- The two turbos on the 991 were identical, the asymmetrical setup necessitating longer exhaust tubing with a tighter bend for the left-side turbo. Porsche flipped the left-side turbo on the 992, creating a symmetrical layout. The intercoolers were moved from the sides of the rear fenders to where the air filters used to be, on top of the engine under the rear decklid.

- Larger turbo chambers house 48-millimeter turbine wheels, three millimeters wider than before, turning compressor wheels that have grown four millimeters to 55 mm. The bypass valves aren’t controlled by vacuum anymore, but electric stepper motors, giving finer and more precise boost control.

- This is the same eight-speed concept as introduced on the Panamera two years ago, with 911-specific guts. The gears don’t sit in a sump, but are bathed from overhead with oil conveyed through plastic piping. An additional hydraulic fill bypass provides more, and faster, clutch changeover control.

- The intercoolers moved from the sides of the rear fenders to where the air filters used to be, on top of the engine under the rear decklid. The placement and redesign shortens the distance air needs to travel, and makes the charge air coolers 14 percent larger, reducing airflow obstructions by 50 percent. The open channel under the rear glass is the sound symposer system.
