The Base Model 911 Might Be The One To Buy

12/21/202012:59 estFiled to: 992By: Bradley BrownellComment

Since at least the launch of the 991, I've had the impression that the best Porsche for the average Porsche owner to buy is a base model 911 with sport seats, maybe a nice color paint, and no other options whatsoever. As the 911 becomes more and more competent with each successive generation delivering more power, more grip, and more comfort, it's …

Track Test: McLaren 570S Vs. 992 Carrera 4S

10/21/20209:21 estFiled to: 992By: Tommy ParryComment

A battle between BTCC's bad boy Jason Plato and ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok again solidifies the simple truth that a garden-variety Porsche can punch well above its weight. Half the price, heavier, less powerful, and arguably less track-oriented, and yet the Porsche 992 Carrera 4S still performs startlingly well against a McLaren 570S around Castle …

How Does A Porsche 911 Carrera S Hold Up In A Drag Race Against A Chevy Corvette and a Toyota Supra?

9/15/202012:25 estFiled to: 992By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

This is a lineup that should draw gearheads of all stripes. The Porsche Carrera and the Chevrolet Corvette are forever compared as they're probably the best value vehicles at their price point. The latest version of Toyota's Supra joins the fray with power similar to the Porsche's and a price not far off the Chevrolet's. The best of the mid-tier …

Is The Most Basic Porsche 992 The One To Get?

9/9/20208:18 estFiled to: 992By: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

So, you've decided to buy a new Porsche. Good for you! But given all of the incredible choices available on the Porsche dealership lot these days, how are you possibly going to pick one? Might we suggest a bare-bones stripped down 992 Carrera? Over the last handful of generations, the bigger and more Grand Touring the Porsche lineup becomes, the …

Going Through the Carrera GT with a Fine-Tooth Comb

6/17/20208:21 estFiled to: Porsche Carrera GTBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

For all of Doug DeMuro's fastidiousness, he appreciates the bolder bits of an analog sports car. Perhaps nothing best deserves that title in recent years than the Carrera GT. It's killed actors, struck fear in the hearts of stoic journalists, and rightfully earned a place on the Mt. Olympus of supercars. It's also the last of a breed, sadly, as …

The Dean Jeffries 356 Carrera Is The Weird-Looking Grandfather Of The Outlaw

5/26/202012:47 estFiled to: Porsche 356By: Bradley BrownellComment

1950s Los Angeles was an incredible time and place for car culture. With inspiration from hot rod culture, kustom culture, and European imports, the body workers of the area were crafting some truly incredible one-off masterpieces. Having worked with George Barris, Dean Jeffries got his start in the industry doing custom car work, which eventually …

This 993 GT2 Replica is the epitome of a modern classic Porsche

3/9/202011:51 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

https://youtu.be/Rf34n2rxzUI When Porsche opted for water cooling in the late nineties, many were affronted. Some would go on to enjoy the merits of this technology then and there, but there's no denying that with the 996 Carrera, the styling, size, and feel of the car had changed in an uncomfortable sort of way. Gone were the tiny windscreens, …

992 Carrera Versus Cayman GT4: Which Would You Take?

1/23/202010:17 estFiled to: 992, Porsche CaymanBy: Tommy Parry3 Comments

Dan Prosser might be one of the best spoken and most technically savvy journalists in the biz, and he can drive as well as any of them. He doesn't begin this particular video with a very intriguing premise, however, since we can easily surmise the 992 Carrera is the better everyday car, and the Cayman GT4 is a wildchild for the weekend. When the …

Here Are All Of The Quirks and Features of the 992-Generation Carrera

10/12/201912:00 estFiled to: 992By: Chris Cushing2 Comments

We all know that the 911 has grown a lot, but seeing Doug DeMuro next to this Lizard Green 992 has really cemented just how much. All 992s are now "widebody" cars, and as a result a base Carrera is a whopping 72.9" wide. That's 4.5" wider than a 993 (though perhaps about the same as a Carrera RS), or 3.2" wider than a 996. It's a full 10" longer …

Hillclimb Duel: 997 GT3 Cup Dices With an 800-HP ’88 Carrera

6/22/201912:56 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Comparing Rupert Schwaiger's 800-horsepower Carrera to a 997 GT3 Cup is the stuff racing geeks lose sleep over. In the green corner, Schwaiger's machine makes twice the power and weighs less, but it doesn't benefit from the silky smooth power delivery of the Cup Car. As we see here, power and weight are important, but how that power and weight are …
