Porsche 911 (992.1)
2019–2024 (Carrera GTS 2021–2024) · Porsche 911 (992.1) — Sports Car, Flat-6 Twin-Turbo, designed by Michael Mauer.
The Story
The 992 is the current 911 — the most complete, refined and capable everyday 911 yet, and a car so accomplished that reviewers call it ‘almost unfair on the rivals.’ Launched in 2019, it widened the body across the entire range (the narrow-body Carrera is gone), brought a sharper 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six (385 PS base, 450 PS S, 480 PS GTS), a slick eight-speed PDK, and a beautifully-built, tech-rich interior. Crucially, Porsche also kept the enthusiast faithful happy: the lighter, manual-friendly Carrera T is hailed as the sweet spot of the range, and the wide-body looks suit every variant. As an everyday sports car, the 992 sets the benchmark — its ‘everydayness is its superpower.’

Studio Motors POV
The benchmark everyday 911 — so complete it’s almost unfair on rivals, with the manual Carrera T as the enthusiast’s sweet spot. Buy on spec and condition; a manual T or GTS is the one to seek.

Studio Buyer’s Brief
The Carrera T (light, manual, tactile) is the enthusiast pick; the GTS is the all-rounder; wide-body looks suit all. As a current/recent car, buy on spec, options, miles and Porsche history/warranty. Manual cars (T, GTS) hold value best. A well-specified 992 is the benchmark everyday sports car — condition and spec drive value.
