I took delivery of my 992 C4S on Oct. 15, and in 4-1/2 months have put 6,000+ (s)miles on it. All wheel steering, PASM, upgraded lights, premium pkg, sport exhaust, guards red w/tach and sport Chrono red, as are the seat belts, etc., etc. I have driven it in sunshine, POURING rain, snow and ice, w/dedicated winter tires. Not much to complain about, trust me. I love the new PDK, faster than stink in shifting. I could not be happier with the car. And great post, Stef! Ciao!
Once upon a time, my garage in Seattle, Washington was graced by BOTH a 2004 Carrera 4S and a 1964 356 Cabriolet. 40 years of Porsche perfection! Alas, I found myself driving the C4S way too fast on Washington and Oregon rural roads, and sold it after 7 years, Bur, oh my, what a magnificent machine it was.
Even though they've gone to the 3 litre TT flat-6, the sound and the performance is still there, and it is a great car as well
Yep agree
The 911 is my dream car too. Goes back to when I was young and my dads boss used a 911 as a rally car around the south coast. Been hooked on them ever since. Nice one ☝️
Awesome cars! Incredible bits of kit
Awesome video! Amazing car! Was great fun having this for a few days! 🔥
Thanks mate 🙌 yeah mega car!
Can’t wait to see this channel explode soon! Amazing content mate. They’ve taken this 911 to the next level
Thank you so much mate
Love this car! 💛 Not sure I'd be brave enough to spec Yellow but it looked fabulous on the grey wet weekend we were out. Nice vid Stef 👍 I'm jealous as hell. One day, like you, I WILL own a Porsche. My current goal is a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 when the PDK comes out. Sorry Greta 🙈
Mate a GT4 is the dream. Incredible car and I want one
That’s a proper video - all about performance, noise and theatre. 👌

Superb video. Love the 911!
Beautiful looking car. Love the wheels and stance. All the car you need if you enjoy driving a sports car. Like your infectious enthusiasm.
Thank you so much
Hi Steff, awesome video and love the car, so jealous 😊
Thank you so much 🙌
I saw one of these a few weeks ago in a Aqua blue Colour driving along in Sydney and I was blown away 🤯
They are stunning cars
All the car anybody would need..reliable.. beautifully built... Great residual values.. and has developed and stood the test of time.
Porsche actually quote a 0 to 60 time of 3.6 seconds on their UK webpage. So imagine what the new 992, 911 Turbo S is going to be like when that behemoth takes to the roads :-))...
I shall have to head to Caffeine and Machine as it's not to far from where I live. :-))...
Great video Stef. Nice to see a reviewer on the new 992 Carrera S4 who takes this Porsche for what it is and nothing more and nothing less.
Thanks man 🙌🙌
@@StefABtv - You keep doing good reviews and I'll keep posting some good shit about you :-))... As the youth of today might say!? 🤔
The Zanzibarbarian I believe Porsche rates this car at 3.2 0-60mph. The C4S. With the sport Chrono package and PDK. But like Stef says, I’ve seen testing of this car...I think one was Motor Trend, and some private folks, who tested it repeatedly at 3.0 0-60mph.
@@ronstopfer2315 - I done a boo boo. You're right about figures. I was quoting to 62mph too and not just to 60mph.
Regardless. Stef's done a great video. He's tested it as this car and has not tried to compare it to earlier models.
All in all, this S4 is an awesome machine and the safest 911 Porsche has ever produced.
Would I buy one? Absolutely.
Could I buy one? Nope. I couldn't even afford one wheel/tyre combo with my pension :-((...
C'est la vie, sa the Froggies say. C'est la vie.
Great review!!For me the 911 is the car absolutly, simply perfect….I love the sound of the engine when you downshift and the motor revs!typical 911!!
Yeah even turbocharged it still sounds great
Haha love the way u said use the sports response button if you need to overtake someone... 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Love it mate. 👌
Cheers mate
Missed this run as i am still away. Or we could have done a back to back with my Turbo (from the 1st run we made to C&M).
