Hope you like this one guys, it's always painful handing the keys back to a 911 👌
Joe, are you neighbours with Harry Metcalfe as you use the same roads, especially that great ‘S’ bend that swoops down to the right then sweeps left and climbs Barack up and out of the compression??
Great video, lovely car with a nice spec.
How does it compare to your M3C? Would you upgrade to the GTS? Can’t decide between this or M3C RWD (I’m in TX) with ceramic brakes.
great video as always Joe.
I'd love this to be my daily, but a huge concern is the tyre/road noise coming into the cabin. How bad would you say the GTS is compared to a 4S?
@@richardgilding8567 I noticed that!
Nice one. I've got the Targa 4 GTS, the launch is both brilliant and brutal 👌
No matter which car is being reviewed, Joe Achilles is just a really pleasant guy to listen to
I like your choice of a GTS manual. I think the best bang for the buck is a Carrera T with a tune on it. I think APR does one for $1500 USD that brings your 380hp to 500!
That is an insane bang for your money. It is offered in manual, has the rear seat delete option, the lightweight package, PTV with LSD, Sports Chrono, Sports PSAM and the sport exhaust. Hard to beat. Great vid. Keep em coming.
Cheers
Well Joe. Thanks to you I bought a BMW135i. Then I bought an M4 Competition pack. Surely I don't need a Porsche 😫.
And congrats man, keep at it.
GTS really offers the best blend of performance and daily use, stunning car and brilliant video as always Joe👍
The more 911 reviews I watch the more I want a decently optioned S or 4S with a stick. For the road, that seems like more than enough.
I'd say a lot lot less would be sufficient for the road :D
It's not enough - my 992 4S felt slow after one year
@The Merovingian or in my case an Alpine does the bis
I took delivery of my 992S in manual two months ago. Absolute love it.
@@rcrr add a tune, there you go
Seeing your speedo reach those speeds that fast was incredible. What a car! Great vid Joe as always.
Damn, 0-60 under 3 seconds with less than 500hp
Always good seeing you reviewing Porsches. Keep it up Joe ! Until next time..
Again a very good review Joe! You nail it every time.
One of the best reviews I've watched in a long time. Awesome job!
Thank you 👌👊
Joe good review as expected
Hope your enjoying your new M3X
Another great review. Thank you Joe.
Wonderful review 😍😍😍😍😍😍. So informative! Thank you Joe
It is quite interesting, just quickly specced out two identical cars, one 4S and other 4GTS, and with the options I chose, the 4GTS was only 2000€ more expensive while having bigger brakes and other GTS features. So imo anyone in the market for a 992 should get a GTS! (Edit: Estonian pricing, AWD because snow :) )
….If you can get a build slot
Less BMW more Porsche - It’s obviously your loving it !!! Fab video.
God I'd love one of these beauties, nice reviewJoe.
Saying that he would like the base Carrera because he thinks it's all you really need for road use is a very honest assessment, and very unlike most motoring journo's. Well done. It's actually convinced me to just get the base model, when I can ever get one, that is. 18 month wait times in Australia.
All-Wheel Drive baby! 👍🏻
Helper springs keep the main spring from losing contact with the spring seat. What you're referring to is Tender springs used in a dual rate setup. They are the ones that help out with road imperfections. Commonly confused.
Such a beautiful colour.
Very enjoyable/ fun video - thank you Joe! If you do review another 911 try and get one with the lightweight and noise insulated glass to help with our dreadful uk roads….
Nice one Joe, be good to know what G force you can pull in your reviews both accelerating and braking.
Love the base model 911
great review Joe. great car, now finally a GTS with some real grunt. agree - i think 2 wheel & manual is way to go, especially if it knocks 100kg off the weight.
great review. I love you're honest style. What do you think of the width? especially compared to the narrow 991.2 T -would you consider trading up? (for road use, not track)
Fantastic Vid Joe as always, when are we getting the RWD vid :) ? Also the PDK is such an amazing system , that in RWD might work just fine too for comfort of daily use no ? Thoughts ?
Amazing video as usual
Great review!
Joe that’s a fantastic car 👌👏
What a beast
Nice to see you in a proper car!!
Great show!!! Here!!! here!!!
Great review, noticed that car has the optional seat belts (crayon colour ones!!) same as my Pana! one question, have a go pro 10 hero, and for the trip to NC500, where do you think is the best place to mount it, inside or outside?!! keep the reviews coming love the honesty!
I am not the biggest fan of yellow coloured cars but this looks so good!
Great video. Absolutely love my 992 C4S but really tempted by a GTS next. The centre lock wheels are a bit of a turn off as I’ve got a set of winter wheels for the C4S that I swap at home….
