- The Car Diaries Epidsode 6 Porsche 992 C4S Review
Car of the moment! Car of the the year? The 2019 Porsche 992 Carrera 4S continues to cause quite the stir, upsetting the purists with its turbocharged power plant, confusing the fans with its turbo engine but no turbo badging, and exciting the drivers by providing even greater performance and every day usability! Today Craig takes a deeper look at a car which one way or another, will one day be defined as a classic.

The Porsche 992 is the internal designation for the eighth generation of the rear engine sports car produced by the German automobile manufacturer Porsche. It was officially introduced at the Porsche Experience Center, Los Angeles on November 27, 2018. It launched in European markets in early 2019.
The 992 uses rack-and-pinion steering and has a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The 992 has wide rear-wheel arches which will be a part of every model in the 992 lineage (a change only found on variants of the 911 previously) along with 19-inch wheels.
Compared to its predecessor, the 992 is 45 mm (1.8 in) wider and now uses aluminium body panels. The 992 also has a new rear bumper with larger exhaust tips than its predecessor. The front of the car is designed to mimic the appearance of an early 911 in a modern fashion. 992 models have electrical pop-out door handles, a retractable rear spoiler (for specific models only) and LED headlights. All models also feature a full-length rear light bar. The interior also has received significant changes including a straighter dashboard which harks back to the shape of the dash board used on the classic 911. The instrument cluster consists of two 7-inch digital displays and an analogue tachometer.
The engines have piezo injection, a revised intake system, and-in some markets under Euro-6 regulations-have engine particulate filters. The only available transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK).
Standard equipment includes a 10.9-inch display with Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and navigation system, and driver assistance systems including collision detection with braking intervention. A Wet Mode feature is also introduced on the 992 which uses acoustic sensors on the wheel wells to detect wet pavement and adjusts the stability control, the rear wing position, and gearbox responsiveness to keep the car stable.
Optional equipment includes adaptive cruise control, night vision, automatic parking, and sports suspension which lowers the car by 10 mm (0.4 in). A Sport Chrono package is also available on all models and features an overboost function that provides increased performance for 20 seconds. 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration times are decreased by 0.2 second.
The first models to debut in the 992 lineage were the Carrera S and Carrera 4S in November 2018, displayed at the 2018 LA Auto Show. Both of the models are powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine. The Carrera S and Carrera 4S Cabriolet followed in January 2019.

The Car Diaries .. why not show the car ...
Quality channel, awesome accent, subbed!👍-Mr STT
Why only focus on his face? Show the car more!
bob jones my exact sentiments!
Looks much better with the sport exterior package, than without!
it looks so good with SD
@@66vapor66 but standard makes the car look fat, making it more like a Beetle than a 911. Sport Design have managed to balance it, it gives the car more character.
not for $5K US... there are a dozen better places to spend that money
Does this one come with the sport side skirts as well?
Nice review and have to say the camera man has done a very professional job - good angles with nice backgrounds taken most of the time. Love to see more reviews from you guys. Good job done!
Sport Design exterior pack is a must
it looks so good
not for 5 grand US... there are a dozen better ways to spend that money
Nice review and taking the time to do the review. Good luck with the channel.
Neil Schneider thanks for your comment Neil, really appreciate the positivity! - Matt
Feedback - way too much camera time on the presenter rather than the car.
Thought I was the only one, what a waste of our time, We might as well have been reviewing him.
@@mphumelelizondo6525 i agree with you. Most of their videos are poorly filmed.
First class. I look forward to the next video. You are very knowledgeable and know you stuff. Camera guy is also first class.
Keep up the good work.
It's been a while since I have been in a super car 👍
Raymond Robertson thank you very much for your kind comment Raymond! Our next video will be live on Thursday at 3pm GMT - featuring a Lamborghini Huracan Performante! - Craig
The quality of your video is superb considering the sub count, best of luck to you mate!
Josh Fain thanks Josh, our channels growing quite quick tbf, we only had 100 subscribers last week!! But lots more to come, including filming the Ferrari Pista review on Friday! To be honest it’s all just a good excuse to drive other people’s epic cars - Matt
The Car Diaries glad to hear it. Couldn’t agree more, best job in the world!
Great car and very well presented.
The sports package makes the car look like the 991.2 and I definitely prefer the standard 992 exterior. Superb performance and updated interior. Looks proper.
Great review. And your accent is lovely to listen to. 😃👌🏻
Mate the only reason why I understand every word you have uttered in this video is because I am a Snooker Freak, and love watching and listening to the commentary of Alan McManus and other fellow Scotsmen. I’m an American from New Jersey and it’s crazy how frustrating it is for other people to even understand regular English people.
Why is the camera fixed on the presenter more than the car? First 5 minutes are of him describing the details.
Great car, love the colour and spec 👍 I’ve not considered the 992 but now I will! Great video.. subscribed 👍
Thanks Duncan, great to have you on board, and you’ll definitely not be disappointed with a 992. Go book in a test drive!
this review was really really nice
Thank you very much!
Greetings from Lithuania. Great review ;D
That's fucking beautiful
Great video. I subscribed.
Thanks Matt, our latest video went live today, and we should be filming our Ferrari 812 Superfast review on Tuesday (weather dependent...) so hopefully we’ll have more content for you to enjoy very soon!
This car is truly awesome, I would take this as a daily driver for sure.
Impressive content and quality
Sport Design should be the standard option for the 992. I always hated the plate sits too low on the rear bumper.
