Welcome
In Porsche circles, 2019 wasn’t the most spectacular
of years. Values of our 911s went down almost across
the board, with many cars sitting for sale for months.
Meanwhile, expansion of the latest 992 model lineup
from the manufacturer proved slow. Clearly lost among
the hype of Porsche’s all-electric Taycan range, not a single 992
production car was built with a manual gearbox, the new 911
range consisting simply of a PDK Carrera or Carrera S in two or
four-wheel drive, in Coupe or Cabriolet body styles.
For 2020 though, all that is set to change. The 992 generation
will burst into life in spectacular fashion, its range set to
blossom with the imminent arrivals of a Targa and Turbo. The
early days of this new year will see a return of the manual
transmission to the cockpit of Carrera models – at last! –
then, before spring, the GT3 will arrive, moving Porsche’s GT
department onto the 992 programme for the first time.
“The 992 will burst into life
in spectacular fashion, its
range set to blossom”
While I can’t hazard a guess as to the outcome of the
political reins strangling the used marketplace, what I do know
is values cannot sink any lower. If buying, you can afford to take
your time and find the best 911 you can, whether it be your first
foray into the marque, upgrading your steed, or adding to your
collection. There’s plenty of events taking place all year round to
get you out in these fine sports cars and meeting people, too.

fine package of Porsche-centric content each month, with
drives in the latest cars, ever-more ludicrous road trips, and
comprehensive head-to-head tests of models throughout the 911’s
57-year history. Subscribing to us means you’ll get the magazine
delivered early, right to your door, wrapped in our exclusive,
