"One step closer to perfection" is how Andreas Preuninger described the 991.2 GT3. He had a point.... Unless, of course, you’ve spent your life savings on Macans, Taycans and Cayennes to buddy up with the manager of your local Porsche dealer. And if you haven’t, there’s always the option of picking up a ‘lightly used’ 992 for a decent premium.
Alternatively, you could save yourself a few quid by picking up the preceding 991.2 generation GT3 with a few miles on the clock. It’s not like you’re getting the rough end of the stick by going for the older car. Far from it. While the 992 might have earned racy double wishbone front suspension and a styling makeover, they’re actually very similar offerings. Just as the 992 was lauded as one of the all-time great 911s, so too was the 991.2 a few years prior.
The only thing is the 991.2 is so mesmerising on a twisty road that you’ll never want to take it on a motorway. The steering is so precise and intuitive that you’d never suspect it was an electrically-assisted rack. Surface nuance is continually flowing back through the Alcantara wrapped wheel. It's hard to miss the 992's firmer chassis settings either; on UK roads the 991.2 GT3 flows stupendously well even with its adaptive dampers in their most stringent setting.
. Hard to argue with that, really, and while he and the Porsche GT team would take another step with the 992, the resulting sub-seven-minute Nurburgring lap time did come with its disadvantages. The 991.2 GT3 feels a little more forgiving and, in the case of this 15,500-mile car, kinder on the wallet too. It’s guided at £117,500 to £122,500, which when you consider the spec seems like an awful lot of GT3 goodness for the money.
