My husband buys and reads every magazine that has a Porsche he is interested in. When he was considering the purchase of an air-cooled 911, he ordered a magazine from the time the 964 was released and looked at it every day, and recently he has been looking at the 911 GT3(991.2)Maybe because I'm waiting for delivery, I often look at magazines that feature the 991.
Then, the other day, on the desk in my husband's study, I saw aIssue 75 of 911DAYS.I found a "Mere Old Man" placed on the floor.
The new 992 is out at this time.991 is interesting."What a great title! ."The latest Porsche is the best Porsche.Although it is often said that the 991 was the first generation of the 991, it still had a naturally aspirated engine, and I am sure that many people prefer the 991 in every sense of the word.
I took a quick look inside.It's amazing how much information the magazine publishes each time. I wonder how many people are involved in the production of this magazine...I was impressed in a way that had nothing to do with 911. As I was flipping through the pages with this thought in mind, an interesting title caught my eye.
"What was not in 992 and was in 991."
Subtitle.The 991 is interesting; it has the 911 character that the 991 has.".
Very interesting indeed...! So, I would like to share some of my thoughts on this article and its contents.
The 992 was the first 911 to introduce an 8-speed PDKHowever, with a multistage transmission, especially in daily driving where there is not much change in speed, "theShift change made.The driver's impression is that the car lacks a real "feel" and a sense of driving crispness.
Because the gear ratios are so finely tuned, the difference in engine speed before and after shifting is negligible.The change in engine sound is also not that noticeable.If the AT has this feeling, the 992 MT will(It was written that it would inherit the 7-speed instead of the 8-speed)What kind of driving will it be like?
The 992's PDK is now an 8-speed."Fuel Economy Improvement" and "Future hybridization"It is said that the purpose of this project is significant. In fact, the engine speed during 100 km/h cruising is said to be only about 1400 rpm.
."With the relatively powerful 991 model, city driving is monotonous.I see a lot of reviews saying that 992 feels more monotonous than that.
My current Panamera Turbo also has an 8-speed PDK, but it maintains almost 1000 rpm in city driving, and the gears quickly go into 6th and 7th gear. Given that, I still think the 992 is the way to go."Sport Chrono PackageI wonder if it would be more fun to keep the ".
The body size of the 992 Carrera S is larger than that of the 911 of old.Overall length: 4,519 mm x overall width: 1,852 mm x overall height: 1,300 mm991(European notation)Compared to the previous model, the new model is said to be 28 mm longer, 44 mm wider, and 5 mm taller.
You may be thinking, "What, just a little bit?" But the body size of the 964, built about 30 years ago, wasOverall length: 4,245 mm x overall width: 1,660 mm x overall height: 1,310 mmSo, compared to that, the 992 is "about 30 cm in length and 20 cm in width" larger. When I think about it, the 911 has become very large over the years.
Also, 992 is aSide panels changed from steel to aluminumThe new seats and the newly designed seats also reduce the weight by 3 kg, but the vehicle weight has increased due to significantly enhanced assistance functions for the driver.
The article states.991 to 992 is less impactful than when going from 997 to 991.It says, "The
The 991 was lighter than the 997, and its body was even stronger. And the actual driving taste was also more nimble than that of the 997, which everyone could feel. Without a doubt, it is one of the masterpiece models among the 911s.
It was rated as one of the best in the world. Well, although the 930 is known as the last air-cooled model, it is nowThe first half of the 991 was the last NA for the 911(Models with naturally aspirated engines)Modeled after.I guess that's why.(except for the GT series, etc.)
However, when it came time to test drive the 992, "What the hell! What a great looking car!I'm sure you will be thrilled with it, and that's what makes Porsche so great. I wonder when we will be able to test drive the 992 in Japan, I am looking forward to it.
By the way, here is issue 75 of this issue of 911DAYS.
