- MotoMan has waited over 18 months to drive the 992 generation of the Porsche 911 with a manual transmission! That day has finally arrived, so MotoMan puts aside his manual transmission bias for a scientific approach in evaluating this 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S with a 7 speed manual transmission both on the road as well as in a round of our famous #OptionsGame . . .

Thanks for the great review of an awesome car. Huge kudos to Porsche for continuing to build driver’s cars for people who still love to shift their own gears. This is definitely the car I would pick when I spec my next 911.
Great review as always man.
I really love all the details and info that I learn watching everyvideo of urs!
Thanks, Hady!
Love your work Motoman! Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for your appreciation!
Awesome review, great to see Porsche offering a manual transmission. Thanks Motoman!!
Superbly presented as usual. Thank you sir.
Thank you, Seth!
Love to see how beautiful the G Blue looks. I ordered it on my coming Spyder with a red top and red interior. Will go nicely with my Miami B GT3 Touring! Great review!
Post up a picture of that when it arrives . . . would be intrigued to see that color combo!
4:31 stunning colour
So happy Porsche offers a manual transmission! Reinforces the long- held idea that unlike some cars (Ferrari anyone?) Porsches are meant to be driven!
I’m with you. COMPLETELY!! Give us a 992 GT3 Touring, manual, targa!! I’m in. Sign me up now. I’ll park it next to my 718 Spyder that’s on order!!!!!
Was on a PCA tour this weekend and a driver had a beautiful 992 targa GTS manual. She couldn’t stand the buffeting and the anti-buffet strip didn’t help much. Just something to keep in mind.
Agreed - a GT3 Touring / Targa would be the dream spec!!
As always well done, you're my favorite car review channel, danke, bis spater. My German isn't as good as it used to be , I hope I got that right?
Alles klar!
Gt3 Targa touring that would indeed be my dream car
Love the sound of that motor with a manual ! Great review as always, what 992 would you spec and why? Me - targa 2s manual Oxford green with wood and dark brown , go old school
Funny you ask . . . we are going to talk about that very subject in an upcoming episode . . . I will be bringing show and tell.
You cannot get. The targa in 2 wheel drive anymore
Sad that the non-S Carrera isn't available with a manual. It'd be the lightest, most streetable and most affordable 992. Instead, as I know Porsche they'll offer the manual Carrera as a stripped-down Carrera T that you pay up for (due to included options), not less. =/
Thank you. I always enjoy your reviews. Maybe I missed it, but can you speak to the differences between the 2S and 4S?
4S is all wheel drive.
Not yet as I have yet to drive a 4S manual.
Yes anything manual and anything GT3 in the 992 range but sure why not a Targa. Fantastic idea!
Great review as always, though your request for a gt3 touring targa is a bit ridiculous IMO, the targa top adds a whole bunch of weight at the worst place(top) and would cause it to not be worthy of a GT badge bc of its driving dynamics. The spring rates and dampers would have to be extremely stiff to try and keep all that weight in check which would cause it to have a overly rough ride, the targa is cool enough on its own but it would be cool if they offered a performance package that included that glorious 4.0L NA flat 6
Does the manual also have the soft rev limiter like the PDK version?
I have a BMW 2021 M240i custom build 6 speed manual that was placed back in Nov 2020. Would love to know if you have done a video on that car or plan on doing one. One of the few cars that can be ordered with a manual transmission.
Waking up on a Saturday morning with a MotoMan review of a manual 992, life is awesome!
How does the engine and exhaust sound IRL? I have a 2015 Boxster GTS and I’m afraid if I upgrade to a 992, although it’ll be a faster car, it won’t sound as good. Your thoughts? Glad to see that you’re recovering well, and in style!
Thank you, sir:) I still miss this car . . . that said, the only exhaust sound complaint I have with Porsche are the 4 cylinder 718s.
Great Review! Prefer the Targa or regular coupe over the Cabrio but still glad that the manual transmission is still available at a time when most European sportscars don't offer them at all. While PDK is an impressive piece of engineering this is definitely the current sweet spot of the range. Very much approve of your idea for GT3 targa!
We gotta get Achim to approve . . .
Where is the wind deflector? Is it still electric?
