Seriously, this man is a legend. I cannot wrap my mind around his accent and his passionate explanation of the Porsche.. Watched his review on the Cayman 2017 and this man almost made me run to the bank get a loan and buy that car. Weiterso Thomas!!!!
this targa is definitely my favorite. It's been a long time since Porsche has impressed me with its design. The 911 is always timeless but there's something special about this particular targa version. That back window is to die for. I love the fact that removing & replacing the top is automatic rather than a manual ordeal like days of old. I don't mind so much the amount of time it takes to fully retract. The full cabriolet is beautiful too but this targa steals the show. I never thought Porsche would make me change my mind about the F-Type being the sexiest sportscar design to come along in years but I think this 911 has accomplished just that.
Over shoulder camera view in the race track is very good it actually communicated the experience very well , it showed the character of the car , good job keep up the good work guys.
A Stuttgart plated Porsche 911 GTS, amd the beautiful weather and nature of South Africa. All components to make a great video, hope you enjoyed your time there.
Once you lowered the side windows and open up the soft top, the top wind noise and cabin turbulence will be greatly reduced and would be almost similar to driving a convertible top down feel, the manual activated wind deflector helps a little too! The Targa 4 GTS exterior has elegant look and draw many envy eyes on road
I have a 2018 GTS in Carmine red with 2WD and PDK. I just past 3,000 miles and one year of ownership. I still get in it and can't believe how cool it is. It is my first Porsche. I used to have a picture of a 959 my dad put up in my room when I was 8 or 9 years old; I told him it was his fault for me buying a Porsche.
That car looks like so much fun to drive on the track. And that track looks like a lot of fun too. I'm not really a fan of the targa roof but every other version I really like.
Terrific review Thomas ! Very well crafted presentation. You make it look easy. Love the 911 lineup. I would like to own one in each variant and color ! I'll be watching this review over and over again. Beautiful scenery in South Africa ! Thanks for these fabulous reviews ! Nobody does it better !
The Targa looks great! But I see the names are becoming more and more complicated: ''911 Targa 4 GTS''! It's very long and very hard to memorize! Had I had the money, I'd choose the ''911 badge'' for the rear (it's a simple ''911'' script! Suits it better! Suits any 991.2 better!) and leave the ''GTS'' badges on the door and the ''Targa'' badges on the hoop just as they are! They're more than enough!! As far as other details go, the centre-locking Turbo wheels look ace!! Too cool to pass, in my opinion!!! So is the Miami Blue! Very nice option for the Targa! Also, you forgot to mention that the wide body is standard in any GTS model, either 2wd or 4wd!
+1. .. Luv the review. .. Man, Thomas you are a lucky man! .. Driving in a Lead - Follow formation with an instructor and a new 911 ...... You're killing me. .. Viewing makes me want to build a Porsche 911 coupe for order. .. You're a lucky man, Thomas!
In Television broadcast producing content is similar to making sausage. .. At times a day seems to go by as .. "Hurry up and wait". .. We're's the talent? We'res the union ENG.? .. Fond memories .. those were the days. Cheer's from Vail, Colorado P.S., Tell us something we don't know ... says Team Autogefühl. .. Great work! Thoroughly enjoy each segment with Thomas in full width, 4K, HD to discuss cars! ... None better.
Great video mate. I happen to have a 991.2 silver carerra 4 gts myself and absolutely LOVE IT!! I had a 991.1 carrera before the gts and although the .1 sounds a little better, the .2 kicks ass! Thanks for the awesome, and comprehensive video.
Really excellent through-windscreen views on Killarney Race Track - got the feeling we were driving with you. Enjoyed the drive on Rhodes Drive and scenic Chapman's Peak Drive, great Autogefuhl! Don't know Cape Town but it looks nice there. I think I prefer that sapphire blue Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio PDK. Thank you for such a great detailed Review, Thomas and Katharina.
