It's been about a year and a half since I bought the new Porsche 911 and 992 Carrera Cabriolet.
Since then, I have run more than 8000km including touring, city riding, commuting, and circuits. Very easy to useIn particular, the 992's usability and comfort in the city, commuting, and shopping scenes exceed that of its predecessor, 991.I feel that this is a good thing.
Also, I am amazed at the performance at the limit on the 992 circuit.
Great road holding performance, strong torque feeling, and natural steering response are very fun to drive. Even from the experience of riding the 991.2 GT3, the combat power of the 992 is very high,I even think that the more amateurs are, the faster the 992 can run.
On the other hand, when it comes to touring, mountain passes, and winding, the sensual and emotional 991.1 is personally more fun, and when it comes to long-distance touring, the 992's turn is inevitably less. ..
Such a 992 type, but this timeI had the opportunity to test drive the latest MY (model year) 2022 type basic 911 Carrera.I haven't tried high revs this time because the car has just been delivered and the break-in has not been completed.
So, for the feeling at high speed and high rotation, please refer to the review article of 992 in my house.
The individual colored in GT Silver Metallic is very cool.The color GT Silver was originally set from the Carrera GT.And it's a silver with a strong metallic feel, and it's my favorite silver more than any car's silver.
The wheels are optional black painted Carrera S wheels. Wearing 20/21 inches in the front and back, it looks great with silver. "911" logo on the rear. The interior is black and the seats are covered with Sports Seat Plus.
This is exactly what Simple is Best is all about.
Just sitting in the driver's seatIf this is the case, you will be able to ride as a companion for a long time without getting bored.It is an individual with a strong atmosphere that makes you think.
The seat is thicker than the normal seat, so it feels comfortable to ride. Besides, the side support of the seat is just right.
When you start the engine, the cold start makes a lot of noise.Although it is an individual equipped with a sports exhaust, the volume is almost the same as the normal exhaust 992 without GPF in my house.
Blog readers say that MY2021 and 2022 992 are very quiet, but this Carrera is not at least "quiet".It's an ordinary brave exhaust sound.Certainly, when idling is stable, it becomes quiet, but when you start running, it wraps around the inside of the car with a nice exhaust sound and mechanical noise.
No matter how you think about it, it's not the expression "quiet".
Certainly, GPF should be attached from around this year, but I thought that it was quite brave, and when I looked into the lower part,Apparently this doesn't seem to have a GPF.It's just a visual judgment, but as far as I check overseas materials, it seems that there is no GPF when it comes to this MY2022 911 Carrera.

In light of the above illustration, it seems that GPF is not attached.
Even when the sports exhaust is actually turned off, it makes a good sound as it is, and when it is turned on, the bubbling sound becomes louder, which gives a very sporty impression.
By the way, compared to our normal exhaust 992,The sound quality and volume are almost the same when the start sound and sports exhaust are off. When turned on, the sports exhaust is a little quieter and the bubbling is more flashy.Feeling.
For handling,The feeling at the beginning of turning the steering is sharper than the cabriolet.The coupe is more responsive for about half a beat, with the feeling of turning your head to the inn. In the case of 992, it seems that the difference between the cabriolet and the coupe is much smaller than before the predecessor, but when compared directly like this, it seems that there is a slight difference.
After turning the steering wheel and entering the turning state, the coupe and cabriolet do not feel much different from here. Turn the curve in a very stable state. I think there are about 992 cars that have such a strong sense of security in the middle of the curve.
There are other cars that bend more solidly without rolling,The 992 is the strongest in the sense of "security" that comes from the feeling that the car is in the driver's hands.
Nothing happens even if I increase the pace a little. There are some electronic controls that control it well behind the scenes, but this kind of setting is the best way to drive fast and comfortably on ordinary roads. You can concentrate on driving without worrying about strange things.
As mentioned above, the engine is not running this time,After all the original 3.0 turbo engine is the best.There is really little turbo lag. The 450ps S engine is extremely fast if it is turned to high rpm, but when driving from low rpm to medium rpm, the response comes with a delay of one beat, so it feels jerky.
For example, if you step on the accelerator from about 50 km fixed at 3rd speed, it is obvious that the engine of the original Carrera comes out quickly, but S seems to accelerate after a delay of about 1 second. ..
Therefore, theWe strongly recommend the plain Carrera in the city with many stop and go in Japan and in the so-called mountain pass winding.Do.
On the other hand, S is good for those who want to drive in the overtaking lane of the Shin Tomei Expressway and those who place importance on the feeling of acceleration when it is a straight line.
Next, regarding ride comfort, this time the Carrera is a 20/21 inch Carrera S wheel. On the other hand, my Carrera Cabriolet is a 19/20 inch Carrera wheel.
In that comparison,The 20/21 inch didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.
Rather, the 20/21 inch feels more moist due to its moderate weight. On the other hand, the 19/20 inch is better for the light feeling that the spring is light.
The undercarriage of the 992 has a higher spring rate numerically than its predecessor, making it stiffer. Comparing this with the 991 generation, I feel that the expression of a very stiff undercarriage is appropriate.
Therefore, on a normal road surface, the tires have a good rolling feeling and a feeling of ground contact, and although it is hard, it feels good to ride. On the other hand, it is also a fact that the feeling of being shaken from side to side is stronger than that of the predecessor on the road surface where there is a difference in height between the left and right and where there are large irregularities.
After driving, I really liked this coupe's 992 Carrera. The specifications are simple and I like it, but more than that, the ride and handling are excellent, and the movement that spices up the cabriolet's athletic performance is very fresh.
If you are not aIf I buy another 992, I would definitely buy a GT Silver Coupe Base Carrera, or a Base Carrera 4.It was a test drive that reconfirmed the beauty of this car and the good performance of the basic Carrera.
