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.

| 911 Carrera | $129,950 | $122,095 | +$7,855 |

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.
