Porsche 911 991 (7th Generation)

20122019 · 991 · coupe

Seventh-gen 911. 991.1 (2012-2015) is the last naturally aspirated Carrera; 991.2 (2016-2019) turbocharged the entire Carrera lineup with the 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six. Electric power steering replaced hydraulic — controversial — and the wheelbase grew. The 991 GT3 (2014+) kept naturally aspirated.

Watch out: 991.1 (2012-2015) had a small number of bore-scoring incidents on the 9A1 engine — relatively rare but worth a pre-purchase compression and leakdown test. Electric power steering is fine; the chassis is excellent.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
