Porsche 911 Carrera 992.2 // REVIEW on ROAD & TRACK

[@T_ISEC_G]

Wonderful car! I ordered mine in Shadegreen with the congnac Leather interior...my first 911...a dream comes true!

[@TriniZx3]

The base is on much worse tires than the GTS so that also contributes in a big way to the lesser handling on the track

[@ulrichkristensen4087]

It is a daily driver not a track car

[@anonanon8227]

@@ulrichkristensen4087 GTS is not your track car from Porsche. You need to go up to GT3 at a minimum. Porsche only shows GT3RS on the Porsche North America website. No new GT3? GT3 used are $$$, especially CPO. I could have had a 14, 15..16 GT3 in 2018 for 125k with less than 4k miles all day long. They were available in that range. 2014's had a factory motor program due to rod bolt failure etc., which many no nothing about. Google it grasshopper. Should have bought and stored them. Up to 100k over that price for the RS.......but prices are cooling a bit recently but not much! Retaining value leader in automotives! Porsche!

[@gratler]

if you go from analogue gauge cluster to a digital one you might aswell stay with the analogue but instead install a head up display which is simply much much better for driving.

[@asherbellamy1069]

love the blue color and the interior

[@weirdshibainu]

At my age this the perfect model. I'd never track it, just daily drive and with a zero to 60 in under 4 seconds, my license would be in jeopardy every time I fire it up. Question.....is this comfortable and quiet enough for a multiday road trip with one person?

[@florian6808]

I Love the Carrera! For me it's the best Porsche 911 besides the "regular" turbo!

[@dimatteo806]

Ich finde den Turbo S den genialsten 911. Er bekommt den Spagat zwischen purem Sportwagen und Daily-Driver am besten von allen hin. Und kein anderer Sportwagenhersteller in diesem Segment bekommt so eine Alltagstauglichkeit hin. Ganz ehrlich, für mich ist der 911 Turbo S sogar das beste Auto der Welt.

[@nafnaf0]

I really love the sound of the vase 992.1 Carrera, this one sounds pretty much the same

[@sturmeko]

Sounds much better than new GTS

[@Kelecar]

Nice vid, good car. I prefer the old ignition knob over the start button and also the analog rpm gauge. And my OCD was triggered when you put the Porsche watch back on your wrist upside down :D

[@RR911T]

Completely agree about the ignition and analog tachometer. So happy I got a '24 T so I can enjoy the manual transmission.

[@RomanTrukhin]

oh wow, thanks for the video, was waiting for someone to make regular carrera video

[@jeebus2121]

10:36 - "...grip goes..." and there's the red car in the mirror losing grip.

[@xcrae]

I always don't get the argument "base carrera is more than enough" when this costs new with options 150k € - and you get a used 992.1 GTS for 160k or a 992.1 GT3 for 190k €. So much more value for not spending that much more. If the Carrera was half the price of a GT3, I would agree with it being a good value for your money.

[@tobi_dg]

But you are comparing new car pricing to used. You could buy a used base Carrera for less. Although I would say Porsche pricing has reached ridiculous levels no matter which trim you look at.

[@twojstary_666]

bro you are comparing 2024 and 2014 car... Sadly car prices fluctuated badly after the covid, and everything is way more expensive now. Anyway, base 992 is still a great value. Especially that you can throw a better air filter and downpipe and with simple tune you will push 500HP. Throw hybrid turbos, or even those from GTS and you will push over 600HP.

[@MrDoritis]

Basic Carrera: €153, Basic GTS €183. There is a difference.

[@elchiquifru]

Good luck getting an allocation from your dealer for a GTS

[@skippynj1979]

Big difference is you’re ordering your car, the way you want your car. Base car can be tuned if wanted. Zero miles and it’s your car. For many that’s more important than finding a used one for the same price. Remember some people buy a new one every generation. And that’s what’s they like. That keeps Porsche in business Ava allows them to keep making small number cars for us at a reasonable price compared to order high end sport cars.

[@costindospinescu2046]

11:18 it's like a gamer Best gameplay lap record...

[@556suppressor]

Base 911 is the best one. Don't need any other trim level to impress people.

[@carbizreviews]

Fantastic review! The Porsche 911 Carrera 992.2 looks incredible on both road and track. Great insights into its performance and features. Thanks for sharing!

[@Tailpipe26]

Stunning car and perfect review. You did a great job keeping -up with that Turbo on the track, which just goes to show that the driver is as important as the horsepower. Thank you.

