The Porsche 911 (992) Secret No One Is Talking About!

Yeah , what's up guys ?

Welcome back to the channel and welcome to the iconic 9 11 and right off the bat , we must address the title of this video , which is the fact that I wouldn't be driving a new 9 11 if it wasn't for the Porsche , Cayenne and Porsche .

Let me explain the Cayenne and Macca helped Porsche set new record sales and profits .

But the fact that they actually saved the company is not 100% accurate .

The car that actually did that is the boxer .

That's the 9 11 secret .

Nobody is really talking about .

You see back in the nineties , Porsche was quite literally on the brink of disaster .

Sales were prom and they needed something that will help them avoid the inevitable .

And since people were really into smaller sports cars at the time , Porsche decided it needed its own and that's how the Boxer was born , hard core fans didn't really like it at first .

But even so it quickly became a very popular road star and it allowed Porsche to dig itself out of the hole .

So it's pretty safe to say that without the boxer , I wouldn't be able to drive a new 9 11 .

Now , can you imagine a world without the 9 11 , no more of that 9000 R PM .

Red line G T three gone would be the super car that is the G T two and we would no longer get the fantastic game on G T four .

This is my all time favorite car .

And if I had all the money in the world available right now , the first car I'd go and buy would be a manual 9912 G T three .

The car I'm driving today is the Carrera s rear wheel drive version .

The most powerful 992 9 11 you can buy at the moment .

It's painted in this gorgeous , gentle and bloom tele color .

It rides on these beautiful Carrera classic wheels , 21 inch at the back , twenties at the front .

And among other , it features the new eight speed P D K transmission and the sport chrono pack that adds a few sportier details and makes the car slightly faster over the years .

This car has grown quite a lot .

So I guess it's kind of safe to say that this isn't really a light and nimble sports car .

You can definitely feel its size and its weight .

But thanks to that 450 horsepower engine at the back , this car is freaking fast .

It's got a three liter twin turbo flat six engine at the back .

It makes 450 horsepower , like I said , 530 Newton meters of torque and it can take this 1.5 ton 9 , 11 to 100 kilometers per hour from standstill in 3.5 seconds with the sport 3.5 seconds in a carrera s that's very close to what the Ferrari 458 Italia used to do back in the day , Supercar territory .

Now , based on the figures of this car .

Can you imagine what the new G T three or G T three R s can do ?

I have to say that .

I'm a bit disappointed with how the exhaust of this car sounds like it's pretty bland , to be honest with you , it makes pretty much the same noises as the boxer tea .

I drove a while ago , which is pretty funny actually .

But on the inside you get a lot more of the engine noise and just listen to how this car sounds like when you floor it , the 9929 11 has a new eight speed automatic P D K transmission .

And I simply don't have the right words to express you guys just how fast it shifts .

Watch this .

So look at this .

I'm cruising in eighth gear at around 1000 R PM and I'm just gonna give it a light tap on the just so you guys see how quick this gear box kicks down .

So 321 , it's in third year in under a second .

It's insane how fast it shifts and it's all very smooth .

You can't feel anything when it's doing those down shifts .

It's insane .

But if you put it in sport or sport plus mode and change gears yourself , you get a quick kick in the back of your head just to let you know that , hey , this is not just a comfortable cruiser .

I am a proper sports car .

One of my favorite things about all Porsches I've driven so far is the steering and the new 9 11 doesn't disappoint either .

It's perfectly weighted , sharp and precise and because of the smaller diameter and less thick steering wheel , you'll be able to grip it better .

You won't need too much steering lock to turn the car and that allows you to be more precise when driving the 9 11 as it should be driven .

The interior is absolutely gorgeous .

Just look at this .

It's pretty much what you would expect from a Porsche .

It's got very good quality materials , very good ergonomics and well , it's a really pleasant place to be in these seats .

They are the 18 ways adjustable sport seats and , well , I just love everything about this cabin .

But what I wanna show you is the new stuff that Porsche introduced , for example , for people who said that this car isn't really practical .

Well , look at this Porsche just fitted a miniature shaving machine right over here on the center console .

Look at that pretty practical .

Right .

Not a lot of cars have this , but joking aside , let me walk you through this part over here , which I think is the most interesting .

Now , obviously they've kept pretty much the original layout of the dials , but out of all five dials that you see in front only the rev counter is an analog dial .

The rest of them are digital , the two screens that you have on the left , one showing the temperature and the clock and the other one is the speedometer on the right .

However , these two dials , they are actually one screen and if you scroll through the available information you can see on them , there's a miniature map right behind the steering wheel .

Isn't that cool ?

And another thing I want to quickly show you on the new 9 11 is these three new buttons over here .

There's one on the steering wheel and two right there below the infotainment screen .

These are basically shortcuts to various functions that the car has , which you can configure yourself .

And what I've done is because the 9 11 doesn't have the exhaust button anymore .

I've programmed that this button on the steering wheel will activate the sports exhaust for me .

And then the other two butters , the first one I set it to show me the home screen of the infotainment system and the second one turns in on and off to match that lovely interior you need a comfortable and refined car and that's when the suspension of the 992 comes into play .

It's excellent and nothing upsets it , potholes , cracks in the asphalt , uneven surfaces .

It handles them beautifully .

Even in sport plus mode .

I'm always amazed by how Porsche's engineers manage to set up these cars .

They right this firm don't get me wrong , but it's very supple the way this car handles , corners is something else .

It's flat through the bed , it's got tons of grip and very little understeer .

And the balance is so good that you can only tell this car has a rear mounted engine when you take it to the very limit .

And I just love the perseverance , of course , as engineers , I mean , in today's world , most manufacturers gave up on this rear engine layout , but Porsche stuck with it , perfected it and made it a signature of one of the most iconic sports cars in the world .

There's not a lot of bad things you can say about this car .

I personally don't really like the front because if you want to open it , you either have to open the door and press a button or you have to have the car's key with you all the time .

And then you have that storage right behind the back seats , which is quite good in a car that doesn't really have a lot of luggage space , but you can't really access it without folding the front seats and going through the car .

I wish the car would have a hatchback there so you can access it easily .

Let me see what else ?

Not much .

Actually , it's pretty freaking perfect in my eyes and it really has to be considering the amount of money you have to pay for one .

But that's been it for this video .

My friends .

I really hope you've enjoyed it .

Please give it a thumbs up if you have .

Thank you , Portia Sweden for lending me this new 9 11 .

Thank you guys for watching and until next time , take good care of yourself and I'll see you around .
