Surround view camera is standard equipment on the new Porsche 911 Carrera S / Carrera 4S

Front camera of the new Porsche 911 (992)

The photo was taken from the internet, but it is the new Porsche 911 and Aventurine green color 992 Carrera S that were exhibited at the 2019 Chicago Motor Show in the United States.

The "front camera" that I noticed for the first time when I saw this picture. This is ↓ The yellow circle.

I felt that there were many models that did not come with this at the time of the announcement so far, and I thought that it was probably an optional equipment.

Standard equipment situation of back camera in the United States and the United Kingdom

First of all, regarding the back camera (rear camera), regarding this new Porsche 992,

It seems that it is. This seems to be the same condition for Carrera 4S respectively.

After all, there are differences in what is standard equipment included in the vehicle body price depending on the country. Certainly, the laws and regulations differ from country to country, so I think it's more difficult to sell them under the same conditions.

And as for the standard equipment of back cameras overseas, for example, in the United States, "park assist back camera" is standard equipment, but "surround view (360) park assist". , "Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)" is an option.

Surround view camera is standard equipment in Japan

When this happens, what is worrisome is "what is the standard equipment in Japan?" Is the back camera standard equipment? ?? Is it an option after all? ??

I immediately took a look at the configurator. And a surprising discovery.

No, I was a little surprised. I hope this is not Porsche's notation mistake. ?? Is it okay ^^?

I'm worried about it ... because that's right. In Japan

"For both Carrera S and Carrera S Cabriolet, Park Assist (front and rear) with surround view camera is standard equipment."

And that.

e? !! Is it with a surround view camera? Is it standard equipment? ?? really? ?? Is it an option in the UK or US? ??

However, in fact, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, and each cabriolet also come out as "standard equipment".

By the way, in the current Porsche 911 (late 991), even Carrera S, Carrera S Cabriolet, and Park Assist (rear camera) are not standard equipment but optional, so it is a big leap from that point of view? Suddenly equipped with surround view.

Even in Japan's 992, adaptive cruise control was an optional equipment on all of the Carrera S, Carrera 4S, and Carrera S / Carrera 4S Cabriolet (option price: 277,000 yen).

What I see is Porsche Japan'sInformation that can be confirmed on the configurator(As of February 18, 2019). And when I recall,992 Press release about cabrioletHowever, it seems that the surround view camera was also written as standard equipment! Wow, it was true.

So, if we keep going like this, will the 992 Carrera S / Carrera 4S that can be purchased in Japan and their cabriolets come with cameras on the front and rear as standard equipment?

Position of 992 license plate with front camera

So there is one question again. A radar and a camera may come in the middle of such a front, so in this case ... Where and how do you attach a large Japanese license plate? ??

Even now, I feel that cars with a front camera are numbered a little higher, but with 992, it seems that even if you raise it, it will rise considerably? Or do you want to put it down? ??

↓ This is Carrera 4S of 991.2, but if you do not install the license plate more than this, it looks like 992 is useless.

Surprisingly, I wonder if many people will choose not to use the front camera. Hmm? ??
