Porsche 911 Insurance

Porsche 911 Insurance

The ever-captivating, evergreen Porsche 911 has been gracing our roads since 1964! The car has been enhanced through the years but the basic concept has remained unchanged.

Why is the Porsche 911 such a legend in motoring circles?

In 1999 the Global Automotive Elections Foundation judged the Car of the Century Award putting the 911 fifth (The Ford Model T took the award if you’re interested). Models include the Carrera range, the Targa range and the Turbo range. All marketed under the 911 title Porsche regularly re-number their 911s. The most recent (2019-present), is internally named the 992. This model will set you back at least £93,000 plus VAT and other costs on top. And that’s just the starting price (rear-wheel-drive Carrera 2S).
