The new 992 version of the 911 is the most technologically advanced yet but is the regular 385bhp Porsche Carrera actually a better buy than the 450bhp Carrera S? You save £11,500 by going for the regular 911 Carrera over the Carrera S and in this video, I look into which version is the best one to buy.

I have debated this with myself (and others) for years now. I genuinely believe that the best looking Carrera is the simplest base model. No wings, slots, scoops, splitters, nothing.........just let the design speak for itself. Having said that, I think the best looking Carrera of recent years is the 911R from a few years ago - but that was the simplest of 911 design shapes too.

True..The scoops, vents, splitters etc just look daft. I don't think Porsche have made a truly beautiful car since the 993...maybe the 997 4S. This thing to me is another pig of a thing, I cannot stand that rear light.

Great video, Mate! I have to agree, the road noise in most newer 911s is just too much. I own a 991.2 GTS, 7 speed manual. The car is amazing however, my only complaint is tire noise. I replaced the original spec Pirellis with Michelin PS4s shortly after taking delivery, hoping to reduce tire noise but the improvement was barely noticeable. In their long list of options, Porsche should offer the choice to add additional sound insulation to reduce the annoying tire noise. I would have ticked that box for sure! Regarding the 911’s performance focused engine mounts and suspension joints; I don't believe they contribute to road noise, or if they do, it’s insignificant. Those components would lead to firmer road manners and/or ride quality though Porsche now offers dynamic engine mounts to partially address that. I’m pretty sure most of the noise comes from a combination of wide tires and lack of sound deadening. Cheers from Oregon, USA!

@EGMedia1
@EGMedia1 3 года назад
Could it be reduced sound deadening at the rear? Unlocks some engine noise at cost of cabin refinement. I vaguely recall a story many years ago of engineers desperately chasing noise out of a car, then realised that carpeting the boot made a huge difference. Anyway, great point about the mounts/bushes too, that'll also do it. Interesting video content as usual, cheers.
@Navy1348
@Navy1348 3 года назад
Love that you bring up sound deadening at the rear. Very likely culprit. I’d also be curious to see, like Harry mentioned, different tires on the car. I’m assuming that Porsche offers these test cars with winter tires at this time of year. That could be part of the issue as well.

I love that Harry is hammering home about the road noise. I bought a 981 Cayman S 7 years ago, still have it today and love it. However, on poor UK road surfaces it's so obnoxiously loud that it almost spoils everything. I would happily sacrifice some performance for a reduction in the cabin noise. I was actually considering a 992 Carrera as my next car but most certainly won't be buying one if the noise is the same. I know people say that it's a sports car, it shouldn't be quiet. However engine noise is one thing, 80-90db tyre roar on a motorway is just obnoxious and makes it so unpleasant, I'm a one car kind of guy too.

@andrewhurstcars

Looks like they’re reserving the manual in the base model for the future Carrera T. If you’re tracking it then you’re better off with the Carrera S, which has the larger brakes and Porsche Torque Vectoring (not available on the Carrera) which makes a difference.
@MrDallman

I’m 61 now and having owned a string of 911s , the last one being a 991.1 GTS , I totally agree with you ...the cabin noise is very intrusive and you notice it more as the years mature. I have changed from Porsche now and have bought a Maserati Granturismo 4.7 sport , another of your past cars, and I have to say ...” what a car “ the exhaust note, the presence and then there is the way it looks .....I was always Porsche but I’m now firmly in the Maserati camp....every drive is an occasion. Brilliant review as always Harry ...cheers.
@JR-ut2ne
@JR-ut2ne 3 года назад
I think the fact that the base Carrera isn't available with a manual transmission is down to emission regulations. Car manufactures have to pay more money to the EU if their fleet is above a specific CO2 limit. A manual car is less fuel efficient than a PDK car and thus they would have to pay more money to the EU. A base Carrera would probably be quite popular as a manual and therefore this would significantly impact their fleet CO2 emissions.

