Given the looming hybridization of the 992.2 and the debates about steering-by-wire, I'm left nostalgic for the pure, analog feel of Porsches of former times. 🚗💨 However, looking at the Taycan, there's hope Porsche can marry technology and emotion seamlessly. Fingers crossed the 992 GT2 lives up to the legacy! 🤞🏼 Anyone else missing the raw connection of older Porsches but also intrigued by the future? 🔥🛣 #PorscheEvolution
One thing everyone forgets is that young people today don’t care about cars very much, especially not ICE cars. So if these companies want to stay in business in the long run, they will have to adapt and change to appeal to future generations. Those of us who love the sound of an ICE 911 won’t live forever and sooner than later we will retire. Heck, when I ride past teenagers these days on my loud amazing Ducati, not one looks. The young generation couldn’t care less about this stuff, they can’t be bothered to even look up from whatever is on their phones. When I was a teen, seeing a bike like mine go past making its sweet sound would be the best thing I saw that day lol.
People wouldn't mind EV sports cars if companies went with the Hyundai approach and embraced EV rather than send the message "We know EV's kinda suck, but look, it's kinda like an ICE. Sort of." where Hyundai with the Ioniq 5 N doesn't pretend it's a fake ICE car and just goes "This is a cool fun sports EV." compare it with an electric 500 Abarth or something? That thing is a joke in comparison.
I'd be down for electric 911s if that would help shrink the size again. Maybe they could put the batteries and therefore the weight at the back to keep the 911 DNA
The biggest change is going to be how those of us that enjoy three pedals and manual transmissions are going to feel about the move to electrification. And it's dreaded impact on the driving experience.
Most younger generations don’t know how to drive a manual, and it looks like, sadly, the manual is going away soon. I see posts saying they hate manual, it’s sad… most of them aren’t old enough to drive yet, and have no clue how amazing a manual can be, let alone a lightweight, nimble sports car, and they get stuck on 0-60 times and can’t understand from the stat sheet that EVs corner like boats… I’m probs a dinosaur to these kids at 39 years old 😂
Porsches are amazing, and I'm excited for the future. I just picked up a Taycan GTS and it is substantially better than any EV I test drove. It has Porsche's suspension tuning and driver-focused feel. It has minimal "EV" throttle issues (I HATE Tesla's throttle feel). I'm shocked by how much I love the car, and I've mainly driven the Taycan since I picked it up. It is night and day compared to the Tesla Model S. The Lucid Air is much better than the Tesla, but it's no Porsche.
I had a Taycan and got rid of it after 5 months. Compared to my prior 911's it's completely numb, overweight and lifeless. But some do enjoy it, but I couldn't wait to get another 911, now have a 992 T w/ manual. And the Taycan depreciation is ghastly.
Never thought an electric car could have much emotion too it, but I saw an all satin black Taycan on the road yesterday and it just had so much presence to it.
I saw more Tycans in Europe than I saw more 911's (and I rode over 1,000 miles in Germany), they do look very good for an electric car. The crazy thing is I see more Porsche 911s in one day in America than I saw in nearly a month in Central Europe (I rode a motorcycle through 8 different countries). I didn't see a single Lamborghini, or Ferrari.....the most exotic car I saw was a 911 GT3 RS at a dealership in Sweden. It seems like the sport/exotic car scene is dead in Europe, granted I didn't make it to the Alps or Italy due to weather.
Excellent video. Every chance I get I rev my little 3.4L Carrera to redline while I still can, BUT at 40 years of age I have a lot of life left in me and I look forward to the blistering performance machines that Porsche will develop over the next decade. The cars are not getting any slower, quite the opposite and Porsche seems to be fully aware of what their customers yearn for. Once in the seat of something new most people quickly forget about their nostalgic principles and embrace what they now have.
I’m not as optimistic as you (at 39yo)… I don’t want fast… I want FUN, and engagement, and until solid state or some jump in battery tech starts to handle the (pun intended) elephant in the room… weight, I think that cars that are blisteringly fast are only good at getting you out in jail faster. The old adage rings true: “it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow” If you only get one second of fun before you’re at lose-your-license speeds, what’s the fun in that? Stats are cool, but you’ll be constantly feathering the gas pedal trying to PREVENT the car from doing exactly what it’s designed for…
I actually just sold my 992.1 GTS, which I tuned and put a catless exhaust on, it was good for 630+ hp and 585ft-lbs torque, basically a lighter weight Turbo S. It was fun for a week, but it gets old quick sadly… maybe it’s just me. There weren’t many places to actually use all that power safely, and I was constantly trying to not use the power because (at least in CA) there’s a lot of other cars on the road 🤷🏽♂️
So you’re not anticipating that 992.2 will see mild hybridization across the range? Certainly with the 994 there will be some level of hybridization based on test mules seen on the Nurburgring, but my $$ is on 992.2 seeing mild hybrids in everything except the base model and the GT cars. We shall see!
