New 911 Hybrid vs Old 911: DRAG RACE

Get 15 per cent off a Racebox (specialist timing gear) with CODE MAT15 here: www.racebox.pro/store/?...
Want to see how much more performance the new Porsche 911 GTS with its T-Hybrid system delivers over the current GTS? Well here I compare them in a drag race, rolling race and brake test with the help of former F1 driver Mark Webber.
Now this may seem a lot like Carwow. But don't worry. This is a one-off here on my personal channel just for a bit of fun and I'll be back on Carwow with all future drag races.
However, I will be doing more content here on my personal cars. And I've just bought yet another one so make sure to subscribe to this channel too.

[@markw9512]

Porsche underrates their horsepower, consensus seems to be that rated crank hp is actually wheel horsepower. And couple that with rear engine for max possible 2WD launch traction and excellent launch control, and you get very impressive times. Plus here they’ve switched to the electric turbo configuration for faster spool up, and the electric motor helps by upping torque and faster thus an even quicker launch than before.

[@edtheduck6219]

@@markw9512 I was under the impression (and it seems to be backed up by lots of independent dyno tests that take actual transmission losses into account rather than slap a guess on as a factor), that Porsche HP is crank HP and is exactly what they quote. Also, their turbo cars produce this number over a wide range of temperatures and altitudes, which other makes may not. Being a purpose-designed sports car with a rear engine, PDK, clever suspension, launch control, decent aerodynamics and top-tier tyres goes a long way towards explaining why 911s seem to punch above their weight: they are making full use of the power they have.

[@rosscarver4546]

The 992.1 GTS is lighter than Porsche now claims it to be. They do this likely to make the added heft from the hybrid seem less. In reality, a manual transmission 992.1 with ceramic brakes and rear seat delete and lithium battery is capable of coming across at under 3350lbs. The lightweight package added made it closer to 3300 - which is gt3 weight territory. For me, the added weight, complexity don’t really make the 992.2 a step forward in anything but emissions compliance unfortunately.

[@Supcharged]

Wish you brought a current turbo for comparison as well.
