I have it and I love it!! Best allround car!! I use it for work, picking up my twins from preschool, weekend getaways, track days and more!!! Mine is Guards Red!!
Was more before...The excitement is partly gone though...And now at the same prize there's the r8 and the amg gts. I wouldn't even look at the 911 over those...
the 911 looks better, performs better, handles better, and catches more eyes than all those, the only thing they hae over the 911 is sound. and the front of the r8 looks WAAAAY better (however the rear of the 911 is waaay better) but its your opinion
no, actually it doesn't on any of those elements. ever noticed how far back of the pack 911s are on Nurburgring times (except for a $200k GT3)? The The AMG GT S, Jag SVR, BMW M4 GTS, ZL1, Mustang GT R , Caddy ATS-V are all faster, better looking and less money. You've been successfully propagandized.
911s are "back of the pack"? Lmaoooo what a stupid thing to say. Even the 911 Turbo S has beaten pretty much all of the cars you mentioned on the Nurburgring. Funniest part of the comment is the fact you said "You've been successfully propagandized." after mentioning Nurburgring lap times as if they aren't used by manufacturers solely as a marketing tool to fool kiddies like you. 911 is faster than all of its competition 100% of the time. Let's talk about the real world, not Nurburgring times (even though the 911 aces that, too).
all of you going nuts about him saying its comparable to 570s but let me ask you a question - how many of you have actually driven both cars /like he did/ to be able to question what he said?
I have driven this, the old one and a 570s. The facelift is a hell of a lot quicker then the NA car, really savage acceleration, no matter the ground or situation. From driving fast on street point of view, I don't think the 570s is faster or more enjoyable. That AWD is awesome and the car feels so capable. On the other hand the 570s feels a lot more special, it's a supercar... my choice would still be the GTS. More usable and more fun when going speeds you don't immediately lose your license for.
The GTS is for someone who's perfectly happy with "just enough", there's no ounce of excess in this car, unlike the 570S and R8 That said, it's a class/price lower than the other2 and the 570S is so good that it's rather pointless to get anything else tbh
If you think the 570 is bad looking ,You need your eyes tested.If you drive it properly the turbo lag is irrelevant as you will have it the right gear all the time.I have had all sorts of porsches and still have one but the 570s is on another level. Most porsche cars i have owned i get rid of after 10 months, The 570 20 months and still loving it. Each to their own i suppose.@@coldfusionenergy2477
Glad Matt at least references in passing the turbo economy or lack thereof. Downsized turbo engines might be more efficient on a test bed at light cruise but in the real world, and certainly in a 911 when the car's driven as intended, they are no more efficient than NA.
Its more about emissions/Engine CC than actual fuel economy. Turbocharged engine’s tend to extract more energy from the fuel, lowering the waste byproducts whilst allowing for smaller displacement and not compromising power figures. Also torque is a nice bonus.
Holy crap, beautiful footage - but with that much ambience music in the sound it was hard to hear it all. Was running this over wall mounted speakers and sound direct setting, which usually is good for speech - idk perhaps its just me who had this issue?. Anyway the GTS looks great.
in investment point gts is special edition and after time price will go up! for sure.....570s ...its faster no dout about that but it will not go up....as i see the 12c price drop a lot...really a lot....you can check both cars prices in sellcarsites
Would take a RWD manual if I couldn't get my hands on a GT2. A Carrera 2 GTS manual would be the next best option, would rather it than a GT3 RS or 911R.
The only reasons you couldn't live with a 570S everyday are depreciation, fair enough, or the fact that you need back seats (in which case you'd have probably settled for an M6 and not a 911 GTS). Other than that it seems to be pretty docile.
armoredpie he compared to the 570s, I didn't randomly bring it up. I'm trying to say they aren't really comparable, the 570s is overall the better car imo.
