I like your analyze that the GTS is not a watered down version of the GT3 or even the Turbo but it is just the basic 911 dialed up all the way !!! It is indeed the sweet spot of ALL of the 911 !!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve owned a 997 C4 GTS and loved it. I drove the rear wheel 991 GTS at Barber that had carbon ceramics and it was truly fantastic on track. I can well imagine the 992 GTS in any of its iterations to be an amazing choice for anyone looking for essential 911 driving today🏁
I have the 992 GTS in silver and I think it’s stunning. Having owned a 991.2 c4s previously, the GTS is a step forward in my opinion and I’m glad I’ve gone with 2WD. Really good review, the most detailed I’ve seen. Great work!
This is the same color my older brother and I would use when we raced on Need for speed Hot Pursuit 2 on the playstation 2. I was a Porsche 911 turbo S and my brother was a dodge viper SRT. Good times.
I often treat your videos like podcasts, I listen to them while I go on with my daily work but wow that "maza aa gaya" really caught me off guard lmao. Anyways, great content as always!
I would go WITH the BLACK PROTECTION. Just adds a bit of character to the car. Also think about 20-30 years from now when you're reviewing the vehicle and it has those black arches. It's just a design element that dates the car (not in a bad way.) It's always important when specing a car imo, to think about the future. Not necessarily about selling it, more about its looks and what makes the car timeless. Anyway, that's just me and a look into my brain regarding what to chose when making a car your own. 👍
I think if you are considering doing a PPF around the back end of the car it is worth saving you money and not going with the rear arch protector. It would just need to be removed. If it isn't the case then I think it ads some depth to the overall aggression of the car and complements that black roof/carbon (Can't make out which it is from the video).
In Porsche world it’s all about how much you spec them up and why the GTS and Carrera S can be optioned up the same interior and exterior performance options. My money says a well speced Carrera 2 S is the best performance/livable modern 911. The front end is more responsive than the awd models. I have owned both and the the C2S is more alive feeling than the C4S that has a heavier front end feel. The new 3.0L TT engine has so much low end torque yet the wide body has all the advantages and looks. You can spec a Carrera S to GTS spec and why both are “Carrera” models.
In my opinion there’s an argument that the 992 4 GTS is the best value. I believe there are plug and play chips that can likely bump the boost and offer a remap. I know there are definitely some that void the warranty as well. Then there’s also the thought that dealers really can’t void the warranty due to bolt on parts/chips. Hypothetically a 50-60 hp and 60 lb ft tq increase is all that’s needed to make it perfect.
The GT silver looks ace Raz, it's a colour you can go wrong with. But please, please get the black brake calipers. The red ones are hideous. I also made a last minute change from red interior stitching to the crayon and am so glad that I did, it looks infinitely classier in the flesh.
Base Carrera is all you need, which is probably why they don’t offer it with a manual. They are probably waiting to introduce a Carrera T with available manual, and will charge near-Carrera S money for it. Sorry but paying $150k USD for a Carrera GTS is just stupid.
I went with the Aventurine Green Metallic on my 992 Carrera 4 GTS w black interior. Crazy gorgeous color, changes from green to grey and back again in different light. GTS w/ 4 wheel drive is amazing. Gotta get the 4 wheel steering. Cheers.
I'd like the 4GTS Coupe Ceramics with Aero package. It would look as close to the Turbo S without actually being the Turbo S lol Black exterior & black leather interior with red stitching.
I am in Australia. I would definitely buy if the price of the 911 is similar to that in UK. The 911 4 GTS is more than GBP 200K in Australia. I wonder how many UK buyers would spend that much for the 911.
Loved the review can’t wait to get my GTS. I was thinking of the 4 wheel drive but was convinced to get the rear wheel drive which you’ve also confirmed is better.
I just had it for 2 days as a cabriolet and then ordered one immediately. Sound is amazing, much better than expected, even better than my Boxter GTS 4.0. And it is so fast...
Porsche has been OBSSESSED with Macan, Cheyenne, Panorema the last few years. It's SO refreshing to see them give life back to the models that MADE them who they are.
Almost identical spec to mine which I collected Dec '21 so agree although I got the Porsche Decal down the side and removed the GTS badging from the side, the high gloss black finishes the whole package with matching wing mirrors! Enjoy
Refreshing to see a review that doesn’t try to make the GTS out to be a GT3-lite. I can understand second guessing a TT/S for a GTS since both are turbo charged; but no way anyone would compare a GTS to a NA 4.0 motorsport derived flat-six from Weissach. The GTS has a CARRERA turbo charged engine. I had a 992 Carrera S with sport design pack & it’s basically the same car. No amount of Porsche magic with piping more engine & exhaust noise into the cabin is going to make it compare to a GT car. I’m sorry. It’s exactly as stated; a base 911 turned-up to 11.
I love the 911 and getting the GTS is a great choice. However, every car on the road is black, white, silver or grey. I would recommend choosing a different color.
You can change the GTS’s PASM to regular PASM, if you want a daily drive. Costs nothing and will let the car “less harder”. If you have no intention of using the car in a track, this change makers sense.
Not sure why other manufacturers don't adopt the GTS philosophy with offering a more driver involved variant of their sport cars, instead of having one model trying to be so many cars in one.
I love your GT Silver choice. I have a GTS Targa in GT Silver on a boat to me as we speak. Fully loaded...including the carbon brakes (yellow). ETA is 4/8....can't wait.
Excellent comment. I love how the C4-GTS retains the F1 style center-lock hubs and GT3 styling, but has more comfortable seating, softer suspension, plus all-season drivability.
HELP.... I'm in for my first Porsche ever and it has to be a 992. The problem is until now and with family etc, i've had sporty SUV's. But now that the nest it empty i want what i call my dream car. Caveat - i like my toys in cars and i like a bit of comfort too. occasional (very) track day or Nurburg will be on the cards too. Do i go for the gts or the 4s?
Graphs bro need to be larger. Can't see or read anything on them. Even if it is unimportant info, folks want to see. Just a short piece of advice that's all. You do some of the best editing in the bizz so I'm sure you're highly capable when it comes to resizing bits on your vlog. Otherwise, great work and a wonderful review as always. Love that you do your homework. It's just nice to hear all that stats and how the cars have evolved over the years!
Great video as always Raz - as an Indian Brit living in the USA I really relate to how you present things and love the little history lessons. I will be replacing my 992 C2S (Guards Red) with a GTS 7MT (Lava Orange + Gloss Black Aerokit as red is too subtle). My order will take 9-12 months but I really want the 7MT which wasn't available in the first year of the 992 - have you considered the manual vs PDK?
Thanks Raz for yet another great Porsche review. I'm one of those lucky few that managed to get an allocation on a 992 GTS last year so while I'm waiting the only thing I can do is to watch GTS reviews on TH-cam. My spec is also in GT silver metallic with side skirts and side mirrors in body color. At first I went with aventurine green metallic but got second thoughts. I'm keeping the black Turbo rims and the GTS side logo decal. No sunroof or carbon fibre roof. Interior-wise full race-tex delete, so the black leather interior package (including the on the dashboard silver trim which is absolute porn), GT steering wheel, BOSE, Sports seats, PDK, that's it. The planned delivery is in end of July, but this might well be delayed if there are any supply chain disruption due to the Ukraine war.
I have build slot for Q4. I didnt go for sunroof either as the inevitable rattle would spoil it. The wiring loom is made in the Ukraine apparently. They are currently looking to get them made somewhere else but they need to go through the testing process for it and that could take some time (spoke to my dealer 2 days ago).
Always enjoy the history lessons, currently own a GTS 997.2 with 40k miles that I intend to keep.I am looking for a new daily to replace my 2018 M4 that almost killed me in the rain on Friday UK in March ...I owned 991.2T in Summer and sold it for more than I paid for it...with manual box it was fun...still to convinced by 992 drove the 992S back to back with my 991, interior was great but ...I don’t know
I’m getting another 992 S, sold my 2019 as I got 9 points and had a small crash, ordering a new one next month, white again The GTS is nice but too much of a stretch sadly
Couldn't agree more 👏 👌 just got back from two days with the Carrera 4s we rented in Stuttgart and what a machine that already is ❤ I loved the handling on narrow and twisty mountain roads and also the sound was better than expected 👂👍
I love these vids. Raz I listen to your thoughts and take them into account. I’m working towards my three car garage with this being the final piece of my automotive jigsaw. Maybe not in yellow though. 🤣🤣
Do you think the 4 takes anything away from the sports car experience? Is it all time AWD or is it rear biased and then just kicks in the front wheels when needed? I'm helping my dad find a good second hand Carrera S or GTS and trying to decide if we should only look at RWD or if AWD is ok too.
I am in the same bucket as you. I ordered my GTS a few months ago and anticipating a May delivery. HOWEVER, I had to sell my 992 GT3 for it. WHY? because it was not something you could live with on the daily and no back seats for my kids. also SUPER stiff on regular roads. Hoping GTS is a better balance.

