Mat has got his hands on the all-new 992.2 generation Porsche 911!
He’s flown over to Spain to put the all-new 911 through its paces, and while it may only be a mid-life facelift, there are a handful of updates which will set it apart from its predecessors.
For starters, this is the first Porsche 911 to come with hybrid technology included! It may only feature in the GTS T-hybrid edition for now, but it easily delivers a serious performance punch for this new sports car! It’s equipped with a 3.6-litre flat-six turbo that can put down 541hp and 570Nm - 61hp & 40Nm more than its predecessor!
As for how the hybrid system works? Well, you’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
In terms of other changes, the exterior is relatively similar to the previous car. The indicators are now integrated into the headlights, and there are fins within the front bumper that can open and close to allow for better airflow for cooling. The side profile is pretty much identical to the previous edition, while at the back you’ll find centrally mounted exhaust pipes, along with a redesigned light bar.
Step inside and the interior is classic Porsche, although there’s one big change - the driver's display is now fully digital! It’s the first time the 911 doesn’t have an analogue rev counter, but it’s not all bad - there are loads of displays to choose from, and the positioning of the display means the steering wheel shouldn’t block your view.
Here’s the thing though - it doesn’t come cheap! If you want to pick up the hybrid edition of the GTS, expect to spend £139,000! And that’s before you’ve added any options! So is it worth it? Mat’s about to find out…

I had the pleasure of meeting Matt with my son yesterday at the Porsche stand at the supercar paddock in Goodwood ( Festival of speed). I am happy to state his real life 'happy go lucky' persona is exactly as his CZcams persona; spending 15-20 minutes 'shooting the shit' with us about Porsche, no buttons in cars, tracks around the world and even his drag race videos. So to the ' Brummy from Walsall' thank you for you time and keep doing the superb job you do, well done buddy.
Matt, it's midnight...
In Brazil it's 19:08
It’s 3:15 pm for me
embargo time for Germany probably?
It’s 8:16am for me!
6:00 pm for meeeee ! I think it is good
Didn't expect Porsche to get rid of their paddle starter. It really was something unique. Also the design compared to the last generation is a lil weird. Can't argue about the performance tho.
Oh yeah cry about it mate
@@Robwra320 ?
@@Robwra320 Lmao what
@@Huhuh404He is right. Cry about it. It's just a button. You can't afford this car anyways. It wasn't designed with you in mind.
@@N1ckZ Lol tf are you talkin about? just cuz i can't afford it i shouldn't be criticizing em for getting rid of what people like? and why would i cry lol? guess you the one crying cuz the only place you can drive these cars is in video games. get a life lmao
What is worse than them getting rid of the paddle starter is that they used something that looks like it came out of a $15,000 economy car. They couldn't be bothered to give us a sporty-looking start button, and the buttons themselves were absolutely pulled from a budget vehicle.
Looks VW Jetta
Oh no, the horror! They used a button to start the car like any other car on the market?!?! A button which you would only use twice every time you get in the car? How dare they?
Who cares it's only a button, you don't buy a GTS for that reason
@@N1ckZyeah it isn’t that big of a deal. But a paddle starter does add to the experience of a driving a sports car. Sports cars are all about drama, experience, thrills and speed.

