How To Spec A Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S?

So today we have the new 992 Porsche Carrera S. In case you didn't know, this is the new 911. There are just a lot of videos online that talk about all the differences and what's new, but today we wanted to talk about the

spec

s and the different options, you can get what is important and what is not, so whether you are placing a new order today or in the market for a used one, I hope this video helps you, so one of the first things you will do . What you want to choose is the color of your car, so there are four base colors that are a no-cost option.

You have black, white, racing yellow and gods red. This is actually the black one. I think it looks super cool, super stealthy, and is a low cost option. You can spend a little more and get the jet black metallic option, other metallic colors like GT silver and Kate gray are also very good colors. They also have some new colors. I think this one is called gentium blue which is very pretty, a baturin green looks very nice, you have silver dolomite, you can spend even more money to get one of the

spec

ial colors like crayon which is very popular right now, too you can get love or orange, because I love blue, but I love this color.

It's just matte black, it's one of the hardest colors to keep clean, but it's definitely worth the extra effort when your car can look like that, so after choosing the color you'll probably want to spec your wheels next. Carrera S wheels standard, but they are painted satin black, which is an additional cost. You can upgrade to RS Spyder wheels, which weigh about 1,600 pounds. I think they are probably the best option. You can also get exclusive alloys or classic Carrera alloys. Personally, I don't think those two options are the best, so I would stick with these painted black, which we will see work very well.

I'm a black car, or I would check out the RS Spyder wheels, these also have these standard steel brakes. and 6,000 pound specific ceramic brakes, this is just a Carrera S, this is not a GT car, so I would personally leave out the ceramic so that for the first time on a Carrera you can get a two-layer carbon fiber roof Years and a half. thousand quid again, this is a Carrera S, it's one of the more sensible 911s, so I'd personally expect the exterior glass sunroof to make the cabin feel a little airier, less claustrophobic, it tilts, it slides, It is an excellent option.

I don't know many people who wouldn't buy one without it. I said next we have something that I know is a must for a lot of people, it's the 1800 Sport Exhaust Plan option and it doesn't just make the cost seem high. much louder and better but it also changes the whole rear look of the car with the standard exhaust you get two twin pipes on each side if you specify the sport exhaust you get a big fat oval exhaust which I think will look more aggressive there will be Some people would probably prefer to see the standard exhaust, but I would highly recommend choosing a car with a sports exhaust as it makes it easier to sell and I think it increases the appeal of the car.

One of the smaller options I think you should check is privacy. Weighing in at 387 pounds, you get this completely blacked out side window and a blacked out rear window. I think, especially for a black car, it completes that stealthy, blacked out look, but even for a light colored car it gives a nice contrast or a nice It's cheap and easy to carry, so one of the new options can get going and, are these LED matrix headlights that weigh just over 2000 pounds so they just look high tech and cool, they are actually very, very smart? Plus, you basically have cameras in your headlights that detect oncoming traffic and then intelligently turn off certain LEDs so as not to dazzle anyone coming and still illuminate the entire road ahead.

See if you're going to drive. normal at night, a great and smart option if you're not going to drive regularly at night, you could probably skip it another small one. Electric folding mirrors are an option costing £240, nothing more annoying than having your rear view mirror knocked out while you're driving, so if you're doing city driving in London make sure you specify electric folding mirrors. It is one of the most expensive options you can get. It is the sporty design package. Now, this is one of those options, I'm sure. It was a tough decision to decide whether to do it, whether this car has it or not, and let me show you what it is, so it really changes the whole front look of the car, so it's a totally different fun apron, without it. , you have much more.

The gaping hole there is also a lot stickier, so with the sport design package you get more painted parts, you get more and an aggressive front spoiler lip and I think it actually improves the front of the car a lot, you also get mud flaps larger sides, which again to help the car look a bit more aggressive and then at the rear there's a lovely big change to the rear as well, so it actually changes where the number plate goes rear, so without the sporty styling package you actually get the license plate that goes down here, which I actually think makes this part feel a little bit rounder and puffier, so with the styling package Sporty you get the license plate running through it which I think helps make it look a little more proportionate.

