    One thing you’re never short of with 911, is variants. And in 992 we already have quite a few, with the Carrera S, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S, Cabriolet, Targa, Targa heritage… and now the new GT3… Well, you get the idea! And it’s a similar story in the configurator too: with sports Chrono, PASM, Rear Steer, ceramics and a whole host of options that you can’t do without or the car wouldn’t be good enough, right?
    Enter the one that inevitably gets overlooked among these tempting choices, the base Carrera with low options. It’s the least powerful, interesting looking, it hurts our egos which make us want to jump to S at least… And on VS mode today it’s going up against a high specification Carrera 4S to show you the other end of the spectrum! So let the battle begin, to decide how good in reality is the entry level Carrera 911!
    For some general 992 background, it was headed by former head of GT product Frank Walliser, it was the Same basic size as the 991, with a wider front track, staggered wheels for the first time, almost all of the body is aluminium, active aero on the front, the turbocharged flat-six engine has been reworked - position is the same, but it’s mounted further along the the middle of the car closer to the centre of gravity, while reducing vibrations, VTG mirrored turbochargers, there is a completely new 8-speed dual-clutch PDK!
    I’ll also show you some of my favourite highlights like the flush door handles, the bonnet cuts from G model and 993, the light bar with the Porsche type inside it, and the secret 911 code on the rear grille!
    Then when it comes to models, you’re inundated with options.
    Carrera S gives us 444BHP, 530nm, and a 0-60 of 3.7 seconds. Get our 4S and that becomes 3.6 or faster.
    Then you can have a cabriolet of either, same power but slightly slower. Same with the gorgeous Targa, best looking of the bunch perhaps. Can go totally wild with the Heritage edition!
    Then the Turbo family. Standard turbo at 580PS, 2.7 seconds, Turbo S a maddening 650PS and 2.5 seconds. And finally, GT3. 510BHP, 4.0 natural engine, PDK or manual, no rear seats: and all the know how Weissach has!
    With all that, it’s easy to forget our friend the Base Carrera: with only 380BHP.
    So with a difference of 2k options vs 20k options, plus the power difference, how well with the basic 992 Carrera do?! Today we explore:
    - Full 992 911 Line up, Carrera, C2S, C4S, Cabriolet, Targa, Turbos, and New GT3 /Touring

    I have a 991.1 basic Carrera with no performance options. No pasm -20 mm , no sport Chrono, no PTV plus, small steel brakes, and standard exhaust. It's a car that a few years ago I would have immeditley written off. My m3 and Camaro 1LE had all kinds of similar equipment so they must be better. All the tech from those cars cannot overcome the fundemental better architecture of the 911. Even with no options it's so much more fun and rewarding to drive than basically any car I've ever driven. Even with an passive dampers and an open diff it gets better traction out of uneven tight hairpins than the m3 and Camaro 1le with their electronically locking diffs and magnetic ride control suspension.

    I got a base 2022 Carrera in aventurine green just a couple of weeks ago. I shopped around for quite a while, and I've been updating my configuration on the Porsche site for years now, so I knew what I was looking for. There simply weren't that many 2022 Carreras in the color and with the options I wanted anywhere in the entire U.S. - which is to say, none. I had wanted an S, but after watching multiple reviews of the S I decided to allow for a base 911. As it turned out I found one which matched very closely the specs I had in mind, so rather than wait upwards of two years for an allotment I pulled the trigger, and I'm very happy I did. This car is sublime! I think the biggest issue for anyone trying to decide between a base model and an S should be the transmission choice. Fortunately I wanted a PDK, so it worked out great for me.

    Raz - Thank you so much for posting such genuine content. I hate when car reviewers on UA-cam - such as carwow and Throttle House - show a bias towards one brand and illogical prejudice over others. Video like this one debunks the ever-present dilemma that people have when they are about to buy a sports car, and more often than not, get talked into buying expensive variants by dealerships. You have clearly put it out that one can really stick with a base 911 Carrera without going the route of unintentionally shelling out extra 36k pounds and getting the Carrera 4S. Thank you for the community service through this video.
    This actually seems like a great theme for future videos as well wherein you pick a good sports car and share your thoughts on exactly which variant(s) and options are good value. Because, really, there is no other way for many people (including myself) to know it otherwise. Let me give you an example, I live in America and was in the market for my first ever sports car about 3 year ago. I shortlisted Mustang, after eliminating Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro. I ended up buying the eco-boost variant (4 cyl turbo) and not the V8. This is because it felt like a clever way of owning a popular sports car without having to pay premium price that the V8 variant demanded. Furthermore, the horsepower eco-boost motor delivers seemed enough already that even thinking about the need for a V8 seemed like going over the board. I was extremely joyful for about 1-1.5 years until I realized the eco-boost motor has no emotion, character, or soul; and that's when I realized I made a big mistake. Although I was happy with the power and the ride quality, the lack of sound, emotion, rev-matching, etc. made me regret my decision almost every day. Knowing the V8 variant had all the goods I was actually looking for made me just want to go back in time and alter my decision, and hence, I started looking for time machine rentals :D. This kind of video prevents the need to look for a time machine by providing much-needed reliable information about variants and options upfront to potential buyers.