Is the 992 more of touring car or a track car? I like Porsches, but I don't want something where I can feel every bump and nick in the road. I want to go on long drives and do spirited driving along mountain curves.
nice review but the sport exhaust is not standard, it is part of the sports package ($5,460)
The rally strap is giving me all sorts of bad ideas & I'm barely holding it together, damn you Mathew lol. 🤣
Anyway, back to 911, that smile is just what the doctor ordered, kudos to Zuffenhausen for making it happen. 👍
M, if money is no object & Porsche said No, would you transplant a GT3 hardware (engine, suspension, the whole works) into a Targa? Like the McChip & Ares cars?
Plastic Fantastic cracked me up, describes it perfectly lol. 🤣
As always, excellent work, M.
While I would love the *idea* of a one off 'Targa GT3', there are too many other toys I would want first that would keep be in a Targa 4S Manual.
Thanks for another outstanding video. How does it compare to the AMG GTC in terms of ride quality, performance, and overall “synergy”? And how does it compare to the 718 Spyder? Sorry, a lot of questions ;)
To me, the 992 feels like one, cohesive piece over an AMG GT C. Someone else asked about the 718 Spyder against this . . . I don't have an answer. Both are great but very different. Sadly, my decision may come down to the fact that the 718 Spyder will have better resale value . . .
@@MotoManTV Thanks for replying. In your review of the GTC you mentioned better suspension compliance, and Harry from EVO complained about the road noise in the 992...
MotoManTV I just drove a 992 (base, PDK). I was completely disappointed. It felt bland, soul less, and rather cheap inside, compared to an AMG GT C. I couldn’t believe the difference in driving feel, enjoyment, and engagement when I got back into the GT C. Oh and the obscured dials in the 992 is just inexcusable.
I’m going to wait for the 400Z
"good to be feeling home again" yeah riding a Porsche and submitting world class reviews again!
Indeed:)
Here in the Netherlands manual is still the norm(altough auto is taking over soon). I do wonder if regular cars Will ever get 7 speed manuals. Where 5 and 6 are the norm. Before ev take over
Don’t know why you can’t have adaptive cruise with a manual... my 2017 golf R manual had it. Doesn’t VW own Porsche?
I would buy a GT3 Touring Targa Manual!
Re: GT3 Targa - Not quite a GT3 but when the GTS come out it most likely will have the Targa option as it did with the 991. My pref though would be a non-GTS with the powerkit, which seems to become available when ever a GTS is introduced. Yes, a more expensive way to get the extra oomph but i am not a fan of the boy racer visuals of the GTS's. But at a purported 480hp with a manual - nice! (just opining here.)
GTS is a good option from a value perspective. Me, I would do the silver Targa bar and delete all the GTS badging.
Exactly! (real targa's have silver bars!) Still too much blacked out detailing on the gts. I like the stealth idea of optioning the non gts with the powerkit and other choice options - i know, a costly way to do it but at theses price its
ridiculous vs a little more ridiculous!
It´s a first 7 speed manual (H) street car ?
I’ll choose manual 992 over pdk just because of this shifting gear liver
The gear shift knob it knurled on the 992 Manual:)
That is not a 4S as the video title denotes. Otherwise great review.
what color can u choose on roof other than black if you have any ideas give some
Really depends on the exterior and interior colors as well as the specific car. For example, a two seat, two door convertible generally looks great with a Red/tan interior/tan top, Green, Tan Interior, Tan Top. But when you get into something this large, it becomes a bit more difficult. Porsche does offer some tops colors that are *very* close to the exterior colors. For example, they do a blue top that comes very close to Gentian blue - same with the darker red. Other ideas:
- Gentian Blue/Red top/two tone interior that has some Red to pick up the top. Must have a contrast stitch.
- Midnight Blue/Dark Saddle Roof/Dark Saddle interior with the contrast stitch.
MotoManTV Aventurine Green Metallic
Cabriolet Roof in Brown
Club Leather in Agave Green with Chalk Stitching was my spec list for turbo s I’m not into very vibrant colors chris harris said the other day that don’t get black wheels with blue but I like more subtle specs
If you spec'd the car out and took it to the dealer - will they give you a discount?
Which do you prefer and why? Boxster Spyder or 7 speed manual 992?
Super tough call for which I don't have an answer.
