Chassis

Eleven generations since September 1964, each known by its internal code: 901, G-series, 964, 993, 996, 997, 991 and 992. The flat-six has always sat behind the rear axle. The 993 of 1994 to 1998 was the last air-cooled 911; the 996 brought water cooling in 1998, after thirty-4 years.

New 911 platform

Unveiled at Frankfurt in September 2011, the 991 introduced a new platform for the 7th Generation 911. Its 2,450 mm Carrera wheelbase is 100 mm longer than the 997, with a new transaxle arrangement repositioning the rear axle relative to the engine.

Mixed-material structure

Porsche combined high-strength steel, aluminum and composites in the 991 structure. The platform supported coupe, cabriolet, Targa and later Speedster bodies, alongside distinct Carrera, Turbo and GT derivatives.

Production series

The final 991 left production on December 20, 2019. Porsche built 233,540 examples across the generation; that figure covers the whole 991 range rather than an individual limited edition.
