Porsche 911 Engines and Transmissions

The rear-mounted Porsche 911 engine gives this generation its distinctive driving character. Selected examples include the 3.3 MT Coupe and 2.7 MT Roadster, both pairing gasoline engines with manual transmissions and rear-wheel drive. If you expect frequent traffic, assess clutch effort and ease of gear selection during a test drive.