Hi Thomas, I’m driving a targa GTS 991.1 after I had a 991 convertible for quite some time; you are correct the targa is noisier but if you use the deflector at the top of the windshield it would get better. Thank you for your great review, very detailed
I have the manual coupe and it’s my daily therapy session everyday driving it after work. I do regret a little not getting a cabriolet model though. Open top on this thing should be the perfect daily sports car. One and only!
Autogefuhl 2017 seems to be much better than ever before. You are covering more aspects of a car than you did before. But all the time you are missing the Ambient Testing or Illumination Testing (as you did in V6 F-Pace review). Great Review.
The GTS is design wise and in terms of the required performance the best 911 model!! The alcantara in the inside, the black details and rims look so attractive :) I wish I will be able to drive the new 911 GTS someday ** Wounderful scenery :)
911 without PASM, with PDK, with Sport Plus 18-way seats, without sports exhaust make this WAY more comfortable for day-to-day operations and longer distances. I think the standard exhaust looks better too. Good video, but you should mention that with different options selected, it really becomes a different car.
Thomas, you provide the most comprehensive motoring reviews. I really enjoyed the cars and location especially as it is a dark winter's day here. I would go with ' Mexico Blue ' on special order. ; )
Amazing view on the ocean...so peaceful...contrasting with the storm that is the 911 engine on the track! PS: I just realize watching this review on the track that we viewers are like "parrots" on your left shoulder...So, in a way Thomas, you're...a Pirate...lol.
You're asking what I would go for, Porsche-wise. I definitely would buy a Targa model. The design is just flawless. The GTS... I would say no. As you say Thomas, it has a bit of a mean look on the outside. Which I don't like. Looking at the Targa specs, I would buy a "wolf in sheepskin": a Targa 4S without the alcantara, but with all leather espresso-cognac, sport plus seats and the extra PowerKit. With that kit, you'll have exactly the same engine as the GTS with the same output. I would NOT take the sport exhaust system. I find the sound to be very annoying. If want a pruttling sound, I can buy a coffee machine. Colorwise, I'm not sure yet. I like the brown color, GTS-red suits the model very nicely too.
I think I'd set up a 911 with 911 4 Cabriolet in custom pale yellow with black Alcantara interior. Set up for road trips and travel. I love an open top. Thomas your reviews are excellent, well detailed and your perspective is valued.
Thx Thomas, as always a great review! I have a 2015 naturally aspirated Targa 4S and would not trade it for the new GTS version. I do not care for the black wheels, Targa bar or the turbo engine. However, mine is silver and I am intrigued by the new "Thomas" Miami blue!
Great review as always! This one sounds so quiet it's kind of sad. The old scream up to redline is gone and replaced with gimmicky exhaust burbles as you lift off the gas pedal instead. I'd rather have sound as you step on the gas, not lifting.
Thomas hello from South Africa; living in the Cape I recognize those roads. Thanks, in part, to your informative videos, I have ordered a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 in Sapphire Blue (bright, but not too loud) PDK (I am a wheelchair user so will also have hand controls fitted). I opted for items like the Sports seats plus (in crayon and chalk) and adaptive cruise control as I am planning to use the car on many long journeys. I did option the sport chrono package, but not Sports exhaust (as it adds no power, just noise). I cannot test drive a car, but I was very tempted to purchase a 718 Cayman, after your review, but there was little space for my wheelchair in the cabin.
One comment: the performance times have been grossly understated by Porsche. The Car and Driver instrumentation testing results speak for themselves: this is any day of the week a 3.0 second car. C/D TEST RESULTS: Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 sec Zero to 100 mph: 7.2 sec Zero to 130 mph: 12.2 sec Zero to 150 mph: 17.4 sec Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 3.8 sec Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.4 sec Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.5 sec Standing ¼-mile: 11.3 sec @ 125 mph Top speed (drag limited, mfr's claim): 193 mph Braking, 70-0 mph: 142 ft Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 1.05 g
Thomas, excellent detailed review. Thanks. You provide the information I like to see. I do agree with you on the microfiber interiors. Leather is ok but materials science moves on.
nice review Thomas bt ild go with the 911targa gts version thats with a manual transmission /stick but all naturally aspirated with offcourse the alcantara
Thank you for the great review in this beautiful place ! Just one comment concerning the wider rear, all GTS (4 or RWD) have this wider back compared to the standard 911. The only difference is the illuminated line for the 4 and a black line for the RWD.