Great recommendation😊
I love the black shark fin to protect in front of the rear wheel!
Dream car!! 💛
Really like Joe. Love his low key style. Great car; great review! The GTS, with a manual is pure t!ts! Cheers/B
The yellow looks awesome. 2.9 seconds is crazy! 🤯
That can't be right, surely it's not so wildly different to the official Porsche figures.
Nice double rainbow!
That’s one fast banana!
Want an M4 until I see a Porsche 992
They are light years better
They are aimed at different buyers though.
M4 is a mega-fast 4 seater family coupe, so it's much better than the 911 if you need rear seats and luggage space.
I love 911's though, always have, and there is no comparison as a full-on sports car.
@@DjNikGnashers Porsche 911 is a relatively big gt-sports car now.
@@ergonaut940 It's not in the same class as an M4, the M4 has useable rear seats and a boot, and it basically a 4 series with 2 doors. The 991 has always been a proper sports car, completely different vehicles.
@@DjNikGnashers
Agree that it’s a different car but both appeal to the same buyers 😀
I’m considering both cars
Great car, but I can’t get over this costing double the price of a 718 GTS 4.0 🤓
I think that car is the sportscar sweet spot in the Porsche range 😀
True
911 is much more useable as a daily driver due to the back seats which can hold cargo and fit your kids in the back
@@jays9211
No small people here, so we found the exact opposite.
The rear seats were useless to us for luggage as everyone could see it!
The Cayman with two large storage areas, is a hugely practical vehicle for two.
Daily use, weekly shopping, or touring all favoured the Cayman.
The 991.2S we had was a mega thing, but was more serious and straight faced. Less fun to drive at sane(ish) speeds.
Can you get a set of golf clubs in the Cayman?
@@richardburhouse8725 can u get a set in the back seat of the 911? I don’t gold but I’d say yes.
The tyre roar can be significantly reduced by swapping from P Zero tyres to PS4S.
Same happened when I did the same on my E400 merc
Joe, great video as always… Where do you go for roads like this? I’m pressure you live fairly near London.
>1600kg and ‘only’ 480bhp results in a 2.9s ‘0 to 60’ time?
That’s the miracle of automotive electronics… and a bit of 4wd ;-)
The power of rear engine.. get the grip down. 100% of it.
And Porsche consistently underrating their engine output.
Hi Jo , Great review , met you at Bedford the other day (got the yellow Caterham) , have a gts 4.0 boxter on order , what did you think gearbox wise , manual or Pdk !?
Great Vid Joe, they just keep getting better and better.
The major problem with any new 911 is that you simply can not get into them. I have been waiting over a year already for a new C4S and there is still no sign of it. God knows how long you’d wait for something like this🤷♂️🙁
yeah im hearing 2 year waitlists for this thing!
Yep. I ordered one at the beginning of august last year. Not heard a thing. Hopeless.
Same here, been waiting 6 months for a C2 base allocation
@@leemarshall3649 I was very lucky to have a good relationship with my guys, ordered a GTS Cab 4 weeks ago and is coming in 1-2 weeks!
Yes please.
I’m studying english with your conni see, congratulation!
Porsche marketing strategy is spot on ; keep everyone wanting and waiting keeps the brand exclusive and the resale up .. Just a pain if you actually want one ...
You could never go wrong with a yellow Porshche 😃
Helper springs just prevent the main springs from falling out of place at full droop allowing longer wheel travel for big suspension movement. They certainly don't affect the spring rate for dealing with small bumps as suggested. They are obviously completely squashed flat most of the time, otherwise they'd need to be stiffer than the main springs!!
I love Porsche ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video! I would have loved to see the draggy results if you had pressed the sports response button on the steering wheel that allows .15Bar boost extra for 20 seconds.
I believe he said he had it in sports plus. That is what the button does, it will give you sports plus if you aren't already in sports plus.
Great review Joe. Had a 991.2 GTS but knew I wouldn’t be tracking it so I deleted sports suspension. Made it a bit more compliant for my roads and didn’t detract from the enjoyment.
That is exactly what I am thinking if I spec out a 992 GTS
Love the video, how does the handling compare to a bmw E92 M3 and bmw F80 M4????????
Hopefully there would be a 911T with the base engine and the sportier bits
All the car you’ll ever need ,marvellous. However the black stone guards look shocking .
