^The GTS without the ugly hood vents looks much better to me than the GT3.

Call it what you want, but I really wish Porsche would offer the GT3 engine (even detuned) in a GTS like more livable package. Rear seats, sound insulation, softer suspension etc. Best chance might be a Carrera T with the GT4 engine.

I doubt that Porsche will offer the GT3 engine in the GTS. The 991 GTS was badge engineering. A Carrera S with a 30hp power bump with a couple of options thrown in.

The 992 GTS is a genuine variant with strong mechanical differentiation from the Carrera S. Those who want a family friendly super car can look towards the GTS which has Turbo derived suspension while the GT3 is unapologetically a race car for the road with its RSR derived suspension.

However the GT3 has another 7-10 years ahead of itself. I wouldn't rule out suspension tweaks at LCI, additional variants or limited editions that target more niches.

There is a test on Car & Driver, apparently with performance results... but it cannot be displayed from France ? Can somebody upload it here ?

I presume it should be the same kind of datapanel as the M5CS (which I can't see as well !) ?

The 992 GTS has precious little mechanical differentiation over Carrera S; no different to 991.1 or 991.2 GTS models.

The articles I have read and videos i have seen conclude this is more differentiated vehicle from past versions. Tuned and fitted to be closer to the Turbo and GT3. Border line too stiff for a DD. In fact, the HP is really close to the GT3 and the Torque is considerably higher since it isn't an NA engine. The value is also that you get a nice package of options at a "bargain" price (at least for Porsche)

Good Heavens-how I absolutely despise monochrome black rims on anything other than commercial vehicles and rat rods.

 

[Laurent T]

Could you let know the source of those ? I guess a UK mag website.

Black rims on a 911 GTS is de rigueur. Actually, this one's quite a tidy spec (yellow PCCB calipers matching the yellow body) work save for that horrible black rear arch guard again.

Pistonheads. Comparison test against Jaguar F Type R.

I'm imagining a GTS Signature 5-spoke rim based on the 992 Heritage version-but with matte black spokes with the contrasting thin silver rim lip. A bit 1970s' Fuchs-style.

This...with matte-black spokes:

I realize that black cars are a pain in the butt to keep clean, however that one pictured above is just gorgeous!

I got a PTS allocation for September GTS rwd manual coupe.

i cant make a decision. Rumors saying that the .2 GTS will be NA , if it is I’ll regret it.

also I’m cross shopping with a GTC4 Lusso..

it’s been 1,5 summers since I sold the panamera and I can’t take it anymore I need a proper car.
