Porsche 911 Carrera Rental in Orange County
This blue Porsche 911 Carrera with a black interior is based in Orange County, the previous-generation, narrower-bodied 911 in our fleet. Blue is the quieter, enthusiast's colour a car person will clock and say nothing about, and it is the lowest priced way into this badge and layout. Book it when the 911 itself is the point, not the generation.
How It Drives
This is the cheapest way into a 911 on our entire row and nothing essential has been removed to get there. 370 horsepower from a twin-turbo flat six mounted behind the rear axle, rear-wheel drive, sixty in 4.4 seconds. The engine hanging out the back is what gives a 911 its traction out of a corner and the sensation of the car pivoting around a point behind your hips, and both are present here exactly as they are in the faster cars we keep. On Ortega Highway the steering, the driving position and the feeling of a flat six behind you are all the genuine article. The rest, on paper, is just numbers.
How It Photographs
Blue over black is a quiet spec on a shape that does not need help. The blue reads close to navy in shade and shows its actual colour under direct sun, so the same car gives two different moods depending on when you shoot it. The narrower body and separate tail lamps of this generation are the detail a car person frames on purpose, a small but real difference from the wider 911s further along our row. Shot along Pacific Coast Highway through Laguna Beach, with the water behind it, the silhouette reads instantly even with the car small in the frame.
Why This One
This is the cheapest 911 on our row by three hundred dollars a day over our red Carrera, and everything that makes a 911 a 911 is present, the flat six behind the rear axle, the driving position, the steering. What the red car gives you for the extra money is a wider, newer-generation body and nine more horsepower, which you will not feel on any public road. If the badge and the layout are the reason you are booking, take this one and put the difference toward a second day.
What's On This One
This is the 911 Carrera, blue over black, the previous-generation, narrower-bodied 911 in our fleet. A 3.0 litre twin-turbo flat six makes 370 horsepower and 331 lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed PDK with a full-size gear lever and physical buttons on the console. Standard on this trim: adaptive dampers set 10 millimetres lower, a 7-inch touchscreen, and the ignition on the left, here a physical key rather than the twist switch or push button on the newer cars we keep. Four seats, two doors, and separate tail lamps rather than the full-width light bar of the cars around it on our row.
