Carrera S Cabriolet (first half of 991)
Reviews & Test Rides

In a word, each grade

In this way, what I think about riding in various early 991s isTo be honest, each grade has its own charm.The following is a summary of the most suitable grades for each application, based on my own judgment and prejudice.

I want to enjoy the mountain pass and winding (emphasis on the fun of driving)

Carrera, cabriolet system

After all Carrera's 3.4 liter engine is fun. It's just the right amount of power that you can enjoy by turning it even on a Japanese pass. We also recommend the normal suspension, which is not PASM, to those who are confident in driving.

Carrera S, GTS system

If you are looking for a little large scale, speed in winding, acceleration power in a straight line, etc., 3.8 liter S grade or higher is recommended.

Date car

Targa system, cabriolet system, 4 system, turbo system

In the first half of 991, the ride quality was generally good, but the Targa and Cabriolet series are even more comfortable to ride. It would be better if it had PASM or PDCC options.

The four-wheel drive system is also comfortable to ride. This is not just the movement of the suspension, but thanks to the four-wheel drive, there is less pitching in the front and rear, and there is less shaking felt by the occupants. In addition, the turbo-type dense torque and ride quality are superb.

It's a model car that uses abundant power for comfort.

Long-distance touring

Carrera S, GTS system, 4 system, turbo system

Considering the power that can be afforded at high speeds required for long-distance touring, S or higher is better. In addition, there is nothing to say if it is 4 series. It is an all-weather fast touring machine.

City youth

Carrera S, GTS system, turbo system

In situations where there are many low-speed stop-and-go in the city, the S 3.8-liter engine is recommended. Due to the thick torque at low speed, the accelerator opening can be reduced and fatigue is reduced even for a long time. As an aside,When it comes to the late 991 and 992 turbo engines, this evaluation is reversed, and the base Carrera is easier to handle in the city.

Circuit youth

GT3

Needless to say, if you really want to enjoy it, it's GT3. The overwhelming driving performance, engine, and gear ratio show its true value only on the circuit, not on the general road.


That's all,The first half of 991 is very popular these days, and good balls sell quickly.My personal expectation is that in the long run I think prices will still rise and will be even more difficult to obtain. It is clear from the world Porsche used car market, because I think that more and more good quality individuals will flow out of cheap Japan.

If you are interested in the first half of 991, you should make a decision immediately when a good individual comes out. However, "Emotional 911", that is the first half of 991.
