- In this video we discuss the many different options and ways in which to spec a Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S. We explore many of the different exterior & interior options.
2019 Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S - Black For Sale: www.romansinternational.com/u...
The 992 Porsche 911 Carrera represents the next step in the evolution of this iconic legendary sports car. To many in the automotive world the Porsche 911 has for the last 50 years represented a benchmark for what the sports car of its day should be. Now in it’s 8th generation, still defiantly rear engined and unmistakably Germanic, what makes the new 992 different? Firstly, the exterior styling has been significantly modernised, from the streamlined auto-deploying door handles to the brake light included in the rear engine grille, everything has been meticulously thought through.
Power is up 30bhp for the S to 444bhp, coincidentally the same amount as the 991.2 GTS, now running through an 8-Speed PDK and launching the car from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 191mph. This begs the question, what are figures going to be like on the Turbo S! The interior receives a thorough remodelling with an analogue rev counter flanked by 7” TFT screens and a beautifully integrated centre console. The dainty gear lever, knurled switches and high-quality materials used throughout exude luxury and class, making the cabin a really special place to be. More features included as standard such as cruise control, ParkAssist and Keyless-Go bring the 992 up to speed with its competitors’ trim levels.
Tweaks and adjustments to just about every component of the steering, suspension and car calibration have rendered a car which feels more planted, sure footed and capable than ever before. Everything from the brakes to the power delivery feels somehow more cohesive and together, in ways you didn’t realise were lacking. Overall the new 992 picks up exactly where it left off, evolving the 911 further again, including more features as standard and pushing the envelope for how much performance and sheer driving pleasure can be extracted from four wheels.

Thank you Porsche for not including the engine as an option
😂😂😂😂
Or...the steering wheel...oh,wait 🤡🤮
😂😂😂😂 i hate porsche for that like thats the only problem with porsches
😂😂 How generous of them
Well it kinda is if you think about it, if you go for the S, the GTS, and of course the GT3, it kinda is an option !
Folding mirrors should be standard in a premium car. Porsche knows how to milk..
So should Porsche Torque Vectoring, they do nickel and dime you to death.
Yep, when I picked up mine recently it didn't have folding mirrors - fail. Every Mercedes I have had also had folding mirrors.
You should head over to their car configurator. It's the largest list of possible specs I've ever seen for a car, and most upgrades are $300+...
I just came here to say the same thing. Robbing baskets !!
NarrowPath On the plus side, of your folding mirrors break, they have a 50% chance of just becoming standard mirrors if they are already folded out lol
Good to see that there are 163k+ other viewers who are dreaming like me.
@Chester mandvol my passion is shitting on other peoples dreams
@@themadplotter lmao savage
@Chester mandvol facts, I taught myself to program. Making $70k, more than I thought possible at one point. But I know that's not even that much, I'm interviewing for six figure jobs and I came from a poor family. We can all do it
@Chester mandvol I don't know if you have winner bias or if you are just rambling down some motivational speech but that is just not true. There are countless people who follow their passion and try to make music, become actors, athletes, artists .... and 99.99% fail. Passion doesn't equal talent. Also, your passion could be doing something that will never make you rich. The idea that we could all be rich is silly.
@@user-he8rl4sm3k that's great! im majoring cs in collage right now and it's too hard for me. i think im going to study something else instead
Your videos are special, as you give the audience a close-up expert overview of beautifully spec’d cars. Nice gig you’ve got mate!
I tried configuring the exact car that he described with the options he deemed 100% necessary, I thought it seemed extremely reasonable and it still came out to 158k cad (28k in options), it's really easy to see how you can run a simple C2S to almost 200k...
Personally I feel a red interior would work perfectly with an all-black spec, but then again that’s just my opinion... I feel like it would pop more.
That's my favourite colour
Omg I love it
red interior ages like milk and gets boring quicker than you expect
I'm way too tempted right now.....
You only live once Atozy!
Did you ever buy one
This is a man who knows what sells a used car, a really informative presentation, of course he is right, I am sure so many people are sitting there saying oh you need this or you need that but believe me, he knows what he is talking about when it comes to speccing cars. This is not a £30k Mercedes A Class which needs lots of lights and driver aids to make up it not being a particularly good driving machine, it’s a Porsche, it needs 4 wheels some seats and a steering wheel, the sheer driving pleasure comes as standard from the engineers at the Factory!
onkouth what you talkin bout willis
I call bullshit; he said he wouldn't recommend the front-lift axle. Have a look on the Porsche forums; that is a big disadvantage for trying to resell your car...