I daily drove my mclaren mp4 as a true daily for over 6 month in Florida (easy to do with the roads and weather ) 570 makes the turbo s and GTS feel like ordinary cars while still being comfy and DD friendly depreciation won't be as harsh now that the brand is in its stride... turbo s at 220k is insanity, you'll lose more than 570s on that
the music is way too loud
there's nothing to hear, anyway, sadly :(
the turbos ruined the sound
Not as much as you'd think. In person, they sound great.
Yes, it is... And especially for person who is not from Britain, like me. I mean, my English isn't that good.
Totally agree- get rid of the music. I want to hear about car and the car itself. If I want music I can listen to the radio!
only reason I wanted to see this, what an awesome color!
I have it and I love it!! Best allround car!! I use it for work, picking up my twins from preschool, weekend getaways, track days and more!!! Mine is Guards Red!!
AWD or RWD?
BinewTV RWD
head911 perfect 😍
do you happen to know the clour of this car?
@@alexsof9321 I think it’s Graphite Blue metallic!!
Beautiful filming, horrible sound mixing
I thought this was old Top Gear for a second
Porsche....Still the best car out there!
Was more before...The excitement is partly gone though...And now at the same prize there's the r8 and the amg gts. I wouldn't even look at the 911 over those...
911 is a better all round car than either of these
the 911 looks better, performs better, handles better, and catches more eyes than all those, the only thing they hae over the 911 is sound. and the front of the r8 looks WAAAAY better (however the rear of the 911 is waaay better) but its your opinion

Let's talk about the real world, not Nurburgring times (even though the 911 aces that, too).
There's only so much speed you can deploy on the road. I think this thing being slower than the competition works in its favor in real life.
991.1 2016 GTS right before they add Turbo is simply the best GTS ever. Perfect combination of power and comfort with amazing engine sound!
Nah, the 991.2 is miles ahead. Lemme guess you have a 911.1 GTS
Background music too loud. Cant hear him.
Porsches aren't heard, they're driven...
What does that have to do with the music drowning out the speaking?
3:34 brand new porsche and look at the swirls in the paint. this is why you never let the dealer wash your car.
Loved your take on this one. I’m trying to hopefully get one. Also really liked how specked out and the color combination.
Just traded my 2016 gts4 cab (20,300 miles) and bought a 2024. Can’t wait to get it. GTS are the best
i love how calm you are talking about such an BEAST! love the respect for engeniring
The audio levels need to be adjusted.
Background noise and the music is drowning out the talking. Don't they check out the videos before release? Crazy.
Yes Autocar, that's a review! Brilliant!
all of you going nuts about him saying its comparable to 570s but let me ask you a question - how many of you have actually driven both cars /like he did/ to be able to question what he said?
Matej M my father had the previous GTS and now has a 570s. Can't compare it tbh!!
I have driven this, the old one and a 570s. The facelift is a hell of a lot quicker then the NA car, really savage acceleration, no matter the ground or situation.

I'm a fan of the GTS variants across all models. They really are the sweet spot. Apart form the sound, this is something I could get behind again.
The GTS is for someone who's perfectly happy with "just enough", there's no ounce of excess in this car, unlike the 570S and R8
That said, it's a class/price lower than the other2 and the 570S is so good that it's rather pointless to get anything else tbh
570S looks bad, has terrible turbo lag, and screams entry level and the audis are cold and dojt have personality
If you think the 570 is bad looking ,You need your eyes tested.If you drive it properly the turbo lag is irrelevant as you will have it the right gear all the time.I have had all sorts of porsches and still have one but the 570s is on another level.

Still the Best Sports Car in this World..911 Rules in everyway...everyday...
I never realized Wales would be so beautiful. Porsche doesn't communicate enough the all-wheel drive than audi quattro. 4 GTS it's so cool
Just bought a 2019 gts 4. Best car of 70+ I've owned.
That might just be the most beautiful color I've seen on a car. Ever.
Evan Hasson liquid battleship gray?