I like the look, but I don't know why the roof is a soft top; surely you get all the disadvantages of a soft top (wear and tear, security) and all the disadvantages of a hardtop (weight, complicated system)? Why not just get the 911 soft top convertible and have better visibility and lighter weight?
Dear Thomas, Greetings from India. I do look forward (FULL HD, FULL SCREEN & FULL LENGTH :-) car reviews. Your reviews are comprehensive and exhaustive to minute details. I love your passions for Alcantara and your reviews are like late night Star Trek episodes I learnt to grown up with. Your review inspired me to buy Audi TTS and I am very happy with the purchase once you recommended and sanctioned it as a good buy. Your patent style and passion is visible in all your car reviews. If you anytime travel to India pls give us the distinguished pleasure to host you with Cars, Food and Indian Beauties 😋 Hope you read this message and if you reply to our message, we at Law People shall be thrilled. Thanks and wish you well. Handsome Thomas!!!
My thoughts are the same! Thomas-- Especially I am not fluent on using the heel and toe technique. My five other cars are auto and my RS is manual. Sure, I enjoyed driving the Manuel at time. But I am a bit rusty when I get into my manual RS. IN THE MODERN WORLD, the dual clutch is so advance today. Why not?! One may ask ourselves why light the fire from scratch. Although it's a bit more involve feel on a manual gear box car at time. In a corner, best to have both hands to hold onto today's performance car. Safer that's for sure. 🦅🦅🇺🇸
thanks! Well, we did have the S review here: th-cam.com/video/iDmjjpKscUc/w-d-xo.html And I would say... the hp is not the game changer. The Alcantara interior is :)
That targa roof mechanism is just ridiculous, for sure something will break or start leaking in a couple of years. And it adds A LOT of weight in the wrong place.
Great car, great review! Regarding the interior, if you take the standard interior in black/alcantara it is leatherette on the bolsters, headrests, etc + dashboard is not in leather either. Would be your perfect interior! zero animal skin =) One thing that I find very annoying with 911 is the horrible dashboard reflections in the windscreen. The air vents and chrono watch are mirrored in the screen :(. Look at 27:00+ in the video in the street driving part. GTS would be the pick of the current range, but the perfect combo would be a Tesla + a 991.2 GT3 (rs) for track days
Oh great, which market? Caus neither in the US configurator nor in the German one I can put Alcantara in a 911 which is not GTS. Furthermore, in the GTS, the outside is animal skin.
Great review Tomas , there is however one question that comes to my mind every time I see the back slates of a 911 . What happenes when you wash your car / rains drops and the water gets into the engine right through those fans ? I can't see anything that will stop water from flowing straight to the engine compartment . did you never wonder ? or do you know how the engineer dealt with this "Problem" ? Thanks and keep up the good work !
hmm I guess it rinses to the sides. Furthermore, I think it is not a real problem when water touches the engine, maybe just if you put some high pressure cleaner at certain parts
Thomas, could you do a review on some alcohol (ethanol) powered cars? Ive read that in Brazil 90% of cars drive on alcohol, and all major manufacturers make them.
Mich würde mal interessieren wieviele Berichterstatter in Kapstadt bei der Porsche Vorstellung mit dabei waren und warum nicht auf der Porsche eigenen Rennstrecke gefahren wurde sondern in kyalami
Die Rennstrecke gehört nicht der Marke Porsche, sondern dem Importeur in Südafrika. Auf der Rennstrecke in Johannesburg wurde der 911 Turbo S präsentiert, also hat Porsche für den GTS eine andere Rennstrecke gewählt
Der "einzige Vorteil" der Carrera 4 Versionen fällt beim GTS weg, finde ich. Der "normale" GTS Coupe mit RWD hat nämlich auch die breitere Carrera 4 Karosserie und außerdem den schwarzen Streifen, statt den rot beleuchteten, der meiner Meinung nach unsportlicher aussieht bei einem GTS. Der klassischste 911 wird immer der Carrera 2 Coupe bleiben und wäre somit auch im GTS Trimm mein absoluter Favourite! Nicht zu vernachlässigen auch über 10k€ günstiger als ein Targa. Toll finde ich die 20" Turbo S Felge in schwarz welche schon bei Porsche Tequipment allein als Satz knapp 10 TAUSEND Euro kostet. Somit ist der Preisvorteil der GTSe echt wahnsinnig gut.

