New Porsche 992 Test Drive Review by Chris Harris (Top Gear Moderator)

Posted: Posted:

It seems that the review article about Porsche 992 has been lifted

In Porsche 992, it seems that the information regulation that was set for the media has been lifted (it is written that "Embargo (= article suspension)" has disappeared), and it will be bordered on January 16, 2019. In addition, videos and articles of the test drive review of the new Porsche 992 have been released at once overseas.

The rating of the Porsche 992 review is quite high. If the new Porsche 911 is highly evaluated, it makes me happy ^^ (← So, always Nanimono (laughs)).

Below are links to some Porsche 992 review articles that were released all at once from January 16th to January 17th.

If you are interested, copy and paste the URL of each article on the left side of the Google Translate site below, and click the arrow "→" displayed next to it. The entire website of the article will be translated into Japanese.

It's not perfect, but somehow, I think you can understand the contents quite roughly ^^!

Top Gear Moderator Chris Harris Releases Porsche 992 Test Drive Review

Not only the article but also some videos were published at the same time.

This video is a test drive review of the Porsche 992 by Top Gear, the BBC's car show in the UK, and Chris Harris, the current host of the show.

 

The video started with the question "Is the Porsche 911 still a" sports car "even after it becomes 992?"

Basically, it's quite a "solid compliment". Satisfaction with 992 seems to have been quite high.

Porsche 992 is very "911", and it is interesting to say "This is already 991 plus ... No, that is why it is 992!" (Laughs).

Points pointed out in Porsche 992

Both the performance and the interior are basic and complimented. The only thing he pointed out was the following points. I don't think it's almost critical.

About the door handle that pops up. When you open the door with the key, the handle pops up, but when you close it once and then try to open it again, the door handle does not respond easily and the handle does not pop up.

So it's like "Isn't it okay if it wasn't this?"

・ As for the buttons on the dashboard and the cup holder that was moved to the center console, "Why did this happen?"

For me, it was a new discovery in this video that I was able to properly confirm the other cup holder on the passenger's glove box that I could not confirm properly until now ^ ^ (yellow circle) It looks like a cup holder that looks more decent than ever before)

・ How to open the door from inside the car ... In 991, you couldn't open the door without pulling the door handle in the car and then pushing out the door, but in 992, the door handle connected from the trim of the door in the car was used. Just by pulling it, the door opens quickly (minimum necessary amount) ... Although it was highly evaluated, at the end, "But this, my little finger is caught" (laugh).

It may be a problem only for him, but I would like to experience the experience of the little finger getting caught in the door handle of the 992 car ^^ ... I don't want to (laughs).

He also commented that he couldn't see the engine room at all. Well, this is also unavoidable. I opened the engine hood and was disappointed that "(I can't see the engine) I can only see two fans ..." and finally closed the engine hood, and the sound of closing it was "super plastic sound! "When. It's the same at 991 ... Well, it's a joke comment ^^

I was the other dayVideo at Porsche 992 CabrioletAs for the engine sound when driving, which I was a little worried about, it sounded better than the cabriolet in this video, as he said, "The sound is also 911." It's rumored that road noise has been reduced, but ... what about?

Finally, this video is also! !!

 

It is a test drive review of Porsche 992, Carrera S of Guards Red. Anyway, you can see that running 992 is "it looks fun!" ^^

He said that moving the engine 20 cm forward was a big factor (feeling closer to the midship), and that the 992 was driving and had a GT3-like feeling.

And if this (Carrera S) is the starting point of 992, what will happen with the turbo, turbo S that will come out in the future, and the GT model that follows it = It means that it is too amazing and.

It seems that the 992 is a very satisfying car with too much performance even with the Carrera S. No, I'm really looking forward to it.

The more I look at it, the more I feel attached to 992 ^^
