Matt Farah Gives Us His POV on the Targa 4S The new 2020 Porsche 911 (992-series) Targa 4S, as is tradition, is the most stylish, the softest set up, and the heaviest of the 911 range. By mating a Cabriolet chassis, with all its reinforcements, and a power folding retractable...

Porsche 911 Turbo S – The Supermarket Supercar Henry Catchpole of Carfection calls the Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) the ultimate supermarket supercar. By this, he means it can do everything that a supercar needs to do, but it can also work as an everyday car without any issues basically...
Making The Case For Sticking With Manual We’ve covered three different versions of Porsche’s 992 so far: The Carrera S, Carrera 4S, and Turbo S.

Since the Nurburgring Nordschleife reopened to tourist drives (touristenfahrten) earlier in the month, more and more people are now going to the Nordschleife. This is good news for those hoping to spy a car or two out there quietly, or in this case, not so quietly, doing testing and validation...
Like the standard 4S, the Targa 4S produces 443 bhp @ 6500 rpm from a six-cylinder, 3.0-litre boxer engine with twin turbochargers, and puts it to the road via an eight-speed PDK and Stuttgart's refined all-wheel-drive system. 390 ft lbs from as low as 2300 rpm also means you have tons of mid-range power on tap for any situation. Compared to the previous generation Targa 4S, the new model is up 23 hp and 22 ft lbs of torque.
While the base Targa isn't the most dynamic 911, it will suit a certain buyer well. If you want the sexiest looking 911 that is a great all-rounder and you don't plan on spanking it all the time, then this is a great 911 to buy. Even in lower-powered form, the 3.0-liter is a peach of an engine. Torquey across its rev range, it responds quickly to prods of the throttle. The real problem with the Targa is the added weight and the structure, which hurts it dynamically.
This morning, as was teased last week, on Porsche’s own 9:11 Magazine online “TV” channel, the new Type 992 911 Targa 4 and 4S models were officially revealed. The new Targa continues to use the fully automatic roof of the Type 991.2 variant. A few engineering tweaks and optimizations mean...
Which Do You Pick? The 992 Carrera S or the Lotus Evora GT410 Sport? This is almost a year old, but Henry Catchpole compared the new 992 generation Porsche 911 Carrera S against the car he believes to be one of its closest rivals, the Lotus Evora GT410 Sport. It’s...
During the coronavirus lockdown around the world, roads have been emptying of cars. In Europe, Germany locked down pretty quickly, leaving long stretches of its unlimited speed Autobahn sections virtually devoid of any traffic.

A week ago, spy shots of the new Porsche Type 992 911 GT3 testing on the Nordschleife in Germany were unveiled. Over the weekend, 19Bozzy92, on of YouTube’s best at capturing raw supercar sounds, was going through his older video captures. To his surprise, he found that he had captures...

Porsche’s 2021 Turbo S Video Review The all-new 2021 Porsche Turbo S is a tamed beast. It’s got 640 horsepower, 60 more than before; it does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds or less, and runs mid-10’s in the quarter. Thanks to AWD, four-wheel steering, torque vectoring, and superior chassis control, the...

All Porsche 911s are turbocharged these days but the Turbo model is something special. It gets the twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat six with tons of power and a huge $33,000 savings over the Turbo S. Thanks to an output of 573 hp, marking an increase of 32 hp over the predecessor, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than before). The Turbo Cabriolet basically handles like a coupe.
It would be a disservice to call this new Turbo a "lesser" car than the Turbo S, but it does have less in most departments. Less power at 573 HP. Less features compared to the jam-packed Turbo S. Most importantly, less money required to put one in your garage. This also is not to say that the new Turbo isn't anything short of a monster. It will still go 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds, will corner like it was on rails with Porsche Torque Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive.
The 992.1 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet is a formidable beast. The new Turbo S comes with an all-new, 3.8 liter boxer six with two variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers. The power output is a staggering 640 hp and 590 lbs-ft of torque. In keeping with previous Turbo models, the engine powers all four wheels. A new 8 speed automatic transmission with a manual mode manages the power, and can power the car to 60 mph in a hair under a claimed 2.7 seconds.

Is the new 992 the best 911 of all? The 992 version of Porsche 911 was launched in 2019. The 992 Carrera S with 450bhp from it’s twin-turbo 3.0 engine, it’s very quick but is it easy to live with and still a true 911? Find out here....

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Video Review The Porsche 911 has always been an analogue sports car. Whereas Ferrari and others chased the digital revolution from its earliest onset, Porsche preferred to keep things pure and mechanical. But such an approach was never going to be timeless and thus the 911...

The Carrera 4 is the base model 911, equipped with all-wheel drive. It starts at $109,850 for 2022, which is about $7,000 more than the standard rear-drive Carrera. Other than the additional all-wheel-drive system and the 150 odd pound increase in curb weight, the Carrera 4 is identical to its rear-drive sibling. It gets the same 379-hp, twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six engine. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six has 379 hp.

Top down summertime driving in the current 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is about as good as it gets.

It comes standard with the same eight-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission.
