911s in the data file are organised in rows according to release date, beginning with the very first model in 1964. Many models were available in Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet forms, with the option of automatic transmission. Here, data has been provided from the Coupe variants unless stated.

Sales debate
How will the new hybrid GTS affect the 992.1 GTS sales market?
The new 992.2 GTS is an altogether different car. Where will it leave the market for the outgoing model?
“The 992.2 GTS is Porsche getting around the issues of 2030, when the rules kick in on combustion engines,” points out Greig Daly of RPM Technik. He thinks it’ll sell well, because it opens the car up to be used in places that, for emissions reasons, aren’t combustion-engine friendly. If you want a 911 within a low-emission zone, then Porsche now makes a car for you.
Of the previous GTSs, he says, “We find that late 991/992 buyers are still petrolheads, but they’re not always buying it for a special motoring car. What they want is the 911 experience, but free from the issues of corrosion, maintenance, that you get with older, more special 911s.” Reliability and modernity are the appeal of the later GTS model, then.
“It comes down to the cost to change,” explains Northway Porsche’s Ray Northway, alluding to current owners with cars at the age of being traded up. He points out that the 992 GTS has suffered alarming drops in price. For those owners, stepping into a new model can now involve an eye-watering number. Faced with that, Northway’s seen GTS owners change backwards, to a 993.
For straight purchases, the 991 and 992 GTS price points are broadly comparable, meaning potential buyers can get behind the wheel of either as they prefer. On that, Daly says they do get customers looking at both models, and he doesn’t find the 992 holding sway. The later car doesn’t have an appeal over the earlier one, he thinks.
On the immediate future, Daly highlights, “They made quite a lot of GTSs so I don’t see values going up, unless it’s a very high or unusually desirable spec.”
Rather than simply lose money, the 992.1 GTS may have instead found its value in the market. Business as usual for a used 911, potentially. Realising the financial hit may keep current GTS owners in their existing cars, unless a new low emission zone-compatible 911 is something they want. Time will tell if that’s the case, but with so many cars being made it seems that 992.1 GTS prices are unlikely to rise.
