Having owned and experienced a 911RS America and a 2007 Carrera 4S, I am not happy at all with the hybridization of the 911 series! I totally understand the performance benefits but it's not my cup of tea. At least, we should be offered a choice!
There will be two lines of cars avail for the 992.2 - some will be hybrid like the GTS Hybrid and others will be non-hybrid like the Carrera. We're all waiting to see what will happen to the GT models
Well, Don, contrary to you, I don’t mind the front aero treatment at all, what I profoundly dislike are the round tail pipes enclosed in chunky square… whatever they are. What were they thinking ? To answer your question, you can have the back seats reinstalled at no cost, as an option. As for the legendary key, well let’s be honest, if I remember right the real key disappeared with the 997 generation and since then its all been gimmicky stuff. So the start/stop button, despite it not looking classy, is no real loss in my opinion.
The 992.2 hybrid system is effectively a pure power boost solution while complying with emission control regulations. You cannot drive this new 911 in EV mode. And yes I’m all with you with the PDK only option. The manual gearbox will be missed by many. Lets hope the 992.2 GT3 will still have an NA engine compatible with the fabulous 6 speed manual. The 911 is (inevitably) changing, but so is life. Unless we stick to what is still available, we’ll just have to feel content with the new 992.2 😄😎
You've made quite a few good points. I appreciate you watching.
I prefer the new gts styling wise tbh. I just dont like the all digital dash and the start up button but the rest is executed pretty well imo
I do like what they’ve done in the rear. The headlights and trick as well
Agree with most of your observations. The push start button is very poorly executed, but then i never liked the clumpy key from the 992.1 The worst thing imo is the digital dash. Really not a fan of that at all. Maybe its my age, but i much prefer the analogue cars.
With the digital dash it makes you question why not just get a Taycan instead
@BitterCarGuy
They've probably gone digital as the analogue gagues will struggle to keep up with the acceleration now. Still don't like them though.
Porsche heading wrong direction. 992.1 simpler and a lot better. Glad I bought a 2023 992.1 c2s with sports design in gt silver with black/mojave interior. Just beautiful with more than enough power and torque
I love the spec on your dot 1. Enjoy it!!
Well, Sir, like they say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure if it performs the way they say it will perform and I allocation. I will trade my 992 in tomorrow. and there’s a reason F1 cars are so quick. They keep the turbo spooled up in Willow Springs racetrack which I do track days the fastest way around the track is a PDK 😀
should’ve got a gt3rs then
Are you worried about reliability of this new hybrid system?
@@BitterCarGuy I don’t really worry about reliability. I always maintain a proper maintenance schedule and keep my warranty up-to-date.
I like the new aero but I don't think its really any different from the years before. Not worth the value especially if you already own one.
Agreed don’t sell until they’ve worked out the kinks in the hybrid system
Agreed - looks stupid. And what a slap in the face to put electric motors in it & eliminating the front trunk space at that. Smh
Also, if anyone for some hell awful reason wants to choose the new 2024 model -- I really think they look better in a dark color such as jet green or forest metallic for instance with the way that grille is...
I think ppl should hold off before getting a 2024 unless you’re getting the Carrera
Awesome
Thanks bud!!
I have to agree with him. The front end is ugly.
Thanks so much 🙏
It’s time to switch to Aston Martin, the new Vantage is a stylish beast
Very stylish and makes a good noise too
I’m thinking the same or the AMG GT 63. Porsche seems to hate its loyal customers that want ICE cars. I asked my dealer - who sold me the last 3 new Porsches about ordering a 911 turbo s.. He said I’d have to pay a $30,000 fee on top of msrp. So, it’s a privilege to buy a new car from Porsche I guess. eff Porsche and eff Porsche dealers.
Hey Don! I agree with your analysis of the 992.2. Some terrible decisions by the VW group. After the 997 years, the 911 has just been getting uglier every year. BTW !! Are you from St Vincent in the Caribbean ? My friend Kim Collins has the same accent as you. Just wondering. Thanks for the great content. All the best !!
Hey thanks for watching and good catch on the accent. Very close but I’m from Trinidad and Tobago but I have family in St Vincent! Thanks for the feedback and for watching
If the stupid thing was 0-60 in 2.4 seconds or under lol... & being lighter!!! - then we might be on to something but it's n0t!!!
Agreed lol.
Totally agree with you!!!!
Thanks 🙏
I totally agree with you I am disapointed with Porsche and precisely on the new 911. Let us see how is GT3 and the touring going to be and if they are going hybride that's it. No more Porsche. I am driving GTS 992.1 and I am waiting for GT3 touring
Hold on to your current car!!! Who knows what's going to happen with values of the 992.2
Stay bitter. You don’t have to buy one. Upgrading next year.
Best of luck. Get the extended warranty
this is porsche`s first step to going full electric with the whole 911 range, too: mark my words.
I can see them having an NA model and an EV 911 side by side.
This is all about Porsche being woke. They could have achieved all the performance improvements with traditional ice technology. The new gts is way more complex and complicated than it needs to be and this will drive up cost to purchase and to maintain. I will not buy a EV technology Porsche.
Have a PhD in Thermo, Fluids & Heat Transfer? How about Combustion? Are you a Powertrain Engineer?
How can you be so sure?
I’ll answer: you cannot.
I agree. I would never purchase any electric vehicle since I don’t want anything to do with this technology. Currently I own and drive the BMW M4-GTS. Contrary to this car not getting the best reviews from the experts, it’s an amazing machine with performance few can touch. Additionally, I refuse to play the price hike wars where people are paying over sticker to get a GT-product. I believe that Porsche as a company should really take control of the nonsense that dealers are playing with all of us car enthusiasts.
@@pkrastev1 you want nothing to do with technology yet you drive a technological masterpiece of a car and you’re on the internet which is also a tech marvel…
But I know what you mean. I’m just kicking your heels, man.
I don’t want an EV, either, but I adore what Porsche has done with the GTS. Can’t wait to see what the GT2 RS will be like.
