Missing the analog tach. But having an electric turbo may actually make it feel more natural. And the weight stayed relatively light. Good things I guess?

Really clever engineering, and while I’ve not owned a Porsche I’ve been a fan since I was a kid and enjoyed driving several (including a 992 GTS) on track, but… more power, more complexity, more weight and more cost are 4 things I’d put at the bottom of my need to have list as an enthusiast. I’m beginning to realise how on point Jason Camissa was when he called the Toyota GR86 the world’s best $40k Porsche!
I just took delivery of a 992 GTS at the end of March and couldn't be happier. It's already got way more power than you can tap driving on the street, but kudos to Porsche for upping their game. I prefer the analog tach.
I remember clearly when ferrari brought out the start stop button for the first time (the one that you have to still turn physical key on first) it was the coolest thing ever and looks and feel like race cars. Now the buttons are considered appliances thing and key is cool lol
When i first read the title i thought they ruined the car, but now... this is actually acceptable, nothing to really complain about except the lack of a manual transmission
Cool to see them integrate the MGU-K & MGU-H from F1 in a production car in a way that actually makes sense. The front grill flaps don't match the car imo, but the rest of this is super cool.
@@BboyVReck True, but 919 used totally different system. GU-H. The generator harvested energy from the gasses from the turbo at the wastegate into the battery. But it couldn't actually spin the compressor shaft, not being part of the same housing. It was used purely to improve efficiency rather than minimizing turbo lag.
Exterior design i think its an improvement. More slick both front and rear end. Interior of the 992 was great but why on earth did you replace that beautiful analogue cluster with a digital one! That rpm cluster was perhaps the most beautiful one 911 has ever had. I think we are fed up with cars being faster and faster, only few can get the most of them. We want cars with character and sports feeling and instead we get, more horsepower, more screens, no manuals and hence less driving experience.
Completely agree with everything you just said here, feels like they’re just following trends and going cheap. It’s a real shame, the analogue rev counter tipped me over the edge!
The 992 tacho was instant classic - a much nicer look than the 991 - but a full digidash is nothing special as it's in every car these days. I think I prefer the original 992's slightly stepped rear end/taillights. Not sure about new headlights with everything inside as the 992 front end is already a bit plain, it's become even plainer now it loses the indicator/drls
I found the 992 dash rather awkwardly designed, as if they couldnt decide whether to keep with tradition or jump into digital. The 991 series dash was a more traditional setup with lovely analogue gages in the circular binnacles and one being the multifunction digital display. I'm not really a fan of the 992 dash layout but I do give them HUGE credit for not just slapping a tablet vertically onto the dash and calling it a day. So it's better than that for sure.
@@jessez8503coz most people don’t follow F1 in depth enough know what MGU-H and MGU-H refers to. But an electric anti-lag system is not new technology. I think VW or Fiat at least conducted some research into a similar setup over 20 years ago
Porsche should've just paid you to make this their "corporate" video. Way more natural, conversational while still top-notch lighting and cinematography. Well done.
Enjoyed the presentation as always. Although I struggled to see parts of it even after turning up the brightness and backlighting all the way, as well as adjusting a few other settings to enhance low light images.
“T-Hybrid stands for Turbo Hybrid. Key among its developments is the adoption of a new BorgWarner turbocharger featuring an energy recuperation system that operates through the capture of hot exhaust gases. Similar to that employed on the 2.0-litre V4 petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain used by the 919 racer, it is capable of harvesting up to 11kW of kinetic electricity.” - Autocar
At 11:00, the rotated tachometer is most definitely retro. From 1965 to 1989, the 911 used a VDO mechanical tachometer that was just held in a hole in the dashboard with a rubber grommet. It was very common for owners to pop it out and rotate it around to put the redline at the top.
we all knew this was going to happen eventually, it looks like they did the best job they could. Can wait to see what a GT3 version of a t-hyprid setup looks like, maybe a baby 919?
When F1 ditch the MGU-H cause they say it's not road relevant and to attract Porche/VW, then Porche decided not to enter F1 then released a road car with an MGU-H. WTF.
