The 992 generation moved the 911 on significantly, with a completely redesigned cabin and an extensively developed version of Porsche’s classic 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six. In Carrera 4S form it produces 443.7bhp, with all-wheel drive adding greater traction while preserving the rear-engined character central to the 911. It remains one of the most rounded models in the range, delivering serious performance alongside the usability expected of a modern 911.

With over £25,000-worth of options, this particular example develops all sides of the Carrera 4S’s character. The chassis has been given a more precise and responsive edge, with greater theatre from the powertrain. Meanwhile, inside, a glass sunroof and considered comfort specification ensure that extra focus has not come at the expense of day-to-day usability. The result is a Carrera 4S whose breadth feels deliberate. It has the hardware to exploit the 992’s performance more fully, yet remains easy to enjoy on ordinary roads and over distance.

For someone wanting a 911 to use often rather than reserve for isolated occasions, this is a coherent, well-equipped example with options accounting for how the car looks, drives and fits into everyday life.