Thomas is the best.. Classy, elite, smooth and WONDERFUL reviews
love to hear that keep supporting us!
the most beautiful 911 ever
i wish i had one
I think so, too
Be sure also to check out our 2nd review from South Africa, Panamera Hybrid: th-cam.com/video/SoOOZMrJcZI/w-d-xo.html
are those green/yellow breaks obligatory? its horrible.
Seriously, this man is a legend. I cannot wrap my mind around his accent and his passionate explanation of the Porsche.. Watched his review on the Cayman 2017 and this man almost made me run to the bank get a loan and buy that car. Weiterso Thomas!!!!
Vielen Dank =)
Thomas you have the best car reviews on TH-cam

Every new 911 that Porsche makes, the more and more I like the line.
TacoSeniour to be fair tho, there isn't much "new things" about the 911, but then again you can't really improve on a perfect recipe
Over shoulder camera view in the race track is very good it actually communicated the experience very well , it showed the character of the car , good job keep up the good work guys.
great!
A Stuttgart plated Porsche 911 GTS, amd the beautiful weather and nature of South Africa. All components to make a great video, hope you enjoyed your time there.
we did, and now you can do with the video :)
The best review of the new 911 gts ,you are an aspirating talent!

The reason I watch Autogefühl? Thomas. He's the best. so precise. Love those reviews, even of the cas i dont particularly like
:o)
That car looks like so much fun to drive on the track. And that track looks like a lot of fun too. I'm not really a fan of the targa roof but every other version I really like.
Terrific review Thomas ! Very well crafted presentation. You make it look easy. Love the 911 lineup. I would like to own one in each variant and color ! I'll be watching this review over and over again. Beautiful scenery in South Africa ! Thanks for these fabulous reviews ! Nobody does it better !
+fhkazm thanks so much, enjoy!
Autogefühl is on fire! Within one day you've posted two hours of Porsche content with beautiful cars and scenery - awesome stuff!
I knew you like that - enjoy both =) greetz
I really miss the awesome N/A engine sound :(
Thomas I love your diction! Another great review. Keep up the good work!
=)
Hey Thomas, fan from NZ here. Love the scenery and high quality of production.
My preferred colour is Graphite Blue Metallic. Keep up the great work!
thanks man and best greetings!
hey Thomas. the image quality is amazing. never seen such amazing video quality on TH-cam before. just w.o.w.!
thanks, join us for more reviews!
Very helpful review thanks. GTS coupe in carmine red is my favorite.
The best car review channel ever!
thanks m8 !
GTS Coupe is my love! Really, the dream car!
The Targa looks great! But I see the names are becoming more and more complicated: ''911 Targa 4 GTS''! It's very long and very hard to memorize! Had I had the money, I'd choose the ''911 badge'' for the rear (it's a simple ''911'' script! Suits it better!

Your videos have been invaluable. Thank you so much for the time you take to make such detailed and thoughtful reviews.
2 Porsche full reviews in one day? You are spoiling us! Also, it must be nice to leave the snow for a while. Wish I could too!
hehe yeah it is. So you got enough stuff to enjoy =)
Thomas, when you come to New York City, you can video my 4S cabriolet, 2014, drive it and enjoy natural aspiration and remember the good old days.
+Attilio Rizzo Jr. 😀

The work put into this is hardly seen, but I think that is good for the viewer :)

way to go :)
Great video mate. I happen to have a 991.2 silver carerra 4 gts myself and absolutely LOVE IT!! I had a 991.1 carrera before the gts and although the .1 sounds a little better, the .2 kicks ass! Thanks for the awesome, and comprehensive video.