Lots of Porsche buyer do not like Electric Car, We want traditional Gasoline car. People buy porsche big reason is its style and beautiful outlook. But Porsche can improve interior look too, Not mostly is black color, Its too boring. Mercedes Benz interior design is good , Porsche can make interior better look . Automatic transmission is popular for ordinary people like us. Not every one is like racing& speed for the car, We did not drive fast. ^^.

Thanks for sharing. I have heard that in Oz, the 992.2 GT3 will not be available in a manual as Porsche state that they will not be able to met our new road standards being introduced in 24 or 25?
Steer-by-wire is one of the worst ideas anybody could possibly ever come up with. You're driving down the highway doing 70 and your power goes out... How do you steer?
Redundancy is the magic word. It works in many other areas as well. It has double-designed motors, circuits and also power supplies. Don't worry, there are professionals who have been working on this for years and have a lot of engineering experience. In aviation, by the way, this has also been around for many years, or do you think that all the flight maneuvers are still controlled by the pilot with mechanical linkages? Ofc not! And we are talking about the safest means of transportation here.
Braking and steering by wire - well, there goes brake feel and steering feedback. 994 GT models losing the current N/A power plant is like having the patriach of the family die... A total disaster and no amount of Turbo power can make up for it. It's such a dangerous decade ahead for lovers of sports cars.
You can make feedback with steer by wire. You need to have an electric motor at the steering wheel which will apply torque and vibration based on road feedback. That would allow to adjust feedback when necessary, imagine feeling every grain and have strong feedback in sport mode, and then have relaxing steering in comfort mode. I hope they won't make steer by wire without introducing feedback, that would be epic fail for a sportscar.
For sure, but It's completely artificial and first filtered through a computer. It will always play second fiddle to a good rack and pinion setup, IMHO.
Porsche abandoned manual steering racks long ago, and electric or even hydraulic steering take away from steering feel. I think steer by wire have a potential being better than other power steering options, at least theoretically. How will it be in practice who knows, I hope engineers know what they are doing. Everything is kinda artificial if you want to be philosophical about it, no solid it truly "solid" as atoms are held together by electromagnetic forces, and everything you feel is filtered through "computer" inside your head. So I'm fine with controls by wire if they feel good.@@dra911
I love the way sheeple will quote all the positives: Porsche is dedicated to quality and innovation blah blah, but not dare to mention the single most important thing at Porsche, the factor that reigns supreme - profitability. For those of us who have a few Porsches, it’s the single biggest factor that ensures while they save money during manufacture, we have to fork our shed loads of it during ownership.
Can porsche just make the GT3 4.0 Liters not flipped to infinitely and beyond and produce way more of them? What happened to "the every man's track toy" statement? GT3s are worth 2x than they were before, that's even accounting for adjusted market prices
Recent styling with it’s crazy size gain is a very rare fail for Porsche. The fact they’re defensive about it speaks volumes. I see lots of latest model Porsches in S. Fla, perhaps it’s largest market, and I don’t recall ever being so turned off by the 911 with its inexplicable fat. Time for a change.
Porsche’s core values? I thought the defining qualities of Porsche were light weight, simple and robust mechanical systems, and excellent handling. Modern cars feel disposable to me, bloated with tech, bigger and heavier with each successive generation: very un-Porsche. Sure, Porsche is better than most but I am not interested in trading my car every two years like a cellphone just to keep up with technology.
Yup, thus making it carbon neutral. Price is surprising low too considering Porsche is the only one making them. Supply and demand will make it cheaper in the future hopefully.
Why not just make it a full EV for performance and ease of production. Then just a really loud simulated engine noise and big exhaust pipes to fool people.
