Has the new Porsche 911 (992 model) become a passenger car? A Porsche Driver's View
Published on: 2021.01.18
About Porsche 911 (Type 992)
When test drives of the current 911 (992 model) began, "The 992 model was easy to drive and like a passenger car."992 is not funny.I sometimes saw some not-so-good reviews such as "I'm not a big fan of this kind of thing.
Is this really the case?
The first time a couple of us were allowed to test drive a 992, the test car was a 911 Carrera 4S, and it was indeed easy to drive, comfortable, and very easy to drive. It was too graceful to be too much of a "Passenger car-like and uninteresting.I wonder if they might say, "I'm not a fan of that.
It's been four months since the 992 911 Cabriolet arrived at our house last September 2020, and I'd like to write about my thoughts on whether the 992 has really become just another passenger car....
A Porsche driver's husband's view
As I have written again and again on this blog, the performance of the 992 is tremendous. And in conclusion.The 992 is unquestionably a super high performance sports car.
Although the ease of driving is certainly noticeable only on a test drive in a busy urban area, once you drive on a mountain pass or highway, you will be surprised at the performance of the car.
My husband used to
Not the Milk Boy's Conflake Nutrients stuff.992 has a good balance of pentagons, yet the pentagons are quite large.I think.
GT3, on the other hand, seems to have certain items that stand out and are easy to identify.
The 992 has a good balance of all items.A car where everything is so well made that it is difficult to identify its features.Maybe it's called.
I would say something like that. Indeed...
If I were to use a 5-point scale from my school days, it would be like 981 getting a "5″ in "Music" and "Art" but a "3″ in "Math", or 991GT3 getting a "5″ in "PE" and "Physics" but a "2″ in "Japanese", but 992 getting a "4″ or "5″ in "Japanese", "World History/Japanese History", and "Physical Education". 2″, but the 992 GT3 has grades of "4″ or "5″ in "Japanese", "World History", "Japanese History", and "Physical Education", etc.(I'm not sure I understand the analogy.)
My husband, who has driven the 992 on winding roads and circuits, says, "It's a great car.
The 992 is an ultra-high performance sports car and an all-around carI think that the two situations are the complete opposite of each other. I think that the everyday use and the circuit are the opposite of each other, but they are both very effective in both situations.
It's the most tolerant Porsche I've driven.If I had to keep one of anything, I'd even keep the 992.I'm not sure.
He said.
It is easy to drive in town with plenty of low-speed torque, and the engine sound is audible even at low rpm. That is why it is fun to drive in town.
And if you take it to the winding road, you'll find that the "What precise handling!I can't help but roll my eyes and my tongue. When you taste the control of this wonderful PDK, "Don't you need a MT?I'm so entertained by it that I think, "What the heck is this?
And the circuit, surprisingly high potential and easy to handle. "What the heck?" he said.Concentrate on operating the car with stability, drivability, and nostalgiaCan be done.
Even though it was a battle between amateurs, I could usually outrun GT3s in the corners and drive at times that surprised even me. What's moreEven though our 911 is a cabriolet..
Indeed, it is hard to find a car that can drive so well and be fun in any situation.
Her husband continued.
."992 is not funny.I really don't understand why some people say that.
Of course, it may be a matter of taste, and some people may judge it based on a short test drive around town, but when you own one and drive it in various situations, including on a circuit, you can see that it is truly a well-made, wonderful car.
If it was this awesome already.You're not on the level of the old 911's.I think.
By the way, Masataka Matsutoya of Car Graphic TV once praised the 992 Carrera. He said, "I had prepared negative comments before I test drove the car based only on preliminary information, but when I actually drove it, I was troubled by how nice the car was!He said it like, "I'm not a good person." (Laughs.)
I'm sure GT3 is going to be a big deal since it's so amazing on its own.
He said.

>I think the goal of development is always the old 911, not a competitor's car. There are some air-cooled Porsche owners who say, "After water-cooling, the modern Porsche is not a Porsche," so I think there is a desire to create a 911 that these people would approve of.
Nice to meet you. I always enjoy reading your articles.
I have been playing with a 993 early season 6MT for 8 years now.
I am one of those air-cooled drivers who stopped going to the dealer at some point after seeing the increasingly comfortable 911s, but after seeing your husband's impressions, I want to try the 992. The meter design and body panels are both designed with air-cooling in mind, and I feel it would be disrespectful to the developers to make assumptions before I even drive it.

