Which Is The Best Porsche 991 To Buy? | The Complete Guide To The Porsche 911 991 

This was a great video of the progressions of the 991..........I happen to own one (991.2 and not my first Porsche) and absolutely love it! Oh Yeah..........I’ve been driving Porsches as my daily drivers for the past 40+ years and all have been “base models” with manual transmissions! PS: I’m now 76 years old and still drive somewhere every single day! Once again........a wonderful video!

The 991.2 is the greatest and the best looking 911 , its combine both words , modern and classic !!! Sead by me 😊

First of all, thank you for producing such excellent videos about my favourite car (the Porsche 911) - the in-depth information and your style of presenting make them very enjoyable and remind me of the original Top Gear. As the proud owner of a somewhat unique, 991.1 C4S Exclusive (with 50th Anniversary detailing), I feel that despite what 'purists' may believe, it's an excellent example of all that's good in a late model 911. Lighter than the 997 it replaced and with as much power as the previous Turbo. Equipped with a Porsche Sports Exhaust, its engine sounds glorious when stretched towards the redline but is just as capable of delivering excellent fuel economy in everyday driving. Unlike the rarer and more track biased GT cars, it's chassis is composed on rough surfaces and delivers a sporting but comfortable ride (especially when fitted with the DSC Sport PASM controller).. Most of the time the 4S is in fact a rear wheel drive car and whilst there's a small trade-off in weight (70kg) and steering feel, the cars ability to shuttle power to the front wheels when driving close to the limit, tightens the front end and allows the driver to make rapid progress, with considerable confidence, whatever the road or weather conditions. Visually, the 4S might not shout about its capabilities but with the exception of the Turbo, it's a blisteringly fast car point to point and all the better for being naturally aspirated. Some 911's are rarer, some are more 'classic' but IMHO, the 991.1 C4S really is all the 911 anyone could need on the road.

Easy ... GT3 Touring is the best pure drivers for the road ... 911R dialed to 11/10

991.2 gt3 for me

I miss my 991.1 GTS... the last NA Carrera GTS

Porsche didn’t make the Gt3 touring to spoil any legacy. They did that on purpose to shaft the 911R owners who wanted a million bucks for their cars. Well done Porsche. Respect for you as a manufacturer for doing all of us right. Fabulous video. Truly well made and informative. Well done 👍

Personally, my accessible and reasonable dream car, so not "money-no-issue" dream car, is the 2012 Carrera S in black with grey Sport Techno rims. Around 70k. First iteration of the 991 with the narrow body, cleanest look and not insanely expensive on the second hand market. Money no-issue, I think I'd get either a Singer, a GT3 touring or a 911r but the first one of the first 200 produced destined to 918 owners in white with red stripes, absolute perfection. New 992 are not my thing, too wide, chunky back, it's not that elegant anymore. And also, not a fan of the 4 points-led and straight lines on the bonnet in general. Old models are good for purists etc. But maintenance must be stupid high, and interior is just too old for me. I want to listen to spotify while cruising.

991.1 for me.

Best Porsche is the one you can afford and not worry about being a money pit!

GT3. 991.2 - Only ‘ new’ 911 worth buying.

RU-vid: Which 911 is best? Me: Yes! RU-vid: Wich 911 model is the best one in your opinion? Me: Yes! Yes!

I feel like the 992 is a very good incremental improvement on the 991.2 and thus in some ways a 991.3

NA flat 6 is the way to go

9K rev, perfect 6 speed, GT3 chassis, open top, limited. -----> last 991: SPEEDSTER

Answer: the one you can afford. Can't really go wrong. Its a 911.

The Targa wins. Best looking 911 ever

2015 Carrera S = Best Bang for the Buck!!

I have a 2017 991.2 4S with factory Powerkit Option and rated at 450HP. I didn't see that on the list

The 991.1 is the best Porsche with a NA motor. Hard to be the sound and handling.

991.2 GTS with PDK

No mention at all of the 4S?

A nice overview of the 991 range. Thank you.

Subscribed. Straight to the point, informative and non intrusive reminder to subscribe.

Nice series. Thanks for the time and effort!

Are you sure the Carrera T is a Wide body? Im pretty sure it isnt. I do stand to be corrected if wrong

For budget minded I'd say a Carerra S, I mean 400hp NA is nothing to sneeze at...I'd got for the GTS if I could though...

Mr Purple-The way the PDK shifts/sounds is glorious!! Car handles like a Fireblade!!!!

@JAY READ At 10:10 you included the 935 which is based off of the 991.2 but is not officially a 911 model. Besides, it’s not road legal straight from Porsche. If you’re going to mention the “track only” model, then it’s fair to include these which can be purchased by wealthy customers. •GT2 RS Clubsport •GT3 RSR The two other GT3 that’s probably not available for purchase are: •GT3 Cup •GT3 R

Nice video and summary of the model choices. But I believe there was a Carrera 4 GTS in 2015 (991.1) but the table shows it being blocked out.

