Nice review Raz. The -10mm PASM helper suspension set-up is only available on the GTS coupe and cabriolet, not as you state here on the Targa GTS. The Targa GTS only available with the standard PASM (no helper springs). Look at each model on the configurator, and you can see that this (no cost) option is missing on the Targa GTS only.
The way you drive is the best of any reviewer for demonstrating on screen what the drive is actually going to be like. I have a GTS and imo the best all round compromise is coupe with a pan roof.
I've been seeing a bunch of the new Porsche Cayenne GTS' driving around with that spoiler up. I give every one of them a thumbs up for having the new fastest SUV on the block and presumably knowing what they're driving
I am missing any information about how it feels to be driven with roof down?? Especially in comparism to the cabriolet… Wind noises etc… C‘mon it‘s a TARGA , people want to know these kind of things :) Good video besides of that (as always)
Targa = wind bubble. I own this car and it’s noisy even with sunroof wind diffuser upgrade. Something you put up with when you own this caliber of car. If you don’t like it, but the 911 with sun roof or cab.
If you ever get a chance, please compare wind buffeting in the Targa vs. Cabrio when both are open. Some reviewers complain that the Targa, surprisingly enough, has _more_ wind buffeting than the Cabrio, which is unfortunate.
I got my targa in May and the wind buffering is nowhere near as bad as I expected from all the reviews…. It’s not perfect but it’s a very very very small price to pay for such an awesome car
Like your reviews , really would have liked to known what it was actually like to drive with the roof off , if the buffeting at a certain speed is still present in the targa .. only because this would be my spec and was gutted you drove it with the roof up . Hopefully you re do it in the uk roads but with roof down and gts spec to see if better than cab
well let me say that in terms of cinematography and editing, this video is a benchmark. It's pure car porn. This is a great video presentation, forget the subject matter even for a moment, this is still like a really good documentary in terms of presentation ( besides the ad at the beginning). This is how it's done, a presenter who happens to cut in the footage of a car video to show him engaging with the car as needed; as opposed to every other single car content maker where they show 1 minute of car footage and 10 minutes of their "cliche - rambling car - reviewer " blurping a script. Well done.
I daily my 2019 Targa 4 GTS manual. It's a phenomenal car and understand the draw. I also have 200 cell cats that really lets the turbos sing. I only wish it had ceramic brakes to keep the dust down. My GT3 wheels are always pristine.
Brilliant, as usual. May I suggest you use a Laser Pointer to point to the different parts of the car while describing them? It helps you to avoid defocusing your camera cause of moving your hand/finger in front of the lens. Be happy.
Thank you for a great review! We have the 991.2 Targa 4 GTS but I just can't justify going to the new 992 due to the sound of the engine... I am terrified that I will regret it if we get the new one... It looks stunning tho!!!
I don’t understand why people complain about GPF filter. Every car brand stock exhaust is always worse than aftermarket exhaust... Even Ferrari sounds bad stock compared to an aftermarket exhaust… Just install an armytrix akraprovic and so. And sound is 10x better always every single time
The Porsche Reliability Rating is 2.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 32nd out of 32 for all car brands. This rating is based on an average across 345 unique models. The average annual repair cost for a Porsche is $1,192, which means it has below average ownership costs. The other factors that contribute to Porsche reliability include an average of 0.8 visits to a repair shop per year and a 21% probability of a repair being severe.
the Targa is my jam....how did you do the top view without the mounting pole visible?...great video...going to watch the Heritage Targa video again...👍
I used to love Porsche. I feel like In the last few years, it’s lost some of its soul. It feels like the default sports car in the same way Lamborghini feels like the default super car. A great car make no mistake, probably the greatest. But not very emotional I guess? I have a 2015 Cayman, it was a great car, but to be honest I dont really miss it.
Too heavy and the targa is horrible loud on speeds above 60mph if u drive top down because the wind hits the targa bar and it’s just to noisy around the head. Sold my 991.2 gts Targa for a 991.2 turbo Cabrio.
What more could you want? How about hard top Targa? I don't like the rag top. I would think with little more effort, Porsche Engineers can come up with an Hard top.
Same thing. 911 is the model and Carrera is the variant. From there you have the Carrera S, Carrera 4s, Targa, GTS, GT3, Turbo, Turbo S, and so on. Lots of flavors.
Tbh I don’t think I really get the 911 GTS. In the Cayenne/Panamera lineup I think it’s the absolute sweetspot due to the thunderous V8 but in the 911, not really. It just seems too close to the S and too far from the Turbo. Who would really go for the GTS and not the S for just 30 hp and some improved dynamics? I would go for the Turbo which is blisteringsly fast and surprisingly not that much more expensive than the GTS
Stating the obvious, rear badges need to be deleted, remaining Porsche badges must be black'n'white and this god awful bland silver colour needs to be removed from the whole range.
Can't say enough about all the 992s analog center mounted tachometer. It's absolutely brilliant, with the digital display screens on each side, I believe it to be the perfect instrument cluster.
@@verhu010 those are true art pieces but a porsche targa is also a looker in its own right. Yes a chiron is super sexy a pagani and so on but its multi millions. You expect that for those cars. This is a real looker in its own way. Its beauty
If I was in the market for a daily driver Porsche I would most likely go for a Targa 4 GTS. The car also sounds quite nice and not too loud where on long drives it would start to wear on you like a GT3's sound would.
Now learn to drive without it without shuffle steering or releasing the wheel completely s it unwinds in your hands. A few track days and you'll understand.
My. Old. Buddy. In. College. Had. A. 70.s 911.targa..we. Raced Some. Locals. On the freeway. In. Honolulu. They. Had. A. Souped Camaro..and. We. Beat Them. By. A car. Length We thought.

