…Just got exactly the same. Lava Orange with the ducktail. Cost more than the 991.2 GTS and just £2k shy of a 992 C2S. But I wouldn’t even look at those.
I bought a 2016 991.1 GTS (PDK) 6 months ago, with only 9k mileage. GT silver with ducktail. After I bought it, I spend $3k to upgrade the PCM so I can use wireless ApplePlay, including front and back camera, since the car doesn’t have parking sensor. Also added the Kline Inconel exhaust. Now it is a classic to keep forever.
Enjoyed the video, having owned the 991.1 GTS PDK and Now a Manual 991.1 GTS I can without a doubt that this last iteration of most powerful carrera N/A is a Gem. Feel lucky that I picked it over a forced induction 911 yrs ago. If I had, I would still be loving the forced induction 911 but would never know what I missing. good job with the video
I lucked into a 2015 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) in a 7-speed manual with a mere 98 miles on it in 2018, three years and one month after the first owner took delivery of it. And it came with $45,620 in Porsche factory options, mostly performance options, plus a fair share of XPEL PPF. So yes, it was expensive but less than list and many would think, why not a 991.2. Simple, 1) I did not want a turbo and preferred a 3.8L normally aspirated engine and 2) I did not want a PDK transmission even though I have driven a 992 Carrera S with PDK during the Porsche Track Experience courses. Nice, but it would not be my choice.
On the market for one I definitely agree that it's already a classic, I have always wanted a GT3 but I got a little girl so I want the rear seats and the car's height makes it more usable on the roads I have got here
Owner of a 991.1 GTS cab and 991.2 GT3 Touring. The 991.1 GTS is an amazing car. The Touring is just a little bit better across the board BUT the 991.1 GTS is the better all-arounder. My biggest disagreement with this overall excellent review is that the 991.1 GTS is a firm ride. It isn't. In "sport chassis," it is reasonably firm. In regular chassis, I feel like I am driving a Lexus. The Touring is a stiffer ride, for sure. If I could keep only one, it would be the Touring but the 991.1 GTS is a truly special car. It punches way about its weight, it sounds glorious and I cannot imagine a better daily driver.
I've had to come back to rewatch this after watching the 991.2 GTSreview. Those are faster for sure at 450BHP, I'm gladI went fior the more special 991.1 GTS. Its just an epic event, every drive! And for sure, they dont mae them like this anymore. Get one whilst you can. Turbos are available all the time, not so N/A.
Naturally aspirated 911 let's the engine sing. Newer models running the exhaust through a turbo mutes the raw fine details the engine puts out. Love that pop on the downshift. The 911 GTS 991.1 is truly a classic worth collecting.
I was going to Dunkin' Donuts Porsche dealership was right next-door it was one day after Easter visiting my dad I was looking for 991 because I only drove porches that were air cooled was not interested in a PDK car but I was interested in the body I was looking at the preowned lot and I did not know the lady in the dealership seen me looking at it soon as I walked in she didn't ask my name or anything or my drivers license she threw the keys on me and said take it for a test drive it was a 2013 911 S that one has rear wheel drive the pops in a sounds came from the engine I didn't think a automatic Porsche would be so great I went back in and said let me sign the papers drove it home the next day and in love with it I have a exhaust on it I think it's called fab speed and let me tell you it sounds like a sport bike coming down the block exciting fun and I will never sell it dark gray with a saddle interior this thing is classy sexy and timeless best car for the money and I think they're going to go up in value yes the 911gt3 is stronger and better and the GTS but I just bought it on a test drive and it was happy at minimum you should get a 911 S 991.1
@@DriveSteady I concur! for me I chose the 4.0 for a few reasons, I like the 718's smaller size, having the engine right behind you is a more visceral experience, the manual is a bit better, brand new car with warranty for less than a used 991.1 with no warranty. But 2 of my friends have 991.1 GTS manuals, and everytime I see and hear their cars I get confused again :) They are so beautiful and the sound is definitely superior to my car.
@@prazzy4712 First World Problems. Either is right near the pinnacle of driving nirvana. Does your GTS4.0 have the PTV option? That’s probably a very worthwhile option on the Cayman that’s standard on the Carrera GTS.
I just got a 991.1 Carrera 4S Cab with the GTS engine (Powerkit) upgrade. So not quite a GTS but darn close with the wide body and PTV+. And yes, the NA singing it’s way to the redline is just fabulous, and addictive. And it is really comfortable, especially since I drove a bone jarring AMG GT-S yesterday, which some say is a worthy competitor to a GTS. I think not.
Not a fan of this "review". Typical sales guy commercial focus. You're not a Porsche guy, that much is clear. ("Not a Cadillac"...at least you got that part right...)
Loved the video. Got a 991.1 Gts rwd manual in a rare paint to sample colour, with ducktail. Had it nearly 6 years. I'll NEVER sell it! That good!
…Just got exactly the same. Lava Orange with the ducktail. Cost more than the 991.2 GTS and just £2k shy of a 992 C2S. But I wouldn’t even look at those.
100% agree. This will be a collector car long term.
That is what the sales manager told me at the Porsche dealership after I had bought my 2015 GTS.

You've been getting some great cars to review lately. Keep it up..
love this review. love this car. truly special

Same mate! I’m looking for one too!
@@ahmedvorajee2430actually bought mine two months ago, but in the end it wasn't a GTS but a Turbo S😊😊😊

Great perspective! Appreciate your feedback

Agree!
@@DriveSteady do you think with pdk worth it still?
in terms of collectability, probably won't bring as much as the manual, but it's a fantastic either way from a car perspective
@@DriveSteady manuals are near impossible to find, plus I need something the wife can drive 🙄
Amazing video. Watched it 3 times. Thanks,
Buying this in manual rwd. Makes long term sense.
I saw one compete in an autocross event and it dominated the field. It’s a sleeper
How does the 991.1 PDK compare to the newer PDK trans? Does it feel slow shifting in comparison or dated at all? Thx
Not at all. Still very very fast. Better than some new dct from other auto makers. No concerns.

enjoyed the review, would you have this or a cayman gts 4.0?
Thats really tough, but it's hard to turn down the 4L in the Cayman. I would probably take it with a manual
@@DriveSteady I concur! for me I chose the 4.0 for a few reasons, I like the 718's smaller size, having the engine right behind you is a more visceral experience, the manual is a bit better, brand new car with warranty for less than a used 991.1 with no warranty.

@@deecoopsau true, both are amazing machines, yes PTV is standard on the GTS 4.0.

Congrats!
997 GTS also widebody.
Can you replace the steering wheel?
You could, but you wouldn’t, it’s peeeerfect.
Who put a front plate on that car!!!
Hang on a minute. Didn't the 997 GTS have a wide body?
Yes it did.
