- This is the revised Porsche 911 GTS, the facelifted variant of the latest 911. The 992.2 if you're being exact.
The biggest news is that the GTS variant is Porsche’s first hybrid 911, badged T-Hybrid, and has received some serious performance enhancements over the earlier GTS.
Its engine is now a 3.6-litre unit, rather than a 3.0, but that’s only half the story. There is now an electric drive motor in the gearbox to take the total output to 534bhp and 450lb ft, while the turbocharger has an electric motor on it, too, to help it spool faster and reduce lag.
It can do 0-62mph in 3.0sec and has a top speed of 194mph. Its economy is 26.4mpg and CO2 output 244g/km.
Join Matt Prior as he tests the latest 911 on the circuit and on the road.
A spectacularly nuanced, detailed, and grown-up review. Thank you!
Nice review Matt, now one of my top go-to reviewers. Enjoying the podcast too.
Fabulous review by Matt Prior as usual. Most comprehensive yet concise review of the 992.2 that I have seen.
981 S/gts, get a fully loaded one. Its light, nimble, mid engined,sound amazing and has more than enough power for the streets and track. In fact, a slower car has become more fun 4-5 sec. This 911 may as well be a Taycan now.
Looks fantastic - I assume the noise in the cabin is fake but still sounds good - I would be a bit worried about running this type of car once the manufacturer warranty ends
Extremely impressive and insanely fast - 0-100 kph in 3 seconds is just ludicrous
Fairly standard these days
This is a very sexy example of a Porsche!
Around $164K USD MSRP right out the gate, then add options along with Porsche dealership add ons, then we’re looking at well over $200K…911’s are not getting any cheaper, other than black or white, other colors are an option to include guards red!
If only we had some roads suitable for such a heavy, fast, expensive complex machine !
Why coulden't bmw have done this with the m5???!!!!
different proprietary technologies and corporate strategies around fleet emissions.
Now weighs more than my EV.
The gts is 180-200k out the door seems very expensive for a two seat sports car would be my second or third car
Porsches getting faster but also fatter, more complex... Me not liking the progression. I understand they have to do it based on regulations but it's sad what so many sports cars are becoming
A few more years remaining until the regs kick in, what are porsche doing?
They should be banging as many ICE vehicles out as possible
911 GTS use to be a gazelle and now it’s a cyber-rhino !
New 992.2 gts or 992.1 turbo S?
It’s insane how expenny the 911’s are now. Can pick up a Portofino for the same money or less!
love Porsches; have a 991.1s, but yes i agree. I mean, paying the same for Porsche as a Ferrari is little too much of an ask. Simply,great cars but not pizzazz of Ferrari.Sorry,not sorry.
@@MrNufzed it’s crazy, I’ve been looking to swap my car and a 991 Carrera T is still well over £70k it’s a 2018. There are McLaren 570GT’s going for the same money and that looks super car money. Madness how well Porkers hold their money for what they are really. I was looking at a 997.2 GTS about 5 years ago. It started life at £50k and in a few weeks was over £60k the same car. It was ancient at the time 🤣 there’s far more GT products for sale than normal Carreras too yet they hold their money like nothing else. Fair play to Porsches marketing department on that one like.
I think I’ll be more interested in a naturally aspirated flat 6 with that supplemental hybrid motor. Peak power at 6500 with redline at 7500 makes me think it won’t be as inspiring to rev out as some Porsches from the past. Will the GT3 be similarly hybridized in its next iteration?
992.2 is still pure ICE
@@7ludi that's what the rumors seem to suggest, though with this hybrid's power bump they may be feeling the pressure to ensure the GT3 stays ahead.
@@ALMX5DP 992.1 ist still faster on the Nordschleife than the .2 GTS. Don't believe too much in rumors they are often just that
@@7ludi Porsche said they are comparable due to track regulation and layout changes, and that is especially good considering the tires on the new GTS are not the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's that the GT3 wore. Just saying Porsche will really have to step up their GT3 game given the quite large leap the GTS took here.
Like a 918 - pure NA with better low down thanks to the electric-
I can 't imagine what a mechanic would charge if it breaks down.
Nothing. Warranty covers that.
Question- this or the new Merc gt with back seats and a decent boot?
It seems like a Carrera GTS manual non-hybrid with an exhaust and tune would be perfect
now not 2007. buying manual in modern Porsche it is like swap 2.0 inline engine in gt3 + drum brakes. it is 3x more fun with pdk than manual. do not ruin the masterpiece
@@illikUA😂 that is a terrible analogy, and fun is subjective, some would definitely prefer a manual.
@@illikUA ive driven both pdk and the 7 speed manual and politely disagree
@@RandyRodgirth just answer the question: 1- is the manual good for track? - obviously no. it is not racing stuff - no one modern racing car use this, as it is creates no advantage. 2 - Is it good for city - hell no. 3 - any grandma can drive modern porsche stick as it is almost foolproof it is currently similar to sim racing GB. if it is 997 or 996, GT4 or f430 or s2000 etc of course manual. but not 992
@@illikUA I’m not answering any of your pointless questions, you’ll just have to accept that some people enjoy a manual. And you know the 911 S/T yes? The one that is - in Porsche’s own words - “A 911 in its purest form” is a manual. Porsche seems to know something you don’t.
