I wish I could confirm the good road conditions here in germany but they're actually really fucked in southern germany and generally in the western/south of ger. Only the east has very good roads due to the money we spent on infastructure there.... But the cars a great, yes :D
+jerusdc Thank you, 30 hp not noticable much but there's a difference for sure. GTS is a good car though I miss the 997 turbo s, it is a beast. Exhausts are standard on all carreras I drove.
Dear Frank, thanks a lot for your reply! Sorry, I assumed you were German, so let me write in English now. I really do like the 991 GTS Cabrio a lot, but it just does not have the aura of a Ferrari, which is a legend. Also, the 458 Spider is just a very good car! However, it is more expensive to purchase (about 50.000 Euros difference on the 2nd hand car market) and more expensive to maintain than a 991 GTS (I am talking about Germany). As regards depreciation, I guess the prices for a used 458 Spider will still go down considerably in the next years. Currently, a 458 Spider (1 owner, car dealer and not from private, no accident, no re-paint, full service history, red color) in excellent original condition cost about 185.000 Euros in Germany. A 991 GTS Cabrio in the same condition cost about 135.000 Euros, thus about 50.000 less than a 458 Spider. I guess the 991 GTS Cabrio will also depreciate over the next years. It's really a hard decision: should I wait 2-3 years more to save tens of thousands of Euros due to depreciation? Should I get a 458 Spider or a 991 GTS Cabrio? I am still undecided.
Expect around 15-20% depreciation per year for both models. There are some exceptions though, ie; Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche GT3 RS would appreciate per year. Obviously they are not cabrio and the price range is higher than your intended budget. Porsche GTS looks very good with red brake calipers and darkened alloys, it set itself apart from other 911 range nicely. I think you can buy a GTS that would turn heads should you pick one with a nice colour. Ferrari 458 will depreciate a little less but you pay €50k more, not to mention the maintenance be higher than a Porsche :( I'd buy a red 458 over a GTS if I had to pick one and the money was not an issue. You would be happy with either of those cars. Both amazing. I live in Berlin, I'd be happy to meet if you need to discuss this longer. Otherwise all the best, keep me posted :)
Thanks a lot again, Frank, this is indeed very helpful! I guess I will just wait for a couple of years more. I'm not willing to pay 190.000 now for a 458 Spider to see them on the market for about 100.000 in three years from now... :) Thanks a lot for the nice offer to meet! I am from Berlin but I live now in Kenya. The Ferrari (or Porsche) would stay in Berlin! I'll keep you posted!
papoopa5800 Yes because 290 is real real slow... this seems fast as **** next to your Skoda no doubt.. it's called wind resistance.. every car suffers it at those speeds..
Hallo Frank, seit Monaten beschaeftige ich mich mit der Frage, ob ich mir einen 991 GTS Cabrio oder einen Ferrari 458 Spider zulegen soll. Hast Du mal einen 458 gefahren? Was waere Deine Empfehlung? Vielen Dank, Stefan
Hallo Stefan. Ja fuhr ich ein Coupé 458 Ferrari. Es war eine schöne Fahrt und viel Aufmerksamkeit von den Menschen. Wenn Sie die Aufmerksamkeit und viel Geld wollen bekommen 458. Wenn Sie Zuverlässigkeit bevorzugen und bescheiden eine GTS bekommen sein. Es ist eine Frage der Wahl. Viel Glück damit. Lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn Sie kaufen. Tschüss
Krasen Maximov when you have alot of experience and the traffic looks clearly it is fine. Also the car is not overspeeding still under 300 Km/h the wheels look fine ( i can see speed woppeling or traction lose)
Hab den Neuen "GT4" bei mir in Essen schon paar mal in Gelb gesehen..schön mit schwarzen Felgen. Sieht sehr auffällig schön aus. In Schwarz sieht er eher aus wie ein Holzkohle-Brikett :D Aber über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich gut streiten. Aber egal... Hauptsache PORSCHE!! :)
mid corner backoff OMG i was waiting for Porsche stability to say fuck this im out! you were so close to dying on those bumps ze autoclub was calling funeral services!
Nice video Frank! Just a question, where did you find such an empty Autobahn?? Anytime I am on the road it is full, so I can't go far beyond 110-130mph
Hi Frank, thanks for the reply. I am only 17 (only 15 more days until im 18) and only have limited experience, day time only... I can't wait to go for a drive at 4 am by myself :P Seems awesome :D
This is one of my favorite videos ever. The beautiful sunset, the rain, the nostalgic sound of the 3.8 engine. All a man can dream...
Man, the Germans know how to build cars,and the roads to drive them on.

