Porsche recently unveiled the 992.2 911 generation for the 2025 Model year

This is the first-ever production 911 to feature hybrid-tech

But tech YouTuber MKBHD, a.k.a Marques Brownlee is not a fan for a few reasons

He bought a 992.1 911 Turbo S for his 30th Birthday

He swapped out his previous daily driver, the Model S Plaid for the 911 Turbo S

In the six months that he has owned it, MKBHD has already covered over 8,000 miles

He continues to rate it highly and says its his new bench mark for gas-powered sports cars

However, he's not a fan of two things that Porsche has done with the 992.2 facelift

The first is ditching the old twist-and-go style starter for a generic button from the VW parts bin 😒

The second is going with an all-digital driver display, which tries hard to replicate the 911's iconic five-tube instrument cluster 👎

According to Maruqes, no one even really complained about the analog-digital setup on the previous 992.1

Swipe up to find out why Porsche chose to take this route.

Porsche enthusiast & YouTuber ARC Driver spotted a mysterious image on the Porsche cobfigurator.

Rumors point to a base internal combustion Turbo and a Hybrid Turbo S model

The rendering in the configurator follows the profile of the recently unveiled 992.2 Carrera and GTS

The image hints at wider fenders, a turbo intake, and a unique spoiler that integrates into the bodywork

It's unlikely to be purely a Touring model as the rear fender lacks an air intake

We also can't confirm if its a pure Turbo either as they generally have a spoiler that sticks out

Speculation suggests it could be a stripped-down, rear-wheel-drive, manual-transmission Turbo

Another theory is the Turbo S Touring with an integrated rear wing

ARC Driver believes there could be at least four variations of the 992.2 Turbo

The upcoming Turbo will most likely feature the 3.6-liter boxer that debuted on the 992.2 GTS

The Porsche Crest Is As Iconic As The Brand It Represents

The Original Design Was Done By Franz Xaver Reimspiess In 1952

It Has Undergone Several Iterations Over The Decades

The Logo Is Partly Inspired By The Stuttgart City Seal, Which Featured A Rearing Horse

The Logo Has Always Featured The Word Stuttgart, Which Translates To Horse Garden In German

The Red And Black Colors Are Derived From The Crest Of Former West German State Württemberg-Hohenzollern

The Antlers Are Also Derived From The Same Coat Of Arms

To Celebrate 75 Years Of The Brand In 2023, A New Crest Was Unveiled

It Features A Cleaner Aesthetic And Took 3 Years To Redesign

The Noticeable Changes Are A More Bolder Stuttgart Emblem, And Slightly Different Leaping Horse

Porsche Also Unveiled A New Turbo Model Exclusive Crest In Turbonite Grey

Introduction Of The Crest Has Already Begun Towards The End Of 2023

The Modernized Logo Will Gradually Appear On All Upcoming Models

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a high-performance car, not known for its practicality

A recent Reddit post reveals a 911 GT3 RS from Dubai with a roof box

Roof boxes are common on Porsche SUVs and wagons, but unheard of in a GT3 RS

The 992.1 GT3 RS lacks a front trunk (frunk) due to aerodynamic elements

Adding a roof box hurts the GT3RS' performance due to added weight (~ 50 lbs) and aerodynamics

This car has the optional Weissach package that reduces weight, making the roof box somewhat ironic

Could this be the owner's only car, forcing the impractical modification? We Can't confirm it

However, the roof box does make the car stand out, especially for a place like Dubai where even most supercars don't turn heads.