What's more surprising is they aren't using an Occulus or HTC Vive, those have been out far longer and support PCs with decent graphics cards lol.
@@woobilicious.because it’s AR and nothing even comes close to touching the Vision Pro for AR.
Also it’s a bit more luxurious to not have a huge tower and cabling.
It’s death by one thousand cuts with Porsche. The 991.2 was peak 911.
Agree
Manual coupe 2wd GTS
We could have this argument all day and night! Some say it’s the 991.1 or the 997.2 or the 993! Some say air-cooled, some say water-cooled and some normally aspirated and others turbo charged. There is no real right answer as it depends on what you’re looking for from a 911 and it is so many things to so many people. I don’t think there’s ever been a bad one, forget reliability there, but from a driver’s perspective, it still has a lot of the characteristics of the older cars and is so recognisable on the road, which is what makes it so iconic. I love my 991.1 for its howling engine, but the turbo 991.2 and 992.1s are great fun too.
Agree totally.
Porsche's design has been going downhill for a while. Used to rely on flowing, organic shapes... but for years now they've been trying to introduce angular sharp lines everywhere and it doesn't work.
The flowing, organic shapes make for future classics... those are designs here to stay.... while most of the angular stuff is briefly cool and then loses all its appeal and becomes just lame.
NO💀
Digital dashes is a bad trend that will age like milk. If I want luxury I’m not going for an apple watch, I want a rolex.
It’s really as good as it gets for a hybrid. 1595kg is acceptable in 2024.
Especially compare to new M5 😂😂😂
Porsche just found the right way of hybridisation.
Better performance, better fuel efficiency, still good weight distribution.
But the start button is definitely a betrayal of 911 tradition
@@dachinvova hope they will fix it. Cheap plastic start button - crazy 🤪
@@dachinvovathe 356 Super 1100 also has start button as well.
Physics and dynamics don't alter by year, though. Too heavy.
I just looked at the configurator and Guards Red, which has ALWAYS been standard colour is now...$1500 option.
Such a shame
Bot account
Welcome to Porsche
1500 is not much. And color is importantly. So no problem
All colors should be the same price. In the auto body world, all colors costs the same with the exception of 3 stage. How does Porsche justify their PTS pricing. Just because it didn’t come standard doesn’t mean it should cost thousands more.
As I understand it, the motor/generator sandwiched in the turbo actually replaces the wastegate, using that otherwise wasted energy to recharge the hybrid system while it regulates boost. Pretty slick!
There's a lot of hate around electrification but I'm just thankful we still get an ICE in the latest 911
its great Porsche is going plug in hybrid. people can get used to using sockets
Well in this car the electrification mostly aids performance with little MPG improvement. Personally I'm really happy about it because it fixes the thing I hate most about turbo Porsches which is lag. The discrepancy between the 0-60mph vs the 5-60mph times are often more than a second which I hate. One of the main reasons I always disliked turbo Porsches. Some version's have less lag but it's always at least a little. The NA H6 on the other hand are perfect and symphonic. This electrification should mostly eliminate the lag which is what I've wanted in turbo cars forever.
electric cars aren't panning out the way Ingsoc wanted. i don't think it will go anytime soon
@@charlesadams455 yeh they are going plug in hybrid for now in Germany
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 its so sad hearing you always had 0-60 time issues with Porsche thats kept you from buying them, its great news for you now they have batteries and will be plug in hybrid. have you ordered one now? did you convert ur socket yet
Mat holding on for dear life in that passenger seat haha
Wahre Worte
I had the exact same expressions on my face when i sat next to my friend in his new 911. It is so mindblowingly fast.
Once the t hybrid is fitted to the 992.2 turbo s it will be epic. Good tech engineering. It's a Porsche not a surprise all it's perfect. Ferrari Lamborghini Aston Martin take note.
Porsche is slowly removing things 1 by 1, that make Porsche usually stand out from the rest
True. That´s what SAAB did. And look what happend.
Slowly turning into a VW, like an Audi :/
@@prawdziwyateista11lat50y’all are pessimistic af. You say the same thing about any new product and end up not enjoying anything.
In 20 years time, I bet you’ll be singing praises about this “mini 918” because “things were better back then.” Well enjoy it now.
slowly but surely they are going EV
THEY ELLIMINATED TURBO LAG, ITS MORE RESPONSIVE NOW. STOP COMPLAINING
a hybrid 911 is crazy
I wouldn’t choose that front look but do prefer it over the M3’s grill
Not much of a qualification lol, the BMW grill is challenging on the eye putting it mildly lol
M2’s grill even worse.

