Porsche 911 Carrera S 992 | Technical Brain Damage

We review the 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera S 992. The latest 911 is a culmination of so many years of development that very few sports cars make it this far. We do a deep dive into all of the technical and electronic systems that make this car complicated yet great to drive. We look at the good and bad and discuss what it is like to drive. Other cars in this price range to consider are the Lotus Evora GT, Corvette C8, Mustang Shelby GT500, and Lexus LC500.

[@Dowlphin]

I went to the Porsche website and the technical stats didn't load on my new browser, only on IE11. Probably all that cookie, data tracking, surveillance crap I am not letting through on my current one. - Also inconsistent presentation. For some but not all models I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find technical specs and those didn't mention max engine RPM. Crappy web design is analogous to orange peel skin. It's abundant in all price classes. And it's sad because a couple years ago the Porsche website stood out to me for not making issues but working fine eben with total cookie blocking and everything. Which is a side topic: The more marketing gathers analytical data about customers, the less they promote expertise to understand them naturally. It cripples human traits.

As a mechanical engineering student, I can only say thank you for this review. Those 20 minutes in the shoppe were so interesting and the information given is just detailed enough to captivate someone like me (I paused on every slide) without going too far to be understood by nearly everybody. Also, you've given me a 911 obsession! Wow, that car is impressive! I had the chance to drive a 2018 911 turbo, but it is now my dream to drive (and maybe own someday) a manual 911 like this one.

[@swanblake]

My takeaway from these last two videos is that the 992 would be lighter than the (add lightness company) Lotus Evora GT, if it did away with the sound deadening, tech, stereo, ect to match the Evora GT. The 992 is such an engineering marvel. I do love that unlike the Corvette, you can still get a manual transmission on the 992. This was a fantastic break down of everything on the 992. This video produced a newfound respect for the 992 I wouldn't have otherwise had. Such a great job on this fellas

@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo Oh I know some of their racing pedigree. What I don't like is how much they look alike from year to year. You need 5 to 10 years to notice a difference. This review showed some of the changes made under the skin which was a lot and apparently all added up major improvements. The only Porsche that impressed me a lot was the 918 and that was years ago.

[@denisleblanc4506]

@@rynomite_ I think I know why they do it and its a good reason. The problem is over the years the roads have a lot of them and unless you're a fan boy its hard to tell the difference year over year. They loose their "specialness". They're at a point now where I don't think their fans would allow significant changes. There is less incentive to trade up for a newer model. It allows them to put more money in the rest of the car and most of the time it works (except the move to all turbos.) I think the Taycan looks a lot better and is still a Porsche. Whoever thought a Porsche should sound like a Subaru was wrong. Hey, I'm not a marketing expert its only an opinion.

[@Robiig]

This review sold me the car. I ended up purchasing a new 2021 911 Carrera S in Australia a year ago. My only criticism is that the sound is reduced due to the OPF's in Australia/UK. I think the US version does sound better, you do get to hear more of the flax six sound. Otherwise its been the perfect daily driver's car.

[@black350Z]

What a great review. Probably the most comprehensive 992 review I've seen anywhere. Love the engineering details you guys covered. About the only issue I had is the comment about trial braking and how all 911's are good at it. That's totally false. I have a 997.1 C2 and my number one complaint about the handling is how you CANNOT trail brake the car. Lots of Google searches will you show that for the 997, Porsche decided they would not allow the car to rotate under braking -- even if you turn off TC and PSM. So even if you turn off PSM it's never fully off and you can't get the car to rotate, unless you purposely upset the car to the point where PSM can't correct for you. As an experienced driver who was able to consistently trail brake a Lotus Elise through corners around all kinds of race tracks, I can't do it in my 997. And it's super frustrating. Other than that little personal trigger, it was a great video.

I feel like I should live-blog the 20 minute tech section. 13:42 Where are sensors for rain sensing wipers and would they overrule the wheel-well wetness sensors ? Trust Porsche to design for the scenario where it stopped raining but you still have a wet road, but no other traffic, so there is no wet spray to trigger the windshield wiper sensors.

[@benjaminkessler8169]

rain sensor is a LED based system in the windshield. its complete separate from the other system

[@EthanHeffernan]

@@benjaminkessler8169 Correct, in most vehicles it’s tucked into the housing where the rear view mirror is adhered to the windshield

I want to thank you guys for what you do. You two are the gold standard to me for when I want to see an automotive review. Absolutely love your layout for reviews, including the technical part - really sets you apart. The Porsche 911 is the car that I aspire to have one day; don't know if it will ever happen, but one can dream. I currently drive a BMW M240i, which I'll keep forever if I don't have the financial means for the 911 - but my God, the 911, from its incremental changes/improvements from generation to generation, to its build quality, legacy and performance that is unmatched. Rarely is Mark so uncritical of/so smitten by a car! The absolute joy both of you felt during the driving portion was obvious!

interior quality got worse compared to the 991.2 actually

The vid is so nice I had to watch it twice. Love it when you guys get cars up on the lift. Very cool.

One of the best videos I have seen on the 992. Brilliant! You also got a great spec, it made open the configurator. That said, at two points in the video (last one at 29:55) you mention "Volkswagen Audi Group", assuming this is your interpretation of VAG; I want to warn you that is not correct. It stands for Volkswagen AG = Volkswagen AktienGesellschaft. The international name of VAG is simply Volkswagen Group.

[@Tekart47]

“AG” is denoting the legal entity type... So “AG” in Germany is similar to “Inc.” in US terms.

Rennlist is really up about this video.Hope you guys have access to see the response. For me, it confirms that I bought the right car . I wish I could handle the manual, but with my hip arthritis, I got a PDK.

Curious do you have a link?

[@trevorphillips3922]

You own a 911 AND have a Koala as your profile pic? You’re a cool dude. Seriously, I love 911s and koalas.

Thanks you Mark for doing a longer technical segment for this vehicle. This is why i subscribed years ago!

In 2013, I brought my 2012 991 Carrera into the Porsche Dealer for an annual tuneup and oil change. I was loaned a 997 Carrera S. After driving the S for the day and then picking up my 991, the comparison just blew me away. The newest generation was so much better than the previous generation that my Carrera standard was so much better than the S in every area. Apparently 8 years of evolution in the S, makes the latest generation so much more car than the earlier generation that the two are almost not comparable. It is so much better. An interior that is special and still has switches and the electronics that control the car make it an amazing experience and in control in all cases, even during the rain. The 991 was so much car that I'm in no hurry to part with my old NA 3.4 liter standard Carrera. For those who don't have a Porsche but always wanted one, the S version of this latest car (or a GTS version) is the one to have, unless you have to have a super car. Then you'll have to pony up the money to afford the GT3. AF

I think Mark is finally converted.

[@smiles1151]

About time.

[@andrea7693]

As I was watching the video all I was thinking was "if I worked at Porsche I would constantly ask the bosses if we could make a one off model to REALLY pay tribute to the old ones, something similar to what Singer is doing but all about the driving, 0 electronics, 0 aids, NA engine, slim tyres to have fun with it at lower speeds, around 1, 1.1 tons. A car that you've got to stay on top of it or it will bite.. something that requires cojones, not that WARNS YOU IF IT DETECTS WATER".. there must be remained someone out there willing to purchase something that really rewards you because it's difficult

[@ternavasso1963]

Just buy an old 356 or an early 911. just your foot your hands and your butt to feel and control the car. But the 992 is truly fun and amazing as well.

[@vermilliontoaster3063]

I love y’all! You’re content is impeccable and your humor is stupendous...!

one of the best reviews I've seen on the 992. Thank guys.