You forgot the engine and gearbox.
@@bakkermaarten007 Not needed. Something to break later. Buy some ramps
@@bakkermaarten007 what about manual transmission
Front axle lift should be a required option if you drive in the city. Especially with the Sport Design Package, which extends the front lip. Bad call there. Without it, that front lip spoiler will last under a week unscathed...
@Pedro You don't think that a lifting front axle is a useful option?
Very good review! Exactly what confirms my choices. You forgot to mention the extra red seat belts which matches the calipers ;) The AERO kit is fantastic to have with the bigger wing. Changes it completely.
One disagreement on how to spec any Porsche 911: DO get the front Axle Lift. I've had Porsches in Toronto, San Francisco and now Seattle....I bottom out on driveways, speed bumps and careless road repairs on a daily basis. (This is especially true if you're spending extra on the Sport Design pack).
Agreed - that far left button is for the Front Axle Lift and once you use it for your daily speed bumps/humps the GPS always recalls them automatically in perpetuity. The front scrape plate will thank you by not displaying plastic road rash daily. Rear axle steering is also a must. Most people don’t realize all cars come standard with PASM - if ordered - all you are paying for is a 10 mm lowering - which makes that option questionable. Definitely don’t get the PDCC which pumps oil into the shocks, these cars have almost no body roll without it. It also makes many people physically ill as your brain can’t process the lack of body roll in cornering. If you have a top heavy Targa then perhaps.
1) beautiful car.
2) awesome video. Really like how you give your opinion on what packages are / aren't worth it.
You've got a new subscriber.
Just the video I wanted to see. Thanks ever so much.
Great video. Very informative and good to know what is important from a resale value ! Well done
Excellent thanks great to see these type of view and video
I don’t know why, but he’s like the Keanu Reeves of the car reviewing world. Definitely straight to the point. You’ve got a new subscriber sir!
Great camera work, lots of good info. Surprised to see so few subs.
3:25 I like the little chair you sit on. I've never seen any other reviewer sit on a little chair like that while reviewing.
you know the money is gone to the porsche xD
RenTzio hahaaaa
Thank you for your comments & opinions, I'll certainly carefully consider all the available options upon ordering, there were some that either I wasn't aware of or had discounted from being an asset but I've come to reconsider my original choices after viewing your insightful thoughts. Have a great day, thanks again for your views and I wish you happy motoring, my knowledgeable friend!👍PS: I subbed to your channel, you obviously have a lot of knowledge and good insight to offer viewers, thank you again!
Love the car and review. A few nights ago I saw that car in the court yard of my work place. It was unbadged, now I know what 911 it was. I want one. Thank you so much!
idk why I value your opinion the most over other youtubers
Good thoughts, well presented. I agree with almost everything said, though, as a young (30) audiophile I would deffinitely opt go for the burmeister system - it's the best in the business. Speaking of that though, I was out in my uncles 992 S last month, and, one thing I couldn't get past was a very slight but very noticable high pitched wine that appeared to be coming from one of the electronic devices in the car, you know how those old tube TV's often have a really high pitched electro static tone that's constantly there in the background where, you can seeminly hear the EMF's, I could hear something like that, and my god it was driving me bonkers, I'm told such high pitched noises are not usually heard by those over the age of 25 (apparently your ears usually degrade about that age - not sure if true or if younger people have just evolved to hear a wider degree of frequency because I'm older than 25 and I can still hear it - who knows, maybe I'm odd, I can hear bats) anyway, I could hear it, he (55) couldn't, and it was annoying, now, as his is the only 992 I've ever been in I can't say whether or not it was unique to his car, or if it's an issue present in all of them, however, if it is there in all of them, that would be a deal breaker for me and I'd be looking at a 997 GTS or even somekind of GT without any of the infotaiment/nav gubbins - yes I'd sacrefice having a sound system at all just to get rid of that. He had the standard sound system in his and he'd even lowered the bass level of that in the settings because he's a saddo of the whole 'bass is bad' boomer (!) generation. It was the worst thing about the car, almost everything else was lovely. So, all I can say is, AT LEAST get the bose. His is in agate grey with the most expensive natural leather option, that was lovely, so classy, and if I was being super nitpicky, which I am, the only other thing that bugged me was the fact that everything in the car was covered in this lovely brown except for the seatbelt buckles at the base of the seats which were in the usual black/red, I'm not sure if they have to be that way for regulations or what but they looked out of cadence with the quality and finish of everything else, it wasn't that they were bad, it was just that everything else was so perfect they stood out as being, well, mediocre. Not sure if that can be optioned out but if you are getting the awesome natural leather pack definitely option to upgrade those as well if you can, if not, I'd be looking at an aftermarket fix - he agreed with me on that. TLDR - Car is amazing, unless deaf upgrade the sound system at all costs, have an extended test drive in a few 991's and also try a 997ii GTS - as you might like it more.