The new mild hybrid architecture also allows to take out one turbocharger since the single one remaining is hybrid in a way with an electric motor of its own. A Porsche turbocharger weights around 25 kg from what I found so the total weight of the added weight of the hybrid system must be 75 kg or so (and thus allowing for mutualisation so on balance adds only 50 kg)
Thanks for the vid. Very optimistic about the GTS new tech. Even with this new hybrid tech, Porsche always know what’s needed to make the 911 great. Only thing I don’t like on the new GTS is the vertical front slats - the front of the base looks much better.
This is all well and good, but I’m already awaiting the next generation. The idea of them having the design locked and developing the 998 is incredibly exciting.
I'm going to be forever niffed that Porsche bitched about the MGU-H in F1 as being cost prohibitive and wanted it gone, to then stick it in a 911, while ditching their F1 attempt.
6:29 Sheesh... Thanks for making me feel old! Haha, but my goodness the engineering the Porsche team continues to produce is always astounding. I feel like even if Porsche shouldn't, that sometimes they still do just to prove they can haha.
992.1 the “last best” 911? The 911 future looks great yea… but you don’t drive a 911 to see a screen rev up. I don’t know, it just doesn’t feel right, having a gear knob, a twisty startup and a real rev counter just adds to the experience of the 911. I think a 911 deserves a 911 interior and not a taycan one. So many thoughts and opinions….. we need the first drive review 😂
What a beautiful well enjoyable and as usual marvellous engineering vehicle. As you can tell I am a fan and will always will be. Great work Porsche absorbing results and waiting for the Turbo. Love it
yeah, they lost me at no manual; they seem determined to not let Porsche be Porsche anymore(aka a sports car) and just be a luxury item for ppl who can't drive. Like I have said, I stopped the video but I am curious about the, probably, 200k price tag because, of course they need to increase the price to support the "new and revolutionary" technology.
The fact that it’s assumed u can’t be a “driver” if u don’t have a manual Is insane. Granted manual is great and fun. But so is a pdk… except a pdk is quicker. Porsche has so many good manual products, stop whining about one car that would make no sense as manual.
This thing is gonna be mega. The hybrid system is only *adding* to this car. From an enthusiast perspective, it’s a definite improvement over the 991.2 & 992.1 as well. Edit: boo no rotate to start on the left of the wheel
I like this a lot. It uses the hybrid system to improve the ICE system. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The haters are unimaginative and had decided to hate it "because it's a hybrid and has EV-components" beforehand. I'm glad I'm not you guys.

@@ggthewhale mate I regularly drive GT4 RS on track and the numbers don't lie. Soon buying a Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, not road legal, real racecar, funny it doesn't come in a manual trans. Back into your armchair grandpa, dreaming...
This is a trick of how Porsche justifies people about the actual weight gain. The GTS 992.2 comes standard WITHOUT rear seats (-21 pounds). But it's still 110 pounds heavier than the 992.1 GTS that does come with standard rear seats! So the actual weight difference between both models is 131 pounds!!
If you drive the car hard with lots of launches can you effectively drain the battery and loose the added performance. Then you have to wait until it regenerates?
Great! A 50 kg increase isn't that bad. If they've cleverly placed it close to the ground (which they probably have), you won't notice a thing. Plus you can still pick one without the system. Good job Porsche!
How come no-one is mentioning the insane price hike Porsche is trying to push. This nice GTS as a Targa with full options will set you back 250.000 Euros. 250. Let that sink in.
I like how Porsche is using engine design concepts from Formula 1 to improve the efficiency and output of their cars taking it to the next level. Not completely sure if the hybrid motor to eliminate Turbo lag originated with F1, but it seems like they trailblazed the concept. Bravo Porsche for bringing this to the consumer level
This development of increasing engine capacity is very interesting, especially for a German car brand. I hope that other car manufacturers will also follow this trend!
Digital tach, heavier, NO MANUAL OPTION, and odd front and rear. Nope. The GTS suspension already gives up when you push it super hard. I've had many 911's and this is a side grade, not an upgrade.
NA engines less fuel efficient compared to turbocharged or hybrid. I'm relatively certain (but correct me if I'm wrong) there are regulations in place for major manufacturers to force quotas on how many fuel effient cars they have to produce compared to their less efficient (sport) models. Basically they can't afford to produce less efficient cars in high numbers if they don't have a much higher number in efficient car sales. That forces manufacturers to create more fuel efficient designs, convert their lineup and limit their NA sports cars to small volume top of the line production.