If you want to buy an electric car then do it because you simply want something different. Don't you dare give me any "green" nonsense. First of all Plants literally eat CO2 for food. Getting rid of all CO2 in the air means the death of every single living organism on Earth. Your EV car or truck will use and consume FAR greater amounts of fossil fuels than my Ford F150 ever will. Exponentially more. Just because your not filling up with gas at a gas station doesn't mean anything. My Truck has like 4 catalytic converters on it. Emission regulations have become VERY strict and most cars today are very clean. Your battery pack for your EV was first mined as raw Lithium and Cobalt by African slaves in the Communist Chinese mineral slave labor camps in W Africa. The area for hundreds of miles had to have all water sources dammed off because guess what? Lithium explodes upon contact with water. So now Africans who already struggle with disease, and lack of fresh water, NOW have all their streams and local water sources destroyed. Then the raw ore has to travel by ship that uses insane amounts of fuel to get it back to gigantic processing stations in China. Each Battery making plant uses so much energy they have to have their own COAL burning power plant just to power the battery making plant. Then all the toxic waste from separating all these extremely harmful cancer causing alkali metals are carried back to Africa, again by ship and are then dumped by the thousands of Tons into the local areas in Africa. Tens of thousands of tons of literal toxic waste just dumped off into local African villages. ALL of that is just to make the battery. We now have to figure out a way to charge hundreds of millions of EV cars every single day. Where exactly are we getting all this extra power from? We can't keep up with demand as it is and have to have our dirty coal burning plants working nonstop just to keep the lights on. ESPECIALLY in areas where idiots have tried to replace everything with low energy windmills. How are y'all doing Germany? Look I'm all for EV if its just to have something different. But this whole I'm going green thing? Nope, your actually causing 10x the amount of pollution.
No electric, tks. At this exact time here the radio is sending out a new advertisement talking about a new diesel fuel from renewables that will be offered at .1 Euros less than the fossil fuel one till the end of the year. So, no need for electrics that are present in someones dreams only. It's not 600kgs atteries the answer.
It’s simple just call it something else other than 911, cause I will never buy an electric car! My 996.2 will last forever but I would like to have a newer one also some day.
That 998 concept is gorgeous but Hopefully they come out with a better power source than electric before 2032 one that actual combusts and makes sound and does extort labor from poor countries to get lithium and other natural resources to make batteries
What a horrible direction, I miss the time when cars were getting better and more exciting. Now they trie to steer, to brake, to put the wiper on, tu put the high beams on, they start with a button only for me to forget the damn key in the cup holders, you can't see shit in most of modern cars.. and now they got porsche too
an electric 911 would NOT be a 911. Stuttgart can stop after creating a 992 Hybrid as that would then permit the 911 to annihilate a Tesla Plaid (and maybe even a Sapphire) but if you want a Porsche EV then just buy a Taycan. i've driven one, while there's no hiding the mass, Porsche's racing know-how means it works great.
@7ludi SUCK IT ELON...!!! (your Plaid is going down). we just had a field of 50 cars (both Import and Domestic) at World Cup Finals all of which easily beat the best EV's. so if you're not running into the 7, 6, and 5 second range in the 1/4 Mile (which neither the Plaid nor Sapphire can pull off) then laymen, rubes, and fanboys needn't bother showing up, as this is for PROS only.
Almost all hybrids are flukes. Only those which charges on the go are worth looking in to. Plugin hybrids are 2 steps backwards. Nobody wants to both fill gas AND charge on long drives. Its sad that porsche has decided to take that path.
well alll volkswagen as to do , is putt a 911 body on its car and sell it for 25 k euro and call it golf 911 .....and you end up with this car show in this video. it will be very interesting to see fiat 500 abarth electric outpace 911 electric on track and autobahn
Electric Porsche. Rip the heart out of an awesome car and call it progress. Until cars can produce their own electricity, this will remain a screwed up idea.
@@-forg 30 years from now, there won't be any electric vehicles... There is only enough minerals to build batteries for 1% of the population....The wealthiest 1%....Who are also the only people "worried" about the global warming catastrophe....The one that is not happening and is the figment of people's overactive imagination...

E-fuels are complete pipe dream. They will not be cost competitive relative to performance.
@@jamesfynnhere6983 not everyone will be able to afford them at first. Big deal. Progress will go on.
The reason why the 911 is growing in popularity is that its the only TRUE ICE sports car Porsche has left! Most people DONT WANT AN EV sports car

Emission regulations have become VERY strict and most cars today are very clean. Your battery pack for your EV was first mined as raw Lithium and Cobalt by African slaves in the Communist Chinese mineral slave labor camps in W Africa. The area for hundreds of miles had to have all water sources dammed off because guess what? Lithium explodes upon contact with water. So now Africans who already struggle with disease, and lack of fresh water, NOW have all their streams and local water sources destroyed. Then the raw ore has to travel by ship that uses insane amounts of fuel to get it back to gigantic processing stations in China. Each Battery making plant uses so much energy they have to have their own COAL burning power plant just to power the battery making plant. Then all the toxic waste from separating all these extremely harmful cancer causing alkali metals are carried back to Africa, again by ship and are then dumped by the thousands of Tons into the local areas in Africa. Tens of thousands of tons of literal toxic waste just dumped off into local African villages. ALL of that is just to make the battery. We now have to figure out a way to charge hundreds of millions of EV cars every single day. Where exactly are we getting all this extra power from? We can't keep up with demand as it is and have to have our dirty coal burning plants working nonstop just to keep the lights on. ESPECIALLY in areas where idiots have tried to replace everything with low energy windmills. How are y'all doing Germany? Look I'm all for EV if its just to have something different. But this whole I'm going green thing? Nope, your actually causing 10x the amount of pollution.
