The 992.2 GT3 Touring will set you back $222,500 before options and it's very easy to get it up to $300k

The price difference between the 992.2 Carrera T and GT3 Touring is a Porsche 718 with a few options

Carrera T features the base model's engine, but with a few important bits, including the 6-speed manual and mechanical LSD

The GT3 Touring's normally-aspirated engine revs to 9,000 RPM. It can be mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK

Similar interiors, but the GT3 Touring has a bit more options

Rear seats are optional on both models, but free of charge

The Carrera T is also available as a convertible, which costs an additional $13,300

The most lightweight Carrera T you can get - 3,285 pounds - 66 pounds less than the base Carrera

The Carrera T Cabriolet's extra bits result in a curb weight of 3,483 pounds

The GT3 Touring is more powerful and weighs less - 3,223 pounds (3,260 for the PDK)

The Carrera T is not a numbers car, but 0-60 mph still happens in 4.3 seconds

Despite the same torque, the lighter, more powerful GT3 Touring sprints to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds

Both the Carrera T and GT3 Touring feature model-specific looks

The GR Supra and 992.2 Carrera may be light years apart when it comes to pricing but are similar in more ways than you think

The Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera starts at $120,100

The Toyota GR Supra starts at $56,250

With 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, the 911 has more power, but less torque, at least on paper

The GR Supra is powered by the B58 engine, which is rated at 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet

The GR Supra also gives you the option of a 6-speed manual

In 2024, more than half the GR Supras sold were manual

Entering the 911 Carrera is an occasion You still get classic touches like the 5-gauge instrument cluster and LeMans-style key position

Both the 992.2 Carrera and GR Supra are rear-wheel drive and they both sprint to 60 mph in roughly the same time (when both are automatic)

Timeless looks. The 992.2 shape has evolved, but not changed. It's still relatively compact and lightweight

A comprehensive array of optional equipment, including the HD Matrix LED headlights

The GR Supra design will not age as well and the fake vents are off-putting

With only 2 seats, the GR Supra is also less-practical, but features easy access to the rear cargo area

The GR Supra interior is well-built, but a bit too Germanic for a JDM icon

This could be the last Supra with a 6-cylinder engine as the next generation is, reportedly, going to be a 4-cylinder hybrid

Meanwhile, the 911 lineup is gradually being electrified due to strict emissions. Will the next Carrera continue to be non-hybrid?

Swipe up for more details on how these 2 iconic sports cars compare.

In this head-2-head of old-school modern, find out how the analog 911 GT1, compares to the latest hybridized supercar from Ferrari, the F80

A homologation special for FIA GT1 racing, the GT1 is like no other 911

The GT1 is motivated by a Mezger engine - the M96/80, propelling it to over 190 mph, with some claiming more

The only mid-engine 911 features a steel tubular frame with mostly carbon-fiber body

The Porsche 911 GT1 Street packs 544 horsepower and 443 pound-feet, along with a 6-speed manual

The Ferrari F80 is a tech fest on wheels that sparked a lot of controversy

The Ferrari F80 features 2 electric motors, each powering the front wheels

The Ferrari F80 packs a combined power output of 1,184 horsepower

The F80 features an F1-inspired interior and a driver seat in a different color

Production of the Ferrari F80 is 799 examples, each costing $4.0 million

But the Porsche 911 GT1 Street is even rarer - just 25 road-going examples. The last time a GT1 went on sale, it was for $7.045 million

Most examples of the GT1 Street were finished in Arctic Gray and featured the 996 headlights

The 911 GTS traces its origins back to the mid-2000s and was first introduced with the 997 generation

Within the 911 lineup, the GTS symbolizes a balance between Carrera usability and GT3 performance

The latest Porsche 992.2 GTS has sparked debate due to its hybrid powertrain, with some viewing it as a betrayal of the GTS badge and others as a leap into the future

The 992.2 GTS debuts a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged hybrid powertrain called the T-Hybrid system, integrating a mild hybrid with an e-motor for a combined 532 horsepower

There are some fundamental differences between Porsche's T-Hybrid and E-Hybrid systems

Unlike the E-Hybrid that gives you the flexibility of an EV mode, the T-Hybrid system prioritizes performance

In place of a turbocharger, you now get an e-motor that eliminates turbo lag and boosts efficiency. It also acts as a generator recuperating energy into a 1.9 kWh battery pack

There's a second electric motor inside the 8-speed PDK that delivers 54 horsepower and 10 pound-feet of torque, drawing power from that high-voltage battery pack

