Porsche really knows how to put on a launch party! We got to try out the new 2020 992 4S, and the 991 Turbo S to compare. They had live music, a nice little presentation on the new 992, and a great food spread. They had lamb chops, y'all... All gratis.
Here's my thoughts:
• The PDK is still the best dual clutch transmission in the industry, but more importantly YOU CAN GET ONE WITH A MANUAL!
• I like the 992's styling. They managed to make it look leaner without it being a smaller car. Flatness seems to be a theme.
• I'm not really a fan of the digital dash, but that's just me.
• Some have lamented the naturally aspirated engine going away, but I really enjoy the torque that the turbos provide. The new 992 4S feels like it pulls as hard as the 991 Trubo S.
• Sadly the 992 feels more "electronic" and disconnected than the 991 does. Just as the 991 feels that way compared to the 997, and so on down the line. It's an unfortunate side effect that technology which makes cars better overall also numbs the visceral experience.
• Porsche knows how to treat their customers well.
Sorry this was filmed on a potato...