+Luca B. - The G. u need to travel more :) Try Bulgarian "autobahn" for example, or Polish interstates
blackcarmafia Thanks for these hints ;)
Luca B. u can literally feel u crossed border :D
Not to mention they know which lane to use for what and when.
Porsche > Rest of the cars in the world
the sound of that motor is so sweet -can listen to that all day!! (thanks for withholding narrative and for posting this awesome video)
Gut, dass du den Motor schonend einfährst ;)
991.1 is my favorite 911! 997 too!
Best car ever for me !
Me too,man.
Honestly, This is so amazing. It is literally my dream to own a supercar and especially drive it on this interstate.
Tyler Smith and? Have you reached your dream?
What about your dream today?
AMAZING! Thanks for uploading this
I SWEAR IM YOUR 1,000TH SUBSCRIBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
991.1 right?
Yeah
Seems nice and stable at high speed. Nice. The extra 30 HP really noticeable compared to the standard S?
+jerusdc Thank you, 30 hp not noticable much but there's a difference for sure. GTS is a good car though I miss the 997 turbo s, it is a beast. Exhausts are standard on all carreras I drove.
Ended up getting a C4S with Sport Exhaust . Really happy.
jerusdc Good choice mate, enjoy !
Ps: Let me know if you ever visit Germany.
Thanks!
+Tamborean standard exhaust does have the option to open and close valves!
68 liter gas tank on the 4 GTS.
Maybach at 1.21 min
amazing video! good job! pure sound! so good!
That yellow E36 M3 will do nicely on the autobahn as well.
Bro what's the mount type like? I badly Want to start recording my drives and want a mount like this. Can a 5 inch phone fit into the mount?
It's a Sony action cam mount. Not sure if it fits but worth checking the photos on google maybe you figure something out.
That's a sweet sounding engine.

Nice video. Thank you for uploading.
Why does the car struggle to reach 290 km/h? Did you go a bit easy on the throttle or is it just that way. Its a ravishing car though!
It sounded like he was feathering it
papoopa5800 Because it's the 4 wheel drive version. These are heavier and slower than the two wheel drive versions.
It 'only' has 430 hp. About 80 or even more are lost at the wheels because of 4wd, so it's not a mindblowingly fast performer in a straight line.
papoopa5800 Yes because 290 is real real slow... this seems fast as **** next to your Skoda no doubt.. it's called wind resistance.. every car suffers it at those speeds..
+MagicAyrtonforever Exactly!!! unless you have horsepower like the bugatti

frankword75 ist die ganze a9 von leipzig bis berlin so schön geteert?
JK nick ja, aber zwischen Coswig und Linthe gibt es ne 120er S-Kurve, welche man nicht mit 300 nehmen sollte ;)
+Da Suchti No risk no fun :p

the guy was out of his mind! 183mph in the dark and on a wet road? Did he have a death wish?
+Nhat Tran It´s on a german Autobahn. You have to drive this speed! And it´s legal by law.
+donperry1 if u drove a stang or vette ;)
fergoesdayton u cant hydroplane on Autobahn :) just on "highway"
Great car, but its struggling to reach 300km/h
That sound!! :O
driving fast on wet road is absolutely stupid

Klasse!!!
