What type of vehicle is Sally Carrera in Pixar's Cars?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars, Sally Carrera is a Porsche 911 Carrera.

Sally is a blue sports car who lives in Radiator Springs and operates the Cozy Cone Motel. Her design is based on the Porsche 911 Carrera, giving her a distinct silhouette among the town's older and more work-oriented vehicles. She is also the town attorney and one of the characters who encourages Lightning McQueen to understand Radiator Springs.

The character's surname deliberately matches the Carrera name used by Porsche. Sally is not a Ferrari, Corvette, or Mazda, although all are recognizable sports-car types that can make plausible wrong answers. In Cars, she helps explain the town's history and is closely connected with Doc Hudson's effort to preserve its local identity.