That colour is actually gorgeous
nope
@@G82Watts Wasn't that the 4wd model?
That doesn't make sense
@@lukabosnjak3829 no, the old GTS was the 4WD model, the red one was RWD
@@lukabosnjak3829 oh look the insecure tesla owner wishing to have a porsche has arrived. Porsche first ever EV attempt was the 2020 taycan. In their first ever attempt they had a faster car then tesla who had been doing EVs since 2007. In 2020 the taycan was the fastest EV on the planet beating the fastest tesla at the time. Then in late 2021 tesla had to add an entire extra motor in the tri motor plaid and it beat the taycan turbo s in a straight line but lost around nurumbring. Now porsche has created a new platform and motors in the 2024 taycan turbo s and turbo gt but didn't need to add an extra. Instead retained a lightweight 2 motor setup making it the fastest track sedan on the planet and destroying every plaid lap time on every track its been on. Theirs a video already out of the taycan turbo gt beating the plaid in a straight line aswell. Imagine what 3 of porsches new motors would do if they only cared about straight line speed.. it would be a mid 8s car and easily the fastest car in a straight line. Beating the lucid and everyone. But they also care about handling and braking. Nonetheless the new turbo s and gt are the best all around performance EVs on the market. Go cry u can't afford a real luxury premium brand and enjoy ur basic traffic tesla 😂
“Timer not working” hahahaha here we go again
I like to sit high in my 997.2 C2S so I can see the bonnet and infamous headlights. It helps on narrow country roads too. I even changed my wipers to flat aero blade for even more 911 in my face!
Embargo has ended, there will be a 100 videos on this tonight 😂😂
Personally I love the new fins and headlights. Also the rims are really georgous, not sure about screen and normal start stop button, but rear is definitely better
Apple: We've invented spacial computing 🗣️
Mat: It's a VR Headset 🤣
One thing that I didn't understand is why the hybrid system only works with Auto, if the electric motor is between the gearbox and the engine 🤔
It follows the engine rpm so works like two engines...
is that.....artificial noise through the speakers?
Yes fake sound....
yes 100% sadly. The outside footage was very quiet and all air noise, it sounds terrible from the outside. Looks like we are losing the pops when letting off the power too, which is sad. I might not order one after having had the last 2.
yeh Germans faking things again
@@davidknIm honestly just wondering why it sounds so grunty lol
@@davidknyeah right
30mpg is wild for that much BHP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first thing I noted in the 3d technical illustration is that the battery is mounted in front, very on the upper side for easy reach in case of maintenance or substitution. I'd like to know how much is it to get it changed outside warranty since it seems the only "consumable" there.
The comparisons of any 911 always make me pause the video so I can look for any slight changes for like 2 hours
the front spoiler and headlights looks worse
Mat was hitting the gym lately...
he's been swole for years
@@defnotatroll maybe its the tight shirt idk 🤔
No gym just juice 😊😊
Legs still look Chiki 😂
@@MrChilliManare you fucking serious
Pleased with my manual 2WD 992.1 GTS, now more than ever
Can't wait for the GTS Turbo version
25:30 the 911 is 5 times more powerful than my mom's car but somehow is only 0.3L/100km less fuel efficient. Impressive!
Too bad that it costs only 50 times more.
2:28 couldn’t agree more plus i don’t like the fact that they removed some iconic features that were from the start of it
ABS (Anti Lock Brakes System) being one of them removed.
Hoping Porsche brings back the paddle starter & keeps the old analog odometer. They both are like iconic for Porsche
luv it keep those quality and robust explanations coming bruhh!!
I can’t wait for the gt3rs of this new generation!!
11:00 An electric motor on the turbocharger shaft? Can the electric motor withstand the temperatures prevailing there?
Matt, the hissing sound you mentioned,I find it more noticeable in Taycan, at least for mine. I have been driving the Taycan Cross Turismo for over 3 years now, overall totally enjoy the experience 👍 The effortless burst of pace even at 170kmh, entering and exiting corners and bends ! So addicted to the CT, finally decided to sell my Cayenne S 😂
If the GTS is already launching 0-60 in 2.9 secs
Then the Turbo S could be anywhere between 2 to 2.3 secs from 0 to 60
Easter Egg on the old car: If you count the number of fins before the two stop light bars there are 9 on each side of the lights which total 9 1 1 from either direction. BTW, I couldn't help notice those two scars on your arm at 21:49; Hope it wasn't serious.
Yeah i also saw that probably a accident
It stands for 992 as well, if you take the 9 from both sides and the 2 lights in the middle.
@@Yanni1610 911 and 992! True that! Man you have a great car collection. It would be cool to meet you if I visit the UK next year. Sure would like to meet Mat too but I'm sure he would be too busy.
That mpg was impressive
That digital screen is such a big mistake by Porsche, also push to start.. Porsche changing their image
100% agreed.
Why compare times with the new AWD 4s against the RWD only old gen on a wet track?
No axle lifter as standard. Porsche is truly magnificent.

It has never been standard. What are you on about?