Every new 911 model that comes out, looks just like the previous one. Marketing for naive. Bravo Porsche.
Excellent review, Thomas. I think the 991.2 is best as a coupé. GTS is quite a well equipped model.
+Nathan Johnson 👏👏👏
Great car, a beauty! Thank you Thomas for this good review.
appreciated!
Glad you are back Thomas!
always a pleasure!
Really excellent through-windscreen views on Killarney Race Track - got the feeling we were driving with you. Enjoyed the drive on Rhodes Drive and scenic Chapman's Peak Drive, great Autogefuhl! Don't know Cape Town but it looks nice there. I think I prefer that sapphire blue Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio PDK. Thank you for such a great detailed Review, Thomas and Katharina.
thanks bro! Such a lovely place
I'm from South Africa! I love the detailed reviews. Keep up the good work.
thanks, tune in for more of our stuff!
Hi Thomas, I’m driving a targa GTS 991.1 after I had a 991 convertible for quite some time; you are correct the targa is noisier but if you use the deflector at the top of the windshield it would get better. Thank you for your great review, very detailed
thanks for the feedback :)
Coupe 4 GTS with PDK for me Thomas. Living in England with wet weather and poor roads the 4 wheel drive is very helpful.
sounds like a reasonable choice then :)
I have the manual coupe and it’s my daily therapy session everyday driving it after work. I do regret a little not getting a cabriolet model though. Open top on this thing should be the perfect daily sports car. One and only!
Wow, just an amazing review with such great detail and clear explanations. Consider me subscribed!
great to have u here now!
Great review, Thomas and team - dream car and stunning location!
Great to have your support!
beautiful scenery and of course beautiful car
Best Greetings to you too, Thomas.
correction: All GTS models have wide read not just the AWD. thats what make the GTS special
Autogefuhl 2017 seems to be much better than ever before. You are covering more aspects of a car than you did before. But all the time you are missing the Ambient Testing or Illumination Testing (as you did in V6 F-Pace review). Great Review.
thanks! Not always possible by daylight :)
Driving chapmans peak in a 911... this is definitely on my bucket list
Last time i had the honor with a rental datsun go
The GTS is design wise and in terms of the required performance the best 911 model!! The alcantara in the inside, the black details and rims look so attractive :) I wish I will be able to drive the new 911 GTS someday **
Wounderful scenery :)
Great review Thomas. Love the race track segment.
glad u like it :)
911 without PASM, with PDK, with Sport Plus 18-way seats, without sports exhaust make this WAY more comfortable for day-to-day operations and longer distances. I think the standard exhaust looks better too. Good video, but you should mention that with different options selected, it really becomes a different car.
+Aaron Lang good setup
Thomas, you provide the most comprehensive motoring reviews. I really enjoyed the cars and location especially as it is a dark winter's day here. I would go with ' Mexico Blue ' on special order. ; )
thanks bro!
Amazing view on the ocean...so peaceful...contrasting with the storm that is the 911 engine on the track!
PS: I just realize watching this review on the track that we viewers are like "parrots" on your left shoulder...So, in a way Thomas, you're...a Pirate...lol.
haha awesome =)
Very detailed review! Thanks for the video!
thanks pal!
You're asking what I would go for, Porsche-wise. I definitely would buy a Targa model. The design is just flawless. The GTS... I would say no. As you say Thomas, it has a bit of a mean look on the outside. Which I don't like.

I like the targa because you can drive with the roof open but you don't feel too exposed
I think I'd set up a 911 with 911 4 Cabriolet in custom pale yellow with black Alcantara interior. Set up for road trips and travel. I love an open top.
Thomas your reviews are excellent, well detailed and your perspective is valued.
+Joe DeF great to have ur support! And nice choice
Tomas can you try with POV camera? Everything is TOP of the TOP, please continue
hey m8, isnt the action camera mounted kind of POV?