[@atom999]

Base Carrera has always been the pick of the range(excluding GT/Turbo) then T. This one is even better, gts turbos, finally decent breaks. Limited slip diff would be good, comes in T model hopefully. Performance is really amazing, 3.7 to 100 is ballistic. Very very few people will take it on the track pointless to test tbh.

[@m.j.41]

You‘re right.

[@skippynj1979]

I got a 992.1t now. She is harsh and loud. Great for me. The base is a gentleman’s sports car. You can make it plush and with the pdk it’s great for the road.

[@diegodivers]

Thank you for covering the base Carrera Do you feel any differences in driving dynamics to its predecessor? How do you rate 992.1 Carrera T as a road oriented sportscar?

[@stefano2409]

Very nice review, the car is all I need and I can easily see myself “stepping down” from my current 992 GTS to a Base, it is all I need. I don’t really understand the need to change the interior design going fully digital. It is true that the 992.1 gauges were poorly displayed but this solution reminds too much of Audi. Same for the start/stop button. Bizzare that for the interior there is only leather option and sport-tex is not available

[@anthonymurdoch9437]

All new is an overstatement. And Porsche dumping the analogue tachometer was stupid. It's the one thing that kept the 911 different from the competition with gawd awful screens galore. They should have kept that and the left hand key ignition and not add a stupid button.

[@jamespaul1835]

Clearly you haven’t sat in the new one. The gauges are clearly better now whereas before too much information hidden behind the steering wheel.

[@rich495]

[@RR911T]

Definitely prefer the 992.1…that analog tachometer just triggers adrenaline into the bloodstream. Pushing a button to start my kitchen appliances is fine, but the twisting motion as the vibrations kick in is how the 911 needs to start.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Such a shame they're not offering the Carrera or even GTS with a physical manual transmission anymore (or haven't said anything)... this is crazy.... this base spec, GT Silver over this Cognac with the Classic Fuchs and a manual would be absolute perfection, quick full exhaust and a tune and you wouldn't _really_ need anything else in life... maybe a good woman and a cat, that's about it 😅

[@Zach-wz4sb]

Im a huge 911 person who's had a 991.2 base and i cannot fathom someone spending $150k on a base 911 when you can get a Z06 with a Z07 package, brand new, an audi R8 or an AMG GTR for the same price.

[@andychang7137]

Do you mean they are too expensive now?

[@mikelo9006]

I hope u could show me any new R8 performance or GTR with 0 mileage in the price range of 150k? All I see in Europe market is more than 200k for totally new one. If u brag about the second hand car price, then the base 911 is no more than 120k with good equips after first owner. GTR and Z06 are good car for different folks and better deal in second hand market, but R8 is just trash handling with exception of the V10

[@mikelo9006]

@@Dkjfjrjzj i can say the new R8 2018-now is relatively reliable, but my POV is that Audi just slammed the V10 from Lambor and called it a day. There isn’t any of its own character, rather than scream of the V10 tho. It is rather happy at cruising instead of carving corner, which is already big fail in my list when it comes to sport car choice.

Is a manual transmission also provided for this new model? If not. that would be a great pity!!

[@Greygoose3130]

I love the base. But in US it is $120k before a single option. Realistically it’s $135k- $140k even lightly optioned. It’s legitimately twice the cost of a mid engine corvette. Just absurd

[@Thelastmecca]

Yeah but you get rear seats

The digital cluster is absolutely awful, I drove bunch 991 and 996 gen 911s with analog clusters and recently I drove new taycan. Analog fits 911 way better. Idk whose idea was to implement that shit into 911 and even worse part is that it doesnt have that overhang roof bubble kind og thing so sun just beams off that shit, I can see the reflections…

[@doctorj7112]

These are greta cars but their pricing and dealership add ons make them almost unattainable. A nice NON GT car, let's say a Carrera S or GTS will be 200K. Plus we don't know how these hybrid cars will hold up over time and how their residual values will be effected.

[@c5vette739]

Completely overpriced

[@agont135]

Wonder what the Carrera S will be like, between the base and GTS.

[@phillipberk5767]

my guess is close to 500hp, probably without the hybrid of the GTS.

[@JanFaul1111]

Maybe 480.

[@agont135]

May be 500bhp with hybrid?

[@diegodivers]

My guess: It will be around 465-475 hp, but with the same engine setup like the 992.1 gts before. So hybrid and electric turbo will be the usp of the new gts.
