If you were debating dropping some cash on a new Porsche 911, we have some bad news: it’s going to cost a bit more. The company’s 2026 configurator is already up, and the least-expensive 911 now starts at $129,950. For the record, that’s a jump of $7,855.
Just a few years ago, $130,000 got you a range-topping Carrera model. As Road & Track points out, however, there’s more standard equipment for the base Carrera. The Black Leather package, formerly a $2,840 add-on, is now included. If you prefer anything other than black, however, you’ll pay either $3,110 for a single color or $3,540 for a two-tone pattern. For that matter, any exterior color other than black or white is at least $830. This is still Porsche, after all.
There’s also been an adjustment in transport fees. Porsche increased its destination fee by $255 for all 911 models, rising from $1,995 to $2,250. The Carrera’s $129,950 starting price includes the fee.
Most other Carrera trims see a price increase of approximately $5,000, with one exception. The 2026 Carrera S in both hardtop and Cabriolet form doesn’t change, save for the higher destination charge. Here’s a quick look at 2026 911 Carrera pricing versus 2025, destination included.

Porsche didn’t immediately reply to our question about the price bump, notably if pending tariffs have anything to do with it. Unless things change, Porsche could be facing a 25-percent tariff in the US on all its vehicles starting April 3. That may not phase 911 buyers, but it could put a dent in Porsche’s volume-selling SUV segment. With Porsche eyeing a shift to EVs—a segment that hasn’t taken off quite like anyone hoped—the future could get rough.
We’ll jump in with an update if new information becomes available.
