Overview
The 992.1 gave every 911 — rear-drive included — the wide rear haunches previously reserved for the all-wheel-drive and S cars, and moved the cabin fully digital apart from a surviving analogue tachometer. The Carrera range is turbocharged throughout, with an 8-speed PDK standard and a manual restricted for several years to the GTS and the GT cars.
The GT cars are the reason this era will be remembered. The 992.1 GT3 keeps a naturally aspirated 4.0 L flat-six to 9,000 rpm, offers a manual at no cost, and adds double-wishbone front suspension derived from the RSR. In an era of turbocharging and electrification it is a deliberate, expensive anachronism.
It is also the era that produced the Dakar and the S/T, both of which will be remembered long after the ordinary cars.
