    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?
    Porsche provided airfare, lodging, track time, meals, the vehicle, insurance, and fuel for this review.

    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. For the same money I’d get a mint 992.1 Turbo S any day

    It’s mind blowing that Porsche has been able to charge such a premium for the most mediocre sounding 911 generation outside of the GT3/ST. 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

      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

    1.9 kilowatt hours / 400 volts = 4.75 amp hours! To put that into perspective, a typical car 12v battery is about 80 amp hours. However, watt hours is a function of volts and amps, so of course a 12v battery would have more amp hours since the voltage is WAY lower

      Of all the things that would make me agree with you, I'd clarify the hybrid is the least of my worries. Batteries and electric motors have been proven to be extremely reliable in automotive history for ~25 years now. A headache in 30 years? probably yeah, but not in 10. It'll be a lot of other conventional things (including the engine sad to say) that'll be a nightmare in 10!

    • @dandylion1987
      @dandylion1987 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @@Trendyflute That's not really the problem, rather the finite life of batteries and the fact you WILL be sat with a big bill after 10 years or so is a massive issue, and hurts resale values. I mean who would want a car knowing that in a few years you are definitely getting hit with a 15k bill for a battery pack?
      A well maintained engine will do over 10 years easily, and it breaking is a possibility, not an inevitability like changing batteries.

    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.

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.
