Default 997.2 Base Carrera

Was the base just made for model years 2009 to 2012? I'm getting conflicting answers.

I can’t imagine how you would get conflicting answers on that. You gotta tell us who/what is telling you there’s no base 997.1.

or are you asking whether the base 997.2 was only made for 2009-2012 which would be correct

There is a base model in all year 911’s.
As a side note, 997.2 is 2009-2012 years with the exception of the 2009 turbos. Those were still 997.1

Well, I have a 2012 997 Carrera S, so it wasn't just turbos, GTSs and black editions. Here's my VIN: WP0AB2A96CS720371


AFAIK, almost all the 2012 997s were manufactured in 2011 before the production line was converted to 991 production.

i think some of the confusion is between production years vs model years. My 997.2 base was a regular car not a special edition. It was built 9/11 but was a 2012.

Didn’t know that, thanks for the clarification.