991.1 GT3RS...sweet spot for me.

At 5:39 the spec is incorrect. The 3.8L GT3 in 991.1 makes 475hp, not 493hp. I think you got confused with the 991.2 GT3 with the 4.0L. You also forgot to mention the 991.1 GTS Club to commemorate 60 years of PCA which is limited to 60 units.

Currently own a 2019 Corvette Z06 and have been strongly considering trading it in for a Porsche 991.2 . Your video was incredibly helpful in this process.

Turbo S Exclusive Series was available in at least 5 other colours. The launch showed Agate Grey Metallic and Black as well as Golden Yellow Metallic

I picked up a Racing Yellow 2014 991.1 and with only 9k miles almost like a new car. I absolutely love the car.

In 2016 there was a gt3rs, yet your second chart doesn’t show one. Hmm.

That famous British car tester and commenter stated in Excellence magazine, that the 991 handles "like" a "sportscar". These are very large automobiles.

7:09 “Porsche went on to spoil the legacy of the car by producing the GT3 Touring…” Wrong. With the GT3 Touring, Porsche just made much of the R experience available for more people to enjoy. Andreas Preuninger said of the R: “I don't want them standing around in dark garages collecting dust”. The true legacy of the R is that Porsche made a manual transmission GT3 again, just as they had with the 997, 996, 993. They also worked really hard to make a new, brilliant 6-speed manual, rather than use the 991 Carrera’s rubbery 7-speed manual. Learnings from the R’s manual shifter informed development of the 991.2 and 992.

2017 991.2 4s powerkit manual with ceramic brakes, bucket seats, sport chrono, mahogany interior. That's my favorite

For me .. currently have Carrera S 992.1 NA , and saving $$ for GT3 Touring

After several months looking for a V8 convertible with at least 400bhp I finally settled on a 2018 991.2 Carrera S which I've now had for a week. The scream from the flat 6 more than makes up for the 2 missing cylinders. It also came with 2 years Porsche warranty, a major service & new tyres so no bills for a while which makes up for going £25K over budget.😉

Best summary of 991 Porsches that I’ve seen. For all your work on this superb video, you deserve a 928 that runs and functions properly. 😀

Very good compilation, my friend. Greetings from Berlin.

Nice work, one small error on the graph - Carrera T is not wide. Other than that great video!

I'm starting to look into 991s and this video was really informative. Thank you. I see the flow of 991 content on YT is slowly decreasing - most of the content is from 6-7 years ago now, and may not be as relevant anymore.

991.1 991.2 992 - that's a lot of one's ... Just give me one

So......if the 991.2 GT3 can cost up to USD$500k......then how much for the GT2RS with the Weissach package???

You forgot to illustrate the small differences between the 997.1 and 997.2,,,,

Epic video, enjoyed every second of it

Your prices are way off.

lol, I hate them very much too. Not really. I'm glad someone can play Boy Racer to the MAX. Thanks for your vids.

4s cabriolet.

Well done

Easy.The most beautifull is .. 964 .The best is always..the latest.

Love the video. Very informative.

Paid off my house and now starting to save for a down payment on a 991.1Turbo S.

You deserve so many more views Bravo on this and your others Top shelf comparisons

Everyone talks about carrera T being a parts bin model which is not. It has its own characteristic, engine mounted 2 inches further front for better handling, spoiler raised higher than any base models and comes standard with PASM sport suspension which is equipped with stiffer anti-roll bars and handles corner much better than S model. Besides, its base engine is a sweet spot because it emulated the NA feeling while being turbocharged. S and GTS due to enormous torques of more than 500NM, it has some turbo lags and sudden power surge.

I think the 50th Anniversary Edition has a 3.8L with power kit and therefore should have a power output of 420 hp.

GRANDE PORSCHE 🇮🇪 ❤️ 👍 🔝

I believe it, is the one you drive !!

Great video. Very informative

This is my favorite car but I cannot watch this video. So many images flashing in my eyes, it’s a visual assault.

You didn’t answer your own question

Good effort and nice channel. To grow subscribers may need you to show yourself.

996 is definitely for everyone to own！

Best 911 is one that’s paid for

Wich is the better choice (buy) ... 991.1 or 991.2 ?

This is just wrong! Who would say no to a 992 of money is not an issue? I sold my 991.2 for 992 because I could. I don’t see someone that Can afford a 992 to buy a 991.2 instead. This is insane!

Ferdinand Porsche must be rolling over his grave knowing his perfect sportscar turned into humongous minivan. The modern 911 is anti Ferdinand Porsche.

911 R for me😉

Very informative video

Great job, Jay!

The most wanted: 993 Carrera S. The ultimate true 911...

👌👌👌👌👌

Just what I needed in my hunt for a 991.1 4S or GTS! Still undecided.

Really ? Who cares 90 percent off population can’t afford a new Porsche

touring

That was dull...

Great editing and info... really enjoyed that part of it. The Astronaut Subscribe is super ANNOYING. I was trying to concentrate on the facts and figures being thrown out, and then this effing Astronaut flashing in the corner totally broke my concentration. For that reason alone, I found this video really irritating. On top of that, his "joke" about hating people who can afford a track car is: A) NOT FUNNY; and B) Really shows his spoilt upbringing. Entitled.