A 992 turbo s is my fav just a wicked car
Porsche just can’t do anything wrong. Stunning
except the sound nowadays
@@ergonaut940 Ever heared a GT3 ? LOL
@@Nordheide the only good sounding porsche now
@@ergonaut940 Watch the POV review of AutoTopNL and you’ll see the GTS sounds great. And don’t forget that all car manufacturers suffer from EU regulations. Not their fault
What would the 0-60 time be if you just mashed the throttle without launch control 🤔
A front wheel drive 911? that’ll be the day!
Hello Joe, when configuring a 2024 GTS, one option is to click the "Porsche Active Suspension Management (Raised 10mm)" - essentially this reverts the suspension to the Carrera S suspension. What are your thoughts on easing back on the GTS suspension?
Excellent car, but honestly I miss that old lumping Porsche exhaust sound (due to turbo charged motors and all those emission limitations). Then it sounds rather like angry vacuum cleaner.
How I love my old 997.1 C2S, still sounds like a symphony to my ears 😊
those are great cars. well done mate
Bravo 👏👏👏❤️💪
Great in yellow. Need a Targa 4 GTS.
🐐🔥🔥🔥
I would love to get a 992 911. Just a base would be great, but I cannot bring myself to spend 103k -my S2000.
I am so cheap I am even talking myself out of the M3 base. 🤣
But a base 992 is definitely the way to go.
Plenty of speed and power for road use.
Using Harry’s dip, the piece of Road Harry’s Garage uses 🙂
Run the tyres at the comfort pressures and its like a limo. I run my 991.2 GTS at these pressures all the time and its fine. It seems the downside of all aluminium body shells is NVH my steel GTS has tyre noise for sure but liveable.
Hey Joe!
This or the M3 comp?
Cheers mate
Does it feel faster then your current m3 xdrive?
hello Joe, how are you? please only one question, for daily car (20000kms/year all type spanish roads, two or one people in the car) in your opinion, M4 coupe competititon x-drive or 911 GTS 2 RWD manual, thank you !!!
You have to be honest when choosing a Carrera variant with the brilliant 992 platform. Standard is already rocket fast at 3.5 for 0-60. This GTS is no GT3/Turbo S lite, its little more unique mechanically now than a parts bin model. Bit more racy bits but people got to stop with the sweet spot cliché. You can option a base Carrera to be a sweet spot. another banger Joe !
Can u develop about your idea with the sweet spot ?
@@Criminelsoyeux Carrera RWD, is all the 911 perfection you need. Don’t need to tick the fully adjustable seats , RAS, PDCC .
Spend it on materials, wheels, colours . The car is perfect already n has character without all the high tech gizmo to make it very flat handling.
2.87 in damp conditions? Imagine on a hot summer morning.
It will have a drop in power turbocharged cars dont like heat
he means the road. more grip@@jd-lr7zu
Gentle critique: The secondary camera view showing you talking into main camera when stationary is overused and distracting for this type of video. When driving it is perfect. Otherwise excellent work. Love the channel.
Doubt I will get a response but since you have driven both…if you were using one as a daily and it was your only car…thoughts on this or an M8 competition?
👋👋Very Very good.
Beautiful car, amazing machine but the noise would eventually drive ne nuts
"It's actually starting to rain outside." As opposed to..........inside?
In enjoyed the review. Great car and your low key approach is great. One question. Why do you look and talk at one camera but use the roll from another camera? It distracts me. Thanks
The intro faces say to me this is going to be a "phwoarrr" video.
What’s the black panel on the side? Doesn’t look like an option on the config
15:00 min - isn't this Mr. Metcalfe's stomping grounds?
(Love the car by the way.)💛
Loverly!
But I’d take a R8 plus 😀
GRANDE PORSCHE 👍 🇮🇹 👍
It would be pretty cool if Porsche brought back the T version for 911 👍
I am surprised you can see the road through that cluttered windscreen! Stay safe.
Question is when are you getting one Joe haha
I’m curious, GTS or M3 Comp Xdrive given the price difference?
Hi Joe.
I think you can option back the sound deadening.
“It makes me do silly things”😅
There going to have to resurface that bit of road soon, every youtuber nailing the dips and bends ! Ha
😂😂 Funny you say that, I went to an Alpine A110 refresh launch today and that road was their planned route, that launch runs all week with 12 journos/UA-camrs every day... Definitely needs new tarmac now 👌
I’ve just ordered a Gts lightweight rwd 😍
The winning recipe 👌
The difficult choice was pdk or manual , eventually went for manual for the more envolved drive , to hell with resale values
that 0-60 tho O_O
Great review as always Joe. One thing though, Porsche sprint times are to 62 mph (100kph) not 60mph so that why you always beat the publisher figures!
So ur saying 2mp makes at least a 0.4/0.5 seconding difference?🤣
