History of Porsche 911 ... and the last 911 of the 991 generation

Discontinuation of 7th generation Porsche 911 (991)

One sad phrase released by Porsche on December 20, 2019.

"Last Porsche 911 of the 991 generation comes off the production line"

Yes, at last all production of the 7th generation "991 type" of Porsche 911 has ended, and the 991 type is no longer on the production line.

Ah. I wonder, this sad feeling.

The 991 generation is over and the futureIt has been known for more than a year that the Porsche 911 will be a 992 typeAnd now, I've already come across a lot of 992 type Porsche 911 in the city.

I knew in my head that "Porsche 911 will be 992 from now on", but I was just thinking "I want 992" myself.

However, when I hear again that "the production of 991 has ended", it's kind of sad. Oh, somehow now, the bottom of the sea.

Is it really lonely or sad? Ahh, what is this sadness?

The total production of Porsche 991 is 233,540 units

The 7th generation Porsche 911 "Porsche 991" is said to have produced "233,540 units" from the first one to the last one.

Michael Steiner, Chief of Research and Development at Porsche Headquarters, also commented sadly. But at the same time, I'm full of pride (about 991).

That's right, sadly, but I have to be proud of the Porsche 991 and move on to the next ...

Porsche 991 The last one produced is the Speedster

And the last one produced, the 991,Porsche 911 SpeedsterIt seems that it was.

If the last model of one generation of Porsche 911 is the Speedster, it is understandable that the last one produced is the Speedster.

Rather, it means that all the speedsters, such as those who are waiting for delivery, have already completed production.

I was a little surprised there too ^^

The last one is the Porsche 911 Speedster, Heritage Design Package.

It feels like one that is suitable for decorating the last minute.

Porsche 991 series overview

Following the completion of production of the last one of the 991, Porsche also gave a brief review of the Porsche 991 series, so I would like to take a look.

From the previous generation 911, all about 90% that composes 991 has changed newly, and it is said that significant development was done.

And with a lightweight body made of an innovative aluminum-steel composite, it was the first 911 to be "lighter" than its predecessor.

In 2012, a cabriolet appeared. Lightweight magnesium succeeds in creating a beautiful curved roof like a coupe.

My favorite car, the Porsche 911, is also the 991 generation. I want to continue to take good care of myself.
