EXTERIOR

The introduction of the second generation 991 saw some subtle but notable exterior design changes, whilst retaining the iconic 911 formula that has worked so well for the past 50 years. This example is finished in the timeless shade of Jet Black Metallic, offset by the Carrera Classic alloys. Paintwork remains in fabulous condition having recently benefitted from our professional detailing. The bodywork presents free from any dents, scuffs, or major blemishes, with just a couple of very minor stone chips to note.

INTERIOR

Echoing the subtle upgrades to the exterior, inside the 991.2 also saw a shift in modern touches. Swathed with soft, supple black leather, the interior presents extremely well with only the lightest signs of use. The susceptible bolsters are clear from any misshaping or creases. All switchgear and equipment work faultlessly.

WHEELS AND TYRES

20” diamond cut Carrera Classic alloys are unmarked and blemish-free.

Tyres are matching Pirelli P-Zero’s and will be supplied with two new rear tyres upon sale.

Front – 245/25 ZR 20 (91Y)

Rear – 305/30 ZR 20 (103Y)

SERVICE HISTORY & PROVENANCE

Supplied new by Porsche Centre Wilmslow on 30th June 2016, this low mileage, low owner example benefits from full Porsche servicing. The intervals are as follows:

28/08/2018 – 9,949 miles – Porsche Centre Wilmslow

28/11/2020 – 19,909 miles – Porsche Service Centre Brooklands

The car comes with the original black leather owners wallet, alongside all handbooks and both keys.

THE DRIVE & ENGINE

The 991.2 represents the biggest single change to the Carrera since the introduction of water-cooled engines in the 996. But while Pinky Lai’s creation altered the way the 911’s cylinders were cooled, the second generation engine design changes the way air enters the cylinders.

In Carrera trim, the 3.0-litre powerplant turns out an impressive 370hp but what is perhaps more remarkable though is the increase in torque. While the outgoing Carrera reached peak torque at 5,600rpm, the 991.2 gets there at just 1,700rpm before sustaining it all the way to 5,000rpm.

To deal with the extra torque, gear ratios were lengthened from third gear upwards. The 7-speed PDK gearbox on this example offers seamless, rapid gear changes that are so synonymous with the iconic Doppelkupplungsgetriebe.

This 911 Carrera (having been exclusively cared for by Porsche Main Dealer) performs without fault as you’d expect, and presents itself as perhaps the pinnacle of an all-round, useable sports car that can turn its hand to any activity.
