2012 991.1 Carrera S

This is my third 911 and my first 991. I spent months searching for the right example—a low-mileage, manual coupe—because I specifically wanted the last of the naturally aspirated, non-GT 911s. The 7-speed manual transmission was particularly important to me, as it’s an increasingly rare specification and one that adds an entirely different level of involvement to the driving experience. For me, this is more than simply another 911. It’s a car I plan to keep for the long haul and enjoy as it was meant to be driven. My goal is to preserve what makes the 991.1 special while thoughtfully building it out with subtle OEM+ upgrades that enhance the car without compromising its original character.