Looks like an impressive car for sure, but I really would expect a sports exhaust to be fitted on a sports car as standard!
992 911 gt3 manual touring .I am ready when it comes out.
Love the car and your accent!
Brilliant a car for all occasions Told me all i need to know before buying one,,, Cheers
You're most welcome Darren - thank you very much for taking the time to watch & comment. It's a fantastic all rounder that will always be sure to put a smile on your face.
Proper bit of kit
I still like the backend of the previous gen more. This gen with the previous gen rear tail lights would be perfect
job well done , great review !
Thank you very much - lots more exciting reviews coming in the next week or two!
Sport Design pkg looks great. Is that GT silver or Dolomite pls?
Hi Mark, its Dolomite, hope that helps.
great review...subscribed. love the Scottish accent.
If it's not said w a Scottish accent, it's CRAP! Love their accent.😀👍
Dunno why but the Scottish always seem to do the best reviews
Great video.... Great video quality..... Subscribed.... 👍
Thanks Claudio, we will be back soon with more car videos, just need to wait for the coronavirus situation to pass. Thanks again for subscribing!
The Sport rear bumper is really busy imo.
Love the Scottish accent haha :D
@Pedro Really? Insecure much??
Pity we could not see much of the car during the initial exterior description. 80% of the shots were of the presenter.
Please, why do a car review if the camera is mostly pointed on you rather than the car. Small tip.
Best sounding car from within?
570S/GT is full on super car , the 992 in this guise is GT car, u need to be in a Porsche GT3 /RS to match the driving experience of the McLaren. Currently own a McLaren and Porsche, nothing wrong with 992 C4S at all , they are not just not direct competitors.
992 4s does 0-60mph in 3.0 sec which is truly impressive considering the fact that theyre not comparable
Hi Mars , you can’t compare cars just because of a 0-60 mph time , or even the top speed, number of gears, seats etc etc , these don’t make make cars comparable.
What makes a car comparable or different from each other isn’t just the looks either , it’s the steering, the ride , handling the brake feel etc
Have a read of this months EVO, magazine , they review the Porsche’s 992 against a 570 GT, AM Vantage, Audi V10, Lotus Evora.
Porsche quote a 0-60mph 3.6 , if it can do 3.0 then great , however that doesn’t leave the Porsche turbo , turbo s much room to improve acceleration times over the 4S, when they eventually revive.
The turbo will need to crack 60 mph in 2.7 and the Turbo S 2.5,m approximately, if they can then that’s great 😁.
@@brentpowell7889 You think they will crack it lol..with ease mate the previous generation did..
They showed his face more than the car...
20 cm further forward? Surely 20 mm?
Hi James, no, its a full 20 centimetres forwards, so essentially almost a foot! Big difference to the driving balance, and appears to be something they have taken/learnt from the 991 RSR race cars which moved to a full on mid engine position with the motor mounted in front of the rear axle. Times are a'changing... - Matt
Engine is in the same position but the motor mount location has moved.
Copied from Road and Track magazine
“To better control the movement of the flat-six hanging behind the rear wheels, the 992 moves the engine mounts forward 6.6 inches. Previously, the mounts were at the very back of the engine. The new placement provides a stiffer link between the engine and transmission and holds the engine in place more firmly during quick transitions and high-g maneuvers. Passive mounts are standard; active mounts remain optional”
GT Silver or Dolomite Silver?
I came to watch the car but ended up watching someone talking about them. No point car “as you can see from the wide rear......” actually no I can’t!
We've taken note and improved our future videos to ensure there's lots more car in them!
What is the color code of this car?
That front end is optional....fyi.
Great vid! For all of us viewers in English speaking countries, sub-titles please!
Is the new 992 gen a 2019 or 2020 model year ?
is this the dolomite silver or the silver gt????
The sport exhaust sounds tremendous?... U lost me there...
Cameraman should focus on the car more instead of your face
Subtitles?
👍👍👍
And you parked it in douchebag mode (spolier up).
First car review with a scotish accent i see .obviysly cause im not native english speaker i understood half of what he said
Carrera 2s also had wide body. Just Carrera models had skinny body
Porsche needs to stop making the Porsche 911 Turbo, Cabriolet, and GT2. They should make a mid-engine car on the level of the 911 Turbo instead of these models.
"Welcome to episode sex"
Really unusual accent...are you Indian?
Sounds like a Scottish accent
I can not even understand what you saying :)
An egg is in his mouth
What language is he speaking?
Silver GT or dolomite ?
Dolomite
Yes, it's Dolomite Silver!
What?
Huh?
It sounds like a vacuum cleaner
Listen to it in real life. Sounds night and day differently than in videos
Less shots of you, more shots of the car. You can always speak in the background
Came for the car but saw more of the face, sorry
Haha, we're getting lots more of the car in our latest videos, so don't worry!
Way too expensive
Totally skipped leg day bro
면상말고 차를 보여줘
Waaaayyyyy to much unnecessary electronic nonsense on this car. The silly pop out door handles will be the first thing to stop working. Next will be the electric shaver transmission lever. The dopey dial on the steering wheel will go next. And fake exhaust tips? What's up with that Porsche. Even Mazda puts real dual exhaust tips on the Mazda3. Porsche could not even fix Nick Murray's Porsche twice. They had to do two buybacks because not even Porsche can fix a 911. Way to complicated.
Episode "Sex" of the car diaries. As an American, I couldn't understand a single thing this Brit was saying.
