2022 Porsche 911 vs. 2022 BMW 8-Series

A luxury car that knows how to define the great qualities of one, the 2022 Porsche 911 is among the top-ranking rides in its category. It now has three versions available; adding to the coupe and convertible is the quasi-convertible type. All of these models speak opulence from the inside to the outside.

The 2022 BMW 8-Series boasts of a top-notch cabin, and has brawny turbocharged engines too. There are many standard features in it as well. Debuting the Alpina B8, the model has returned its M8 coupe and convertible models.

Design & Style

The 2022 Porsche 911 is a sophisticated as its earlier versions. It may be simple, but once you take a peek of what is inside, you will discover how opulent it is. There are no complications anymore, and even its technologies are something that avid followers have always loved about it. The cabin has a generous space too, with supportive front seats that provide comfort to passengers. Back seats are well-bolstered as well. Adding a touch of class to its posh cabin are the black accents highlighting its components.

Also boasting of a luxe cabin, the 2022 8-Series is definitely stylish. Like the 911, it is a bit conservative, but you will admire all high-end materials found inside. This one used aluminum accents to finish the entire interior look. There are four seats for the coupe and convertible versions, while five seats are provided for the gran coupe. While that is the promise for the latter, there is not really much space for adults at the back.

Technology & Safety

Carrying a 10.9-inch touch screen, the 2022 Porsche 911 took things a step further by providing an all-new infotainment software, worth discovering for its passengers. This one is now equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto. Wi-Fi hot spot and high-end stereo systems are welcome addition as well. For your safety, you can use its automatic high-beams, night vision, forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring.

The 2022 8-Series uses a 10.2-inch touch screen paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster for its iDrive infotainment system. Menus are pretty intuitive, and while the touch screen is reliable, it is not the case for the gauge cluster. The latter's layout is more than distracting. For safety, it is loaded with features like the ones already offered by the 911 except for night vision.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche 911 is also about powerful engines. The standard trim comes fitted with a twin-turbo flat-six engine that can release up to 379 horsepower. This same engine configuration is found in the GTS, capable of aspirating 473 horsepower.

With four engine options to choose from in the 8-series, starting from the inline-six that can generate up to 335 horsepower, to a V8 that can scoop 523 horsepower, you will find the BMW impressive in this department. There are even more powerful V8 versions that can release up to 612 and 617 horsepower. While this is the case, you need to keep things slow to make those zippier accelerations work.

The Bottom Line

A good luxury car is not just about engine performance. It should be able to balance all aspects together. This is what makes the 2022 Porsche 911 more special than the 2022 BMW 8-Series.
