IF I was on the fence about buying a 992, this video would have closed the deal. Very nice.
I’d warn against watching it as a 991 owner. If the 992 can convert someone like Mark... GL
Ive followed SG since it launched the channel. The biggest thing you’ll notice is how often Mark states Porsches are “watered down” in general, including the last 991.2. So to see his reaction; and note actual drama in a modern turbo engine, was pretty cool. Who says the 992 has no “soul”
Good watch. Not so sure about the mention that the 992 "reverses a trend in 911s; it's finally lost weight (...) that was a problem with prior generation 911s; they kept getting heavier and heavier (...) 5% lighter than the 991.2" though. Looking back through brochures and other records the official DIN unladen weights (might be a bit inaccurate for older models) are generally slowly trending upwards but overall still in the same 1400-1500 kg ballpark since the 993. Some prior generations like 991.1 and 996 were actually lighter than their predecessors - not the 992 however (what's lighter is the body in white, but not the entire car). And their manual Carrera S at 1494 kg is actually a bit overweight.
Really good review and their technical knowledge is also comprehensive. Interestingly they reviewed a Lotus Evora right before the C2S and said modern Porsches lacked feel, were somewhat numb and lifeless, despite being so good at everything.