@@tngdwn8350 I am not 100% sure of the rules either. But they have the Taycan to offset their ICE models. They make a lot more SUV’s than 911’s. Make them hybrid. My 3.6L 997 gives me amazing economy. It never goes under 30 mpg and I can get 60 mpg on a motorway run. So I am sure that 14 years on they can do even better.
Not terrible. Only thing that looks odd is the front bumper. There’s no paint matched part on the bottom half of the bumper which really makes it stick out and not in a good way
The transmission mounted e-motor is not the scary thing to service/replace. I bet that turbo with integrated motor/generator is £10k at least as spare part.
The vertical slats are horrendous, they ruin the front end and that 3.6L flat six wouldn’t break a sweat producing that power without the eMotor and electric turbo.
What's over? The Porsche hybrid system is a lot lighter than other manufacturers hybrid powertrains and you can still get a 911 with no hybrid tech. Seems like they did a great job?
@@DanielSadjadian Although the technology is quite impressive, it marks the beginning of Porsche electrifying their 911 line up. I don't think anyone wants to drive an EV 911.
*correction F1 doesn’t have a watergate either 3:08 they have the same sort of tech for quite a few years (MGU-H) and they are getting rid of it in 2026
If it makes no difference in terms of sustainability, why go hybrid? Adds weight, goes against all Porsche purists wants and deletes manual option. Porsche is pushing synthetic fuels majorly, why then make this? I do not understand any of it.
Thanks Porsche...you just made my 2022 Porsche Turbo S the last fully IC engine 911 Turbo S. Keeps it's value up. Sad part....I just can't get into hybrids. Oh well.

if u love doing everything manual so much i recommend breathing and blinking manually

@@ggthewhale mate I regularly drive GT4 RS on track and the numbers don't lie. Soon buying a Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, not road legal, real racecar, funny it doesn't come in a manual trans.
Back into your armchair grandpa, dreaming...
it will get one in the carrera eventualy, because it still has the old engine and no electric engine, that needs to be in the gearbox
This is a trick of how Porsche justifies people about the actual weight gain. The GTS 992.2 comes standard WITHOUT rear seats (-21 pounds).
But it's still 110 pounds heavier than the 992.1 GTS that does come with standard rear seats!
So the actual weight difference between both models is 131 pounds!!
i think it's an amazing piece of engineering!
If you drive the car hard with lots of launches can you effectively drain the battery and loose the added performance. Then you have to wait until it regenerates?
Great! A 50 kg increase isn't that bad. If they've cleverly placed it close to the ground (which they probably have), you won't notice a thing. Plus you can still pick one without the system. Good job Porsche!
50kg is a disaster...
Plus another 20kg when you add the rear seats back in!
@@Jay-xr3sb Were they measured in before the facelift?
I’ll still take these anytime of the days. Waiting for upcoming Turbo S 🔥
imaging servicing it years later, after warrantee period
Imagine buying a Porsche and not being able to maintain it.
@@kraenk12 plenty:)
This is awesome. Id love this thing. I want an AWD “turbo” model though.
No analog instrumentcluster damn
I think this is pretty amazing. The turbo tech is game changing.
Everybody whines until they get one
Porsche not stopping perfecting a car thats already perfect. Just Porsche things
Need this in Dakar spec!
How come no-one is mentioning the insane price hike Porsche is trying to push. This nice GTS as a Targa with full options will set you back 250.000 Euros. 250. Let that sink in.
I am staring enough on digital devices during the whole day, no analog no buy
You couldn’t afford it anwy
I like how Porsche is using engine design concepts from Formula 1 to improve the efficiency and output of their cars taking it to the next level. Not completely sure if the hybrid motor to eliminate Turbo lag originated with F1, but it seems like they trailblazed the concept. Bravo Porsche for bringing this to the consumer level
MY GTS SPEC'D OUT AT $200,550 USD
That flywheel system in the racecar is absolutely nuts! never knew about that
porsche does it right again
This development of increasing engine capacity is very interesting, especially for a German car brand. I hope that other car manufacturers will also follow this trend!
