911 (992) [Official] Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S (992 Series)

[klier]

Not true with the new ones. Here even after 40 runs, it is still faster than any ICEVs - link

Very impressive.

I had a 992 Turbo S for a year + didn’t love it

Really? That's interesting, owners I know say they Love them! What in particular were you not enamoured with?

I’d say a fair amount. Don’t love the way the power is delivered. Never gelled with it in the corners. Yes it’s fast but it’s nowhere near my 765 so when I wanted to go fast I drove the Mclaren. The suspension was a little too harsh. Overall I prefer my cayenne TGT to the 992 TTS. It’s got a greater breadth of ability and is 9/10s as capable.

I appreciate that Thank You. Particularly as you've as you've stated got the Mclaren 765LT too. Interesting comparison. Nice set right there!

Haven't had a chance to watch the video, but this seems to be a recurring theme for a lot of folks who own/have owned the 991/2 Turbos. Freight-train fast, but kinda boring and uninvolving. Not like the 996/997T. Then again those had the Mezger...

@Jo_Sta7 also mentioned similar recently I believe.

These are selling on the second-hand market for $250-300k for reasons I do not know.

It's on my "tomorrow" list too to be honest. I actually saw one here just yesterday in Silver and it looked sweet as! Bloody freezing here mind, LOL!

I know Oliver Blume let slip about the possibility of a hybrid 911 at somepoint with electric motors upfront. Now that will be possibly one of the cars of the decade. We will have to wait and see.

As for "fatigue" well it's inevitable I guess they are just so good and the limits so high.

The 992 Turbo variant are borderline hyper GTs. Very fast, comfortable and easy to rack up miles in. Similar to the Bentley CGT, it’s like a Golf R for millionaires.

That’s seriously fast.

 

[Tourbillon]

That’s seriously fast.

That car absolutely is indeed. 17.35 seconds to 300km/h and everything in between is astonishing too! 6.73 to 200km/h would give hypercars trouble to a degree.

This was also a favorite~

We have an aftermarket engineering manufacturer (to call them a tuning company would be a disservice) in the UK and they are doing incredible things. I'll find some stuff another time and share it. Incredible machines and once unwound almost unbeatable as a proposition.

Lol. GT3 cruising at 3k rpm on motorways. That's 7 gears for you!

Loud and borderline droney if you are in the mood to drive in anger.

I literally found this a couple of minutes ago. I'm about 2 minutes in and it's already gone into more detail than some others do in three quarters of an hour! Very impressed and I don't just say it for no reason.

Those Moscow guys know their stuff very evidently.

Predictable outcome is predictable, so the Porsche won. But an M3 going from 0 to 100 km/h in LESS than 3 seconds is quite something.

Fun fact. The M3 is now so expensive that you can buy a used 991 Turbo for the same money.
