Engine in , tick
Wider front track, tick
Shorter ratio's , tick
Better eps , tick

Agree, what’s not to like, I did not like the 981 and 991 range so all looks far better with the 992.

Managed to watch about 5 minutes before his inane squealing got the better of my intolerance. However, the car does sound good from inside and if he’s right and they’ve moved the engine 20cm forward along with the shorter ratios it could be quite the thing.

yes that's killed off the 991.2 cars

that's the issue with tech cars, newer IS always better.

GT3 steering feel also.

It’s the first time I’ve heard it mentioned, so not sure on that one, they’ve moved and rearranged the turbos though which could be the confusion?

Also not sure on the shorter ratios, according to the Porsche info, gears 7 and 8 are purely cruising gears, and max speed it still achieved with 6th gear

seems like a boring but decent all rounder, if you had to just have one car then it fits nicely

I think he mis-heard. They might have moved it 2cm but 20cm would almost put it right over the rear axle!

When do we get more videos? Have these two been given special early release permission? The rest of the reviews are written only. I want the catchpole video...

Hear, hear. As soon as I saw it was one of the Cardashians, I closed it down. I cannot watch more than 0.4 secs of most of the car vloggers.....

Entirely true. Quality takes time. However, I (perhaps wrongly) assumed the media drives were a while ago and that the videos were simply under embargo until a certain date.

I must admit JWW's production is very slick and looks expensive, I actually managed to watch this one all the way through but still found all the cackles and epicness stuff tedious, best one he has done yet though. Harris did a much better job without the frills.

I'll wait for Catchpole on Carfection which I'm sure will be excellent as always.

Wait till Schmee smiles his way through one with his top lip stuck to his teeth.

I thought that...there would be no leg room at all in the back of it if they did that 20mm maybe!