Excellent roundup of the options.
CONGRATS FOR THIS AMAZING 911 PRESENTATION. THE BEST EVER! PERFECT.
I don't want the video to end ... I can look at this car more and more ...
How Jewish people can like German cars is always confusing for me
@@morrishbs Why? What is so confusing with that?
@@morrishbs what?
I think you need to get out more.
@@famaccount479 i agree with him ngl
The best spec review of this car I’ve seen
Exactly
Dude for real, great quality. I love the way he showcased the car throughout
I think I like the fact that the car is indoors too, much better look and the audio is better
I always appreciate the content of your videos.
I prefer the standard read end, but I like the front sports package. But in my opinion this is is the best looking 911 ever made. That read end especially is beautiful.
Great video and lovely car, really useful too. Would love to know the total cost of the all the options as specced on that car versus the base car cost. Cheers.
The Seats aren't Standard, these Seats in the Video are Sport seats Plus, which cost 324GBP extra.
Super-proffesional video mate, thanks and respect from Poland!
Excellent review in fact best I have seen
I saw a Blue one the other day in Palm Beach.. Beautiful..!
Such a beautiful car 👌
Your advice is 100% right. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for that. Really appreciated the insight. Definitely looking to get the rims painted like that...didn't know it was an option.
This car looking at overall angle is really really awesome.. I prefer the manual seat adjustment in a sport car. tq bro.😬💪
There are 4 colours. This is the black...
Yeah thanks for that! 😂🤣
Could have been the optional black🤨
@@andanikhangala1929 Precisely !
@@andanikhangala1929 He said there are four base colours, and this is the black (which is obvious).
There are different versions of "black". You would only know if you own a decent car.
If you can afford this car, who cares to save money on the color????? As if I'd pay $130,000 dollars, but say 'hey, wait a minute there. You aren't charging me any $700 for my FAVORITE COLOR! I'll take it in the black instead, thank you very much. 'He walks away, proud of himself for having saved some real money on his six figure purchase.
Really nice review. You did a great job
One of the best review no has done this
5:30 the sport design package is a MUST, esp. at the rear end, licence plate up looks so much better
Lower down looks better imo
I think the standard exhaust looks way better than the extra cost sport exhaust. The humongous 20-21" wheels dwarf the brake rotors, making the rotos to appear undersized. Would the ceramic brake option come with larger diameter rotors?
I own a 991 but spot on with options and impact to resale. Hope to someday own one of these!
Great video, very helpful! Thanks
gorgeous car. Love it. I traded my 911 in a couple of years ago for a truck and miss it. Great review and excellent video. Thank you for the tips.
As soon as I sell my 1997 Saab 900s I"m going for one of these ;-)
WHY SELL A SAAB ?
Saab 95 covert "the rich mans car."
You're a fool if you sell those Saabs lol
Great spec, great vid, thanks
The collection vid of this car is on my channel from earlier this year. Beautiful spec
Finally mine arrived and spect it like this one after watching this video, thank you mate.
Should be called "How wrong can you spec a 911".
Here's the right way: czcams.com/video/iWH-imwuZ6U/video.html
@@lunayconsuela thats gt3 bro thats not a 992 carrera s...
@@drazenklikovac2964 I know, was talking about a 911 in general.
The looks of that GT3 are classy, this Carrera with black wheels and tinted windows not at all.
@@lunayconsuela everyone has different opinion so yeah
Luna Show us a pic of your car.
That's a beautiful beast.
Those exclusive alloys are the one to go for. Classic!
Very nicely done sir. Agree wholeheartedly regarding PASM, Sport Design Package and Sport Chrono Package.