Such as the lift kit, sport chrono & sports exhaust, also since this is the most popular model & very unlikely to depreciate after a year depending where you (South Africa) I would assume that after 2 years these cars would be a lot more affordable & in greater demand? Just some of the things i guess prospective & future 911 owners who like to know? Thanks 👍🏼

      Prek…..Maybe I can help.
      I spent almost 3 years waiting for an allocation for a 911.
      When it finally came through, I had my choice between a C4S or a C2.
      I chose to get a C2 and option it with a few thousand difference…..mainly for about 60 more hp and a few tenth’s of a second to 60…..not exactly a live or death situation.
      And if it’s an ego thing to have an “s” behind Carrera, I already feel sorry for you.
      I had plenty of time to go over the configurator……many, many time.
      I probably fine tuned the build a minimum of 30 times…..but the 911 I took delivery of last month was more than worth it !
      Here are a few options for a base 911 that I believe you should consider.
      ( first of all, there is no lift option…and it’s not needed )
      Color and interior are very personal…..so I won’t spend time here…only to say I got an Agate Grey with Beige interior….and it’s stunning.
      Ok….options : Sports Chrono…..from your steering wheel you can choose 5 different drive settings, including an “Individual” mode that you can customize different settings just for you.
      Before I forget….it may sound insignificant, but there are many owners that missed a relatively inexpensive option they really regret……the extended range fuel tank ! You go from about 16 gallons to 23…..really nice on any road trip.

    • @unclebob4964
      @unclebob4964 Рік тому +2

      Adaptive Cruise Control. If you get in traffic, you’ll be thankful you got it.
      The seats are another area you’ll get a lot of different opinions. If you can go to the dealer and check out the multitude of options.
      I have 18 way in my Macan…..very nice…..but really wrap around you with the bolsters. Probably not for a generous size……Butt !
      I got the 14 way in the 911. They’re VERY comfortable….and so are some of the less expensive options….but here’s the deal….only the 14 and 18 ways have an extended thigh support….and THAT is really a nice comfort option.
      I did get the GT Sport steering wheel in leather….it’s nice, but not as critical as some of the above.
      I also got the light-weight, noise insulated glass. Not sure this is necessary.
      I’d driven an older 2016 or so “S” model that was absolutely obnoxiously loud….road noise. I was concerned. But as it turned out, I think it was a freak and this option was probably not necessary.
      I did do custom yellow seat belts and a yellow tach ring….looks great !
      I did a partial clear wrap that was a dealer condition upon delivery.
      It’s a very wise choice even without it being a condition…..and a bit expensive.
      But it’s protecting a very valuable investment.
      There may be a few more….but these are some you should really consider.
      And make the car “yours” with a few options you just might like “just because.”
      You’re going to pay for it…..but you won’t regret it for a moment.
      This BASE 911 absolutely blew me away……there is nothing else like it in the world.
      Period !

    I have a Turbo. I understand when people say less power is better sometimes. The turbos and above are sooooo fast that it's almost unusable anywhere but the track. Push the pedal down and you're immediately breaking the law whatever road you're on. Porsche Turbos feel like rockets when they spool.

    I have a 911S and am a demanding driver and racer on and weekends but would have to say the very big diff between the 911S and the regular 911 is worth the considerable money to get it especially on resale the 911S commands strong resale values. But the something like 75 hp. diff. between them seems a lot more in real life driving. The 911S is extraordinary fast with really effortless acceleration and low speed torque excellent.

    What would u consider a better investment? A base 992 or a 991.1 GTS- being one of the last (non gt3) NA 911s…thinking for the better price perhaps the 991.1 would hold value and be more fun to drive- however the 992 looks tempting indeed.

      Sports Chrono for sure along with the better seats and glass sunroof. I would skip the sports exhaust (doesn’t add hp) and have the tune delete the snap/crackle and auto stop. Tuners offer a PDK tweak as well.
