REVIEW - Porsche 992 Carrera S My second one | EP 132

[@zNYGv]

Congratulations on another great looking 992! What's your take on the complaints that the 992 has gotten regarding cabin noise? Is it high, bordering on unbearable, on swedish roads or exaggerated?

[@JankoLind]

Stock it is like a 991, BUT with the light wight window, it is a gamechanger. NEVER NEVER option a 992 without lightweight windows, that, my friend, will give perfect comfort to the 992 without losing any connection to your driving. My favorite option. Option Code VW4

[@oliverthemog3525]

@@JankoLind So the light weight windows makes it quite? I don't follow the logic and don't recall seeing that option!

[@zNYGv]

@@JankoLind That's some great buyers advice! I've never heard about this option before, but after you mentioned it I spent some time reading up on it and everyone seems pleasantly surprised. I didn't even know it existed. Truth be told, if I saw "Lightweight noise insulated glass" on a spec sheet i'd just assume, if anything, it made the coupe noise worse. Apparently it saves 8 pounds (or 3.6kg) weight as well. Win - Win! ; ) Thank you!

[@Braydenplaysallday]

I wish it was louder honestly. Cabin is definitely refined.

[@JankoLind]

@@oliverthemog3525 It's called lightweight and sound-isolating window. 2 good things in one option. Code VW4

[@alb3096]

It is bigger for sure and I switched from 997 S to 992S manual, it is for me like night and day because maybe in between I had 2 cayman 981 the latest was a GT4 and from that perpective this 992 with the engine been moved 168 mm forward the driving experienced is closer to my ex gt4 with that little more traction and better breaking feel. I thought that I would regret the gt4 because the entire dynamics was perfect for me but I must admit the 992 S in manual 7 speed is again a significant dynamic up grade. I’am bluffed.

[@stevenv5903]

Great content and production quality. Always enjoyed driving my manual Ferrari's, and still have them, but never quite enjoyed my 996 991.2 turbos to the same level and sold them. Truly enjoying my manual 2020 Spyder and your content has helped me better understand Porsche and enhance my enjoyment around these beautiful vehicles.

Thanks, Steven, driving Ferrari is not bad. They know a thing or two about driving. I have to remind myself to stop, look at what I have, and enjoy the experience it creates. BIG thanks for watching my videos and perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription.

[@boonie3]

As always you have a good eye for style. I love the spec you chose for this car with the exterior colour and Spyder wheels. Many times people get caught up on the GT3's and Turbo's of the world, but forget that the Carrera models are amazing cars themselves.

[@brianhimmelman420]

Dude, you started speaking a little faster! Sounds perfect, one of the best channels. Kudos !!

[@JankoLind]

Yes correct, I try to listening to my viewers but sometimes it is difficult 😞 to talk fast since English is not my mother tongue 😛

[@willscurran]

I just took delivery of a base 992 on New Years day. I opted to get the base and then put money into options including the 930 leather. The base is plenty plenty fast for highway and b roads. I live in the Pacific Northwest where there is a lot of wet driving. I am still wearing in the tires but wet driving seems comfortable - I have not pushed it yet. I might have considered the S had I seen your review and comments on torque vectoring. I agree with you on the excess in screens in the interior. But interestingly enough, they add those super cool toggle switches that remind me of older gen sports cars. They feel great to touch and turn off/on.

[@JankoLind]

Thanks, will for contributing to our community. Congratulations to your 992 Carrera. If you don't get snow in your area, you will be OK without PTW

[@JC-qf1jd]

I’ve watched this video a few times now. The car is sooo good looking. But overall I love the smiles it gives you. Can’t wait to order my gts in the same colour and wheel option u have here. Thanks man 👍

The upcoming GTS has potential. It's going to be too fast though. Perhaps you have honored me with your subscription.

[@atlasrex]

Torque vectoring is available on the base - I just ordered this option on my new 2021 Targa 4. And if you want grip- the four wheel drive is essentially torque vectoring with or without the torque vectoring option.

[@JankoLind]

Hi atlaser, Only the Carrera 4 have the option PTV, the base Carrera dose not have it. With out PTV your Carrera 4 is like all modern 4x4 actually a 2 wheel drive vehicle.

[@Schuey_M]

Congratulations Janko, on your new 992 Carrera S, it looks truly beautiful. I messaged you a couple of months ago when I was speccing mine and you kindly replied. Pleased to say I did place an order for a new 992 Carrera S back in Nov 2020. Car is due to arrive by end of April 2021 hopefully and I simply cannot wait for it, struggling to sleep at night because of my impatience. 😂 It will be my first ever Porsche which makes it extra special and I've come from a number of BMW ///M cars, so moving to Porsche is a dream for me. 🙏🏻 I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future Porsche content, keep up the good work. 👍🏼

This channel is all about the passion for the little details and this review certainly did not disappoint in this regard (it‘s excellent). Glad you went for a very long format with this! One question you did not answer though: why did you buy a 911 as an addition to your Spyder? I thought you were waiting for the GT3...