Yes, you are right about camera, but I mean Point Of View of driver (camera on head) ..
that would look strange in the other camera view :)
Greetings to you Thomas from one of your South African viewers :)
! :)
great comprehensive review! i found the exhaust note to be dampened compared to real life perhaps due to the choice of microphone/video equipment.
+sheikhmahmoud thanks Join us for more
Thx Thomas, as always a great review! I have a 2015 naturally aspirated Targa 4S and would not trade it for the new GTS version. I do not care for the black wheels, Targa bar or the turbo engine. However, mine is silver and I am intrigued by the new "Thomas" Miami blue!
eheh for sure =)
Great review as always! This one sounds so quiet it's kind of sad. The old scream up to redline is gone and replaced with gimmicky exhaust burbles as you lift off the gas pedal instead. I'd rather have sound as you step on the gas, not lifting.

Great review ! The best 911 on offer is GTS targa
thanks Charles!
I wonder windshield washer fluid won't get into the cabin when the roof is lowered.
nice review Thomas bt ild go with the 911targa gts version thats with a manual transmission /stick but all naturally aspirated with offcourse the alcantara
I like reviews like this.
thanks join us for more ! :)
As always.. great reviews
thanks stick with us!
Thank you for the great review in this beautiful place ! Just one comment concerning the wider rear, all GTS (4 or RWD) have this wider back compared to the standard 911. The only difference is the illuminated line for the 4 and a black line for the RWD.
thanks!
SOUTH AFRICAN VIEWER :) That Would Be My Dream Daily Car :D
Thomas is the greatest car reviewer........get me out of the states I rather be in die Großes Kapital von Autos
thanks man keep following us!
nice review and nice car again
thank you!
My favourite 911 version
I personally like the design of targa but I do agree with you that it's not practical as convertible.
When is the 992 GTS road test coming? 🤞🏼
Keep up the good work!
we'll do
I like the look, but I don't know why the roof is a soft top; surely you get all the disadvantages of a soft top (wear and tear, security) and all the disadvantages of a hardtop (weight, complicated system)? Why not just get the 911 soft top convertible and have better visibility and lighter weight?
that's what I was saying. Targa is for visual only, looks great, but soft top is usually better
Damn... I was JUST in Cape Town...... i miss it so much.
Dear Thomas,
Greetings from India.
I do look forward (FULL HD, FULL SCREEN & FULL LENGTH :-) car reviews.
Your reviews are comprehensive and exhaustive to minute details. I love your passions for Alcantara and your reviews are like late night Star Trek episodes I learnt to grown up with.
Your review inspired me to buy Audi TTS and I am very happy with the purchase once you recommended and sanctioned it as a good buy.
Your patent style and passion is visible in all your car reviews.

Handsome Thomas!!!
Hey m8, such great greetings, thank you very much and all the best to you. Great to have you here! Love Indian food :)
I ordered a gray 4gts manual as well- it should arrive next year
congrats!
My thoughts are the same! Thomas--
Especially I am not fluent on using the heel and toe technique. My five other cars are auto and my RS is manual. Sure, I enjoyed driving the Manuel at time. But I am a bit rusty when I get into my manual RS. IN THE MODERN WORLD, the dual clutch is so advance today. Why not?!
One may ask ourselves why light the fire from scratch. Although it's a bit more involve feel on a manual gear box car at time.
In a corner, best to have both hands to hold onto today's performance car. Safer that's for sure.
🦅🦅🇺🇸
yeah indeed
Love that car - Miami Blue would be epic
Miami Blue is epic - got a Boxster in Miami blue here at the moment - stay tuned for the review :)
An excellent review, as always. Well done Thomas! Just one question, did the 30 bhp increase from the carrera S make a noticeable difference?
thanks! Well, we did have the S review here: th-cam.com/video/iDmjjpKscUc/w-d-xo.html
And I would say... the hp is not the game changer. The Alcantara interior is :)
my favourite colour is miami blue,cobalt blue,but cayman is my favourite car ,
Great channel!!!!
thanks, keep tuninig in! :)
That targa roof mechanism is just ridiculous, for sure something will break or start leaking in a couple of years. And it adds A LOT of weight in the wrong place.
agree. Just a design feature
Great car, great review! Regarding the interior, if you take the standard interior in black/alcantara it is leatherette on the bolsters, headrests, etc + dashboard is not in leather either. Would be your perfect interior! zero animal skin =)
One thing that I find very annoying with 911 is the horrible dashboard reflections in the windscreen. The air vents and chrono watch are mirrored in the screen :(. Look at 27:00+ in the video in the street driving part.