Extra for electric folding windows upsets me
Who else got less than $100 in their account
😂😂😂😭😭😭
I have $2.57
Not quite so low but still not enough
I got a bit more than that but when you take into account my student loan debt, I'm negative $50K. :( For the next decade, a 911 is out of the question.
£65k but jobless and the stock market sucks in the UK at the moment.
I really enjoy the way do the reviews. #thebest Cheers mate
That was really helpful. Thanks !!!
Great video, please do the same on the new Turbo S when it becomes available!
Cars such as this are the reasons I buy lottery tickets.

Big facts bro
@@judithlanda921 I don't think the Lord had a GT4 in mind, but I like your way of thinking, lol.
Cyclingmasterseller The word of God says that He will give you the desires of your heart if you put Him above all else. That’s including a 918 and more.
@@kingdomkids2724 yea sure... I prefer to believe that god is less superficial than that. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". Cheers.
Your choice of spec is just stunning!
Appreciate your review
Lovely spec. Ordered mines from Porsche 1 week ago in a grey hue colour. Kind of annoyed now that I should of went with black 😂
I'd recommend speccing the side and front sport design and leaving the rear one standard; personally I reckon the rear plate stuck in the middle up high spoils the lines a bit. Regardless, speccing the config. is just so much fun.
Exactly how I ordered mine. Got the Sport Design Front and side skirts, but left the back stock.
Totally agree. It is common to see the front Sport design, the side Sport design skirts but definitely not the rear Sport design. It looks horrible in real life with the plate in the wrong place. Leave the back stock as the 991 is actually more bloated in the back - when you compare it with the cleaner 992 side by side.
GREAT REVIEW MAN!
Excellent video, and very informative 👍
The sport design makes the back diffuser absolutely beautiful, but it makes the front end look ugly in my opinion. I wish there was an option you could only spec the rear
There is, you can choose individual sport parts
All I need is a red interior and the gated manual shifter
Me hearing the word "manual" in 2020: 🤣😳🙄😂
The manual is coming next year, not gated though.
I am currently looking to spec and order one of these. Great video and advise thanks!
GREAT VIDEO VERY INFORMANTIVE.
Rear wheel steering is a must have for this car!
Um no its not. If you need that to drive then hand in your license and take the bus.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 You have no fucking clue, buddy!
Every recent and bloody fast Porsche had four-wheel steering, because it's very obvious that it improves handling and cornering characteristics of a 911.
Guess why Porsche will recommend rear wheel steering to every 911 customer who's interested in performance and improved handling...?!
From 918 Spyder, 991.2 generation of 911 GT2 RS, 911 GT3/ GT3 RS and all 911 performance cars like different Turbo or GTS models and 911 S versions, and even the full electric Porsche Taycan Turbo models have it, because it makes these cars more stable and more safe... and of course these cars are quicker than with just a simple front axle steering.
You are talking fucking crap!
It seems like it's better for you "taking a bus"...🤣!
Of course you can choose for a more traditionally only front-wheel steering in a new 992 Porsche 911 for keeping it more "puristic", but it will always be slower around corners than a new Porsche 911 which has steering on both axles..., period!
@@user-jf8gd3lv7q The four-wheel steering make sense for the higher Sport Models like upcoming GTS, GT2 or GT3. For the basic model Carerra is it not a must have, it's just a can have. The corner speed is not that much higher and the handling is almost perfect as well for the 450PS without that. There is not sooo much more that you can squeeze out the Carrera. Drive both and you will understand what i meaning.
First i thought same you, then test, then doesn't order it, because the effect is for the small model not that much, that it make the expensive option worth 100%.
@@famaccount479 I have driven both versions with a Carrera S! And the difference between these cars for me was immediately obvious... Believe it or not!
I'm not a track racer at all, but on winding roads such a Porsche four wheel steering system just gives you this extra safety feeling. As I said: why is it in every 911 performance car? Because the 911 drivability is better and makes it faster! This is not just a marketing gimmick...😁.
@@user-jf8gd3lv7q No its not a marketing gag, but as you (and i) has mentioned: in the performance models it makes sense. In the basic one not really. But everyone can feel free to order it, that's why it's optional available.
Watching this makes me love my 993 Carrera 4S all the more. KISS. Keep it simple stupid.
yeah i would sell that on a heartbeat to buy even a stripped out cayman.
Great information, thank you!