All good man. There will be more :)
Fantastic review and fantastic car
Thank you
Great stuff👍🏻
Thank you!
"It handles like it's on rails". Proceeds to lose the arse end coming off a roundabout. I've done EXACTLY that myself in my 992 4S - Came off a roundabout onto a dual carriageway and gave it the beans when it was a bit wet and it wriggled and squirmed like mad until it hooked up. Stupid by me, but that Flat Six just makes you want to do make a racket and feel the kick in your back.
I completely agree with you. Considering the 992 4S is a powerful and very reactive sports car, the overall comfort is 😂very decent indeed. I spent half a day driving this same model and enjoyed every minute of it 😎
Great video, I really want one. Any colour 🤷♂️🤞
Same!
Its a Beautiful porsche 911 and its fast
Yeah it’s stunning :)
Porsche.....there is no substitute.👌🏽
Yep!
Turbo S is going to be a monster can't wait to see what that's like
karl hewitt vids are out, it’s mental - a “Porsche conservative” 650hp and 2.7 0-60 mph!
@@jstoli996c4s
so going on how porsche normally work its looking at 700bhp
When driving in rain with the rear spoiler up for long time, will the engine bay get flooded? AKA, can Carrera 4S (or 911 in general) be driven in moderate/heavy rain without causing damage to the engine (with the rear spoiler in lifted position)?
No the engine is protected
Stef Bruh,
Never sell-out like those other youtubers. Best to stick to hot-hatches and hyper-hatches.
Kindest regards.
Nice SPORTS Car !
I have to say that for a turbo charged engine it sounds pretty good
It does. Still get that lovely flat 6 sound
That intro music 👌🏽
Thank you 🙌
👎
Question is do you prefer it to the Quadrifoglio?
Being honest. I do
7:20 Little over 22.5 mpg over 83.7 miles is appalling! Probably something to do with the driver’s right foot?! Great review. 👍🏻
Lol defo. Press cars always get driven hard 😂
I get around 18mpg in my 997 on a run, so hes doing well compared!
If you come into money....Buy this car and you’ll never need to buy another car, it’s the perfect all round machine...
Agree it’s incredible
Id argue that you should lease it first
Richard Jones it is a heck of a car. Stupidly fast and agile, sticks to the road like paint, very low, very wide, the largest 911 tires I’ve ever seen. Even the driver and passenger sits lower than my 911 Turbo, which lowers the center of gravity. They even moved the mounting points of the engine forward. Unbelievable car!
Imagine it in a stage 2 tune , wow !
That would be epic
Very good car!! All is perfect except the back (it is bit huge) and the stick for shaving 😁
Mine is specced with the sports design kit, the rear number plate is raised about 5 inches higher up the bumper. This gives the back end a more balanced look and looks less bulbous.
snowbandit56 compliments !! 👍👍 really good car!!
M B I got used to the PDK shifter real quick. It becomes second nature in a short period of time. Works phenomenally!
That Ek9 though.
Childhood dream along with Lamborghini Miura and GT40. Only the 992 is real... 😊
I've never had the opportunity to drive a 911. Are they that good?
Brilliant cars man
No doubt the Porsche is a better car from an engineering standpoint, but shows how game changing and amazing the new Corvette C8 base is, (o-60 2.9 sec) costing only 60,000 USD
You didn't seem too excited about this one.... Personally I prefer the 4c
Believe me I was. It’s the 2nd one I’ve driven and it was in the middle of a storm. Was more stressed about being able to make the video lol
Driven this car. Amazing performance.
My 981 BS with PSE sounds better.
Porsche, there really is no substitute
Nice car but I will rather park my money in the new naturally Aspirated 4.0 mid-engine Cayman with no back seat for a more superior drive....now that is special considering that I get to keep the change.