This hybrid system enhances performance with minimal weight gain, adding just over 100 pounds compared to the non-hybrid 911 GTS

With a time of 7:16, The hybrid GTS has outperformed the non-hybrid 992.1 Turbo S on the Nürburgring by one second, showcasing its performance potential

Critics claim the 992.2 GTS sacrifices traditional 911 characteristics, and an analog feel, for technological advancements

Tuning possibilities are limited due to the complexity of the hybrid system and the lack of a wastegate, reducing customization potential compared to earlier models. Another issue is a slightly different sound profile compared to the old twin-turbo setup

Purists lament the lack of a manual transmission, as the e-motor integration in the PDK transmission eliminates this option

Design changes, such as vertical active vents, have been called conservative, and the interior now features an all-digital dash, and the omission of the Le Mans Style shifter for a start/stop button

Starting at $164,000, the 992.2 GTS is $14,000 more expensive than the outgoing model

But it’s not all bad news. Reviews from outlets like Evo and Car and Driver praise the 992.2 GTS for its usability and breadth of abilities

So, where does the 992.2 GTS fit in? It’s heavier, more expensive, and arguably less emotive than its predecessors.

The hybrid system is polarizing, no doubt, and its long-term reliability remains an open question.

What do you think about the Porsche 992.2 GTS?

Porsche has done several concept cars over the decades, but here's what makes these 5, some of the most obscure ones ever

5. Porsche 965: Back in 1984, Porsche was developing a very different Porsche 911 Turbo

This 911 Turbo almost became V-8-powered. Some engines were considered, including a Mezger V-8 racing unit

The 965 resembled a 959, but was meant to be slotted under it. Financial difficulties killed the project

4. 1988 Porsche 989: It was the grandfather of the Panamera but wasn't the first time Porsche built a four-door sedan

The 989's fate was tied to the 928, which was axed due to slow sales

3. 1988 Porsche 969: This was a sports car designed to be the evolution of the 959 supercar

The Porsche 969 was meant to have more power than the 959 S' 508 horsepower. It would have carried most of the 959's tech over. A PDK was to be introduced too

2. Porsche Pajun: Back in 2015, Porsche was working on this scaled-down Panamera. It was postponed and eventually, we got the all-electric Taycan

1. Porsche C88: In the 1990s, Porsche were commissioned by the Chinese government to make an affordable vehicle for the masses. They ended up copying the design

It was powered by a 1.1-liter flat-4 and featured a 5-speed manual

In 2024, Porsche transitioned its best-selling Macan into the electric era, introducing the Macan Electric

Tesla recently unveiled the refreshed Model Y, codenamed "Juniper," and received 50,000 orders within the first day

The Macan Electric's 100 kWh battery (95 kWh net) supports 800-volt architecture for DC charging at up to 270 kW, reaching 80% charge in 21 minutes

The Tesla Model Y's 80 kWh battery enables DC charging at up to 250 kW, leveraging Tesla's Supercharger network for convenience

The 2025 Porsche Macan Electric features a single rear-mounted motor, producing 355 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, with rear-wheel drive

The 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range utilizes a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, generating 384 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque

The Macan Electric incorporates advanced chassis features like adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering (optional), and regenerative braking

The Model Y focuses on practicality and technology with standard dual-motor AWD, regenerative braking, and independent suspension. The Model Y is also available with full-self driving

The Macan Electric boasts Porsche's signature design, with its signature four-point LED headlights

Tesla's refreshed Model Y includes a modernized exterior with new bumpers, light bars

You get truly a luxurious interior with leather upholstery, a 12.6-inch driver display, and a 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen

The Model Y Juniper gets a minimalist interior featuring a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and an 8.0-inch rear display

Pricing starts at $77,295 for the Porsche Macan Electric

The Tesla Model Y Long Range starts at $45,000

Both vehicles offer over 300 miles of range, but Tesla's advanced battery management and heat pump give it an edge in cold climates

2025 will mark the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R, so how does it stack up against the latest Porsche 911?