Cobalt Blue Metallic
Ooops, it's actually called Graphite Blue Metallic.
this is not graphite blue. its most probably PTS slate grey Y97
Its actually liquid nitro sulphide helio carbon grey metallic gloss
The previous 991 GTS is 👑
Look who I found!
Should you get it with the leather/alcantara package or the natural leather plus the air cooled seats??? Can't decide. What's your opinion?
I got the cool seats...and Alcantara sucks!
only for steering wheels
Background music/noise is too loud!
Propahhhhh !!
luimarco absolutely saluted
Absolutely saluted on a day..LEE basees!
911 on steroids PROPAH-LEE executed!
911 baby pleaseeee
Lui loves porsches, but still drives bimmer.
this car is the best drivers cars in my opinion. it can also be used as a day to day commute.
I would love to have it with a manual. Anyone knows the name of the music?
Off topic here, but where are you sourcing the music from?
I find it a bit hard to hear what he is saying, wish his audio was just a tad louder than the music and ambient sound... just a little
Lots of descriptives, but your driving it like you were going to pick up your pension cheque... Let it scream a little will you...?
Terry Forth he ain’t Chris Harris
Did they run out of paint at the factory and had to let it go with only the primer on?
Can anyone please tell me the name of the opening song of this video ? It’s so beautiful but I can’t shazam its name.
Tried to find it no luck
What color is that? Grey black? Slate grey?
Amazing….how the hell did you manage to get a sunny January day in Wales ?
Matt Prior be like: i'd have a 991.2 GTS over a Koenigsegg
that would actually be more convincing than r8 v10 or 570s if you have to use the car daily
Koenigsegg isnt very reliable
who wouldn't ?
Koenigsegg is ugly as sin
Its servicable and reliable. It can be driven
everyday
So would i
Glad Matt at least references in passing the turbo economy or lack thereof. Downsized turbo engines might be more efficient on a test bed at light cruise but in the real world, and certainly in a 911 when the car's driven as intended, they are no more efficient than NA.

I really can't hear any engine sound. Not sure it is because the loud background music, or the turbocharger.
This one not turbocharged
Well done, Matt, great vid. Where did you film?
What colour is this car? I looked on Porsche and don't seem to see it
The Mclaren 570 starts at $187.300 but the 911 gts at $119.000 so not comparable... the 911 turbo would be comparable against the 570.
is this a music video or a car review? i kept changing my surround sound and just could not hear the reviewer or the car properly :-(
I would like to know if this color is graphite blue metallic or pts slate grey?
Is this video for car buffs or musak buffs?
So the difference between s ang gts is bit more power and 10 mm lower suspension.
is the interior noise loud and so the editor has to raise the volume of the music to drown it out
Really nice review, also nice choice of music... keep up the good work !
What is the color of this GTS called. It looks like a PTS color... slate grey?
Totally agree, music MUCH too loud
What color is that? Slate Grey?
Is the exterior color agate grey metallic?
Does anyone know the colour of this car? Thanks
Is it drift-able?
Really loved the videography in this - it upped the game.
what colour is it ?
You guys really need to sort out your audio mixing, I thought my audio system was broken due to the dialog being so quiet.
Needs a 6 speed manual option.
not enough people actually buy it.
It has it.
I know the audio was a bit off in the video but he said that you can have it with a manual.
Thanks for letting me know, I love a manual.
nope, it has 7 speed manual
Holy crap, beautiful footage - but with that much ambience music in the sound it was hard to hear it all. Was running this over wall mounted speakers and sound direct setting, which usually is good for speech - idk perhaps its just me who had this issue?.
Anyway the GTS looks great.
It was really hard to understand. I only got 50% with ear buds.
What road is he driving on?
beautiful road - where in Wales was this filmed?
Jim Misiak it's the B4391 near Ffestiniog, amazing road
was it filmed in Snowdonia ?
