992 Porsche 911 Turbo Review: The Appeal of “Nothing Added, Nothing Taken Away”

A superbly equipped 911 with nearly $50,000 in options The 992-generation 911 Turbo I drove was, in every sense, loaded with options. It had nearly $50,000 worth of extras, with a sophisticated interior and exterior pairing of Crayon and Slate Grey. The highlights included a sunroof, sports exhaust, 21-inch 911 Turbo Exclusive Design wheels, black Matrix LED headlights, and Exclusive Design taillights—a specification that looked every bit as premium as it felt. Inside, it was...

Porsche 911 Carrera T (992.2) Review: How It Compares with the 992.1

The Evolved Carrera T: Exterior and Interior Changes I had the chance to drive the Porsche 911 Carrera T in its updated 992.2 form, and I was also able to drive the earlier 992.1 model back to back.

Starting with the exterior, it’s hard to spot the difference between the 992.1 and 992.2 at...

One Month with the Fairlady Z NISMO (RZ34): How It Compares with Porsche

Now that it’s been a month since my Fairlady Z was delivered, I wanted to share my impressions after finally taking it for a proper drive again. To be honest, I’d been so captivated by the Taycan Turbo GT, delivered around the same time, that I hadn’t had many opportunities to drive the Z. This time, I’ll compare it with the 992 and 718 Cayman, looking at everything from engine character and driving feel to...

How to Choose a Pre-Facelift Porsche 911 (992): A Guide to Comparing Every Trim

Introduction: The Used Market for Pre-Facelift 992 Models The used market for pre-facelift Porsche 911s (992 generation) is thriving.
