It may be late ... Porsche 911 (991.2) review video

I'm glad if the same car as me is praised

The other day, one person contacted me, "There is a review video of Porsche 991.2 type base model Carrera. It is rare to review the base model, isn't it?"

Why even more 991.2 reviews now? I thought, but maybe this video was made just after the 991.2 Carrera base model was sold (or announced).

However, it seems that this video was not seen after that because the person who was hosting this video was stopped from a certain program that was making this video at that time ... That is why now It seemed to be reposted again.

Some people are pleased to see it again, and of course I see it too.

Because it is a review of the 991.2 type base model Carrera, which is the same as my beloved black Carrera ^ ^

The host is Jason Cammisa, who is very light and has a lot of material, but it feels cute without any discomfort ^ ^

And this Jason is an NAist himself, and those who think that Porsche (that is, base model Carrera) that is not Porsche Turbo should be non-turbo.

When conducting a test drive review this time, even though I have such an idea, I was told "I will do my best to review as objectively as possible".

Given that premise, this seems like a slightly negative review to 991.2 ...? ??

I thought, but the first thing he said after driving the car was that the sound heard from inside the car while driving was "It's just the old 911 and it's not like a turbo."

However, "the sound heard from outside the car is a mess of turbo sound."

"Everyone listening from outside knows that it's a turbo car, but it's amazing that the car has a classic 911 sound."

To be sure, if you look at the place where the black carrera is running objectively from the outside, you can hear a turbo sound like a swoosh, but when you are driving in the car, the speed is high. The turbo sound is almost never noticeable when you are playing.

* By the way, in the past,Ferrari F8 Tributo was the most worrisome turbo sound from inside the carIt was ^^

When the speed is slow, you can climb a hill, and at that time, you can hear it from inside the car.

Here is a picture of me driving a black carrera (991.2) by chance. At low speeds when driving in the city, you can often hear the sound of screaming from the outside ↓

According to Jason, there is no such thing as whether the Porsche 911 was equipped with a turbo and really ruined the 911. Yeah, this is a nice comment.

As for the same car as my model, the more positively I can say it, the more I'm purely happy ^^

Anyone who likes cars and owns their own car is basically the same, but no matter who says what, your car is the best car and others I would be very happy if you could praise me.

Is there a turbo lag in the Porsche 911 Carrera 991.2?

Jason went on to say that this 991.2 Carrera has a very fast response unlike other turbo-equipped cars, and I mean ... I don't even notice the turbo lag.

But what he says "not noticed" here does not mean that "this 911 has no turbo lag!".

He said, "Turbo lag is absolutely possible because turbo lag is something that can always be done from the technical point of view of turbo."

Then, there is that turbo lag, but you hardly notice it ... What does that mean? Transform to explain that in an easy-to-understand manner ^ ^

He used both the 991.2 base model Carrera and his 30-year-old NA engine Volkswagen, and created a data table of engine response every 500 rpm when the engine was raised from 1,500 rpm to 6,000 rpm, respectively. ..

The blue graph is NA VW, the red is 991.2 Carrera with turbo ↓

VW has an engine response speed of about 2/10 to 3 seconds regardless of the engine speed.

On the other hand, Carrera immediately feels the response from the engine at around 2,000 rpm, and then feels the response from the turbocharger about 2 seconds later. … In other words, this is where people notice turbo lag.

However, when the speed increases (when the number of revolutions increases), the response speed of Carrera seems to be up to about 6/10 seconds, and in that case the difference of 6/10 seconds in the human brain is constant (it is constant). If so) it will not bother you.

Certainly, when my brain compares the 2/10 second response of VW and the 6/10 second response of Carrera, I think that I do not know if it feels like "Wow, Carrera's response is sloppy". increase.

In other words, in the high rpm range (4 to 5,000 rpm or more), Carrera has a response of 6/10 seconds.

That means that if you are driving on a circuit that is supposed to always drive above that speed range, you may not notice that this Carrera is a turbo-equipped car, so this time I moved to the circuit. is.

From here, I decided to have a professional racing driver, Randy, drive it.

Jason "Randy, this is the slowest Porsche 911 car."
Randy "I think it's the closest Porsche car to the 1965 Porsche today."

When I first had this conversation, I wondered if Jason was negative about the 991.2 base model Carrera. I thought, but it wasn't.

He went on to say, "Yes, that's right, I think this 911 is the most" 911 ". It feels like a classic 911 with control. It's very pure and more realistic. ."When.

"But this car has two turbochargers!"

This Carrera didn't really need to be turbocharged and had enough performance ... but Porsche continues to say that Porsche made the Carrera a turbo to improve fuel economy.

Still, as a result, it is a car that can add a turbo without ruining the driving experience as Porsche 911 at all ... He enthusiastically told me that.

Randy looks happy too.

Even at the time of this shooting, this Carrera actually gave a very fast time, proving that the performance of the car is also excellent.

Mr. Jason praises me so much, "No, even if it is equipped with a turbo, it is wonderful that the driving experience as Porsche is not ruined at all!", But at the end

"But I still want the 911 version of NA, even if it's late."

Fufufu, after all, those who say "I like NA!" Are, after all, "But NA" ^^

I have no intention of denying that, and I think the conclusion is that it is best to enjoy your favorite car.

I was very happy to see the video that praised the car of the same model as me! !!

Here is the video ↓
