2025 Porsche 911 992.2 | Bigger Engine, Electric Turbo

[@MR3DDev]

I remember a time when "electric turbo" meant some BS you got from Ebay

[@toddstevens8506]

Not to split hairs but it's an electrically assisted turbocharger, it's still principally powered by exhaust gas.

[@aussie2uGA]

I was quite tempted to stick those in my mk4.

It’s amazing how the Savagegeese channel has evolved, from Arby’s food reviews to 911 press releases and technical briefings.

[@umadachi]

And red lobster reviews too! That's more American luxury than a buick envista!

[@Suomyice]

But the issue is that what made the channel special in the early days for us that have been supporters of Mark for before this became his full on profession. Feel like it is losing more and more of it originality as time passes by and hate to say it and with all to respect for Jack. I think he is the biggest reason for it. As he wants to make it more into sometimes like this video is for exp. And to us the OG's this isn't what we ever wanted to see become of Savagegeese.

[@augustortiz]

I agree and I love Jack as a presenter. I think it’s sad Mark isn’t that involved anymore and the channel has morphed into something new. That being said im still a firm believer in Savagegeese supremacy as a car channel. I also feel it’s morphing into a commercial powerhouse like Motortrend was in its peak. It certainly has a lot of similarities. Hopefully it can retain some of the fun from the early videos with the highly technical deep dives and well, car porn it currently offers.

I guess aliexpress was ahead of the game with electric turbos.

[@borderwave2]

They kind of glossed over it, but the Lambda 1 thing is really big news. There is not a single turbocharged engine on sale that targets an AFR of 14.7 under load. That's very impressive.

[@lorrinbarth1969]

If it works

[@ikaros4203]

*puts in 89 octane*

[@ChurchAutoTest]

Actually most of them do, at least for limited operation. BMW has been doing it since the N54 engine, but would only run lambda 1 up until 4000 rpm or so, or for a few seconds until exhaust temps climbed then they'd go to power enrichment. The 3.0 turbo in the new Acuras tries to run lambda 1 for as long as possible as well (BMW does it better).

[@domkraggp9944]

So is it detrimental to keep the AFR stoichiometric at full load ? , I thought all engines did this ?

[@ikaros4203]

@@domkraggp9944 on regular gasoline yes very hard to do and has never really been done on cars 100% of the time before… on Ethanol fuel you could do it because it burns slower and cooler allowing quite lean mixtures And if you’re wondering why it’s bad: lean mixture means more heat (and therefore knock/preignition… very bad for every part of the engine lol)

They really listened to consumers 🧐 -sure, the hybridization makes it faster but I’m going to bet the ride will be more soulless. Faster is not always better. I’d much rather drive a 993 over a Tesla S Plaid any day. -Maintenance will most certainly be a nightmare in the long run with all of these complexities. -those front fins are a no go. -MSRP “slightly raised”?!?!

Right on all accounts; Porsche hates its traditional customers. Every new 911 will be more EV u til it’s a Tesla wanna be. Might as well buy a Chinese BYD since EVs are just a commodity. The engine was the soul of Porsche and they have gutted it. They will force this down your throat if you want a new car. As far as I’m concerned Porsche is dead to me.

Was behind a NASTY sounding mustang yesterday, and him and i cruised at around 100 mph for many miles, and having to slow down, double clutch, and be involved the whole time, was far more fun than a fast fridge. more engaging car that I feel I'm more involved with will win me over any speed of electric cars.

The only way you can access the pump is with the oil pan removed, it is a very stupid idea to have 2 one dollar o-rings between the oil and water circuits. It is all about cutting costs, as with the full digital dash. These cars will be good for 5-7 years, after that will be scrap. Even "new" "OEM" spare parts for other older Porsches are cheaply made in India or Pakistan.

For the rest of us mortals doing HPDEs, would the battery last a 25 minute session at like AutoBahn Club or Road America? How long does it take to then get the battery back to 100%?

[@peakinearly_2788]

Wow thats how hybrid engines are done right! Keep the weight down and improve on power and responsiveness off the drivetrain. Well done Jack and Porsche!

[@harris7963]

This was a pleasure to watch!

[@artjomslivenskis429]

The level of detail. WOW!

[@clemnewton9007]

the interviews theses guys get is awesome it is not done by many they get alot awesome job

[@badhobz1]

Wowowowo a brand new Porsche engine. That’s synonymous with reliability right ?! Right ?

[@MadMike991]

Very cool technology, but I’d be worried about long term reliability. Maybe I’m just getting old but it just seems like so many more things could break on this (with time). I have a 991.2 and the wastegate failed on one of the turbos. At least that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about with the 992.2.

[@shahrukhbakar3248]

Yeah now you just have to worry about electrics imbedded in the turbo, a unique 400V battery, a water pump buried and driven by the oil pump for the sake of no accessory belt drive…great progress in reliability!!!

I will keep my 718 GT4 with 3 pedals.

[@r2dad282]

your family might sell it after your funeral. maybe. but that's a classic, no need to upgrade until your knee gives out.

[@whatchis1120]

Love the technical interviews on how this system functions, I am curious on how it will truly function out on the road and longer term. So glad they didn't make it a PHEV, like the E-Ray and on other performance cars so you don't run out of juice beside on a track where most won't go. Now if only the depreciation will kick in and demand slow on the older cars along with the flippers so I can get one.

[@rogersliu1200]

For those who understand that heat is the biggest enemy of magnet motors, sandwiching it in between a hot turbo housing takes some work to solve the temperature issue. Although being skeptical at first of the hybrid, now reading the full spec, it is a great advancement. But hopefully, it solves the Porsche hybrid issue from the old days: once the battery is dead, the entire car stops.

In other news, Today Porsche announced that oil and coolant changes will be engine out

[@jaynuck]

Stoich across the rev band is crazy. Would love to nerd out with the engine team more.

[@2failepic]

Can't wait to buy the limited edition for 100k more with *checks notes: analog dials.

[@geemiami6251]

Great journalism. Awesome video

[@BranGrizz]

He dodged the question very blatantly, but for those wondering, yes, the analogue tach was ditched purely to save cost. It’s a part count decrease. Much easier and cheaper to have one screen.

[@kineticU]

Nice job Jack! Excited about this tech. I’ll be waiting patiently to get one of these bad boys in a few years. 🤞

[@Stigs722]

This is the only 992.2 video I need to watch

[@van123446]

always appreciate the indepth with the engineers. And, could of just put the Turbo motor in the GTS and gone without the hybrid element,, but guessing the new Turbo will knock our socks off

[@jnewguyin]

This reminds me of how the current F1 powertrain is designed. Which is the spirit of F1 I think. Pushing the innovation and applying it to production cars

[@lkjh00on89]

Great video guys. Camera work was on point (thought the car was CGI for a few seconds there). And great interview as well. Was very interesting to learn about that hybrid system.

[@billydanzz]

Next level videos and interviews! "RELEASE THE GEESE!"

[@hyperbomb02]

Jack is in his Sunday best. He looks like the Gorilla door guard in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

[@Carado5150]

Who framed Roger rabbit was my favorite movie as a kid along with the dirt bike kid and herbie the love bug. Definitely watching it later.