Personally I think a more vibrant colour would suit the 911 much more, especially GTS. Albeit GT silver is a nice silver.. tough choice
@@mrv6159 aveturine green metallic is gorgeous
I like your analyze that the GTS is not a watered down version of the GT3 or even the Turbo but it is just the basic 911 dialed up all the way !!! It is indeed the sweet spot of ALL of the 911 !!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's not dialed up, it is the default one. Porsche designed GTS first and then tuned it down for S and regular variant.
@@timetraveler_0 ..Thank you for your insights !!!
That is far from a basic 911 dialed up. Suspension is different than all the other 911‘s.
@@lucasjames572 they way they explain it is that it is actually a turbo 911 with an s engine.
@@timetraveler_0 haha, where did you get that from?
This is amazing man, really appreciate the animations.
Thanks man! 🙏
My Spec: Go with the Black protection on the rear arch or no? Vote! 👍
Yes 💯
I would get the black protection but aftermarket its way cheaper and i would get the GTS so RWD
Yes plus aeropaket🤪
When it gets chipped, would it not look worse being black though? I assume it’s replaceable, but still.
Not a fan of black wheels.
I love how much effort you put in these videos. They're incredible to watch and I can spend a lot of my time getting lost in the immersion.
I’ve owned a 997 C4 GTS and loved it. I drove the rear wheel 991 GTS at Barber that had carbon ceramics and it was truly fantastic on track. I can well imagine the 992 GTS in any of its iterations to be an amazing choice for anyone looking for essential 911 driving today🏁
I have the 992 GTS in silver and I think it’s stunning. Having owned a 991.2 c4s previously, the GTS is a step forward in my opinion and I’m glad I’ve gone with 2WD. Really good review, the most detailed I’ve seen. Great work!
Without the black PPF. Cleaner lines imo.
This is the same color my older brother and I would use when we raced on Need for speed Hot Pursuit 2 on the playstation 2. I was a Porsche 911 turbo S and my brother was a dodge viper SRT. Good times.
I like the silver spec you did for your GTS (though personally I prefer Dolomite Silver) and for everyday usability I would go with the steel brakes.
dolomite is cool, bluish silver from I Robot :)
Why not the tungsten brakes?
I spent 3days in a 2022 GT3 in a rally and loved it, this looks like a overall winner as a daily driver
I like the fact, that you can spec the GTS more towards a Turbo or a GT3 Touring. Might as well be the sweet spot in the lineup 🙏🏼
exactly
I often treat your videos like podcasts, I listen to them while I go on with my daily work but wow that "maza aa gaya" really caught me off guard lmao. Anyways, great content as always!
Never forget: It is a tuned Basis-Carrera with only a 3.0 l motor - hence buy a Turbo or a Basis 4.
I would go WITH the BLACK PROTECTION. Just adds a bit of character to the car. Also think about 20-30 years from now when you're reviewing the vehicle and it has those black arches.

