911 (992) [Official] Porsche 911 (992 Series)


The Porsche 992 is the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, which was introduced at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles on 27 November 2018.
1250 buyers about to be duped into the most underwhelming, overpriced and pointless 911 ever. You can get a 992 GTS and a 718 GT4 for the same money. A base 992 Carrera PDK is faster. All this thing is, is a deposit-taker over the regular cars that Porsche can’t make to sell.

Money is no object for these people, so the price is pretty much irrelevant.

What's left over is IMO an awesome package. A RWD manual Turbo S engined 911 is something I'd want.
 
Rather have a 997 GT2, if you must have a special Turbo + manual + RWD 911.

This would have been good choice if it was normally priced and available, but for 300k + markup, it becomes a wanna be collector thing and there are way better 911s to collect..

It’s a niche model. A manual 911 GTS on steroids for people who want a limited edition Porsche that’s not track biased. It’s Engaging but without bucket seats, roll cage or high NVH. However I agree that the price is rather high.

It will be worth double within a year, so an excellent investment indeed.
$2000 Louis Vuitton Nikes are ridiculously priced too, yet you can sell your limited pair for 10k now....this is how these things work these days. Make it expensive and limited, and behold.....

Also, I'd rather sit in a 991 than a 997 interior. 997 interior is pretty horrid by today's standards.

It's a manual Turbo, not a manual GTS (Carrera).
 
For giggles, I configured one. Base price is just shy of US$ 60K north of a base Turbo S at $272K. With my spec including PTS Irish Green, it was at $295K. To a Porsche buyer at this level, I'd contend it's a bit chump-change for them, especially if they are repeat Porsche customers. Overall, it's an appealing package.
 
Recently I was fooled by a 992 GTS. In shark blue with aero pack and GTS designation at the back I mistook it for a GT3 until I got closer and read GTS. The owner was clever to only have GTS in black at the back rather than the full “911 Carerra GTS” designation.

I never found the aero kit of previews 911 generations to be visually convincing. However on the 992 it looks especially good and harmonious without colour coded bits on the rear bumper.

The T a nice package of options for the Carrera including less noise deadening. If you need decent storage space then it’s a good two seater to consider or else I am not convinced that it’s a more fun sports car than the 30% cheaper 718 GTS that has a naturally aspirated engine and the same acceleration figure.

Understandably the 911’s bUber size and greater presence might appeal more to some people.

I've come to realise - even in my circle of friends - that for some, the 718 isn't a "proper" Porsche and that it's 911 or bust. [As misguided and misinformed as that notion may be.]
So, for those people, looking for a "purer" entry-level 911 experience, the 911 T ticks the boxes.

Actually. For some the 911 feels more big league sports car. Amongst a Vantage, 296 or Hurecan, a 911 T in a bold spec will fit in while a 718 GTS will look like a small sports car.