Thank you for visiting our blog.
>It has been 8 years since I started playing with my early 993 6MT.
Oh yes! Looks like a lot of fun...!
I imagine that after 8 years of ownership, the flavor must have deepened even more.
992, please take a test drive.
I say to my husband, "Of course, air-cooling has its advantages.
The old, old cell phones are nice and tasteful and easy to use, but the performance of the latest iPhones is like a crazy amazing thing.
If you're interested in the latest technology, I think you'll have a lot of fun.
He said!
It is nice to meet you. I always look forward to your updates.
I am particularly interested in 992 and would appreciate any useful information.
I am afraid this has nothing to do with this article, but I would like to ask a question.
How do you feel about the impact of the 992 stepping stones? How do you feel about it?
Also, I saw the article about the GT3 having protection film, has it been applied to the 992 Carrera Cabriolet?
If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Nice to meet you and thank you for visiting our blog.
How do you feel about the impact of the >992 stepping stones? How do you feel about it?
I asked my husband about the 992 stepping stones.
So far, I haven't had any stepping stones. And the 992 is not a car I bought with the intention of driving it for the rest of my life.
I thought maybe someday I'd let it go... so I didn't put any protection film on it."
He said.
(He bought the GT3 because he was ready for it to last a lifetime, so he put a film on it.)
Sorry, I hope this is the right response....
Hello.
Thank you for your reply.
It doesn't seem to get many stepping stones.
The film seemed to be a thought for the car, which made sense.
I look forward to more blog updates from you!
I have been enjoying reading your blog since the other day, but I was wondering if it is possible to set it so that when you return to a past blog, you do not return to the most recent page in the blog list, but instead return to the page in the blog list where you were at the time you read it.
I have never heard of this website before and would love to read many of the fun past articles, but I keep going back to the latest list every time, so I have not been able to read through them.
I would appreciate it if you could make your past blogs easier to read.
Also, reading the article here made me want to go to Ashiu once, even though it is a bit far.
I used to go MTB riding in the mountains again....
I look forward to meeting you.

Thank you for visiting our blog.
And thank you so much for taking the time to read our past articles!
>If possible, could it be possible to set it so that when you go back to read a past blog, you don't go back to the latest blog list, but instead go back to the blog list page you were on at the time you read it?
Sorry for the complication...!
If you press the home button or the title of "Porsche Came to Our House," it will take you back to the most recent list.
If you are on a computer, press the back button "←" that appears at the top of the computer screen, or
If you are on a cell phone, you can return to the previous list by pressing "<" at the bottom of the screen.
(Oh, I see. When you open a blog post, if you select "Open in New Tab," you can read through the various posts without changing the previous list screen.)
Ashiyari, please visit us if you have a chance ^^.
My husband goes on Sunday mornings when the weather is nice and there seems to be a lot of sports cars there every week.
We look forward to continuing to work with you!
Thanks for the reply.
Is it just my environment?
No matter which browser I use, firefox.edge.Crome, if I jump to the first 37 pages of the list of new blogs, look at the post, and then press "Back ←", it takes me back to the " 1" page of the list of new posts.
For the time being, I will view the link in "Open Link in New Tab".
Thank you very much.

I'm sorry...I don't know why...
Thank you for your time and effort, and for reading my past articles!
Thank you for your continued support.
Nice to meet you, I've been researching 911's for about 2 months now and came across this blog and ordered my first Porsche, a 992 Carrera in Aventurine Green Metallic. I'm waiting for the production quota to be decided, but it looks like it will be in May. I also found your information on how to choose options very helpful. I'm learning a lot! Please keep up the good work.
Mr. Tak Kite
Nice to meet you and thank you for your comment!
>I ordered a 992 Carrera in Aventurine Green Metallic, which will be my first Porsche.
Oh yes!!! Congratulations!!!
Can't wait very much now!
I am glad this blog has been of some help.
Thank you for your continued support ^^.
Nice to meet you. When I was struggling with specifying a 992 Cabriolet 4S, I saw this blog and used it as a reference, or even a copycat.
The car will be delivered next week, and my wife gave me her permission to buy it right away thanks to my decision to choose Aventurine Green Metallic for the exterior color and Two-tone Leather, Black Mojave Beige for the interior color (lol).
Also, when I was driving the 981 Boxster GTS, I think I took lessons with the master in the group with him at the 2016 and 2017 PDE. Maybe...
Anyway, looking forward to more of your blogs in the future!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Congratulations!
You are a fellow aventurine green ^^^!
It is a calm 911, chic, and will never get old.
I tell my husband.
I'd love to have a 911 Cabriolet 4S! I want one too!"
He said enviously (laugh).
>I believe you and your husband took lessons in the same group together at the 2016 and 2017 PDE when you were driving the 981 Boxster GTS again.
Er, yes! We have so many things in common.
If we meet again somewhere, please let us know.

They had commercials like this one.

Thank you!
Thank you for the information.
I see...! It's not easy to fight against yourself... to surpass your past self.
I thought again how cool it was.
Thank you!
Problem solving in engineering is mostly about substantive problem solving, not comparisons with others, so I think Porsche's philosophy is roughly like this
It is a saga of the science brain that, whether designing a car or driving a car, we have to think about how to analyze the entity and how to approach it by what means, and how to make the best of the situation.
Solving our own problems is getting over ourselves, but I think the worst thing we can do is to look below ourselves and forget our own problems.
Manufacturing is a science and technology that confronts entities, but market domination is about crushing competitors, so the management principles are absolutely different from company to company!
It is only natural that a company that is only interested in market domination and crushing competitors cannot make interesting cars.

I see...I thought that manufacturing is really deep.
>It is only natural that a company that is only interested in market domination and crushing competitors cannot make interesting cars.
Indeed...! The company's philosophy is reflected in its manufacturing!
I'm learning...!
I would like to learn from his attitude of not wavering, sticking to his guns, and going beyond himself to make things even better.