I chose a 2019 991.2 4 gts in GT Silver. Perfect Hen fit for me!!!
Live the specs on all of your cars, including your gts!
This review is the most non biased on the planet. This could be considered blasphemy to the Porsche line up lol
Base Carrera is all you need, which is probably why they don’t offer it with a manual. They are probably waiting to introduce a Carrera T with available manual, and will charge near-Carrera S money for it. Sorry but paying $150k USD for a Carrera GTS is just stupid.
In the view from above, there's no sign of a sun roof. To me it just looks better that way. I don't need a sun roof. 17:38
I went with the Aventurine Green Metallic on my 992 Carrera 4 GTS w black interior. Crazy gorgeous color, changes from green to grey and back again in different light. GTS w/ 4 wheel drive is amazing. Gotta get the 4 wheel steering. Cheers.
The engine sound is improved for sure.
GT 4 RS why don’t ya? It’ll be available for media pretty soon right?
I'd like the 4GTS Coupe Ceramics with Aero package. It would look as close to the Turbo S without actually being the Turbo S lol
Black exterior & black leather interior with red stitching.
👌 😄

Loved the review can’t wait to get my GTS. I was thinking of the 4 wheel drive but was convinced to get the rear wheel drive which you’ve also confirmed is better.
You picked the right color but, go for the red interior w/18 way seats. PERFECT!
I just had it for 2 days as a cabriolet and then ordered one immediately. Sound is amazing, much better than expected, even better than my Boxter GTS 4.0. And it is so fast...
would you go for the aero kit?

Love your GTS spec, exactly how I would go! Can't wait to see it.
I'd go red and black but ye

without black protection ;) I like clean look
Definitely the 911 sweet spot in my opinion 😍😍😍
Mine too
My favourite 911 - would do anything to be a passenger or drive one!! Looks great in silver or red with black roof 👍
Can you get the lightweight package in the gts 4??😮
Disagree with the very first sentence, IMO the 718 benefits the most in the GTS trim level with an NA flat 6!
I love your GT Silver choice. I have a GTS Targa in GT Silver on a boat to me as we speak. Fully loaded...including the carbon brakes (yellow). ETA is 4/8....can't wait.
Dream car. All you need from a 911.
Hi mate, why did you sell the Turbo S?
Are sure that is it worth it over the Carerra and Carerra S?
Great! Happy to see another Remove Before Race Video! ... and the content is on the point again. THX!
Great to see you back Raz
This 911 we call the egg giving wool & milk car. If you take this one you get the best of all 911 specifications.

as always, a fantastic job. the best as usual.
