Which Is The Best Porsche 991 To Buy? | The Complete Guide To The Porsche 911 991

You may have seen my last two tutorials on the Porsche 996 and 997 ranges of the 911. I'll link to them in the description and there will be a pop-up at the top of the screen that you can click on this time too, although we took a Look at the Porsche 991 range of the 911 like the last two times. I created a

guide

that shows all the different models in a very nuanced range. Porsche really is a master at producing a product and then differentiating it to suit all tastes. What you're looking for is comfort, power or handling. It's a great idea on Porsche's part, but it tends to make range a little impenetrable, so I hope that by the end of this, if you're looking for a 991, you'll have it.

Be better informed for your search and you will be able to look for really good and special cars compared to the cynical special parts bins and the 991 range has a huge amount to offer with some very rare cars and also some radical engineering changes that we will spend for some time , looking at the basics first, the Porsche 991 replaced the 997 and was launched at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and they continued to build it until 2019. So it's the 911 range that has just been discontinued recently, pro. of the Porsche 992 that they are currently building at the time of filming and

which

some of us are struggling to differentiate from the 991, the product philosophy of a mid-product cycle update was continued, so the cars can be divided between the produced until 2016, commonly called However, the 991.1 and those between 2016 and 2019 commonly called 991.2, the 991.2 is actually more than a simple update, as we will see later, because it introduced turbo engines in all models instead of just the 911 turbo itself, as with the Porsche 997.

The range is divided into five model lines: the Carrera models, the GTS models,

which

were launched in the 997 era and continued here, the Turbo models, the GT models and various special editions which, as we will see, are very interesting, although the 991 range started with the Carrera and Targa models in 2012 and their more powerful S versions, the all-new styling moved the game significantly forward and the 991 was a bigger car than Its predecessor, although weighing a similar amount with power improvements over the previous model, was still very obviously a However, the 911 is not revolutionary, fortunately the 9a1 engines and pdk transmissions were carried over from the 997, albeit in different capacities and With higher performance, the base Carrera and Targa had 3.4 liters and 345 horsepower, but if you wanted a little more for your money. you could choose the 3.8-litre spec and you'd get a 50hp upgrade to 395bhp.

A seven-speed manual transmission could also be specified and it wasn't long before Porsche gave us a special edition that came in the form of a 50th Anniversary Edition Model in 2013 that had special colors and wonderful leatherette seat fabric. rooster. However, the first change in design thinking was the return to the shape of the targa models so far in the 996 and 997 models, the targa did not replicate the original thinking of the removable hard panel of the original in favor of a roof of sliding glass and a glass rear door is not to everyone's taste, but hey, and neither one thing nor the other, this time Porsche went back to the original concept but expanded the engineering brainpower so that the hard panel was stowed away with a simple press the switch for me this is a real return to form and Porsche produced a car that I think is a really nice car.

Interestingly, the 991 range was largely a wide body range with only the base Carrera 2s having a narrower one. Body The turbo range came online in 2013 with a wider body that included the turbo with its 3.8 liters and 513 horsepower and the even more powerful turbo s model with the same 3.8 but with 552 horsepower. They could be specified in convertible form ii. The GTS was launched in 2014 and became an even more distinctive model in the range in its own right, generating 424 horsepower from its 3.8-liter engine more than the S model and also came with exclusive GTS interior trim, an attractive proposition. for those who wanted something more than an s but perhaps did not want the touch of the turbo style and of course to pay its price in the 997 they were considered one of the options in the range and it is no different here in the 991 and with the gts too They have another special edition to the range with the GTS Rensport Reunion Edition.

They only made 25 of these to commemorate the world's largest gathering of modern Porsches that takes place every three years. This was modified to make a little more power than the standard gts. The gt models. of 991 stand out, firstly, for their absence in the first phase and, secondly, for the furor caused by a deficient piece. Porsche introduced the new GT3 in 2014 with a 3.8 meter, 493 horsepower engine, but was quickly forced to suspend production after several owners were victims of engine fires without blinding them with engineering terms that, frankly, , with my less than rudimentary engineering skills I cannot hope to understand much less explain to you.