Gosh I must have watched the roof go back at least 10 times. This is such a beautiful car...just when you think a Porsche can't get any better....it gets better.
Great review Raz. Just have one question about 992 gts. Could you please tell some your feeling about sport pasm and pasm as they are two options for the gts? Also, it seems that the ride height are the same on 992 gts pasm sport or pasm. Is that right?
Very nice but it's not different enough for me to upgrade from the 991.2 Targa 4 GTS. If Porsche comes up with a version with a naturally aspirated 4.0 engine (does it make sense? does it matter...?) I'll immediately sign up and get one with a manual gearbox.
Raz…not sure on the overhead shots with massive distortion but I like the car…but still I would go for a GT3 Touring or a Turbo S…. I just think the 911 looks best as a coupe. Well done again..that camera?…not sure yet!
5:40 those HIDEOUS datyime running lights from the Kia parts bin!! WTF!! Just unspeakably ugly and awkward that square layout of the 4 lights in a round housing. Every time I see a 911 that's all I see
Great Video , But can you tell me if the Targa Gts feels any different in the handling as the Targa does not get the same suspension and helper spring like the coupe and cab, Just interested if it does ride any different to a targe 4S? May thanks

Test drive it?

Yeah it wasn’t raining ☔️ so why we didn’t get that beats me
Good new camera - but please use a stabilised hand-held mount when walking about!!

I like the Targa 4GTS without the black theme
Love the 007 watch!

A turbo S cab, nuff said!

What more could I want? A solid roof.
Gorgeous car. I almost bought a 991.1 targa but I had to have the HP of the TT so that’s want I wound up with
In your opinion what is the perfect classic gentlemen's car other than vintage cars among modern cars? Can you name a few?

love my 992 s cab, think it is better than the targas for top down
Can you get the GTS w/ 7 speed? If yes, this is my ultimate Porsche
Not trolling but it seems the GTS does not have the Turbo chassis. GTS Coupe and convertible do.
Living the dream, and yes, you deserve to be a smug shit some of the time especially in that ride. Love you work and thanks for your efforts.
It needs a wing thats all😎
If only there was a targa turbo s 😅
GRANDE PORSCHE 🇮🇪 ❤️ 👍 🔝
Was looking to get a targa but i think porsche prices are taking the piss tbh they at least £30k too much
I know they're not meant to be compared, but the 991 911 speedster has ruined every other type of targa or drop top Porsche for me. (Except the 918)
What more could you want?
How about hard top Targa? I don't like the rag top.
I would think with little more effort, Porsche Engineers can come up with an Hard top.
I Love my Cabriolet ! I can always put on more warm clothes to go for a ride !!
Enjoy it😉
Soft, soft, soft
Nice video. Rookie question: what’s the difference between a 911 and a 911 Carrera?
Same thing. 911 is the model and Carrera is the variant. From there you have the Carrera S, Carrera 4s, Targa, GTS, GT3, Turbo, Turbo S, and so on. Lots of flavors.
The 992 GTS Targa or 992 Turbo Cab?
Is that GT Silver Metallic?
A manual…. That’s what more I could ask for…
To be able to find one?
Is Targa 4 GTS the Targa version of Carrera GTS ?
I don't like it simply due to the top being material and not a true hard top! otherwise I would want one!
Porsche can figure it out im sure!
Better buy a Cabrio, because o the wind...
What more could you want?
Mercedes AMG GTC Roadster

I would go for the Turbo which is blisteringsly fast and surprisingly not that much more expensive than the GTS
That makes no sense - the Turbo costs $50K more for just 75 more hp. After you tune the GTS you can easily get over 500HP
Targa looks better and sounds better and u get a convertabile. The turbo s sounds like a vacuum cleaner
Is 911 Carrera Targa 4 GTS the longest 911 name you can get?
There is no Carrera in the name, it’s replaced by Targa. So 992 Targa 4 GTS
Any car costing $200,000 will be great
A manual transmission, for one thing!
🙌
bro... you said nothing about how the car drives with the roof down? Thats the whole point of the targa.
Does this guy have something against tesla they have something out called tha plaid and its breaking track records
Sorry, but the car looks like the lift-system is up. The front wheel-house looks a bit empty. Can't understand why Porsche design's this.
Why not a targa gts thats RWD?? Targa was never an AWD car at its inception.

“Nothing like it in the market” - are you sure?! MAZDA MX-5 RF 😝

What a terrible exhaust sound. Monotonous and uninspired. Begging an aftermarket upgrade.
Stating the obvious, rear badges need to be deleted, remaining Porsche badges must be black'n'white and this god awful bland silver colour needs to be removed from the whole range.
Great video but you didn't show the power and 0 to 100
That's why I won't like
Thanks 👍
Except its the wrong color
Sounds terrible

Would it be possible to do a side-by-side sound comparison with Carrera S/4S?
This channel should be called ‘Anything Automotive from Stuttgart’.
Doesn’t getting a gts targa 4 defeats the purpose of a 911 gts ? Unless you are not a real car driver enthusiast
