2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S

When the 991 Porsche 911 Carrera S arrived, it marked a significant shift in the model’s long and storied history. It was longer, wider, and—thanks to a greater use of aluminum—slightly lighter than its predecessor. All of these changes combined to create a more refined, more approachable 911, but one that still retained the core elements that enthusiasts have loved for decades.

‍

Gone are the days when mastering a 911 was akin to taming a wild beast. The 996 and 997 generations had already tamed the lion, and the 991 redesign took it a step further. The wheelbase was stretched, the front track widened, and the rear-biased weight distribution was fine-tuned for better on-road stability. The result? A car that’s more stable in corners and less likely to surprise you with snap oversteer at the limit.

Under the hood, it features a 3.8-liter flat-six engine producing 400 horsepower, paired with Porsche’s 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The Sport Chrono package, included on this model, adds dynamic engine mounts and performance-tuned settings for the engine and suspension, making the car even more responsive and engaging to drive.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a cabin that reflects the influence of Porsche’s Panamera, with a center console that rises up to meet the dash, studded with buttons for everything from the climate control to the driving modes. It’s a far cry from the sparse interiors of earlier 911s, but it adds a touch of modern luxury to the driving experience.

The body of the 991 Carrera S is longer by 2.2 inches compared to the outgoing model, with a more curved windshield that wraps around to the A-pillars, which have been moved only slightly. The car’s roofline and front fender humps are lower, giving it a wider, more aggressive stance on the road. The use of lightweight materials in the body structure—about 45% aluminum—helps keep the weight in check, with an estimated curb weight of around 3,350 pounds.

‍

In short, the 991 Porsche 911 Carrera S represents a significant evolution of the model, blending modern advancements with the timeless appeal of the 911. It’s a car that can be driven daily, yet still offers the thrilling performance that has made the 911 a legend for nearly six decades. For those who appreciate the art of driving, this Carrera S is a compelling choice.