Coming to occupy a tax break near you.
love the grey colour and in a front 3/4 angle with the headlights, rear haunches and spoiler up it has really classic styling 👌
Do you know which grey that is?
The engineering that Porsche put into their vehicle's is simply outstanding 🎉 Not bad for a Beetle as Jeremy Clarkson would say lol 😅
Digital tach, heavier, NO MANUAL OPTION, and odd front and rear. Nope.
The GTS suspension already gives up when you push it super hard. I've had many 911's and this is a side grade, not an upgrade.
Great video. Straight to the point and entertaining. Unlike the other waffling channels
Why can’t they just make a it with a naturally aspirated engine? No turbos, no hybrid, extra weight, no complications!
GT3 Touring?
@@julesstevenshe means for an entry level price
NA engines less fuel efficient compared to turbocharged or hybrid. I'm relatively certain (but correct me if I'm wrong) there are regulations in place for major manufacturers to force quotas on how many fuel effient cars they have to produce compared to their less efficient (sport) models.
Basically they can't afford to produce less efficient cars in high numbers if they don't have a much higher number in efficient car sales. That forces manufacturers to create more fuel efficient designs, convert their lineup and limit their NA sports cars to small volume top of the line production.
@@tngdwn8350 I am not 100% sure of the rules either. But they have the Taycan to offset their ICE models. They make a lot more SUV’s than 911’s. Make them hybrid. My 3.6L 997 gives me amazing economy. It never goes under 30 mpg and I can get 60 mpg on a motorway run. So I am sure that 14 years on they can do even better.
@@julesstevens limited production run and only their favourite customers were offered them. Unfortunately.
Not terrible. Only thing that looks odd is the front bumper. There’s no paint matched part on the bottom half of the bumper which really makes it stick out and not in a good way
Please remove that boring start button!!
the 918 spyder will always have my heart what a gorgeous car
Looks like every other Porsche out there
Torque fill may be old hat but but Porsche certainly have delivered in the performance department!
RIP 911
The transmission mounted e-motor is not the scary thing to service/replace. I bet that turbo with integrated motor/generator is £10k at least as spare part.
meh...too much crap...6 speed pls.
The vertical slats are horrendous, they ruin the front end and that 3.6L flat six wouldn’t break a sweat producing that power without the eMotor and electric turbo.
130 grand for a 911?! Jeez...
Nah that sounds legit
No turbo lag is a reason enough for me to upgrade from my 2020 c4s.
no manual ....no buy
No Woman no cry.
Genuine question. Can you afford one in the first place?
@@denizegilmez8297 genuine answer. None of your damn business
@@rtorcatoPerfect answer.
@@rtorcato so the answer is no.
I'll keep my 2016 3.8 GTS with its analog gauges, thank you very much. 🙂 I like to keep it simple and straight forward.
It's over.
What's over? The Porsche hybrid system is a lot lighter than other manufacturers hybrid powertrains and you can still get a 911 with no hybrid tech. Seems like they did a great job?
its been over, they've been out of ideas for decades
Yup. No manual on a GTS is awful. The GTS was Porsche’s sweet spot.
Tragedy
@@DanielSadjadian Although the technology is quite impressive, it marks the beginning of Porsche electrifying their 911 line up. I don't think anyone wants to drive an EV 911.
*correction F1 doesn’t have a watergate either 3:08 they have the same sort of tech for quite a few years (MGU-H) and they are getting rid of it in 2026
If it makes no difference in terms of sustainability, why go hybrid? Adds weight, goes against all Porsche purists wants and deletes manual option. Porsche is pushing synthetic fuels majorly, why then make this? I do not understand any of it.
It’s way faster
@@kraenk12yes and heavier and less engaging due to no option for manual. Makes no sense to me
Thanks Porsche...you just made my 2022 Porsche Turbo S the last fully IC engine 911 Turbo S. Keeps it's value up. Sad part....I just can't get into hybrids. Oh well.
I think this is a hybrid in name only. Just ticking boxes for the EU regulators.
No manual? Wow. That's 40% of their customers...
None of these changes are good ones.
The 991.1 GTS manual still the pick of the GTS's.
