2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S

Buried in the tail is a 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces 400 horsepower, and can be paired with either a PDK or the new seven-speed manual gearbox. A 911 Carrera S equipped with the auto-shifting unit can run from 0-62 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds. If you opt for the Sport Plus package, that time drops to just 4.1 seconds. Seeing as this is a Porsche, the Sport Plus package is just one of many things you will be opting for.

Are you in the market for the latest 911? You’ll need at least $96,400 to put a Carrera S in your driveway. That’s $13,771.43 per gear.

Special waterproof for Porsche 911

What’s the world’s most practical supercar? We’re sure some Corvette and GT-R fanatics would answer otherwise, but we’re going to go with the Porsche 911, in one of its many fantastic iterations. Narrowing it down a little further, we’ll go with the 911 Turbo coupe, which offers at least vestigial rear seats, all-wheel drive and several hundred horsepower, all lined in a sumptuously luxurious leather-clad cabin.
