2015 Porsche 911

The 2012-2019 Porsche 911 (991) is the seventh generation of the 911, featuring a larger, wider body and an entirely new platform. It was powered by a 3.4-liter or 3.8-liter naturally aspirated flat-six in the Carrera models and a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six in the Carrera S after the 2016 mid-cycle update. The Turbo and Turbo S received a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged engine producing 540 to 580 horsepower. Transmissions included a seven-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK. Rear-wheel drive was standard, with all-wheel drive available on Carrera 4 models. Body styles included a coupe, cabriolet, and Targa.

The 991 introduced a longer wheelbase and a wider front track compared to the 997, improving stability and interior space. It was the first 911 to use an eight-speed PDK in later models and the first to offer electric power steering, a change that generated mixed reactions from driving purists. The subsequent 992 generation further increased the body size and added a mild-hybrid system to certain models.

For used buyers, the 991 offers a refined, powerful, and technologically advanced 911 that still retains excellent driving dynamics. The naturally aspirated engines in pre-2016 models are highly regarded for their throttle response and sound, while the turbocharged 3.0-liter engines in later cars offer greater torque and efficiency. The PDK transmission is excellent, and the manual transmission is increasingly valued by enthusiasts. This generation is suitable for buyers who want a modern, daily-drivable 911 with a broad range of models from the entry-level Carrera to the track-focused GT3.