So much want. Cayman GT4 is the dream for me
CK ROY I initially had money down on a 2019 Cayman GTS. Wonderful car. But I like the additional interior room of the 911, the little back seat. Holds a beer cooler nicely, throw in overnight bags, go to the store and buy groceries...which keeps cool in the air conditioned interior, and not melting in the trunks. It’s a bit more utilitarian and a bit more roomy....but please, Porsche, do NOT make the 911 cars any larger!!!!!!!!!
Is it better being 4wd ?
More confidence driving it hard for sure. The 2wd can snap more. This is more forgiving. Both models are awesome though
Looks like a banana to me love it
This is a truly incredible car, however, I'd take a Giulia QV over this or pretty much any other car out there. With exception to perhaps a Ferrari model. There is nothing wrong with any Porsche product, I've owned 3 of them myself, but the Giulia with 505 bhp and that terrific Italian design and styling, it can't be beat.
Both cars are great. The Porsche is a dream to drive. The Giulia keeps you on your toes a bit more lol
Would you have the S or the 4S ?
Looks wise can’t tell the difference. I would have the 4s. More grip and still a bit slippery when you want it but not as much as the S
@@StefABtv thanks for the response mate, I am in the market for a 992 but am stuck on either the S or 4S. Im coming out of an M4 which has always struggled for traction and would be worried the S could be similar. First world problem I know but I’m starting to lose sleep 🤪😜
That's the same one Mat Watson had almost a year ago on test
Yep it is
@@StefABtv it's was the registration plate👍
OPF ? Fitted Stef ??
Yeah unfortunately
Stef ABtv
Well that surprised me thought it sounded too good to have OPF fitted Porsche have made it sound good
This is as quick as a 997 Turbo S. did you really say almost 3.0 real test 0-60
Yep! Wait for the new 2020 turbo s it will be ridiculous. 3.0 from this model is insane
@@StefABtvLooks the part or what Stef , all sharing this wider body makes 992 a winner, what is this on RRP thanks
Audi's take on the 911?
Video 10, music intro , not 10, not even 1.
Hi Stef, I normally look forward to your videos but this was more like a Porsche advert - always remember you are showcasing their gear so don’t thank them too much - people expect you to be unbiased and honest (not saying you are not by the way!), but remember how much you bring to their brand and how many new people you showcase this car to.
I have heard Porsche roll out the ‘analogue dials’ line so many times - in all honesty, they are crap, digital dashes are much better hence why the taycan has one - it is only a matter of time for the rest of the line to get them. If Porsche don’t keep the 911 as their ultimate by adding such features, people will stop buying the new ones and the interest in the older ones will keep growing. I personally think the new 911 is getting a bit too big for the UK roads and has lost a bit of the ‘edge’ that earned the older cars their fierce reputations... just my 2p though!
The real shame is that as a daily, the best car they make is the new cayman gts (for UK roads at least!).
Nelly&Bert Owning a 992 C4S myself, I can assure you that Stef is not pandering to the Porsche corporation. Everything he has said is solid on this car. In fact, with more time for him to get to know this car, I think his accolades and kudos would be even more extravagant. He has told it as it is! Regards, mate.
Ron Stopfer hi Ron, appreciate the response. I could never gel with the 911 992 personally, but good to hear you like yours. I still think the cayman is a better car, I know that’s controversial but having driven lots of 911 over the years and recently driven both previous and latest gen gt4 I am really impressed with them as a drivers car and especially given the list price. I would go spider though as that is such a beautiful car, irrespective of cost or budget it’s a great steer!
Enjoy the c4s, sure you will and stay safe!
I know it drives awesome but inside looks like a BMW. Too much electric and the gear shifter is not classic. Well I stick to my 718 ;)
School bus yellow cannot unsee. Braun shaver cannot unsee.
DJAZTHETAFREQ Standard Racing Yellow, or better yet, optional ($11,3K) Speed Yellow, when clean are outstanding. The PDK shifter rocks also.
sorry but....not feelin it for the 992 body.
🤮👎😂
