What car is the 992?

992 refers to the Porsche 911. Below are some key details about the Porsche 911: 1. Powertrain: The newly launched 911 initially features the Carrera-S series models, equipped with an upgraded 3.0-liter turbocharged horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. It delivers a maximum power output of 450 horsepower and a peak torque of 530 N·m, paired with a new 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. 2. Interior: The cabin is outfitted with Panamera-style digital instrument clusters, while the central tachometer retains traditional analog dials. The center console includes a 10.9-inch touchscreen, touch-sensitive buttons below it, and a redesigned gear lever.
The 992 is the internal code name for the latest generation of the Porsche 911, which has been on sale since around 2018. I've worked on quite a few of these cars and find them significantly improved in engineering—retaining the classic rear-engine layout but switching entirely to turbocharged power, with a greater focus on efficiency. Common issues in routine maintenance include the need for regular turbo upkeep, occasional minor bugs in the electronic systems, and optimized cooling to reduce overheating risks. Longtime owners often complain about the tight space, but this generation has a wider rear track for more stable handling. If you've driven previous 911 models, you'll notice the 992 has better fuel efficiency, averaging around 10L on highways and slightly higher in congested city driving. Overall, it inherits the 911's soul but reshapes it with modern technology, making it a car worth savoring for true enthusiasts.
