Wheels Australia – August 2019

(Axel Boer) #1

AT 3.4SEC TO 100KM/H, THIS 911


CARRERA IS QUICKER THAN A 997 GT2 RS,


DEMOLISHING THE QUARTER IN 11.6


Oneoftheperilsofmid-winterroadtesting is that the
sunoftenlackstheradiantenergytodry the roads until
midday. Fortunately the 992 has a trick up its sleeve. A
suite of microphones in the front wheelarches can detect
the specific frequencies of damp surfaces, and with Wet
mode engaged, it primes the traction and stability control
systems to intervene earlier and more sensitively than in
dry conditions.
