The 992.2 Carrera S is highly anticipated and these 5 features are what Porsche 911 enthusiasts want
The 992.2 update began rolling out in May 2024 and the Carrera S trim was the latest to get the .2 update. Here's what we got and what we are missing
5. A distinctive look. The 992.1 Carrera and Carrera S looked identical except for the badging
The 992.2 Carrera S unfortunately
continues this trend
The recently introdcued 992.2 Carrera T for example introduced some bold new colors and wheel designs along with a beach-wood shifter, that is unique to the model
4. All-wheel drive. The 992.2 Carrera S continues the trend of rear-wheel-drive-only
The Carrera S has been offered with a choice of RWD or AWD as it has been for the last 20 years. Perhaps a C4S is coming soon?
3. Analog gauges. The 992.2 update introduces a full digital instrument cluster, featuring the classic 5-gauge design.
At the very least, an analog rev-counter would have been nice for the 992.2 Carrera S as it is the focal point of the instrument cluster
2. A non-hybrid powertrain. The 992.2 Carrera S got this one right. It now packs 992.1 GTS power output
A non-hybrid engine would keep the weight down by some 110 pounds
Not going hybrid keeps the Carrera S price and performance right in-between the base Carrera and the GTS
1. A manual transmission. Currently, the Carrera T and GT3 models are the only 992.2 variants to give you the option of a six-speed manual. 992.2 Carrera S is PDK-only
Bringing back the seven-speed manual would have made the 992.2 Carrera S stand out even more
