991.2

7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, available on all 991 Carrera variants. Enables launch control when paired with Sport Chrono, and shifts faster than any manual. Standard on the Turbo S. Well-proven and reliable across the 991 generation; service intervals are normal and no significant issues are reported on UK cars.

Lowers ride height by approximately 20 mm with firmer springs and stiffer anti-roll bars versus the standard PASM setup. Available on S, 4S, and GTS variants. Gives a more aggressive stance and sharper turn-in, at the cost of ride comfort on the UK's variable road surfaces. A popular option for buyers who prioritise handling response over ride quality.

Active hydraulic anti-roll bar system that stiffens the relevant axle's anti-roll bar under cornering loads, dramatically reducing body roll while maintaining ride quality over straight-line bumps. Optional on S and above; standard on Turbo S. Works in concert with PASM. The combined PDCC and PASM Sport Suspension package is coded 031 and is the most comprehensive chassis option available on the 991.

Combined package of PDCC active anti-roll bars and the sport-lowered PASM Sport Suspension (−20 mm). The most comprehensive chassis setup available on the 991, providing maximum body control, minimum ride height, and the sharpest handling response. A significant upgrade for track-focused buyers, though the ride on urban UK roads is notably firm.

Mechanical limited-slip differential with brake-based torque vectoring, available on cars with the manual gearbox. Improves traction and cornering balance by biasing torque toward the outside rear wheel. Optional on S, 4S, and GTS. PDK-equipped cars use PTV+ (221) instead. A meaningful upgrade for rear-wheel-drive buyers seeking more neutral handling and rotation.

Electronically controlled adaptive dampers. Optional on the base Carrera 991.1; standard on the Carrera S and above on the 991.1. Critically: standard on ALL 991.2 variants regardless of specification — so the code will not appear on a 991.2 build sheet as an option. For 991.1 buyers, PASM is a meaningful distinguishing factor on base Carrera examples. The 991.2 PASM Sport Suspension (030) is the relevant search item for chassis enthusiasts on that generation.

Raises the front ride height by approximately 40 mm at the press of a button to protect the low front apron over speed bumps, ramps, and steep driveways. 991.2-only option. Stores the GPS location of frequently used lift points for automatic activation. Strongly recommended for lowered or sport-suspension-equipped cars used on UK roads. Cannot be retrofitted.

A no-cost option on the GT3 and GT3 RS, deleting the rear seats (where applicable) and adding a steel roll cage, manual fire extinguisher, and six-point harness preparation. Standard on the GT3 RS. Primarily relevant to track-day buyers; the roll cage changes the structural character of the car and does not have a simple delete option. Buyers purchasing a non-Clubsport GT3 should be aware this may limit FIA homologation for certain club racing events.

991.2-exclusive 20-inch RS Spyder Design alloys with an open-spoke, motorsport-derived appearance. A popular choice on GT-adjacent 991.2 builds and the most desirable standard wheel option on the 991.2 generation.

Optional 20-inch Carrera Classic alloys in a traditional 5-spoke design. Available across both generations. A timeless choice that works well with both standard and lowered suspension setups.

Factory high-gloss black paint on the alloy wheels, available on the 991.2. A popular contrast option with lighter body colours. Check condition carefully as high-gloss black is particularly susceptible to visible kerbing and stone chip damage.

Factory satin (silk matt) black wheel finish on the 991.2. A subtler alternative to high-gloss black that is slightly more forgiving of minor surface marks. A popular factory option on stealth-specification 991.2 builds.

Full LED matrix headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, offering motorway, cornering, and adverse-weather modes with individual pixel-level light distribution. A 991.2-only option — the 991.1 offered only xenon-based PDLS (603). The LED PDLS+ is significantly superior for UK dark-road driving and is worth a meaningful price premium over the xenon alternative. Standard on Turbo S.

Factory custom paint outside the standard colour range, documented and warranted by Porsche. PTS 991s command a meaningful resale premium for desirable colours but repainting or repairing PTS finishes is substantially more expensive. Always verify the colour code against Porsche's central vehicle data records.

Bi-xenon HID headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System cornering function. The top lighting option on the 991.1 and a lower-tier option on the 991.2 (where the LED PDLS+ 602 is the superior choice). A meaningful improvement over the base halogen units for rural UK driving.

Electric panoramic glass roof spanning most of the coupe roofline. First Porsche 911 generation to offer a panoramic option. Adds significant light to the cabin without the weight penalty of a folding roof. Check the motor and seals on older examples; panoramic roof mechanisms can develop rattles or slow operation.

Smaller conventional electric sliding glass panel, an alternative to the full panoramic roof. Less visually dramatic than 653 but lighter. A straightforward option for buyers who want occasional ventilation without the full panoramic experience.