You also get this totally different design. Here with these little pieces here it definitely makes it more aggressive and I think it improves the overall look of the car. If it's worth two or three thousand pounds, you'll have to make that decision, but I think in a black car it definitely makes it look. a little bit rougher okay so moving on to the interior being a Carrera S you get a full leather interior like standard missiles you get black leather which I think is the best option probably the safest you can get Bordeaux red leather. slate gray leather, they also make these things called club leather packs, which are more fun designs.

To be honest, they are all a pretty acquired taste, so I think at resale you should go for the black leather. I would specify the contrast crayon by stitching it. It definitely just helps give a little lift to the contours of the interior. The owner of this car was originally hoping for some Alcantara options and also spent around £1500 to get the Alcantara Adventura steering wheel in the storage bin and the Alcantara headliner again, expensive but nice options. Having it definitely helps give the interior a little more luxurious and richer feel. One last thing is the matte interior package.

This is a new option on the 911, so the matte carbon fiber is on the center console, also here on the dash and a little bit. here in the finish it weighs around twelve or thirteen hundred pounds quite expensive, but it's definitely an improvement and what comes as standard, which is this type of textured material, but yeah, overall, this is a pretty perfect interior specification, it's okay, so there are some different ones. options when it comes to specifying which seats you want in your nine ninety, so these are actually the standard four, we are sporty, they eat me up, they feel perfectly comfortable, heating is standard, I think they look great too, the main difference with these is you. get the manual lever to move the seat back and forth, they actually move back and forth much faster than the electric one, so if you have kids getting in and out in the back, they are quite useful if you want to spend A little bit of money.

You can get the 14-way fully electric sport seats that also come with a memory function, or if you want to go all out, you get the 18-way adaptive sport seats. I think they weigh just over 2,000 pounds and I wouldn't argue with that. But I personally think that the sport seats are more than enough when it comes to comfort and technological features. There are so many options you can check off, you can really go with the flow and let the cost be with you. Most of these features fall into this category. It's nice to have, probably not essential to have, although it's a personal preference of course, but things like night vision, adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, lane keep assist, boosters of the front axle, these things are probably not necessary.

One thing I would choose is an upgraded sound system. It will be used as a daily driver and a good sound system is definitely something most people will want, so for just over a thousand pounds you get Bose surround sound, you can specify a Burmaster surround sound which costs around three thousand pounds, probably overkill, but the Bose sound system is definitely another option. I would recommend, let's talk to you about some of the more performance oriented options or the chrono package. This is something that's been on 911s for years, on the 992 it gives you the Sport Plus mode and down here. on the steering wheel you have a little mode selector, we can basically toggle between normal mode, sport mode, new wet mode, you can get individual settings and then you get the Sport Plus with a little chrono, obviously, which gives a lot more engagement to the driver, there are sixteen hundred pounds. option, but I know many customers will refuse to buy a car without it, so even if I left it alone for resale, it's worth having, but it gives me more driver involvement, so it's an option.

I would take the option of this car being available. Particularly, if you are a real driving enthusiast, it is a good choice to have the sports suspension for the PASM, it weighs only six hundred and sixty-five pounds, just slightly changes the settings of the car, you get a firmer suspension, lowers the ride height. I drive in ten millimeters, which is not only kind of a mean stance for the car, but also makes the car handle a little better; It also adjusts the sweep on the rear wing and the front wing lip to give it a bit more downforce and definitely a bit more performance. one was driving it; yes, to appreciate it.

Okay, other options you might want to consider are rear axle steering and dynamic chassis control. These are good options, don't get me wrong, but they are quite expensive and I think for the Carrera S maybe they are overkill, you definitely don't want to bear the costs of the Carrera S model, so I think these options are unnecessary and best left alone on the GTS Turbo S, more driver focused models, so I hope that gives you a bit of insight into the different options you can get on this car and how we would spec the 992. I'm sure there are different opinions on what they are the essential options and how to respect your 990 RS.
