Following the 992-generation 911's launch we've seen coupe and cabriolet models come on the scene, but we've had to wait until now to see the new Targa body, and boy does it look good. It's got the wide roll hoop we know and love, plus the completely automatic roof system that was introduced with the 991 Targa model. It's been updated for the new …

Porsche’s New 992 GT3 Has Been Spotted Testing
Porsche does a lot of its new car testing in Italy at Monza, and even while the country remains a hotspot for coronavirus that hasn't changed. The new 992-generation GT3 and what appears to be a new GT3 Touring have been spotted turning laps at the legendary track. You can tell by the sound that these are no ordinary 992 models. The whoosh of the …

These days, it takes a ludicrous amount of thrust to get the desensitized public to drop its collective jaw. If the muscular 992 Turbo S and its 640-horsepower engine don't raise eyebrows, one must be reminded what the car represents. As a member of a small niche of vehicles somewhere between grand tourer and supercar, the 992 Turbo S deserves a …

The climb to the daily-drivable supercar has been a long one. While the Miura was nicely appointed, it was the later Maserati Bora that showed the world that a world-beating supercar could actually be a civilized machine. Porsche cemented that idea a few years later with the original Turbo Carreras of the mid-1970s, and ever since other models from …

Porsche has been tinkering with active aerodynamics for decades, adding driver-adjustable wings to race cars as long ago as the 1950s in the 550 Spyder era. Porsche was the first manufacturer employing it on a street car with automatically lowering suspension on the 1986 959 supercar to help reduce lift at speed. Even its most basic Porsche sports …

Compared to the 991 the 992's greatest growth was lateral. While all 911s are now (effectively) wide-bodies- even the haunches of a base Carrera don't taper towards the rear of the car as they did on 911s of old, the Turbo seems to take this to extremes. The front track is an astounding 42mm wider than its predecessor, and the rear is up 10mm from …

With each subsequent generation of 911 Turbo, Porsche has pushed the envelope of grand touring comfort and all-out supercar speed. The new 992 Turbo S is no exception, with a new 3.8-liter flat six with twin variable-turbine turbochargers pumping out a massive 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. That accounts for an increase of 60 horsepower …

The 992 already has the added girth and 993-esque light strip spanning the rear to make it a very pretty car. That said, the base models are still somewhat understated for something so capable, and that might leave some wanting for a slightly sportier shape. Before the GT-series variants of the 992 are released, there are a couple …

Few drivers have transcended to the level of living legend quite like Jacky Ickx. Over the course of a four-decade career, the Belgian made a mark in nearly every major category. Though Ickx won Le Mans with Ford in 1969 and spent several years driving F1 with Ferrari, perhaps his sportscar success with Porsche throughout the seventies and …
Continue to the full articleIs the 992 the best 911 thus far?
Porsche has long been a brand invested in evolution rather than revolution, though not all of their changes have immediately proven popular. When the much-loved (but admittedly slow-selling) 993 was replaced by the 996, fans balked. When the 991 moved to an all-turbocharged engine range in the non-GT models, fans clambored for the naturally …
