, starting at $114,400, to the 911 Turbo S (from $230,400), and racing models like the 911 GT3 RS or 911 Dakar. A common choice for drivers, the 911 Carrera S (from $131,300) offers a top track speed of 191 miles per hour, horsepower rated at 443 max output, and a 0-60 acceleration time of 3.5 seconds. The 911 Carrera S is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged Boxer Six engine that’s mated to an eight-speed Porsche PDK automatic, or seven-speed manual transmission.
