I had a 2014 991 GT3 that came to me with delivery mileage and on engine number 2.
That engine failed and i got a 3rd that was revised.
I believe there was a fourth released after that?

So when shopping for a 991 GT3 what is the engine code needed for the revised 4th engine?

I assume lots of the low mileage cars for sale that are now out of warranty are still on engine 2 and are to be avoided obviously.

All 991 GT3 cars have had the engine warranty automatically extended for ten years. I know this because when a friend took his 2014 GT3 in for a service at an OPC the computer highlighted this.
Note, this engine warranty only covers the engine and is not in any way related to the Extended Porsche Car Warranty that covers the whole car.
Thanks MD. Just found this over on Renns...

Dear Mr. Carr

We are writing with pleasure to inform you of an enhancement to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty on your 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 model having Vehicle Identification Number (XXX). In addition to the bumper-to-bumper coverage, which you have for four years from your vehicle's original in-service date, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, we are extending the coverage on your vehicle's engine.

Effective at once, the limited warranty on all your vehicle's internal engine components continues for ten years from your vehicle's original in-service date, up to 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

All other terms and conditions of your New Vehicle Limited Warranty remain unchanged and still apply as they appear in the Porsche Warranty Booklet that came with your GT3 model. You do not need to do anything in order to place this extension into effect; we already have applied it to your vehicle. This extended engine coverage, like all other terms and conditions of the Porsche New Vehicle Limited Warranty, are transferable to subsequent owners. Please keep this letter in your Porsche Warranty Booklet and ensure that it remains with your Porsche GT3 should you sell it.

You selected a flagship Porsche model and we are committed to offering you a delightful and worry-free ownership experience. All of us at Porsche appreciate your business and your loyalty.

Sincerely yours,

Glenn Garde
Vice President, Customer Relations