The absolute BEST thing to do, would be to GET RID of these filthy, lying TYRANTS you’ve voted in over there! This whole “Global Warming” alarmism is a complete and total LIE!!! Man is not responsible for ANY global warming. ZERO. REAL scientists (not the paid, activists employed by the grifters who love to raise your taxes), ALL state MAN, has nothing to do with (they call it ‘Climate Change’ now, to better fit the narrative…Remember when they told us an ICE AGE was coming??) this Climate Change narrative. The SUN, is mostly responsible. And Earth is CYCLICAL. It’s called WEATHER. The only difference nowadays, is today we have GRIFTERS called MARXISTS, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, FASCISTS, all vying for higher taxes to line their pockets with. It’s all about CONTROL, and control is POWER. It’s sad that I have to tell this to ADULTS. You all should have the wisdom to know all this, but you people question NOTHING!!!! You hear it from your MASTERS, the liars on the evening news, or the papers, or movies, or WHATEVER…And you question NOTHING. Look at you! You took an EXPERIMENTAL injection SEVERAL TIMES, to rid yourselves of the IMAGINARY “C19”…Which turned out to be THE FLU!!!!! Haha! What about your “vaccine”??? Aren’t THOSE supposed to prevent??? Did it??? NO!!! How many did you take???? SEVERAL!! COME ON!!! WAKE UP!!!!! It’s ALL BS, and you are dangerous as THEY are for not QUESTIONING OBVIOUS LIES!!!! Jeez! There’s no “climate change”, outside of normal weather patterns… But THEY are spraying chemicals from jets, so if there is anything happening to our climate, it’s being done DELIBERATELY by those who are whining incessantly about it for the last 50 years…So, maybe LOOK UP, and notice what was a bright and clear blue sky in the early morning, then the jets fly high and mark up your sky, those trails EXPAND 50x, and before you know it, the sky is filled with that UGLY, grayish-yellow haze…. But NO!!!! The GRIFTERS would NEVER do THAAA-AAAAT!!!! Hahaha!!!!

Hi Harry, hope you are keeping well. For me the 911 has always been the most beautiful car. And i can't see past the base model every time. In white it's a real work of art. Cabin noise? More sound insulation. As you've tested it here, this is my perfect car. Unfortunately me and my friend Arthritis probably couldn't get in or out of this beauty these days, so thanks for sharing.

We learned traction was a privilege not a right which ingrains zero panic when you lose a little. Harry your about ten years older than me and a hell of an inspiration! Don't ever slow down when you know you have the goods to keep it together! Your 100% logical, pragmatic reviews seasoned 6+ decades or real experience are soooo needed in this day of us U-tubers suffering through dozens of wanta-bee up start Journalists competing on the maximum car guy cliches they can work into a review.

Great video thanks for posting. A while back I test drove a 997 turbo and loved it. It had the wider tires but didn't notice excessive loud tire roar/road noise. Since I liked the wide body but not the price I went with the 997 4s. Great car and really enjoyed it except for one thing: it was very loud in the cabin :) The tire roar was the problem with apparently less sound deadening inside (vs the turbo model).Years later I am now thinking about getting a 997 (my favorite series 911) in the turbo spec...

Thank you very much for the noise measurements. When you first got onto the road I was thinking "man this sounds noisy, but it might just be the recording position or something". But yes, the measurements don't lie - this IS f*ing noisy. Tells you something about the rest of the car reviewers too, since nobody ever mentions this.

One thing to not is that at least in the USA there is a sound insulating glass option that is stated to reduce wing and tire noise. Would be interested to know if you testers had that option.

@ 2:03, not that it makes much difference, but the rear is 295/35, not the 295/40 as quoted. I always try to chose the base model rim/tyre package as they are more compliant on craggled roads.

Great review and food for thought, Harry. Shame your videos are spoilt by the intrusive and annoying RU-vid ads, though.

Sorted. I forgot to 'manage mid-roll ads' as RU-vid now allows you to do. They had somehow stuffed 4 ad breaks in to a 17min video, with the first one arriving just 3min 46secs in! I've deleted that one and then another ad break near the end. Thanks for letting me know!

I know what you mean, as I like a more rough and ready feel and a manual shift isn't such a huge issue. Is this all for the American market? I suppose one bonus is that it results in more concentration on the road?

Harry you certainly make the best videos. Very honest. 911 is my favourite car of all time and I am hoping to purchase one next year. Budget of 50k sadly

Great review. Shame about the cabin noise, that would irritate me right away. There’s something nice and satisfying about a good base model particularly in a line up with so many options. Thanks

Not sure why they don't have some sort of noise cancellation trickery with the sound system (just like NC headphones). It could just cancel out the road noise frequencies.

good to see smaller wheels - wheels have gotten too big. it's terrible that there is so much cabin noise. I can't stand that! Porsche needs to resolve that cabin noise issue.
