What’s new in the 8th gen 911:
Engine:
450hp / 530nm comes from an updated twin turbo 3L flat six and bigger turbos boosting at an increased 1.2 bar passing through a new intercooler.
Transmission:
New 8 speed PDK box is even faster than before, has 1 more gear than previous 7 speed PDK. The new box allows the 992 to achieve its 306kmh top speed in 6th gear alone. While the extra gears allows for better ratio spread for increased throttle response or efficiency.
Body:
No more narrow body C2 or widebody C4 now, They all get the widebody, including the entry Carrera 2S which will share its wider shell with the 4WD 4S from the 992 gen onwards.
Inside:
Porsche has taken the retro route by reintroducing a modernised version of the original 911 cockpit via new, flat paned, blocky dashboard complete with retro switches. There’s also a new gear spector knob, which looks to be inspired by a USB flash drive.
Front:
Bigger and more distinct air intake opening on the front bumper and new LED projector headlights are adaptive with 84 individual LEDs and has revised 4 point LED DRLs.
Rear:
This is where the biggest changes reside, a single LED bar runs across the rear, acting as the 992’s new taillights. There’s a new third brake light too, in the form of dual vertical lines.
Price:
Carrera S: RM1.15M
Carerra 4S: RM1.22M
Includes: 4 year warranty, free maintenance including parts and labour
Given an empty chequebook, we would all like to fill our ride’s mods list with the best JDM hardware the Yen can buy. Of course, for the majority of us, the crunching hammer blow of reality is more often than not thundering enough to bring us back to reality where bank balances don’t always balance out with buckets of boost we intend to run...
