The picture is a 911. The sticker is three cars.
The door is shut. I sit with the picture before I move the numbers. Checkout is not the product. The 911 is the goal picture. The payment, the term, the miles, and the residual are the error signal that tells me whether the picture still fits.
Porsche USA publishes starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices for the current Carrera-class coupes I fetched on 29 August 2026. Those stickers exclude options, taxes, title, registration, the delivery, processing and handling fee, dealer charges, and potential tariffs. The dealer sets the selling price.
I do not invent a fourth sticker. Carrera, Carrera S, and Carrera GTS are the three trims this page is written around because those are the three names the search query usually means, and Porsche USA prints all three.
911 Carrera. From $135,500. Porsche USA, 911 Carrera model page. 388 hp, 0-60 mph in 3.9 s.
911 Carrera S. From $156,200. Porsche USA, 911 Carrera S model page. 473 hp, 0-60 mph in 3.3 s.
911 Carrera GTS. From $181,000. Porsche USA, 911 Carrera GTS model page. 532 hp combined, 0-60 mph in 2.9 s with Sport Chrono.
Porsche USA also prints Carrera T from $148,000, Carrera 4S from $164,500, and Carrera 4 GTS from $189,300 on the same pages. Those are published stickers. They are not extra monthly estimates.
The monthly I can publish is one Carrera-class row
Luxemetry does not have a separate calculator row for Carrera, Carrera S, and Carrera GTS. The live 911 model is a generic Carrera-class car at $175,000 MSRP, a 63% residual ($110,250), and a 1% transaction discount. On 36 months, 10,000 miles a year, a 0.00270 money factor (6.48% comparison shorthand, not loan APR), 10% cash down, $1,095 capitalized fees, $1,200 upfront fees, and 7.25% tax on the payment, the site estimate is about $2,162 a month and $20,862 due at signing. Those figures already live on the Porsche brand how-much page and the 911 disclosure-reading guide. They are not a dealer quote.
That $175,000 row sits between the official Carrera S sticker ($156,200) and the official Carrera GTS sticker ($181,000). It is a planning composite, not a Porsche USA trim. A well-optioned Carrera S or a lightly optioned GTS can land near it. A base Carrera at $135,500 is a cheaper car than this row. I do not scale $2,162 up or down to fake a Carrera payment or a GTS payment.
The 911 disclosure guide reconstructs the same $2,162: agreed value $173,250, residual $110,250, monthly depreciation about $1,294, rent charge about $721, taxed payment about $2,162, modeled total cash about $96,517 over 36 months. I read that progression before I treat the monthly as real.
Carrera-class model (this site). MSRP $175,000. Residual 63% ($110,250). Market adj. -1%. About $2,162 a month. Due at signing $20,862. 36 months, 10,000 miles, 0.00270 money factor.
What this row is not. Not a Porsche Financial Services program. Not a Carrera, Carrera S, or GTS quote. Not a GT3 or Turbo S.
I do not invent Carrera, S, or GTS monthly payments
A lease payment is not sticker divided by 36. Residual is a percentage of MSRP for an exact term and mileage. Money factor is a lender input. Cash due at signing changes the optics more than the economics. Without those three, a monthly is a teaser.
Porsche USA prints an example monthly next to each sticker — Carrera e.g. $1,417.23, Carrera S e.g. $1,592.39, Carrera GTS e.g. $1,840.09. The pages I fetched do not publish residual, term, miles, money factor, or cash due for those teasers. I cite the printed figures because they are on the official pages. I do not use them as planning money, and I do not explain the gap to $2,162 by guessing a program.
Porsche Financial Services current-offers page, fetched 29 August 2026, publishes worked Macan, Macan Electric, Cayenne, and Panamera examples with term, miles, and cash due. It does not publish a matching national 911 worksheet. Local dealer ads exist. They are not this page.
A GT3 or Turbo S is a different car than this Carrera-class row. The brand Porsche page already says those monthly figures are not published here. I leave them unpublished.
If a 911 quote is missing capitalized cost, residual for this term and mileage, money factor, term, or miles, it is not a quote I can audit. I write the method and stop. I do not fill the blank.
How I use a 911 quote
I agree the selling price as if I were paying cash. Then I ask for the five inputs: capitalized cost, residual percentage for this exact term and mileage, money factor, term, and mileage allowance. I put those five into the lease calculator. If the formula and the worksheet disagree, a fee is in the deal that I have not been shown.
The 911 disclosure-reading guide is the line-by-line audit of the same Carrera-class model. The brand Porsche how-much page is the rest of the range — Macan through Taycan — so I do not pretend a 911 payment is a Porsche payment.
These estimates use 10,000 miles a year. If I need more, the residual falls. That is cheaper than paying excess-mileage at return. A large check at signing is prepaid depreciation, not equity.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is it to lease a Porsche 911 in 2026?
- Luxemetry's published Carrera-class model is about $2,162 a month and $20,862 due at signing on 36 months, 10,000 miles, a $175,000 MSRP, a 63% residual, and a 0.00270 money factor. That is a site estimate, not a dealer quote. Porsche USA starting stickers I fetched are Carrera from $135,500, Carrera S from $156,200, and Carrera GTS from $181,000. Per-trim monthlies are not published here because residual and money factor are not on those pages.
- How much is a Carrera versus a Carrera S versus a GTS to lease?
- Porsche USA prints the three starting stickers: $135,500, $156,200, and $181,000. It also prints example monthlies ($1,417.23, $1,592.39, $1,840.09) without residual, term, miles, or money factor on the pages I fetched. I do not invent a Luxemetry monthly for each trim. The one monthly this site publishes is the generic Carrera-class row at about $2,162.
- Why is Luxemetry's $2,162 different from Porsche USA's example monthlies?
- Because the official example monthlies do not publish residual, term, miles, money factor, or cash due on the pages I fetched, so they are not comparable to the site model. The $2,162 figure uses stated assumptions: $175,000 MSRP, 63% residual, 36 months, 10,000 miles, 0.00270 money factor, 10% down. I do not guess which inputs produce $1,417.23.
- Does this include a GT3 or Turbo S?
- No. Those cars are not the Carrera-class row. The brand Porsche page already says a GT3 or Turbo S would price higher than $2,162 and that those monthly figures are not published here. This page does not invent them.
- Does Porsche subsidize 911 leases?
- Sometimes, on specific models and terms, through Porsche Financial Services. The site model assumes a market-rate 0.00270 money factor with no subsidy. Ask whether a program is running on the exact car, term, and miles in front of you, and get residual and money factor in writing.
