Is the 992 the best 911 thus far?

Porsche has long been a brand invested in evolution rather than revolution, though not all of their changes have immediately proven popular. When the much-loved (but admittedly slow-selling) 993 was replaced by the 996, fans balked. When the 991 moved to an all-turbocharged engine range in the non-GT models, fans clambored for the naturally aspirated cars. When the Boxster and Cayman moved to a four-cylinder there were torches lit and pitchforks branded on message boards across the internet. We think, however, that the 992 might be spared this fate.

Click-bait title aside, Porsche has been quite consistent with each new model being empirically superior to its predecessor. For all of its faults the 996 was more powerful, lighter, and faster than the car it replaced. The 992 likewise represents a step forward from the 991 with all-aluminum construction, and promises improved performance across the board.
