2017–2024 7 trims · 300–493 hpTurbocharged flat-four for the ordinary cars, and a 4.0 flat-six for the people who complained.
-
981
2013–2016 4 trims · 265–385 hpNaturally aspirated, electrically steered, and the last mid-engine car with a flat-six in the ordinary trims.
-
987.2
2009–2012 3 trims · 255–330 hpDirect injection and PDK. No intermediate shaft, and a Cayman S quicker than the Carrera above it.
