Impression on winding and highways

Since I am still breaking in, I have not used high rpm, so I would like to report only my impression of the handling.

As with the ride described above, theThis 992 has quite sporty handling.For example, when driving the usual tight winding roads, the Boxster GTS requires light braking just before a corner, but with the GT3, there are places where the driver can turn without braking. So, the GT3 can turn with no braking.Running this 992 is actually very close to GT3.It turns with no brakes at all.

I had a GT3 delivered to me once.Cars with less brake pressureI described the 992 as "the best", and that's exactly the same feeling I get with this 992. Of course, I am not saying that the performance is the same as GT3.Great handling that comes close.This is the reason why the company has been working on this project for so long.

especiallyWhen set to Sport Plus, the engine mounts and suspension become stiffer, transforming the car into a rather rigid vehicle.The handling is more responsive. The handling is more crisp, and the car drives wonderfully, hardly like a regular Carrera as we have come to think of it. In particular, the effect of the quicker steering gear ratio (11%) than the 991 is particularly significant, and anyone who knows the Carrera up to now and drives the 992 on a winding road will notice the difference.

There are no negatives to the RR design at all, and there is no need to think about how to increase the ground contact area of the front wheels. All you have to do is to turn the steering wheel. It turns effortlessly as if there is a heavy weight on the front.

From an air-cooled Porsche driver's point of view, this RR-like behavior is notIt looks more like a passenger car and less like a 911."This may be the case.

But there is absolutely no passenger car that turns like this.

The 992 usually hides its RR-like characteristics.It has the nostalgia for the original 911 riding style.It can be said that

To be honest, I really enjoy driving the 992 on the winding roads, not as racy as the GT3, but not as nimble and moist as the 981 Boxster. It's just the right balance, and it feels very fresh.If I had to pick one, I would say that the handling is close to that of the 718 series, but with even more density.It is. I'm still breaking it in, so I'm sure there are things I'm not seeing, but I personally quite like the handling.

Some people sometimes think that because the 911 is an RR model, high speed stability is poor unless it is a 4WD model, but this is not the case at all with the 992.It runs straight and true, and the high speed range is the stage where the 911 really comes into its own.

On the other hand.Some may find this highway excellence uninteresting.When driving normally at high speeds, the car cruises at 100 km/h at only 1400 rpm, and is a perfectly quiet GT coupe itself, giving the driver the feeling of steering the car like an air-cooled 911, and the feeling of being "in control" of the car.When you want to be there, you're already there.The agility of lane changes, which is described as "very smooth," is mild compared to the air-cooled Porsche, or rather, it seems to be more stability-oriented.

This may be one of the points that are viewed negatively by the 911 enthusiasts of yesteryear.

Nevertheless.The fact that it has become so high performance is to be honestly commended, and the fact that it has become a 911 that everyone can enjoy is wonderful.It is. After driving the previous generation 991, I thought that it could not be improved any further. I thought that they could not improve it any further, but I was betrayed again this time. It is definitely better, and definitely more powerful.

'TheThe latest Porsche is the best PorscheThe word 'a' is often said, and it seems to be true this time as well.