Nice Watch 👌🏻
Engine noise sounds almost fake. Maybe its the new 3.6. Does the battery power a sound machine? Lol
You find it hard to accept that the new car sounds louder when everyone expected it to sound quieter. Wake up and smell the coffee Mr Luruso is not an EV!
That's a really daft argument about the hybrid system. You could say the same about overboost. Or turbos in general. Or 4 wheel-drive. Or indeed the back seats. They're all unnecessary when you're not using them. Which is most of the time.
...but the weight
@@JayDee-b5u a small price to pay for massively better performance and throttle response. While using less fuel. And as Matt said in the video, some of his colleagues don't agree that the extra weight is even noticable.
Very clever
11:24 is that color vanadium grey?
I think it’s the darker Slate Grey Neo? Vanadium has a metallic finish 👍
No doubt this car has saved the planet, it's so green.
Humanity was on the edge but the new 911 saved us all
Yep, the
@@k1ng617 no friend it's. now 'climate change'. this way no matter what happens with the climate (as its always changing) the problem always exists. :)
I wonder how expensive Maintance will be.
How often has the battery to be changed. At what costs.
The battery does not need charging
If you can afford one, you won't care.
I do care. Do you know the Costs for Maintanance for a 918 Spyder. Huge 🤪
It sounds more 4 cylinder than flat 6...not to say it doesn't sound good, but you seem to have to really rev it to get the 6 cylinder.
Porsche is as reliable as time itself, but does anyone have concerns about an electric motor being bolted right up against a red hot exhaust housing?
The base Carrera is enough for everyday driving in the real world.. City streets... In the hands of the typical driver (no competition racing background)
.. The GTS only reduces or "eliminates' ( some reviewers say it's gone and others say it's Sunday 4.... Then dinner 4 say with the base the Turbo lag is gone when I'm Sport Mode but it's noticeably in Normal Mode Heh..... Is this difference with 6 the extras $30k?? It the 1.2s quicker to 60mph time you won't notice in the referral world??
Imagine how much that turbo will cost to replace. I bet it loves oil changes once every two years of 20,000 miles.
Budget friendly 918
Beautiful racetrack. Does anyone know where this is?
Awesome car, but it's all getting a bit overkill.
Just over complicating what was already a very good package, just image if it goes wrong it will cost a fortune
Warranty covers that.
Isn't this 1h early?
I never understood why Porsche even bothered w/ rear seats to begin with. Nobody was really sitting ppl back there anyways.
What about 2 kids in the back for a family man ?
@@hpman911perfectly said!!!
If I had a Porsche, I’d want to delete the rear seats anyway
But you may regret that decision when you come to sell it.
@@hpman911why exactly? Rear seats are so much more wanted in 911s?
@@Mojbojwoj because if you have young kids they can go in the back and enjoy days out with you, your other half and the car. Alternatively if a mate wants a lift somewhere locally they can fit in the back. In fact I managed to take my two teenage sons to Le Mans and all three of us had a brilliant long weekend. None of this is possible without rear seats so the demand for cars with them will always be higher.
You can always get a Cayman
Weight is a killer
Always better reviews when he his by himself... back to the sweet spot: Status, Shallow cockiness, Pub bragging rights lovers...and of course the City Loafers: the base Carrera will never do for this people... Taking into account what the GTS used to stand for the impossibility of a manual makes this as much appealing as all handicapped Ferraris out there...just saying. Porsche: I won't go any further back than 1997: 27 years of consecutive weight gaining...it is more like Porksters nowadays...
It's like a 12 minute ad.
🇺🇲: What car Is this?
🇬🇧: This Is Püh Shahhh
its made out alumulemu
Seems overly complicated as always and a nightmare to work on if so thing gos wrong
Everyone seems to praise how fast it is, if you are looking only at speed as a measure of performance, then no one can beat Lucid and Tesla S plaid. The question is that does it keep its 911 soul.
This car is simply too heavy. Porsche (and others) need to revise engine sizes down and make consequential reductions in everything else.
60mph in 3 sec, 190mph plus and you think it's 'too heavy'. What a melt.
@@luciussander8217 It is an S-class luxobarge not a sportscar...
Put it on scales lol. The soul of the 911 bleeding out. Go and drive a 991.1 GTS and get back to me.
Too big Porsche. Go back to the 997 size. (See Mazda Miata.)
Hint: you cannot drive a car 194 mph without risking your license, so what is the point?
Agreed, but that point has long been moot. I cannot drive my 2 litre diesel mondeo as I would like, because that too can exceed 100 mph with ease.
I think it's fair to point out that this is a German performance car. Autobahns, right?
@@johnsmith1474 come to Germany and a derestricted autobahn
What's the point in any fast car if you think like that. Go buy a Fiat 500 mate, you'll be happier.
Watched 60 seconds and I passed out
??
headlights ugly
The end for porkas, 992 turbo's will sky rocket
Nice skx009
Yaaawn 🥱. Every car channel tells the same sh*t. Everything is readable on their homepage…
