Is the new 2025 992.2 Porsche 911 worth the hype?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Cars becoming more technologically advanced, and more expensive seems to be the trend, for this reason, the idea of a new Porsche 911 was rather scary. We don't want more tech in our 911's and definitely don't need them becoming even more unattainable. Well, the new 911 generation, the 992.2 is finally here, and while there are some disappointments, there are also some promising news!
Much thanks to the Porsche Corporate marketing team whose footage was used for all 992.2 Porsche 911 photos & videos.

You don't have to get the extras. People just convince themselves they need extras so it drives the price up 10's of thousands.

That is technically true, but if you do not special order a 911 without extras, it is going to be pretty hard to find a dealership that ordered a 911 for their inventory without options.
No Targa?! All digital? Do they know the customer base? No manual?

The targa is staying, but only as the GTS, no more 4S. Also, yea, all digital, no manual. Idk why. IDK WHY!
Brother loved your video, your brutal honest is a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend, keep at it.

Appreciate it mate! Too many KZreadrs are positive about everything because they are worried about someone disagreeing with them. I want people's honest opinion, and I am not gonna get that if I don't share mine.
Great video! Particularly enjoyed hearing your thoughts in the last 2 minutes. Agree that the removal of the analog tach and starter has removed some 911ness and character from the car. Also good to see your 987.2!

Appreciate it mate! Trying this new video format out, I enjoy it, hopefully people do too! Been enjoying your videos too mate!
I like the GTS and applaud the move to mild hybrid with electrical boosted turbo/supercharger, although I expect they will be produced in smallish numbers so us mere mortals will have difficulty getting our hands on one. The other models don't float my boat at all. The move to more electronic crap in the cabin across the range is disappointing, as is the width of the cars which will cause problems if you want to continue having fun away from traffic cameras on narrow twisty country lanes .

I agree. The lower trims are getting less and less appealing to me with every generation. The 997.2 was the peak, 991.1 was still very good, but it started going downhill from there
What about torque vectoring plus, is it standard on all models or optional? Did not see folding mirrors as option either.
this means my 992 carrera S cabrio will increase value or mantain the same in 3-5 more years.. fuck yes

Same thought process every other 992.1 owner is going through. How do you think I feel about my Boxster when I heard the rumors they are going full EV
Grateful that my ‘24 992.1 GTS Coupe has been built with a manual transmission and is on its way. 🏁

A white manual is guaranteed to be a forever car. Nice spec mate thanks for sharing!
I like your concise analysis. I think a manual transmission and should be available in a 911. I didn’t know the rectangular exhaust ports are artificial. That’s disappointing, too. Still, it’s a wonderful car.

Why the digital tach tho 😢

The analog tach was really beautiful, but had a big issue as the steering wheel was blocking the two side screens. Its an issue all 992.1 owners complained about. Despite loving it, I really understand why Porsche decided to move forward to digital and more flexible digital tach.

From what I read there are 5 or so different displays you can have, and I have experienced the steering wheel issue, but the old man part of me still wants the old tach

I wanted the 992.2 GTS Cabrio with manual transmission, which I am not getting, the good news is the PDK is faster and they throw in the ACC for free as well as PASM for free. I guess I will suck it up and go for the 2025 911 GTS.
Will there be a carrera S version for 992.2?😊

Only time will tell, but I find it hard to believe people will be excited to buy a 911 with a Panamera interior for even more money than it already is
The design of the rev counter is directly taken from Audi.

I'm sure it's not the only part...
The active flaps look truly awful on the GTS and just to the inside of these is an air inlet at an angle that doesn't even line up or blend with the bumper above at 2.41.Looks like an after market botch job.

@@carcaveofficial It might have a chance to grow on us if it lined up with the bumper and wasn't made of cheap grey plastic. Will stick with my 992.1GTS ice grey with gloss black aero kit. Whats more I don't need any more power and the instant torque rubbish takes away from playing with the gears.

Ice grey metallic might just be my new favorite color from Porsche. I didn't really get on the chalk bandwagon, or the arctic grey train, but ice grey is something special.

@@carcaveofficial Yes it is. I was a little worried about my choice until it arrived. Its a camelion colour and hard to photograph. Very much like a light but sparkling GT silver in the sun but then more flat grey on dull days. Never a dull moment, literally.

My theory, because Porsche knows they can charge that and people will buy it. Don't get me wrong, it is a well performing car, but that is just too much to me.
