I see there are various levels of 911, and the Emira currently has two engines being retailed.

Is the 911 a level above the Emira? In terms of driving feel, comfort, power and any other metric worth comparing them.

    So I’ve driven the Emira on a few different occasions, and I’ve driven every flavor of Cayman plus 991 911s.

    The 911 is a step above Emira. That should be no surprise looking at the price tags, the 911 can reach $300k for certain editions.

    Emira is a Cayman competitor, but that doesn’t tell the full story either. The Emira is more powerful and visceral than your base Caymans, and probably sits in the space between a Cayman GTS 4.0 and GT4.

    The 911 will be more comfortable, more luxurious, and more reliable.

    The Emira will be more emotional, and feel more bespoke / exotic. More feedback through the steering and more mechanical bolt-action shifts.

    The 911 feels like it was fused together from a single piece of steel. The Emira feels like it was hand assembled, which it largely was.

    Very different flavors. I love the 911, but chose Emira.
