Three pedals, seven gears, two seats and 8,000rpm - modern 911s don't come much more desirable than this 👇
In 2022 it’s hard to imagine a time without GTS models in the Porsche line up, given the badge can be found on everything from Macan to Taycan. But it’s a fairly recent reintroduction to the range, coming back as a swansong for the 997-generation 911 having not been used - we think - since a similar farewell model for the 928 in the mid-1990s, complete with the 5.4-litre V8.
As is now well known, the 997 GTS was a special car, elevating the Carrera to a level beyond that implied by the spec. It was just a really nice sports car, more special than a standard 911 yet less demanding than a contemporary GT3. Which is why they still command so much money. It came as no surprise, therefore, that Porsche followed up the 997 with a 991 GTS; again towards the end of a model cycle, albeit this time just the first generation of 991 - it wasn’t going to miss such a lucrative trick again. The same methods were employed, with a wider body, standard Powerkit plus a host of desirable cosmetic goodies, with a similar result as well.
Both bodystyles and both transmissions were offered for the GTS, as well as rear- or four-wheel drive; what you really wanted, of course, was a two-wheel drive coupe with the manual. Because that was the best one to drive. They don’t come up for sale all that often however as, well, PDK is really good and that’s what lots of buyers went for. Not this time, however,There’s more, too, in a really cool spec.
Like its predecessor, this 991 has clung on its value incredibly well. In 2014, a Carrera 2 GTS started at £91,098 before options. In 2022, this Carrera 2 GTS - albeit with just 7,000 miles - is £92,995, and that’s not a bad return. At which point it would be remiss not to mention that GT3s of the era kick off at this sort of money. And that would undoubtedly be an awesome way to spend the cash. But if it’s manual 911 or nothing - and the £140k of a 991.
