£32k of extras unusual. 991 better than 992?

Ok,maybe high spec,but does that mean every other dealer bar none has read the market wrong
and are underselling 991s?

[IMI A]

No just try and find another with £32k of options. I shouldn’t like that car but there’s something classy about it. My Mum would love it her own car specced very similar thought I’d hate but in the flesh looks amazing

Stupidly overpriced

Unrelated but can someone explain this:

Looks like the 991.1 exhaust on the 991.2 I thought all 991.2 had the narrow exhaust in the center unless that is only the sport exhaust....

Thanks in advance.

PSE has the twin centre tail pipes! This is just standard

Crazy price. Imagine it has limited market (brown metallic!) .. so trying to move it on could be interesting down the line.

Also, what is the wording ahead of the off-side rear wheel arch, Nakar ... Nakan?!

These are the Sports tailpipes available in black or silver at extra cost.

The standard tailpipes were a sort of flatish oval.

Thats the Nakamichi logo, purveyors of very high end audio, odd to see it on a Porsche ...

I like both and wouldn't pay extra for a 991 unless a very special car. This car sort of fits in that category for some as you could buy a good spec brand new Golf R for the money it costs to specify her and Porsche exclusive cars do beautifully crafted if sometimes very individual interiors. I'd still go 992 cab instead at same money though but many would go for a 991 whichever generation. Main gripes I hear from 991 owners. They do not like cupholders in 992. Door handles on exterior not tactile. Instrument dials too box saloon. Gearstick too BMW. Also lots of stories of batteries going flat and other electrical probs with 992. Too late no going back now unless you buy an old one!

Hi, on first look it seems this is a 991.1 N/A 911, I’m fairly sure no 991.2 came with quad exhausts from factory .

The Carrera S came like this on the 991.2 unless speccing the sports exhaust (and most did), when it came with 2 fairly central exhaust tips. The base Carrera had 2 reasonably ugly rectangular tips in this location, but could be specced with sports tips, making it appear as it does on the picture, or with the sports exhaust, where it would again have the 2 fairly central tips.

Yes, I thought there was something odd going on at first, it is definitely a 991.2. As has been suggested, this is the non PSE. The majority of 991.2 must have the PSE because this is something I hadn't seen before.
