911 (991) [Official] Porsche 911 (991) facelift

[Centurion]

Somewhere, second hand 911R customers are shitting brick while hurling their phone into the nearest wall.

I never understood why people paid anything over sticker for a 911R when you knew full well that a new 911 GT3 was coming. Porsche just made complete fools out of their customers and the dealers laughed all the way to bank and now this. 911R was a complete rip off. Just dumb at this point.

I am so happy this happened, the GT allocation game was getting completely ridiculous - people were treating it as free money. Hope a bunch of speculators/stealers got badly burned.

To add insult I hope it's better than the 911R so that speculators are taught a lesson.

Of course. 911R uses the 991.1.RS engine which while improved is still based on the old 991.1 GT3 based engine which has issues. Plus FWIW, will never be raced and no motorsports use. Compared to the new engine, which is based on the unit in the new RSR.

Love the cloth seats.

I love how some 911R owners are defending their 911Rs on IG with explanations to the effect of, "the 991R will always be a special edition, this is not"...

I saw the Salmondrin guy put his wrapped 911R up for consignment for around $500k. Hilarious

Porsche will still be playing hard to get, but in this instance, patience is virtue.

Just a little more than a year ago:

Oh really, so he has quietly put his 911R up for sale? Is the link still up?

Yes, and it looks like the listing just disappeared. Here it is at the dealership posted by the sales manager

The 4.0 engine in the Touring has a much better mid-range torque compared to the older 991.1 engines, so the performance should be better than the 911 R's.

Btw: how's that the topspeed is 316 in this and 320 in the manual GT3? Drag can't be the reason.

Thanks for the find and I have just edited your post, the hot linking seems to work for me.

Thanks! I guess they must have enabled it now. Last time I hotlinked from them was in 2010!

That's a very classy looking 991. The alloys are awesome.

The new 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T

Porsche is reinvigorating the concept of the puristic 911 T model from 1968 with the new 2018 911 Carrera T. With less weight, a manual transmission with a shorter constant transaxle ratio, and a standard mechanical rear differential lock, performance and driving pleasure are heightened. The 911 Carrera T ("T" stands for Touring) is also equipped with several performance-enhancing features that are not available on the standard 911 Carrera. This includes the PASM Sport Suspension with a 0.39-inch (10 mm) lower ride height, a shortened gear lever with an embossed shift pattern in red, and seat centers made of Sport-Tex material. Rear-axle steering is not available for the standard 911 Carrera but is an option for the 911 Carrera T.

Based on the 370 hp 911 Carrera Coupe, the new model features unique design elements. The 911 Carrera T is equipped to be light and sporty: The rear windshield and rear side windows are made of lightweight glass, and door opener loops on the inside replace the conventional door openers. Similar to the 911 GTS models, sound insulation has been reduced. Weighing 3,142 pounds, the 911 Carrera T is the lightest model in the 911 Carrera range.

Hard to classify this is... is it a poor man's (relatively speaking) 911R or GT3 Touring? But with the turbocharged engine it is quite likely quicker than a manual GT3 Touring or 911R in the real world - engine experience is incomparable of course.

Either way, another fantastic addition for "purists".

Anybody keeping tab on the number of 991 versions? I think they're up to 24 now.

Like it very simplistic
