PredecessorPorsche 991

The Porsche 992 is the internal designation for the eighth generation of the rear engine sports car produced by the German automobile manufacturer Porsche. It was officially introduced at the Porsche Experience Center, Los Angeles on November 27, 2018.[2] It launched in European markets in early 2019.

Specifications

The 992 uses rack-and-pinion steering and has a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The 992 has wide rear-wheel arches which will be a part of every model in the 992 lineage (a change only found on variants of the 911 previously) along with 19-inch wheels.

Compared to its predecessor, the 992 is 45 mm (1.8 in) wider and now uses aluminium body panels. The 992 also has a new rear bumper with larger exhaust tips than its predecessor. The front of the car is designed to mimic the appearance of an early 911 in a modern fashion.[3] 992 models have electrical pop-out door handles, a retractable rear spoiler (for specific models only) and LED headlights.[4] All models also feature a full-length rear light bar.[5] The interior also has received significant changes including a straighter dashboard which harks back to the shape of the dash board used on the classic 911. The instrument cluster consists of two 7-inch digital displays and an analogue tachometer.[6]

The engines have piezo injection, a revised intake system, and—in some markets under Euro-6 regulations—have engine particulate filters.[7] The only available transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK).[8] The previously available 7 speed manual was discontinued likely due to poor sales compared to the PDK models

Equipment

Interior

Standard equipment includes a 10.9-inch display with Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and navigation system, a 8-speed PDK transmission and driver assistance systems including collision detection with braking intervention.[9] A Wet Mode feature is also introduced on the 992 which uses acoustic sensors on the wheel wells to detect wet pavement and adjusts the stability control, the rear wing position, and gearbox responsiveness to keep the car stable.[10] The previously available 7 speed manual was discontinued likely due to poor sales compared to the PDK models Optional equipment includes adaptive cruise control, night vision, automatic parking, and sports suspension which lowers the car by 10 mm (0.4 in).[11] A Sport Chrono package is also available on all models and features an overboost function that provides increased performance for 20 seconds.[12] 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration times are decreased by 0.2 second.[13]

Models

Carrera S and Carrera 4S (2019- )

The first models to debut in the 992 lineage were the Carrera S and Carrera 4S in November 2018, displayed at the 2018 LA Auto Show. Both of the models are powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine.[14] The Carrera S and Carrera 4S Cabriolet followed in January 2019.[15]
