Harry is one of the few reviewers on KZbin who can speak about a model's range with the fluency and balance of having driven many of them, and having the status not to be bowled over by anything Porsche. I know when I'm watching this that I'm not looking at someone who needs the next press car to come to them. Long live Harry Metcalfe. Great review.

Agreed, but what are Porsche doing with their branding ? I love the script that says ‘Porsche’ or ‘Boxster’ etc across the rear of each car, but newer models are starting to copy the boot lid if a 60s Ford Cortina . Too many names and numbers and sometimes badly sized/l displayed. My little Boxster is discrete by comparison and that is one of the main reason I like it so very much.

Actually there are not too many 911 models. Porsche just makes it seem like it for marketing purposes. There is (in order) the Carrera, Carrera S, GTS, Turbo and GT3. With the standard Carrera being a sporty cruiser and the GT3 being the most track focused. You can get the Carreras also with 4WD - then the has a "4" in the Name. You also get most models as Coupe, Cabrio or Targa. However the suspension settings, engine, steering and mandatory options really make a difference on the road. Especially the GTs. They for example have a completely different front axle.

I think the split between the new GT3 and GT3 Touring has allowed the GT3 to become much more track-focussed, to the detriment of its on-road manners. The GTS seems like an excellent compromise though, and the fact that it's still available with a manual is just gravy.

Hi Harry, as much as I’d love to think I have a GT3 engine in the back of my 997 GTS, it is unfortunately not the the Mezger unit. The 997 GTS was offered from the 2nd generation 997 and has a regular Carrera S DFI engine (385hp) with the powerkit installed as standard which bumps the power to 408hp. Still a lot of fun with the glorious 6-speed manual gearbox, but not as hardcore as the 997 GT3 (dare I call the 997 GTS comfortable?).

I must say, I don’t agree on brakes. The carbons are so pricey, and for someone that would use it daily, not a journalist special, I would get the steels. That’s someone having fun drifting it around for a few hours, not normal wear.

As you mentioned, the 7 gear manual must be fantastic, but PDK gives the full acceleration power of this car and on the race track, sport plus is the must have tool for fast lap times. Interior looks better with manual... no boost knob in steering wheel on manual, which is unbelievable to pass car on regular street. I still have time to decide😀 Greetings from Switzerland.

Great car but then so is the ‘S’ which is properly fast now - you wouldn’t notice much difference between the two with less than 10% between them in power and torque. There is still quite a big price difference despite Harry playing that down so you can still make a case for the ‘S’ being the sweet spot in the range. Of course, some think the base model is that…

I have owned a lot of 911 in different forms over the years. For my money and being the best performance all-rounder with the 991.2/992 is the 911 Carrera S and GTS in rwd form. The C4S front end feels heavier and the additional grip isn’t necessary with the balance of the modern 911. Put rear wheel steering in the mix and the C2S/GTS is unbelievable to the point even on the track at upper limits tends to defy physics. Even the best drivers will never reach its limits. You can spec either cars so many ways there really isn’t gonna be much of a difference in price point. Go all out in the options and you won’t be disappointed.

Great video. I purchased a 4.0 GTS whilst waiting for my delayed GT4. Fantastic car. Understated and great when up in the rev range. However, just did not feel special enough. Correct in the 99% of a GT4 comment. The last 1% is the most important part though, how it makes you feel! Keep up the good vids...

Great review...480 HP...that's what my first 911 was, a 2007 911 Turbo (997.1), which was obviously much lighter than the 992.2. i sure wish I would have kept that one...the 997 Turbo 6 speed is kind of a the perfect car.

For the rear wheel steer in the lightweight pack, my guess is the rear wheel steer gives the illusion that the car feels lighter/more nimble than it is

The rear-wheel steering does make the steering more sensitive and quicker but also reduces the turning ratio which is very handy in city driving.

Great video as always, thanks Harry. I’ve also heard of people deleting the 10mm lower sports PASM in favour of “normal” PASM which probably makes the GTS even more bearable on our wonderful British roads…!

The 991.2 GT3 6MT was overall a better road going car and also has the screamer 4.0 NA engine that you mentioned. Although the GTS has moved upmarket from the S, you still don’t get the engine sound you get from an NA engine.

The GT´ line is targeted towards track use, not for "Road going" and yes the 991 GT3 was more compliant, the 992 GT3 is more track focused, it's not for the normal road - the GTS is the one to go.

Which is unfortunate because as the owner of a 991.2 GT3 6MT, one of the best features of the car is that it is very much a streetable car.

Great review Harry. And I know what you say about the GTS badge it really does make a difference. My wife bought a new GTS that benfitted from the deletion of the Turbo model in the Macan and it is a screamer at 434bhp I believe.It really does love to go as fast as you can in it. I got a new panamera 4 e hybrid and I am being honest a bit jealous of the GTS badge

Great review as always Harry although it has made me feel I shouldn’t have just bought my 997.2 C2S PDK. Although at the same time it was the best 911 I could afford. I’d love a manual. I would like you to do some plus points for the PDK for all us poor saps.

Just thought of another reason righthand drive cars are less convenient. 90 percent of people around the globe are right handed, and therefore are more adept when using the right hand. Having the shifter, and the touch screen, or worse, the manual screen controls on your left is far less advantages than having them on the right. But, I guess you get used to it, and it does result in better dexterity in your left hand which is a nice benefit. 👍✌