At $120,100, the base 992.2 Carrera is your entry into the Porsche 911 lineup for 2025

With a starting MSRP of $121,090, the Nissan GT-R seems to be representing a much better value for money, on paper

Porsche offers a revised variant of its latest 911 generation, dating back to 2019

Despite constant revisions, the Nissan GT-R remains fundamentally the same since 2008

Despite a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera is heavily outgunned by Godzilla

But thanks to high grip levels and a PDK transmission, the 992.2 Carrera still manages a 3.9-second to 60 mph

Meanwhile, the GT-R sprints to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and the more expensive NISMO can do 2.5 if conditions allow it

The GT-R's DCT transmission only has 6 gears and is slightly slower and less-refined than the 8-speed PDK

On the other hand, the VR38 DETT is a legendary powerhouse, capable of insane numbers

Inside, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera features a high-quality interior with a fully digital, but retro-inspired instrument cluster

The 4-way adjustable Sport seats are good enough, but for anything else, Porsche will charge you extra

Despite the last major revision in 2017, the Nissan GT-R interior still feels outdated compared to the 911

However, the Nissan is much more generous in terms of standard equipment. There isn't a whole lot you can add

While not traditional rivals, there is one area where the BMW M4 CS and the latest Porsche 911 Carrera are comprable. Price.

At $120,100, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera can save you over $3,500 compared to the BMW M4 CS, but...

You are getting an entry-level 911 vs a range-topping, limited-edition M4

The rear-engine layout allows any 911 to take off like no other car

However, there is a 154-horsepower difference in favor of the M4 CS, which is also AWD

At the push of a button, the M4 CS can switch to rear-wheel-drive

Whereas the 992.2 Carrera is rear-wheel-drive-only as we no longer have a Carrera 4 model on the base trim

The 911 Carrera can also be had as a convertible while the BMW M4 CS is coupe-only

The 911's 3.0-liter flat-6 "only" makes 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, but the car weighs 595 pounds less than the M4 CS

Porsche's comprehensive configurator is rich on optional equipment, even for the base 911 Carrera

But in the range-topping BMW M4 CS, you get a lot of standard equipment

The BMW M4 CS's FR layout makes it the more practical sports car and even the rear seats are usable

Despite digitalization, the 911 interior is just as classically correct as the exterior, but it does feature a smaller infotainment screen compared to the BMW

The BMW M4 CS packs near-supercar levels of performance and could be a future classic

But the 911 has always been a classic, and the only choice for a Porsche enthusiast

Porsche has just taken the wraps of the 992.2 Carrera S for 2025, available in coupe and cabriolet body styles

When Porsche introduced the Carrera S in ’05, the idea was to offer a more potent version of the base Carrera with more power better suspension, and bigger brakes

The Carrera S occupied a sweet spot between the base model and the more powerful and expensive Carrera GTS, which is something that continues to this day

The 992.1 Carrera S, that was introduced in 2019 and here's how it compares to the latest 992.2 model

Porsche has enhanced the 3.0-liter flat six engine to deliver 473 horsepower (30 more than before), which is the same as the outgoing GTS

Here's how the 2025 Carrera S stacks up in terms of power compared to the rest of the 992.2 model lineup

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S is currently available with rear-wheel drive, with an all-wheel-drive variant expected to join the lineup soon

The all-wheel-drive variant of the 992.2 Carrera S should offer improved traction, particularly in adverse weather conditions, improving year-round usability

In the 2025 992.2 Carrera S, Porsche has discontinued the manual option, offering only the 8-speed PDK transmission

You may want to look at the cheaper manual-only Carrera T instead, if you’re looking for a stick with a 992 or alternatively, the more expensive GT3 Touring

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S can get to 60 in just 3.1 seconds, once again with the Sport Chrono Package—a 0.2-second improvement

The 2025 Carrera S comes generously equipped with standard features. The braking system has been upgraded, with discs from the outgoing GTS (16 inches up front, 15 inches at the rear)

Here's a closer look at the most noteworthy standard equipment on the 992.2 Carrera S

Performance-focused features remain intact, including Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+). Updated dampers have been optimized for both spirited drives and everyday comfort

For those looking to further enhance their Carrera S, Porsche offers several enticing options

The Front-Axle Lift System is a practical option, providing added peace of mind by allowing the front of the car to be raised to clear obstacles

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S retains the iconic 911 silhouette but introduces subtle updates

At the rear, design cues similar to the 992.2 GT3 Touring are present, including updated reflectors and rear bumper design, while maintaining the oval exhaust outlets

Stepping inside, there’s expanded use of leather. The Exclusive Manufaktur Leather Interior ($15k) offers up to 48 two-tone combinations

Additionally, the standard two-seat configuration can be expanded. If you want, rear seats can be added at no extra cost

You now get an all-digital instrument panel replacing the traditional analog tachometer and a start-stop button instead of the Le Mans style twist-to-start

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe starts at $146,400. A 15k premium over the 992.1 Carrera S. Here's how the Carrera S compares to other 992.2 models