@@MotoManTV That close that if you someone was giving you either car for free and you had to keep it for life you wouldn't know which to chose?
Wouldn't it be cool if overdrives came back proper? I think 6 speed with an overdrive instead of a 7th speed would be a great thing to see on a modern car
7th is an overdrive of sorts. Top speed is achieved in 6th. 7th is for fuel economy. Can't say I ever used in my time with this car:)
@@MotoManTV Thanks for the reply MotoMan, Yeah I mean it would be cool as a novelty and also 6th would be top gear, maybe they could make the gate smaller? Idk, just a cool idea I thought
Why are there no owner reviews of the 992 manual on TH-cam when it’s supposedly been out for a while now? All I see is the same press car like yours reviewed by several channels. Is Porsche limiting supply of manual 911s? Shift knob looks cheap like it came off a Volkswagen Golf
I would take a manual Targa 2 with the 4.0 from the Boxster/Cayman. No turbo, sufficient hp for the street, and not as loud as a GT3 engine on longer journeys.
Btw I have a few gripes with the 992, why are the BMW (M5) and Mercedes (E63) able to switch the 4wd to 2wd on demand, and a sports car brand like Porsche is not able to do the same with the 4 models? 2nd the 911 interior always had a Bauhaus type design philosophy, less is more. They should have made the interior infotainment system like the Audi TT and R8 with one screen behind the steering wheel and optional headup display.
The ability to switch off torque to the front wheels in a 992 would be a capital idea.
I hate pdk.
And I want a Turbo S 911 but I refuse refuse to buy one with pdk.
I want Manual transmission
Make it available on turbo S 911
I wonder if manufacturers are thinking that ultra quick cars with manuals are just too much for the average driver.
Yes, there is some truth to that however the real reason is people don't buy them.
@@MotoManTV I'm going to miss them when they're gone. I like manuals.
Honestly how can they not let the standard Carrera have the manual option SMH !
its more pure and engaging as reviewed everywhere. Such a shame to save on emissions.
Standard Carrera episode coming up shortly.
Not double clutching on this one?
Just not on camera this time:)
jesus I need my salary to keep up with the inflating cost of 911's : ( 140 smackaroos man
Come to Oz they start at $300,000.🙃🇦🇺😢
Santa maria madre de dios
You can say that again:)
They could do 8 speed manual😂😂
Great review, but i don't know about rev matching to be honest, i have a 5 speed manual, with no assistance at all and changing gears and trying to rev match the best you can yourself is what makes a manual transmission so fun for me, so i really am pissed that you can only choose a manual with rev matching, might as well just go ahead and get the PDK option.
Mandatory rev match only in Sports/Sports+ modes.
You can turn off the rev matching
Manual transmission Vs tiny razor shaver ? Let me think...🤔
I take the manual!!!
Like if you still remember the times when the manual transmission in the 911 was 2000€ cheaper than the PDK and Not a free option.
Remember it well . . .
20 years ago, a Porsche 911 with an automatic was a laughable thought. Today we have to fight for the manuals. I don´t care about the last three tenth of a second acceleration. I want to be in control, I want to mudulate RPMs at launch to my will, ride the clutch if I chose to, let it slip and grip to kick out the back, all the wonderful things you can only do with a manual. And yes, at the end of the day any automatic is made primarily for lazy people who can´t drive. Which unfortunately make up 80% of all sports car buyers, or even more. I had to get this of my chest.
I always laugh out loud at the 'I bought the auto because it is faster'. My answer to that: 'Really, I had no idea you made your living as a race car driver':)
Agreed I have my 992 s manual on order can’t wait 🙏🏼
If YOU want to have the BEST manual transmission ever... Just buy a MIATA ND 2020... THAT'S IT 😇
Great car, shame all the press cars (and most cars ordered altogether) are all in boring colors. Black/grey/white/dark blue with black/grey interiors, yaaay :(
They do that because most of them are auctioned off after about 5,000 - 10,000 miles in service. This one is actually a daring color for a media car. Right now, I have a Stinger GTS that finished in 'Federation Orange'. Bring sunglasses for that episode.
Love it, But it is some $80K overpriced in my book. I call it the AAB value 😁😁.
fourth comment
These cars are getting more and more out of reach
Thats an ugly rear look
