The new Porsche 911 (992.2): An icon enhanced

The latest generation Porsche 911 has landed in the Philippines. Featuring refreshed styling, improved aerodynamics, a digitalized interior, and enhanced equipment, it heralds the start of a new era for the iconic sportscar.

Now carrying the 992.2 designation, the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera features a refreshed design whose focal point is the headlights. While it maintains its characteristic four-point graphic, all lighting elements are now integrated into the matrix LED unit, enabling engineers to delete the front driving lights for the first time ever. This has allowed for the installation of a new bumper with an increased cooling area.

At the back, the refresh is decided more subtle, but numerous. The rear grille’s five-fin design connects to the rear window and then to the retractable spoiler. The LED light strip and “PORSCHE” logo now appear deeper and wider, while the number plate is now positioned higher than before. Staggered wheels—20s at the front (245/35R20) and 21s at the back (315/30R21)—are standard equipment. As always, the 911 Carrera receives dual rectangular tail pipes, while the 911 Carrera S gets quad tail pipes.

Powering the 2025 911 Carrera is a 3.0-liter flat-6 with twin turbocharging. Comprehensively changed, it includes the adoption of the intercooler from the 911 Turbo models. All in all, it delivers a power boost to 394 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. Paired with the 8-speed dual clutch (PDK) and the standard Sport Chrono package, 0 to 100 km/h is done in just 3.9 seconds, while top speed is 294 km/h. Compared to its predecessor, this represents an improvement of 0.1 seconds and 1 km/h, respectively.

Inside, the new 911 Carrera carries the latest Porsche Driver Experience philosophy which offers intuitive and quick operations of key functions that are central to the driver. For starters, it gets a fully digital gauge cluster. The 12.6-inch curved display can be customized and offers up to seven views, including a “Classic” display that’s inspired by the five-tube Porsche dial design. Also new is the steering wheel with a revised control concept, highlighted by a new Sport button. A push-button starter also replaces the traditional twist start. Standard features include the 14-way Porsche Comfort seats with ventilation/heating and a 12-speaker Bose sound system.

For the 2025 911 Carrera, the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system has been upgraded. It now boasts of a 10.9-inch screen with enhanced Apple CarPlay integration. If desired, it displays information in the instrument cluster and enables the operation of vehicle functions directly in the Apple ecosystem, for example via the Siri voice assistant. A wireless charger with cooling also comes as standard in the center console.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera is now available for orders at Porsche Centre Philippines. Exact pricing depends on application.
