The 2022 Porsche 911 seems to have transitioned from being a luxury sports car to becoming a more elegant and refined ride. This combination makes it dominate the market. Add to that, it continues to produce the most powerful engine results, maintaining what avid fans have loved about it.
That of the 2022 Audi R8 also gets some points for having incredible engines and reliable technologies. In fact, the base engine got an update to release more power. This has that cabin design that is elegant to look at.
Design & Style
Gifted with a large center cupholder, and with a digital gauge cluster to make the infotainment design a lot better than before, the 2022 Porsche 911 proves to be one of the contenders when it comes to astonishing styles in the cabin. The ride is solidly constructed outside, proving its sportiness. Supportive front seats are provided, and well-bolstered configurations make all passengers comfortable in this ride that sits four.
The Audi R8 takes the minimalist route in terms of cabin design. This makes the ride elegant, considering that it made use of quality materials inside too. While it exerted effort to be plush, it lacks the same aura that other luxury cars offer. What is even more disappointing is its very small trunk space that only measures 3.9 cubic feet. This one only sits two people.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Porsche 911 works on its promise of providing reliable technologies that you can count on. It is fitted with wireless Apple CarPlay, and has the standard Android Auto setup. For speakers, you can choose between the 13-speaker Burmester or the 12-speaker Bose. There is a reliable 10.9-inch touch screen complementing the functions of its infotainment system. Enjoy exhilarating rides knowing that this ride is equipped with automated emergency braking, forward collision warning, night vision, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high-beams for safety.
The R8, meanwhile, uses a reliable 12.3-inch gauge cluster that partners well with its infotainment system. The entire setup is intuitive. It has five speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and two USB ports, among others. It is a dismay that it only has a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors for its driver aids, without an option to upgrade to other features.
Performance
All Porsche 911 models come fitted with the same engine configurations with results ranging between 379 horsepower for the Carrera, 443 horsepower for the S variant, and 473 horsepower for the GTS trim. The R8 uses a V8 engine that delivers 562 horsepower in terms of results. Since it falls short in terms of driver aids, that can be quite dangerous.
The Bottom Line
Appealing on the outside, and well-trimmed inside, the 2022 Porsche 911 clearly attracts attention from car buyers out there. While the R8 may have powerful engines, you won’t love the idea that it falls short of safety technologies to live up to that promise. That alone makes the 911 already ahead in this league.