Brilliant video great advice!
Good video, I would like your shoes 👍?
Please, a back seat? I know, it's a Carrera, but still. Make no rear-seats an option. I suppose if your a doctor and just drive for 'show', then what the hell, go with rear seats, and don't forget the cup holders.
can't get enough of it., Looking forward owning it .
Great review, factual, useful, and well presented.
Can you make a video on how to spec a 718 GT4?
Squidward's House aren’t they all sold?
@@berniesutton7277 From the sounds of it production will not be as limited as the 981 version. It will be easier to get one this time around
Squidward's House thanks mate. That sounds encouraging
I'd spec it exactly like this with a red interior
yup
100% correct
Amen
@Pod Yeah. Red interior hold they're value better and 5k doesn't make a huge difference to the rice tag
I’d spec iT the same but instead of red i would go with racing yellow same vore the coler of the car. But THIS car is such a piece of art
Really cool to watch!
Great review!

That's truly buetifull.
Only thing missing is the bikini cladding.

@@TOMVUTHEPIMP Darth Vader. Google him, and you will see.
Love this spec. One change I’d make is I’d add a manual gearbox.

Terrific video. Thanks
Can somebody please explain what is luxurious about Alcantara?
It’s basically just leather that is significantly lighter and the weight reduction means that it’s pretty standard in modern super and hyper cars
Kurt Wagner thanks mate. My research suggests that it is synthetic but I can’t find anything that indicates luxury except in motoring reviews. The appeal must only be that it is lightweight. Visually it does nothing for me. I see it as cheap, nasty stuff
Bernie Sutton I could see how you would think it’s cheap but in cars where weight is incredibly important having a somewhat nice material that you can use in place of leather that is like 1/3 of the weight it really does make a difference and it’s helpful for the car companies to basically get the best of both worlds of performance and luxury...but don’t get me wrong you won’t find that stuff in a Rolls Royce
Kurt Wagner agree, weight is becoming a more important factor for all cars really. With the weight benefits of Alcantara I can see the benefit. I just can’t see the luxury aspect and no, I certainly would not expect to see it in a Rolls, Bentley or any other truly luxurious car
@@kurtwagner350 Sorry but you are wrong. Alcantara is not leather, it's synthetic.

We dont care
I think your spec is basically based on what sells down the road. And the Carrera S not being a drivers car?? Turbos S is less of a drivers car in my opinion. Drivers cars tend to not be overpowered missiles, and more delicate to pilot down the roads. I think the most important boxes to tick on the new Carrera S would be the manual gear box option, along with PSE (kind of useless on the 992 anyway), 4WS and S-PASM. The rest is just excess.
Nord Mann manual gearbox not available at this moment
stefano sassi oh but yes, since 4 days:

@@Nord_Mann In my opionion you don't need a manual gearbox with the PDK available - that's just the best possible drive experience. The PDK swift faster/perfect as any human can do and if you just want cruising you let it swift automatic.
@@famaccount479 nah a Porsche is meant to be driven manual, so much more fun...who cares if the PDK is faster or smoother. Also I'd get the manual in the 992 just to replace that weird pdk shift knob alone xD
@@t-bone9239 The knob you mention is just to put the gear in D or R, has nothing to do with the PDK. Point one. Point 2, do you understand the term in my opinion? Believe me, if the majority would confirm what you say, porsche would came up with the manual gear box first and mainly focus on that. But the majority say what i have said as my opinion: Nobody wants/needs a manual gear, because it's nothing to more fun and it's definitly slower. There is just a really small minority who want it, so porsche deliver it later as an option. Even the resale price will me a lot cheapter of the car has not the PDK. And to the question who cares about faster or smoother: Porsche buyer, as you see by fact.
Absolutely stunning . Love Porsche’s.
Great informative video from someone who obviously knows Porche. Worth taking in resale value as you advise. Invaluable for first time purchaser.
Oh yeah that sports exhaust is super loud just wow 🙄
Not my liking. I think this whole, black it all out craze will go away like the whole Fast and Furious crazy body kit and decal era or the steep rake muscle car look from the 70s.
Even utes in Australia have black editions and they look rubbish. Like a shadow driving around. No contrast, no design character or detail.
Completely agree! Black on black is just boring
Once you go black you’ll never go back!!
Very helpful! Thanks.
Good video idea. Thanks.
