Engineering Verdict
“Porsche's mastery of the rear-engine layout is absolute. The 992's front end grip is vastly improved due to the wider track, while the PASM dampers erase the compromises between track stiffness and road comfort.”

Historical Context
The 992 generation represents the pinnacle of the 911's evolution, growing in size but retaining the quintessential rear-engine layout. It introduces mixed wheel sizes and a wider track previously reserved for AWD models across the entire range.
Ownership Analysis
The 3.0L twin-turbo (9A2 Evo) has proven robust. Main concerns are limited to early electronics glitches in the PCM system and rare active engine mount failures.
