Car enthusiasts in the country were recently awestruck by the beauty of a Porsche 911 sports car from the 991 generation. This particular model stands out with its angular taillights, which don’t stretch across the entire width of the rear end like the 992, giving it a unique character. The owner has certainly expressed their taste and style through this customized Porsche 911.
One notable modification is the yellow chassis, which has been repainted in a glossy military green, while the rear rims, previously black, now shine in a stylish copper tone. Various other details have been painted black to create a striking contrast and accentuate the car’s overall appearance.
The owner, a discreet car collector from Hanoi, reportedly owns up to four Porsche vehicles, kept in two separate garages. However, they are usually seen driving only this particular Porsche 911 from the 991 generation.
Introduced in 2011, the 991 generation of the Porsche 911 marked a significant technological leap. The central control panel was designed with inspiration from the Carrera GT and later adapted for the Panamera sedan. This generation also introduced Porsche’s active chassis control system, known as PDCC.
In September 2015, Porsche introduced, for the first time, a 3.0-liter flat-six turbocharged engine for the standard Carerra and Carrera S models.
Compared to its predecessor, the 997, the 991 is slightly larger, with a wheelbase that has been extended by 100 mm to 2,450 mm and an overall length increased by 70 mm to 4,490 mm. A new transmission was developed, allowing the rear axle to be moved 76 mm backward relative to the engine, significantly improving weight distribution and cornering performance.
Through the use of high-strength steel, aluminum, and composite materials, the weight was reduced to 1,380 kg for the Carrera manual transmission model, while the Turbo all-wheel-drive model with the PDK transmission (Porsche Doppelkupplung) weighed in at 1,605 kg. The PDK transmission was offered as an option for all 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo (991.1 Non S) models, featuring a 7-speed gearbox with manual and automatic modes.
The gear ratios from 1st to 6th are sports-oriented, with the top speed achieved in 6th gear. 7th gear has a longer ratio to reduce fuel consumption by keeping engine speeds low. Essentially, PDK combines two gearboxes into one unit and therefore requires two clutches.
For all 991 models, the PDK transmission was manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen. The auto start/stop function was standard on all variants of the 911 Carrera.