Loving the color, too...Anybody know what it is? It doesn't look like Agate Grey...so what is it?? Custom, maybe?
John Marsh graphite blue metallic
My new favorite color. Thanks!
Why the 4 and auto?? GTS is about rear wheel with manual.
Which G shock watch that he used?
in investment point gts is special edition and after time price will go up! for sure.....570s ...its faster no dout about that but it will not go up....as i see the 12c price drop a lot...really a lot....you can check both cars prices in sellcarsites
Would take a RWD manual if I couldn't get my hands on a GT2. A Carrera 2 GTS manual would be the next best option, would rather it than a GT3 RS or 911R.
what cameras were used in the first 25 seconds ?
@autocar which would you rather have? RWD with a manual or the 4WD with a PDK?
Thanks.
is it 4 seater?
What is this colour?
Why music in the background at all?
Great car Silly background music too loud
Nice review
What is the music good for?
what's your watch?
Beautiful car. And that paint color.....my gosh, I love it.
Lol I mean I'm sure it's amazing but I wouldn't take it over a 570s, let's not get carried away there bud.
dandrixxx They arent even in the same price range you could get a Turbo S for the same price so I would go Turbo S over 570
The only reasons you couldn't live with a 570S everyday are depreciation, fair enough, or the fact that you need back seats (in which case you'd have probably settled for an M6 and not a 911 GTS). Other than that it seems to be pretty docile.
dandrixxx What are you talking about? You can daily the 570s, it's McLaren tamest, most docile car, it's not the 675lt or something.
armoredpie he compared to the 570s, I didn't randomly bring it up. I'm trying to say they aren't really comparable, the 570s is overall the better car imo.
I daily drove my mclaren mp4 as a true daily for over 6 month in Florida (easy to do with the roads and weather )
570 makes the turbo s and GTS feel like ordinary cars while still being comfy and DD friendly
depreciation won't be as harsh now that the brand is in its stride... turbo s at 220k is insanity, you'll lose more than 570s on that
it's simply the best 911 .
Either the music is to loud or your voice isn't loud enough. You're still having that problem. Good review all the same.
what is the colour of this Porsche 911 GTS
Graphite Blue Metallic, it’s now a custom mix and will cost you about £7000
Really got to do a launch and get on it a bit more. I mean really we barely heard the car.. I can read the spec's on Porsche's website..
Porsche are on quite a roll recently and we should all be happy.
What is that music???
Does anyone know what color this car is????
itsjussjerry slate grey
North Wales looking as awesome as ever, B4391 and surrounding roads are glorious. Porsche is to, great colour as well
I used to live there and enjoyed it.
wow wow wow, we abouts in Wales was this shot!!! looks like amazing roads.
can you name the place?
3:32 those swirl marks kill me nice car with swirls
Diagnose choice profile balance beautiful cope line.
There is no way I would ever consider buying a turbo-charged GTS. There is no way. There is just too little sound.
I have one and that is my complaint...too quiet..but fun to drive for sure
Not to mention its not the official 'Turbo' label which just seems wrong
Ya that too
Not that quiet!
loud enough to cover a conversation inside the cabin!
Sure, not as loud as the 3.8 GTS, but to me it's not quiet enough to say no!
That's good for you :) I find it waay too quiet. Especially when driving the convertible, you can barely hear the engine over the wind noise.
What's the genre of the background music?
Anyone know which roads in Wales these are?
Proper evaluation for a Camry.
Got the sound mix very wrong, music louder than the commentary!
which song was used? good
the color is great.
anybody knows the name?
stardust4711 i think it's PTS Slate Grey
Graphite Blue Metallic
They tell me I can't even get one of these until May!
Music song list please?
Why are car videos always spoiled by unnecessary editing with music? The music is fighting the comments and the sound of the engine.
Really nice car, for me 2wd none sunroof version and that colour is very cool and subtle
i am surprised at how much clattering there is inside the cabine