Porsche informed its customers that a manufacturing defect in things called finger followers was produced and the 785 cars that had been produced so far had to be recalled for new engines to be installed. Porsche also provided extended warranties for these customers. They even met face-to-face with a group of American customers to express their concerns. Let's say the litigious nature to rest the gt3 rs appeared in 2015 with a four-liter 493 horsepower engine and then for a year only produced the 911 r model dating back to the targa florio road race r of the 1960s and was based on the gt3 rs. and had the same engine and power, but was also the lightest of all the 991s, using weight-saving measures such as a magnesium roof and carbon fiber lids, it dispensed with the aerodynamic kit of the gt3 rs, variously described as a trash car or range pick, they built only 991 of them and in fact they were very desirable at the time, Porsche then ruined the car's legacy by producing the gt3 touring later, in the second phase of the 991, and these They were produced in much larger quantities.

Much to the chagrin of our owners, in 2016 Porsche updated the range and began producing the 991.2 cars which had styling that as far as I can reasonably see and certainly from 10 feet appears to have been continued in the 992, this is where we come to our Second big change in the change to turbo engines for all Carrera and Carrera s models. The models upgraded to three-liter turbo engines producing 365 horsepower and 414 horsepower respectively. Coincidentally, 414 horsepower is the same amount as a standard 996 turbo. There was a new race t. which stood for touring which was a slightly lighter version of the standard Carrera and a partial container model, from what I can see the GTS models also had three liter engines with 444 horsepower and their range was expanded to include Both a Targa 4 GTS and Carrera 4 GTS Turbo models retain their 3.8-liter engines from the first phase 991.1, but generated 533 horsepower for the turbo and 572 horsepower for the turbo.

Porsche spent some engineering and product management time on the turbo in this phase two to produce the turbo. exclusive model with 599 horsepower, all 500 units were produced in this wonderful shade of yellow and included luxuries such as carbon ceramic brakes and the many and varied accessories from the exclusive Porsche workshop, such as a carbon woven interior finish, something quite exquisite in my opinion and the most beautiful and powerful turbo s to date the gt models that were conspicuous by their absence in the 991.1 phase returned in the second phase of the 991 from the sublime to the ridiculous let's start with the gt3 that came with 4 liters and 493 horsepower and what some called the

best

porsche

ever made at the time, the gt3 touring, this really continued what the model r had started before, but gave people who wanted a less noisy road car and a little more comfortable a track capability, I can't imagine that someone who thought the r would be a neat little investment, was in love with it, but who cares, the new gt3 rs arrived in 2018 with 513 horsepower and then as i mentioned before the ridiculousness of the gt2 rs with its ungodly and downright insane 690 horsepower and all the aero kits and carbon fiber that could be fixed on any car, it's a wonder the thing couldn't fly, in fact, like that Let us finish with the two sold out specials, the 935 design for the track and the new sprinter, one of which was the The last 991 ever produced we must also make special mention that the millionth Porsche 911 manufactured was a 991.

The 935 It was a modern version of the original and famous Moby Dick 935 racing car and was designed to look very similar with its whale tail and its car inside a Car design made exclusively for the track and eliminating details such as the headlights, it used the engine gt2 rs and otherwise

ly stripped of all unnecessary weight and offered to special Porsche customers. They made only 77 of them. I'm aware that there are athletics clubs for the very rich where you can keep your car at the track and take it out whenever you want to play perfect for that and if that's you then I hate you so much for being able to do it when I can't just Just kidding, like I said, the last 991 was a sprinter which continued with the 997 and previous generations producing sprinters;

In this case, however, they merged the GT3 chassis with the Carrera 4 convertible body and gave it the GT3's 4-liter, 493-horsepower engine. they made only 1943 of them a word or two about prices before I go, early and fairly long nine-nines can be had for around 50,000 here in the US, so go up carefully if that's what you're looking for. really want or if a 997 could be for you the gts models cost between 70 and 160 000 turbos you can get between 90 and even 300 000 for the exclusive gt3 prices range between 100 thousand and almost five hundred thousand finally, some of the special offers that the 911 r currently sells for around three hundred thousand dollars but it is difficult to be exact because there are very few around the 50 000 anniversary model costs between 75 and 120 000 and surprisingly at the time of filming I found 15 speedsters at the selling between 320 and 375,000, all with practically no miles, God and only God knows how much the 935 costs, since the original price was close to a million dollars.

I would suggest something beyond that, so that's the tour of the Porsche 991 range, which I hope has been helpful. Stay tuned for more great movies coming your way.