[@JankoLind]

Needed a winter car to save my Mini R55 a bit. Drive them both during the winter.

[@bobcortez9471]

Your are right about the build dates and quality. I have a 2019 built 992 S and I have had a few things done under warranty to dial it in. Now the car is great, but it took some patience.

[@willlowbridge350]

I agree with the act of physical contact to a well designed vehicle. From a young age I loved cars and did a lot of paid car valeting to my friends and families business associates. In 1990,s From 911,s, 944, Testarossa, Jaguar XJS and TVR. Cleaning a car gives you another level of appreciation to the design. I still enjoy cleaning my cars and see it now as both fitness and close inspection of my vehicles for wear abs slight damage.

I just discovered your channel today. I completely relate to your philosophy and share in your point of view, mostly about enjoying lower powered cars. I have a 997.2 GT3 and a black 992 911T that looks very much like yours. Great taste! I look forward to following your channel. Thank you.

Thanks for watching Julien

[@fkporsche1]

I’d truly hit the spot. I have had from 996 to 997.1, 997.2 GT3RS and now GT4. Totally agreed with you. The mid-engine is perfectly balanced(absolutely perfectly balanced ideal for a sportcar) but it lacks of the weight shifting back and fore of the rear engine 911. Congratulations to your new 992s! I would get the PDK gearbox as well for the new 911. Due to it would be a best match on gearbox to the engine design. Now I want to see if you will be getting the GT3, touring or even the RS?! 🦅🦅🇺🇸

[@JankoLind]

Thanks Mr FLK and congratulation to your GT4, its a blast to drive. Time will tell if I would like to move over to GT3.

[@z06van21]

@@JankoLind I know this is a Carrera video, but in regards to the GT4, I am working on purchasing my first Porsche a 2022 PDK GT4 and my first mid-engine car. I come from Camaro SS 1LE and Corvette Z06's. I hear some say that the GT4 can be a handful in the rear under hard braking because of its strut suspension and toe changes. But then I watch videos that say it is super stable and one of the best handling Porsches ever. It's so conflicting. Can you really push the GT4 hard and not have it bite you (assuming you keep the systems on). Say you are exiting an off-ramp quickly and traffic is at a dead stop and you have to slam on the brakes mid corner, does that become a scary situation in a GT4?

[@992seefouress]

Great review on a great car. Love your passion and 100% agree with the standard steering wheel vs the GT. I optioned mine the same way based on increased visibility of the dashboard.

[@JankoLind]

Perhaps I would go with the GT steering wheel on a Carrera T. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Great video. Nice to see your comment regarding PTV. I have a base 991.2 Carrera and sometimes wonder if I should have gotten the S model with PTV. The car has plenty of power for my driving style and we get little snow here in Alabama.

[@JankoLind]

Snow and track day is the most important elements for PTV. For me, it also matters on B-road since mine in Sweden are very tight with hard bends at low speeds. Perhaps you have honored me with your subscription.

[@Mario-lj7gm]

I'm a big fan your videos. I wonder if you would take a 992 T over the S since it does come with torque vectoring, manual transmission, sports exhaust, and insulated glass as standard? When you add a few options to the T, the price nowadays gets close to the S. As a side note, some reviewers say that the insulated glass makes the interior louder in the 992, which I don't think is the case at all. I think the 992 T is louder only because they removed other sound insulation to save weight. I had a 992 base with insulated glass (based on your tip) and was happy with it. I ended up trading the 992 base (found it a bit too boring) for a new 718 Spyder in large part thanks to your passion for the Spyder and love it. I hope to be able to get an allocation in the U.S. for a Spyder RS and to spec it as I would like but will be just fine if end up keeping the regular Spyder.

[@JankoLind]

Yes I believe the 992 T is a suit spot in the 992 range. Only add buckets seat in the configuration and you are all done.

[@markjarvis7087]

Great video! I don’t get this new obsession the world has with screens in cars. I just switch of when a sales person mentions them and think if that’s all they can say about the car it must be pretty rubbish! All the factory exhausts are crap and don’t get me started on soft limiters! After market all the way! Brilliant review, thanks! 👍

[@antonylacroix6475]

Lovely “new “ 992 Janko- congratulations - agree on the sportex seats nice after years of leather and alcantara ( racetex now?) , yes jet black cool , my jet black metallic sometimes looks purple in low light , cool . Something I only learnt at Silverstone experience centre from one instructor last year in addition to normal PDK operation was to use a toe tap on throttle in auto mode ( as compared to full kick down ) to select one , two or three gears downshift - quicker than paddles and fun after a little practice . Finally think I saw a recent video in USA where 718. Spyder customers get to choose tyre make at purchase ! At last ! Hope that comes to UK ( and Sweden ) ..

