Porsche 911 Carrera/S/4/4S/GTS (991)










The current Porsche 911 needs little introduction. It has become commonplace compared to other exotic sports cars, especially where I live. The main difference between the 991.1 (2012-16) and the 991.2 (2017-) is that the former had a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with 345 horses and 288 ft-lbs. in the base model, a 3.8-liter flat-six producing 395 horses and 325 ft-lbs. in the S model, and 424 horses in the GTS; the latter uses a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six churning out anywhere between 365 to 444 horses and 332 to 406 ft-lbs. among the base, S, and GTS models. The 991.2 also has a few minor cosmetic enhancements compared to the original 991. Overall, the Porsche 911 991-gen is a great daily driver and weekend toy, even with its rear-engine layout and somewhat small front trunk; it is the best and most sophisticated 911 to date.