GTS would be the pick of the current range, but the perfect combo would be a Tesla + a 991.2 GT3 (rs) for track days
Oh great, which market? Caus neither in the US configurator nor in the German one I can put Alcantara in a 911 which is not GTS. Furthermore, in the GTS, the outside is animal skin.
Great review Tomas ,
there is however one question that comes to my mind every time I see the back slates of a 911 . What happenes when you wash your car / rains drops and the water gets into the engine right through those fans ? I can't see anything that will stop water from flowing straight to the engine compartment . did you never wonder ? or do you know how the engineer dealt with this "Problem" ?
Thanks and keep up the good work !
hmm I guess it rinses to the sides. Furthermore, I think it is not a real problem when water touches the engine, maybe just if you put some high pressure cleaner at certain parts
Any idea if the GPS work in other countries in Africa ?
Good question, there should be map packages for every country basically
Great review. I would still go for the Turbo S; that's my choice. Just need to get saving!
Turbo S review on ice with AJ shooting beginning tomorrow :)
Autogefühl Brilliant, can't wait! I test drove the 991.1 Turbo S and it blew me away; incredible!
a turbo gts would be awesome
Greeting from South Africa
greetz!
Thomas, could you do a review on some alcohol (ethanol) powered cars? Ive read that in Brazil 90% of cars drive on alcohol, and all major manufacturers make them.
indeed Brazil is big in those, however here we cannot get one
alles lob fur schones video
Danke =)
Thomas - thanks for your another great review!
Which 911 do you preferred? Manual or auto gear box ? 🦅🦅🇺🇸
I like the auto gear box, I find it safe and sporty to keep two hands at the steering wheel all teh time
in my Jeremy Clarkson voice "Looks like Angela Merkel sat on a VW Beetle!"
Mich würde mal interessieren wieviele Berichterstatter in Kapstadt bei der Porsche Vorstellung mit dabei waren und warum nicht auf der Porsche eigenen Rennstrecke gefahren wurde sondern in kyalami
Die Rennstrecke gehört nicht der Marke Porsche, sondern dem Importeur in Südafrika. Auf der Rennstrecke in Johannesburg wurde der 911 Turbo S präsentiert, also hat Porsche für den GTS eine andere Rennstrecke gewählt
Der "einzige Vorteil" der Carrera 4 Versionen fällt beim GTS weg, finde ich. Der "normale" GTS Coupe mit RWD hat nämlich auch die breitere Carrera 4 Karosserie und außerdem den schwarzen Streifen, statt den rot beleuchteten, der meiner Meinung nach unsportlicher aussieht bei einem GTS. Der klassischste 911 wird immer der Carrera 2 Coupe bleiben und wäre somit auch im GTS Trimm mein absoluter Favourite! Nicht zu vernachlässigen auch über 10k€ günstiger als ein Targa. Toll finde ich die 20" Turbo S Felge in schwarz welche schon bei Porsche Tequipment allein als Satz knapp 10 TAUSEND Euro kostet. Somit ist der Preisvorteil der GTSe echt wahnsinnig gut.
Danke für das Feedback!
***** Das sollte gar keine Kritik an der Review sein ;) Die war wie immer sehr, sehr gut! Alle Details waren drin und sehr gut erklärt :)
Klar hatte ich auch so aufgefasst, wir freuen uns immer über Feedback und zusätzliche Anmerkungen / Gedanken, die sinnvoll und fundiert sind!
Greetings from Greece! :)
kudos!
Could you review one day a base Carrera Non S non GTS non Sport exhaust Non Sport chrono package .
Good idea. Let's see what we can do, it depends on if they put basis cars in their fleet which they usually dont :/
