The 991 was launched in 2012 to replace the 997 and retained the normally aspirated flat 6 engine but now available as a 3.4 regular Carrera (350 BHP) or 3.8 Carrera ‘S’ (400 BHP).
This is only the third time the 911 platform has had such a redesign since its inception in 1963, the second time was the introduction of the 996.
Although it is slightly larger than the outgoing 997 it is also, thanks to the use of lightweight materials also slightly lighter. Coupling the new loss in weight with more power it makes for an amazing drivers’ car.
The 991.1 Turbo and Turbo S increase the BHP to 513 bhp and 560 bhp respectively from the 3.8 Twin Turbo DFi engine. The Turbo S adding PCCB – Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes as standard and both cars fitted with PAA – Porsche Active Aero. All Turbo models are all wheel drive therefore making them ‘widebody’ models.
Approved vehicles at Harbour Cars undergo thorough preparation to ensure they meet the highest possible showroom standards. All of our cars undergo an independent 111-point workshop inspection and road test by a qualified technician. This generates a report personal to your car.
We include a 1 year comprehensive bumper to bumper warranty, unless otherwise stated.
Please visit our Preparation & Warranty section for full details.
After machine polishing and detailing to showroom standards, we supply Gtechniq Cystal Serum & Exo twin layer Ceramic Coating free of charge as part of the preparation on every car we supply.
Ceramic Coat protects the vehicles paintwork. Both Crystal Serum and Exo are composite coatings , meaning they penetrate deeper into the substrate delivering incredible performance and durability when compared to Quartz based coatings. They provide the best possible protection from wash swirls, contamination, and wear & tear. This dual layer system is optically clear, ultra-durable, slick to the touch and provides exceptional dirt and water repellence.
As the base layer Crystal Serum is geared towards delivering maximum hardness and durability, as the top layer Exo’s technology is geared towards slickness, dirt repellency and water beading.
Everybody I have dealt with at Harbour Cars was polite friendly and very professional at all times.
I would say they have a culture that is lacking in other dealerships of ensuring their cars are properly serviced and presented with no corners cut. Highly recommended.