is that.... audio pumped through the speakers?
Unbelievably yes 🤦🏼♂️why Porsche ?
@@stevensofroniou another car ruined by this bullshit. are they stupid? literally no one has ever liked it
@@HelloPrettyFace100 precisely and I’m a Porsche disciple it was the last thing I thought they would do particularly as they came up with the genius idea to pump real engine induction noise at 9,000 rpm just behind the drivers ears from outside the car in through the air intakes , absolute genius .
What else would you use speakers for? They're really bad at video.
putting some tension on to these germans! He was even stuttering in the end!!!😂😂😂
Fun fact. In Iceland
A box standard 911 costs 186k sterling
( Basic 911 with nothing extra )
That fact isn't that fun
Waiting anxiously for the new gt2rs
Embargo was 11pm UK time for all sites for the new 911
Rear seats, when it’s raining, a 10 mile ride in the back of a 911 is better than a 10 mile walk. Cabs even better, drop the roof, step in, roof back up and off you go!
Thank heavens it still has an ENGINE...still looks good...I bet the new turbo s will run 9.9 on the 1/4
Why'd they pump that fake sound in?
@@jamiered7102, because turbocharged cars usually sound like vacuum cleaners. 🤷🏽
The red is beautiful!
What a start to my day thanks Matt
12:03 Yeah, not sure about that since I got stuck in the back of a 911 Turbo S once...
The track looked quite a bit more wet when the older model was doing its lap.
Tbh i never liked the start switch but now that its gone i want it back 😅
The new fish gill air intakes is just AWFUL
Blub
Love everything about the new 911, its sad that they got rid of the paddle starter but not thaaat big of a deal. 61hp for 50kg more is also not bad
Gonna miss the analog dials
Imagine the turbo s
Hey Mat, can you run this new entry 911 with 396hp vs an A45s with 421hp, please!!!!! 🙏
If all you care about is 0-100 times, then obvs get the A45s (or a Tesla)
Tesla will beat them
911 base will be quicker the 60 and the 1/4 mile too
@@hassyg4083not sure who would rather have a Tesla over either the 911 or the a45s. As a daily purely for your commute? maybe, if you are not a motoring enthusiast. but in terms of performance, build quality, attractiveness, joy factor, and pretty much any other category, either of those cars are more desirable than a tesla. A tesla is a one trick pony with 0-60 and is soulless in my opinion. The only one I would truly want would be a model s plaid with the track pack. Obviously to each his own, but I would without a second's hesitation take a base 911 over either of those cars... There is no substitute.
@@blakewhite8831over an A45s? I would definitely get the Tesla. Over a 911? No.
Now 992.2 Carrera is a real bargain. Because with its new turbos transferred from the 992.1 GTS, it can easily be transformed to a monster by a touch of a simple ecu remapping. 550-570bhp.makes it comparable to the new GTS.
Can't wait to see how crazy the Turbo S is gonna be 😮
Bad Ass. Agree like the rear. Old front looks better 😊
I'm just hoping this means the new GT2 RS is coming soon
992.2 Turbo S engine on a GT 911 is wild
I think I now agree with Jeremy Clarkson in that every new Porche is exactly the same as the last because I can't see the difference
it would be interesting to see the new awd vs new rwd but on dry road
@0:44 your editors need a raise. 😅
Removing the analog rev dial was a sh*tty move porshe
PORSCHE AG
So is this have pdcc.? Or did you switch to another system?
absolutely love the fans!
edit: the front bumper ones
Do this 911 vs Corvette eray please
Not sure about the flaps in the front either, but they definitely don't ruin the look. As always, the 911 is beautiful. People griped about the hybrid aspect, yet Porsche has found a way to get the benefits of a hybrid without compromising the weight too significantly. This looks incredible 🤤. Can't wait to see whatever they do with the turbo s. And 30mpg?! Well done, Porsche. Truly astonishing 👏
It's funny because AutoTopNL uploaded at the same time about the same car, the 992.2, like what are the odds of that, that's so funny
Thank u, Porsche, for making it hybrid enough to please the suits but still I.C.E enough to keep it in my list of dream cars. Thank you 🙏

Heck, the G-forces are probably enough for the sneeze to just boomerang back into your face

A very large bank collapsed in China and Russia is kicking the West in the teeth.
Finally porsche hired aliens to make new species mix of fish and frog
I love that Porsche have kept the weight down and not made it heavy because of the hybrid system.
The .2 is still a great car. But I'm plenty happy with my .1 version, with its analog parts that make it feel just a tad more special.
A lot more special with the analog tach.
I dont like the start button im gonna miss their key turn because it feels more crisp doesnt feel like its gonna be a potential failure like a stupid button feels like and its a lot easier to keep power to battery on and start up because there is no latency in a key system like there is with a button hope it comes with a manual still
what on earth are you talking about, failure, latency 🤣. No manual, can't with a hybrid
atleast you won't miss hybrid
@davidkn you can run a hybrid drive train with a manual. The ferrari 296 could be done with a manual if they chose to. Also if you haven't used the buttons to turn on accessories, then try to start or put the brake and hit button at same time you will notice a latency and if you have to hit button twice it increases that latency it's extremely noticeable in cars like the land rover defender or civic type r, with the defender if you put it in park and then hit the button right after then it won't turn off because the delay to register park, civic type r takes ages to start if you had accessories on and I don't mean slow crank I mean delay before starter goes. Honestly, a manual hybrid would be sick because no one would stall them because you would have torque to get you going if it was linked to the flywheel or crank and if it was an electric motor separated to do a awd system it could get you going before you dump clutch like the lmp1/prototypes.
@@davidknyou can have a manual hybrid it just isn't common. Honda had it down to a T 20 years ago but for some reason decided not to continue to give the option even though most of their hybrids sold were in fact manuals
