The Porsche 911 seventh generation, known as 991, is a special car because the first generation had naturally aspirated engines (3.4L and 3.8L) and then the brand switched to 3.0L turbo for all except the Turbo, Turbo S and GT2RS that kept the 3.8L engine and the GT3’s that are still naturally aspirated. Build from 2011 to 2021, the car was available with engines that goes from 3.0L to 4.2L for the 991.2 RSR. Back to the original targa design with a fully removable roof but this time it’s automatic. In 2015 Porsche gave to customers the opportunity to buy a Targa GTS which became the most powerful targa available with 450hp.
With the 991, Porsche introduced
– Rear wheel steering available since the mk2
– The 911T : the T existed on the 911 first gen but it has been reintroduced as simple Carrera with only 2 seats and 20kg less for 10k€ more
– The rare 911R : 50kg lighter than a GT3RS with 500hp, manual gearbox and only 991 cars built. (Pic 3)
– GT3 touring : a wingless 500hp GT3
– The 935 : based on the GT2 RS, this track-only machine has a crazy body kit that is inspired by the 935/78, better known as “Moby Dick”.
Because of the 52 different 911 available, the 991 became the best-selling Porsche 911 ever with 233 540 cars sold. Here is a 991 GT2 RS 3.8L twin turbo which is the most powerful 911 ever made with 700hp.
