The Porsche 911 is one of the most legendary models in automotive history. Born as an update to the charming yet antiquated 356, the new model was originally named ‘901’ but had to change to ‘911’ due to protests by Peugeot, who had the rights to ‘middle zero’, three-digit nameplates. The 911 started off in 1964, and received numerous upgrades over the years, from impact bumpers (1974+) to turbocharging (1976+) on select models, as well as different iterations and packages, including the track-oriented Rennsport (RS) models from 1972 onwards. The many generations of the 911 came with revised gearboxes, interiors and engines, from the initial 2.0L to the 4.0L in the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011), the biggest ever fit in a 911.

The very essence of the Porsche 911 remains unchanged to this day, however: the entire model lineup has always remained faithful to its origins as a rear-engined, relatively lightweight, flat-six sportscar with sophisticated suspension, braking, and usability in both the track and the street. This does not mean that technology made its way across the decades; the model benefited, among other improvements, from fuel injection (1971), ABS and four-wheel drive (1989), and perhaps the most controversial of all: the transition from simple, air-cooled engines to water-cooled ones (1997+).

The Porsche 992 generation, introduced in 2019, refines the 911 platform with an aluminum-intensive chassis for increased rigidity and reduced weight, alongside a widened track for improved handling. Its turbocharged flat-six engines, ranging from 3.0L in the Carrera models to 3.7L in the Turbo variants, feature revised intercooling and piezo injectors for enhanced efficiency and power delivery. Paired with an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission or a 7-speed manual in select models, along with adaptive PASM suspension and rear-axle steering, the 992 achieves superior agility, stability, and performance across road and track conditions.

This particular car, a Carrera S, was specced in Aventurine Green and sold out of Porsche of Abu Dhabi in 2021. The client, unfortunately, never took delivery of the car, and we moved to purchase it the following year for our own corporate use. The car has enjoyed timely maintenance and a matte vinyl wrap, giving this Porsche a more distinctive, youthful appearance, and protecting its original paint.

Note: mileage may increase, as the car is still in use.