Factory darkened rear light clusters on the 991.2, giving a more understated, monochromatic rear appearance. A popular cosmetic option on darker-coloured cars. 991.2-only; not available on 991.1.

SportDesign door mirror housings in a more angular, aerodynamically optimised design replacing the standard mirror shells. 991.2-only. A subtle visual upgrade typically specified alongside the SportDesign body package.

Lightweight fixed-back carbon-fibre bucket seats derived from the 918 Spyder programme, introduced for the 991.2 GT3. Feature electric height adjustment but no backrest recline — fit must be checked carefully before purchase as they cannot be modified. Significantly lighter than the P03 foldable buckets. Highly sought-after on GT3 and GT3 RS purchases; check that taller buyers are comfortable before committing.

18-way electrically adjustable adaptive sport seats with integrated memory and automatic side bolster adjustment linked to driving mode selection. Also coded 323/324 in some references. The most comprehensive standard-format seat on the 991; side bolsters automatically firm under Sport Plus mode when paired with Sport Chrono. Highly desirable on performance-biased 991 purchases.

Foldable-backrest lightweight sport bucket seats with a wider shell than the fixed P11 units, making them more suitable for daily driving while still providing significant lateral support. Also coded 388/389. Standard on the GT3 RS; optional on GT3. These are wider and more accommodating than the P11 fixed-back carbon buckets, and are generally the recommended bucket seat for buyers who use their car on the road as well as the track.

14-way electrically adjustable sport seats with multiple memory positions. Also coded as 321/322 in some references. A popular mid-spec seat choice offering good support and comprehensive adjustment, typically paired with a heated seat option. Well-preserved on most UK cars.

Extended leather coverage throughout the interior beyond the standard specification. The 991-generation full leather option is coded 981, distinct from the 996/797 codes used on previous generations. Elevates the interior quality meaningfully and adds resale value on well-specified examples.

Entry-level electric seat adjustment package adding 4-way powered movement. A step above the base manual sport seat. The lowest-tier electric seat option on the 991.

Factory heated front seats. A standard winter comfort inclusion on UK-market cars. Absence is a genuine daily-use detractor in British conditions.

Factory-specified contrasting two-colour leather scheme across seats, dashboard, and door cards. Commands a premium on the used market for desirable colour combinations.

Alcantara suede-effect headliner. Standard on GTS. A popular inclusion on more highly specified 991s, giving a race-inspired cabin finish. Check for fading or staining.

Factory carbon-fibre interior trim package on the 991.2. The code changes from EEG/EEH on 991.1 to EKG/EKH on 991.2; the functional option is identical. Check for edge delamination on older cars.

Factory ventilated front seats with integrated fans drawing air through the seat leather. Less essential for UK driving conditions than for warmer climates, but a valued comfort option on higher-specification cars.

Factory seat belts in Guards Red. The most popular coloured belt option on the UK used market, adding period character without requiring a full interior colour change.

Factory seat belts in Racing Yellow. Typically specified on Racing Yellow or Speed Yellow exterior cars for colour-matched specification.

Burmester high-end audio system on the 991.2, using the alphanumeric 9VJ code. The premium audio upgrade across the 991.2 range and the recommended choice for audiophile buyers.

Porsche Communication Management with integrated navigation. 991.1 used PCM 3.1 — no Apple CarPlay native support; a PCCM+ retrofit (approximately £1,200–£1,500 through Porsche) can add modern connectivity. The 991.2 upgraded to PCM 4.0 with a touchscreen and was the first 911 generation to support Apple CarPlay natively. PCM version is a significant practical consideration for daily use buyers.

Bose surround sound system on the 991.2, using alphanumeric code 9VL (same code as later Cayenne and Panamera). Functionally equivalent to the 680-coded system on 991.1. A well-regarded sound upgrade at a lower price point than Burmester.

Front and rear parking sensors combined with a factory-fitted reversing camera. The reversing camera was first available on the 991.2 — it was not a factory option on the 991.1 at all. Meaningful for day-to-day usability on UK car parks. A very desirable practical option on the 991.2.

Radar-based adaptive cruise control maintaining a set distance to the vehicle ahead. Not available on the 997. A significant motorway driving aid for longer journeys; absence is increasingly noted by UK buyers accustomed to modern driver assistance.

Blind-spot monitoring system using radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes, warning the driver with a mirror indicator light. 991.2-only — not available on 991.1. Increasingly expected by UK buyers on any car used on motorways.

Passive keyless entry and push-button start, unlocking the car as the key approaches and allowing the engine to be started without inserting the key. A popular convenience option on UK-market cars.

Rear ultrasonic parking sensors. A practical baseline proximity aid — note that no factory reversing camera option existed on the 991.1; the camera became available only with code 638 on the 991.2.

Front and rear ultrasonic parking sensors. Adds front proximity monitoring to the standard rear-only setup. Useful given the 911's limited frontal visibility from the driver's seat.
