Porsche 911 (992.2)
2024– · Porsche 911 (992.2) — Sports Car, Flat-6 Twin-Turbo, designed by Michael Mauer.
The Story
The 992.2 is the latest evolution of the 911 — a thorough 2024 facelift that, in Top Gear’s words, makes it simply ‘the definitive sports car.’ Cleaner styling, a digitised dash and push-button start modernise the cabin, while the base Carrera keeps a refined 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six and gains sharper handling, more grip and greater everyday usability. (The headline news sits in its sibling, the new T-Hybrid GTS — but the standard 992.2 Carrera remains the ‘simple-pleasures’ 911, and is better balanced and more capable than ever.) Speedier, grippier and cleaner-looking, with that ‘energy and charisma few can match,’ it’s the most polished base 911 yet — and the current benchmark.
