Driving Position of Porsche 911
My husband came home the other day in his 911 Cabriolet (992 model) and started talking about this.
The ride quality of the 992 is stiff but smooth.Sure, there are times when it picks up the uneven road surfaces, but...But the ride has improved considerably compared to just after delivery.
afterThe 992 is very easy to get a good driving position.Wow. Of all the Porsches I've driven, this may be the easiest to get into a driving position. Well, that depends on the individual.
And.
My husband was like, "Well...I never really thought about that part of it."
The 992 has a low seating position, so I can sit with my legs stretched out and drive.I think the seating position is lower than the 991 GT3.Also, the ceiling is high, so it doesn't feel oppressive.
You can relax and drive, but it comes with a snug fit.
On the other hand.When driving on mountain passes, the seat position can be adjusted to "driving mode" and it feels very comfortable.
I think Porsche is a car that is easy to get a good driving position, but the 992 has a larger adjustment range than the 991, and also has better visibility. By the way, 981 Boxster has a little less adjustable range than 911 series.
And.
Indeed, when I drive the 981 Boxster, it takes me quite a while to adjust the seat position to fit comfortably.
But that's not..."Isn't it because the 981 and 991GT3 are MTs and you need to consider the ease of stepping on the clutch?When I say "my husband," I mean my husband.
No, I don't think it has much to do with the clutch. Especially in the case of the 981, because it is a two-seater, the backrest is not adjustable enough, the handlebars are too close together when the seat is adjusted up or down, the height of the handlebars does not match slightly, and the feet are too far away when the handlebars are adjusted.
Also, you're concerned about the slightly higher seating position.
Well, I guess you could make adjustments until you're satisfied, but then the 992 would come to a snug fit right away.
And. I see. Well, I have short legs and I have to be very far forward in my seat no matter what I ride...............................
By the way.The 991 and 992 have slightly different seat structures, seat positions, and dashboard heights.So, my husband showed me a Porsche document that showed the differences between the 991 and the 992 regarding seat positions, etc.
The new 911 Carrera Technology Workshop is a document that contains a lot of information about the 992. One of the documents is as follows.
Certainly, this document shows thatCompared to the 991, the 992 has a 12mm higher ceiling and 5mm lower seating position.The "new" is a "new".
I mean, where do you find all this stuff?
Riding the Porsche 992 again.
Then I had the opportunity to ride the 992 for the first time this year, and I tried to be aware of the seat position.Certainly, the seat position is easy to set.We felt we could have departed without spending time adjusting the seats.
In my case, my 992 is not a MT, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a "Can the clutch be depressed all the way to the back?"Does your knee hit the steering wheel when you let out the clutch?I think it is also significant that we do not have to worry about areas such as the following.
I am just under 160cm tall, but for men who are close to 180cm tall, or for larger people in Europe, America, etc., the low seat and high ceiling of the 992 may make it easier to get a good seat position.
I believe that if the seat position is comfortable, you can drive quickly, safely, and with less fatigue, and I was reminded that the latest Porsches have been improved in these areas.
Cars are really very deep in many ways.
