Compared to its predecessor, the 992 is wider and now uses aluminium body panels. The 992 also has a new rear bumper with larger exhaust tips than its predecessor. While the 992’s rear end width stayed the same as on the widebody 991, at the front, the body width was increased by 1.8″/45 mm, making room for the wider front track. The wider rear end is also standard across the entire range. That is really good news for the people who prefer sports cars with rear wheel drive, but at the same time want the wide body look. The next generation of flat-six turbocharged engines has been further developed to be more powerful than ever. There are numerous revisions and tweaks to the powerful turbocharged engines of the 992 Porsche 911 generation that are worth mentioning. A larger central intercooler is found at the rear, replacing the twin intercooler units of the 991 generation. Carrera S horsepower outputs increase from 420 to 450 as a result. As expected, Porsche launched the Carrera S and 4S first and then we saw the rest of the lineup trickle in over the following 12 – 18 months. See all of our Porsche 992 Research.
