Well, it's finally here - the Porsche 911 has gone Hybrid. Well, only one sub-variant has gone hybrid. The new 992.2 generation GTS model features a 1.9 kWh battery pack connected to two e-motors: one inside the PDK transmission, and the other inside the single turbocharger. Through an interesting combination of electricity and combustion, the package makes 532 horsepower and 449 lb/ft of torque, rocketing the GTS variants to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds, while returning more fuel efficiency (particularly at speed) and fewer emissions. Yes it adds weight, complexity and price, but how is it to drive?

I’m never worried that “the new 911” will be better than the last. It always is. My problem is that is best for old people who want to daily drive their 911, or people who want to track them. But as someone who just wants a cool experience driving back roads on the weekend, I actually want a “worse” car (by Porsche standards). I want lighter, harder shifts, more oversteer… Good news is, the cars that can do that are much cheaper than this is new. As usual, Porsche kills it. But I am over their perfection. It’s not interesting to me anymore. I’d rather take $200,000 and buy 3 or 4 older cars that will scratch all my different itches, none of which are “perfection.”

The sound of the engine on the track sounds very monotone. I used to have a 718 S before getting my 992.1 Carrera T (with manual). This new GTS sounds almost 718 turbo 4-ish at speed. I know it's heresy to say it, but it just does. Has nothing to do with performance, which is obviously brilliant. I'm glad Matt leaked out he'd rather have a 911 S/T before slathering all the praise over the new model that everyone else is.

Cars have reached a point where "better" has become less desirable for many of us. More efficient? Faster? More automated and higher-tech? Sure, all of that. But in the process, everything is turning into an appliance. Too perfect. Perfection is sterile. Most enthusiasts would agree that cars have been plenty fast for the last 20 years. Their capabilities exceed our ability to use them, except on track (and even there, faster isn't necessarily more fun). Enthusiasts want interaction with the machine, a song from the engine, and the ability to do at least some maintenance or modification on our own. Sure this GTS is a fantastic automobile, but we can see where it's heading. I have several vehicles which are neither new nor perfect, but very enjoyable to this enthusiast. Glad I've been able to enjoy the "Peak ICE" decades during my lifetime.

Anyone craving for more power previously could have got the next level up; 911 Turbo 992.1 which costed then barely more than this new 992.2 GTS, or now second hand costs dramatically less than this new GTS. Absolutely no one was asking for more power in the GTS, and definitely not more cost, and absolutely not for this complex hybrid system which will be a maintenance nightmare in 10 years.

The performance of the 992 generation is fantastic but the engine sound is so mediocre. Having owned a 992 C2S, I always prayed no one would ask me to rev it lol It performed great at high speeds but was so boring otherwise.

@NDEEZMiata 9 күн бұрын

As goofy as it sounds…the closest thing to an older style Porsche (minus the flat 6) that’s NEW…is the ND2/3 Miata… small, lightweight, decently refined, and a very smooth relatively high revving engine. I’ve noticed quite a few Porsche owners “downgraded” to one as it’s more fun to drive on the street and way cheaper to own/maintain. With how fast modern Porsches have gotten (and modern cars in general), idk where you’re supposed to somewhat safely enjoy them other than on the racetrack. They’re big cars now…not much room to play in your lane on a mountain road. Speed limits for mountain roads in the States are stupid low, usually 35mph….even 60 mph is probably a bore given how fast and capable this 911 is. I wish companies could make an OG Exige/Elise style car…90s-mid 2000s was the peak for cars IMO

Ya but manufacturers are beholden to legislation. Maybe not in America, but in Europe certainly.

I feel like maybe you didn't watch the entire video... He said it's loud! It's also faster and handles better.

@jeffcamara 2 күн бұрын

@JSmooVE3990 No, I did.. but going by the audio, it doesn't seem it.. maybe because the mic is isolated to his voice.. I guess there's only one way to find out, and it's first-hand experience

I also wear my Rolex on my right hand, because wearing it like normal people doesn't show in the camera.

So you live in a world where people can't wear their personal timepiece on the wrist they prefer, lest they be judged by "normal" people? Sad. Guess it's okay to have your watch on camera in a RHD car.

This tech in the next GT3 is going to be hard AF. A smoother, faster, GT3...only sad we may never see this tech in a Cayman/Boxter GTS

How do they do a compression test on a car with no starter?

I gotta ask-- what's up with the audio during the ctec ad? Not complaining I was just a lil high and thought I might have been having a stroke LOL

Live audio from a tall concrete lined room compared to the usual which I’m guessing is recorded in the sound isolated podcast studio on the good mic, perhaps?

I wonder if this will be tunable with the e-turbo?

@jirace 11 күн бұрын

What is really crazy is a Camaro ZL1 1LE in six years ago in 2018 did that same time, and it cost less than half the price at $70k. Given the substantial increase in horsepower over the 992.1 GTS, I wonder if the 992.1 + $15k in power mods (tune, headers, exhaust, upgraded turbos, E85) would probably destroy the 992.2. Even at the same power, how much turbo lag are you going to have on the Nurburgring? Probably not much, so that means the e-turbo is useless. Wonder how long the battery will last before it degrades or overheats.

Maybe just a me issue but I have noticed when a release happens I tend to miss the main channel review at first until I watch the podcast and realize I missed a good episode. I have a lot of subs that I watch so sometimes I do miss the main channel new reviews when they all drop at the same time, it floods the sub page. Funny I found you on drive when you worked there and thought oh, I’d rather just watch him on his channel than this tv show thing. Will also say I’m kinda guilty of watching the podcast more than the main channel nowadays. Crazy how tastes change as you age. Found the old “garage” vids a long time ago but can’t find them anymore probably for a good reason 😂

Porsche, for the new Carrera S please make a 3.0L or de-tuned 3.6L version of this without the electric motor and with a smaller battery pack, but keep the e-turbo, and make it available with a manual (should be possible since it won't have the electric motor). No PDCC, no ugly active aero vents up front

This new tech is bananas when it comes to tech advancement, formula one territory stuff, but I am keeping my 992.1 GTS, lost me at no manual, this cars are getting more complicated every day, I personally think that PDK will be an expensive repair and if one part fails on that Hybrid function then no starter or no AC, reliability has been the #1 Porsche premise not sure this cars will last 50 years like the old school ones
