The 911 Carrera 991 was launched in 2012 model year and production of the 991 generation only recently ended on December 20, 2019. With more than 233,000 units produced over a seven-year period, there are some excellent used examples to be found, in what was the seventh generation of the 50-year development of the 911 platform.

The 991 replaced the former 997 with sleeker looks and the appearance of being a larger car, although the actual increase in size was only approx. 56mm. The real difference came in the build quality, the bewildering number of options available and improved drivability.

The original 991 was in production until the second generation 991.2 was launched in late 2016. The second generation introduced new styling that included updated front and rear bumpers, new dual exhaust pipes, new head and tail lights, and color options. The biggest difference however, was the introduction of the new 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engines across the entire range.