Couldnt say it better myself, two thubs up
If we disobey Charles Schwab from world economic forum, we can still have petrol
No electric, tks. At this exact time here the radio is sending out a new advertisement talking about a new diesel fuel from renewables that will be offered at .1 Euros less than the fossil fuel one till the end of the year. So, no need for electrics that are present in someones dreams only. It's not 600kgs atteries the answer.
Cool
It’s simple just call it something else other than 911, cause I will never buy an electric car! My 996.2 will last forever but I would like to have a newer one also some day.
That 998 concept is gorgeous but Hopefully they come out with a better power source than electric before 2032 one that actual combusts and makes sound and does extort labor from poor countries to get lithium and other natural resources to make batteries
Same I like that 998’s styling but this woke EV bs needs to go.
In the last few months, EV has really stumbled in sales. Dealer lots are full of them. I wonder if we see all of the EV car plans starting to shift.
What a horrible direction, I miss the time when cars were getting better and more exciting. Now they trie to steer, to brake, to put the wiper on, tu put the high beams on, they start with a button only for me to forget the damn key in the cup holders, you can't see shit in most of modern cars.. and now they got porsche too
an electric 911 would NOT be a 911. Stuttgart can stop after creating a 992 Hybrid as that would then permit the 911 to annihilate a Tesla Plaid (and maybe even a Sapphire) but if you want a Porsche EV then just buy a Taycan. i've driven one, while there's no hiding the mass, Porsche's racing know-how means it works great.
The hybrid 911 will be nowhere near the Plaid or Saphire in a drag race but it's faster around a track but that's already the case anyway
@7ludi SUCK IT ELON...!!! (your Plaid is going down). we just had a field of 50 cars (both Import and Domestic) at World Cup Finals all of which easily beat the best EV's. so if you're not running into the 7, 6, and 5 second range in the 1/4 Mile (which neither the Plaid nor Sapphire can pull off) then laymen, rubes, and fanboys needn't bother showing up, as this is for PROS only.
So close to buying a new 911 and I feel they will ruin it before I get there.
Porsche 911 EV 1000 horsepower
Almost all hybrids are flukes. Only those which charges on the go are worth looking in to. Plugin hybrids are 2 steps backwards. Nobody wants to both fill gas AND charge on long drives. Its sad that porsche has decided to take that path.
well alll volkswagen as to do , is putt a 911 body on its car and sell it for 25 k euro and call it golf 911 .....and you end up with this car show in this video.
it will be very interesting to see fiat 500 abarth electric outpace 911 electric on track and autobahn
T.I.N.S
Electric Porsche. Rip the heart out of an awesome car and call it progress. Until cars can produce their own electricity, this will remain a screwed up idea.
I am against full EV sport cars . I hope that the synthetic fuel will be a true solution for the 50 following years.
Fortunately, I am old enough to never have to drive an electric vehicle...I hate how the premise for the electric car is based on a lie...
unfortunately, opposite here, just waiting for the impending doom of evs taking over
@@-forg 30 years from now, there won't be any electric vehicles... There is only enough minerals to build batteries for 1% of the population....The wealthiest 1%....Who are also the only people "worried" about the global warming catastrophe....The one that is not happening and is the figment of people's overactive imagination...
Cross fingers, synthetic fuelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.........😌🤤, See you on the other end
Steer by wire...?? Uh, No thanks.
55,000 units a year.....Meh, no longer that special....Lambo has Porsche hands down in style and on the ring.
Still looks like a VW BEETLE. 😅
Toyota announces no more evs…. Porsche, hold my beer
Lets hope not, governments change their minds constantly every term . ICE sportscars is crucially the most emotional.
This made me throw up in my mouth a little.
🥱🥱🥱
Please go out of business
Beloved but un affordable. C'mon guys. Overpriced VW with active suspension.
Hydrogen is the answer no EV
Not for passenger cars and even then they would still be electric cars (FCEV: Fuel cell electric vehicles)
There is no upside to all electric cars.
In a lot of aspects there are but not necessarily for sports cars right now
@@7ludi No. there’s just 0 upsides.
@@ruggedmanbeast6553 that's what you think
@@7ludi no. Just facts
Fully electric 👎 they can keep it
Only 81 people interested enough to comment. Clearly a case of “ Nobody gives a shit” about overpriced Porsche next 10 years.
Electric? 🤦♂️
