I've driven both the 991.1 and 991.2 Carrera S models. The 991.2 I drove at the Porsche Experience Center, Silverstone in the UK for about 3 hours. The car feels great, but I've just last week bought a 2013 991.1 Carrera S with 27k miles on the clock. Personally I find that the NA engine sound is just sublime. While the 991.2 is impressive, I just couldn't resit the 3.8 NA engine. Also my 991.1 has the 4-pipe sports exhaust, which brings me to a another point. I really dislike the two pipes in the center of the 991.2 when ordered with a sports exhaust. All these things come down to personal taste. That's why all 911s are individually spec'd. We all like what we like, and that's OK.

Just put down a deposit on a 991.1 15k mile 2013 4S in 2022 for this same reason. I drove a pal's new 992 base and I guess if youre new to Porsche, they are impressive. I'm old school. We like what we like.

Two details that needs to be clarified Nick. The 991.2 has the sport exhaust, did the 991.1 had sports exhaust? Secondly, it can be seen in the video that the big gap opened during the second acceleration run, is at the moment of gear change because PDK vs Manual. I think the 991.2 won't be so good with the manual gearbox, as the fast shifting PDK keeps the turbo on boost whilst changing gear, on the manual the pressure will drop considerably and there will be much more lag felt.

Yes, but that only works for really short periods of time, which works fine with the PDK. Since no one can shift that fast with a manual, the Turbo lag will be much more significant.

Thanks Nick! Best comparison test I've seen to date. My one nit would be that the video should make clear that the 991.2 had an optional sports exhaust fitted to it. I also can't tell whether the 991.1 had a sports exhaust. Would be good to know, in other words, whether this is a real apples to apples comparison.

I suspect that the folks who prefer the .1 over the .2 havent actually driven the .2. The .2 is better in every conceivable way. More steering feedback. Chassis is really tightened down. And the 3.0 produced waaaaay more power. A .2 is much faster and has superior handling a feel. The .1 is a great car. But newer is better. Case closed.

+Nick Murray not only "lighter internals". Modification to the airbox/intakes and more important, more lift for the intake valves (11,7 mm to 11.0 at high revs, 5,4mm vs 3,6mm in mid range). And yes, all of this translate into a better breathing engine but somehow less torque/pull under 4500rpm or so. The torque curves are not that wide apart though. You can win some torque back through modification of the exhaust, but in a 911 there isn't much to modify. No room.

I do have to say it does sound quite different from the outside of the car. Heard a 991.2 drive by over the weekend full bore and you can tell it's a Porsche but it almost sounds meaner, but at the same time not as pure (nothing beats the sound of the NA engine between 4,000 and 7,600 RPM!!).

As much as I am a fan of driving manual cars I just don't know what to think when seeing the difference in shifting times between the two. So much more involving to be shifting a manual vs PDK but it just feels you are so inefficient in comparison. Nick would you stick with a manual or PDK for a .2? What are your thoughts related to shifting after driving both back to back?

I have 3 F/I cars and one N/A car in my household, and I think N/A is where it's at. Shooting for a 997.2 CS one day, don't want anything do do with the new turbo (non "Turbo") 911 right now.

having owned both a 991.1 C2S and now a GTS (both with PDK), the GTS feels faster to me, even above 2500-3000 rpm. The GTS also doesn't have that odd hesitation around 2500 rpm. The peak torque is slightly higher in the GTS (5750 rpm vs. 5600 rpm I believe), but the engine does rev more freely and the PDK is tweaked to be a little more aggressive too. The engineers say about 15 hp is gained from the intake, the other 15 hp from the cams/valve lift. The special intake also provides a different sound than a regular S.

Apart from sound, the 991.2 is the better drivers car. Iv driven them both and the 911.2 had much more communicative steering, more pedal feel and was more exciting to drive because its acceleration was more brutal. It was also more comfortable and refined which makes it a much better daily driver and long distance cruiser. If you want a proper old school 911 then get a 997 GT3.

What's a turbo leg? :D I like the sound of the NA much more (based on this video), but the .2 will be the better daily...

Curious to hear about fuel efficiency between these two? Even though I would like to drive a performance car I still want the highest mpg's possible, and presumably with the smaller engine there should be some efficiency gains. Going to the gas station twice a week is not cool, IMHO.

+Nick Murray The 4S has better 0-60 times than the 2S. The 4S you tested also has a PDK, which is also faster than the manual in the 2S. Even factoring those advantages out, though, I think the turbo is clearly faster.

@NickMurray 8 жыл бұрын
+Kyle Cronin Yes the grip that gives the 4S better 0-60 times was not a factor here because we were rolling, also by the time a change was needed the .2 was well ahead.

Thanks Mr. Murray. This has been helpful. I think I will need to test drive one to see if the lag will be too bothersome for me or if the added torque will be enough to compensate. Otherwise, I am still keeping the new GT3 on the table.

Very nice! will you be considering a 4S if you look at a 991.2? i love the look of those wide hips. Also, is a 718 Boxster on the cards for an upcoming review? it will be interesting to see what you think of the sound/performance in comparison to the 911

the turbo sounds like starting a vacuum cleaner , no way it's as good as the gen1, I am looking for boxster and drove new 718 and GTS and man the difference in sound and feel is great. Currently driving an A45 and the turbo is amazing but just doesn't do it

Seems Porsche have done a pretty decent job with the new car. Old one still sounds better though! (and no doubt has better throttle response). Still, it's much closer than old Boxster vs new, which seems to lose much more sound-wise thanks to 2 cylinders less and a turbo. Sound is an important part of the sports car experience IMHO. Hopefully Porsche can keep NA for their GTS and GT models going forward. Thanks for the vid Nick, been waiting for this one and great to have a direct comparison 991.1 to .2. Good job as always!

I had a choice, NA or turbo in the 991.1 and 991.2. I chose the NA. I couldn’t give up the beautiful noise for a little extra torque.

I have a question about the taillights. Is the thin middle light that connects the 2 lights an option? Cause I've seen it on the 991.1 and the 991.2 as well. However, I've seen both models without it.
@abdullabatni77

Oli the line in the middle is for the AWD version of both the reguler or S version of the carrera. So it will be either Carrera 4 or Carrera 4S.

It sounds great! I've got one. The only people who don't like it are the 991.1 owners. Better get used to the sound because all their going hear is the 991.2 that's in front of the slow 991.1 ha ha

Question. I've been watching your channel the quiet a while, and my question to you would whether or not you would consider the Carrera. You have talked before in one of your videos about a 991.1 Carrera. I thought now you would love it more since its more powerful.
@NickMurray
@NickMurray 8 жыл бұрын
+Souheib Merge No I would not consider a Carrera, the 991.1 Carrera is a little sort on torque for such an expensive car, this is improved with the 991.2 but really the S is the one to go for because the better brakes, wheels, suspension and of course power make few thousand more well worth while.

Not an issue. If you do not want a turbo, the 991.1 is the only choice. Same goes for the transmission as I'd never go for a PDK. Which is why I lucked into a three year old 2015 Carrera 4 GTS and a 7-speed manual with a mere 101 miles on it.