[@petrolstainedgloves3403]

Very good video review Janko. Very much enjoyed. Don’t agree with you about the sport design package though. I think it’s a big improvement for the rear of the car when the sports design package moves the number plate higher up. I’m not a fan of the number plate being lower as it makes the ass of the car so much bigger and expansive. Completely subjective and each to their own opinion of course. Great point you made over the sports exhaust. I think it was a great and worthwhile option up to and including the 991.1 generation. But with everything turbo charged that can with the 3.0 engine afterwards the sports exhaust does not give much.

Thanks, Petrol, for contributing to our community. YES, completely subjective and each to their own opinion when it comes to design. You make a good point regarding the sports exhaust, it made sense until the Turbo was fitted. Perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription.

We all appreciate you acknowledging our comments: that’s very nice. In your humble opinion, if “public road driving” your latest 992 S (with PDK) is a 10 for overall enjoyment and satisfaction, then what score would you give a 991.1 S (with PDK)? Many thanks Greg

[@JankoLind]

I would give it a 6 or perhaps a 7. You need RAS on a 991 to make it blossom. A 997 is a 4 or 5

Or they the same ? 2) Do you open the sunroof to get some fresh air as that seems to be a nice option 3) the 992 feels big over 991.2 as 992 is wider but after owning it what do you think?

@@JankoLind I will agree that for the extra money and since they called it "Sport" the exhaust should sound better than stock.

If it sounded better too, I would have less mental gymnastics to perform.

No, you need a 5 bolt displacement or perhaps have a look at HRE designs 101

[@ferdinandbardamu3945]

I think the Carrera has better looking wheels than the Turbo. But the non-S 992 Turbo with the sports suspension and without sports exhaust is the pick of the range until the Carrera T comes out.

Hi Janko, I'm about to buy a 992S, I'm not planning to track it, mostly will be driving in city, do you think rear wheel steering is worth picking in my case?

[@JankoLind]

If you, on a regular basis, turn in tight corners or tight parking places them yes, if not no. But have you considered a base Carrera? For what you explained that’s my recommendation. Perhaps you have honoured me with your subscription?

[@alastairdelaney6386]

I am not sure I would like that. What I love about my C2S and my Boxster S before it, is the way it grips round corners. That’s my joy of driving - the confidence that the car gives turning in. Winter tyres are not mandatory here so I find it a much looser experience in the winter months. I thought C4 might be more confidence inspiring, although no substitute to winter tyres i know.

I am always looking forward to seeing you. My country is Japan. I ordered 992. I chose Carrera 4, which allows you to select PTV as an option. Also, since GPF is not installed in Japan, I also selected sports exhaust as an option. Is it correct that I chose Carrera 4 and installed PTV as an option? Also, is it correct to install the sports exhaust as an option? I would like Janko's advice. Thank you very much.

[@JankoLind]

Hi , Yes, you need to an option GH3 PTW to the Carrera 4, it is not standard. Should be standard if you ask me. If you don't have GPF then perhaps sport exhaust is preferable. BTW congratulations on your new car. You will not be . Take care.

We are looking forward to your KZbin distribution in the future.

[@tommy516]

Your car looks amazing! I love the Jet Black Metallic. So,the A-pillar noise you are hearing, is it a whistle between certain speeds? I thought that was due to something else on the car and wonder if the sport design front changes that awful whistle..... The car is an amazing thing to drive and there is a HUGE difference between a C2S with Rear Wheel steering and a 718. I think the 992.2 is going to be pretty much perfection once they include some of the cool new things the GT3 appears to have!

[@JankoLind]

Hi Tommy, it is a whistle and it is above 80 km/h it appears. It will be solved if you option out your 992 with light wight ans sound isolating windows option code vw4. A MUST HAVE OPTION. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

Which one is more pleasure to drive c2 or c2s sir?

[@JankoLind]

C2 with PTV would be the best, but not possible. The C2 engine is perfect, not slow and not too fast but the PTV is needed for more grip out of the corners. C2s have the grip BUT too fast, you become a passenger and not a driver. If you are not already, please consider subscribing.

[@MrSchn3ll]

The 992 dilemma for me is the price. Compared to my 991.2 Carrera T it seems more insulated and tech focused and to my desired specs I would need to trade my car + $55k USD. That's a huge premium for the same engine and mostly the same driving dynamics. I just cannot justify that, great car, just not at 991.2 GT3 prices. If I were to spend this much, I would stretch slightly and go for a 991.2 GT3 Touring and have a future classic. But that's just me. :)

[@JankoLind]

Hi MrSchn3ll, I understand your thought, I was looking at the 991.2 Carrera T before deciding on the 992. For me, the design is much more appealing. Is it worth the money? I'm not going into this argument since Carrera T is one of my favorites. For the record, 992 turns in much better than any 991 wish make the driving experience even (if possible) better. An Öhlins Road and Track on a T, mission solved. Thank you for contributing to our community and I liked your comment.

I am closing in on 1k miles and have noticed that the down shifts (4-3, 3-2) in sport mode (PDK) are considerably louder with more grumbling than they were during the first 200-300 miles.
