@@Btc1ml feeling and handling are completely subjective, but I didn't say any car did those things better--that is your requirement. I'll leave feeling alone because it's a vague term for cars and means different things to different people, but plenty of cars handle very well. Corvettes do, especially since c6 on up; RX-7/RX-8, Miatas, OG NSXs from the 90s, just about any Lotus, to name a few. Furthermore, the Gen 5 Viper ACR will go toe-to-toe with any Porsche in the handling department.

[@robotkiller99]

I’ve owned a Carrera S, a 992 Turbo S and now a 991.2 GT3 Touring and 993. All are great cars, but in no circumstance did the Carrera outperform the Turbo S in the corners. The turn in, grip and cornering speeds on the Turbo S are way higher and the steering feel is the same, if not better. The Touring owns all when it comes to this stuff and I get why someone might prefer a RWD, manual 992 with a more linear engine. Personally, I think the Turbo S is more fun than the PDK Carrera S. The air-cooled cars and GT cars are on another level. For me: Carrera S < Turbo S < GT3T/993

It is noticeably quieter than the 992 Carrera.

[@danrickard1911]

Nick, your points are all correct. What you miss, is this car is exactly what it is designed to be. The perfect Grand Touring automobile. Spend a day in a Turbo S carving the Alps or driving through the city, and you will exit feeling refreshed. Try driving a GT3, or even a Carerra T for more than an hour, and your back hurts, your ears ring, and your arms, legs, and shoulders are tired from constantly shifting. It is true that a GT3 will out corner the TTS (easily), but I have yet to see a track without a straight bit sufficient to often make up the deficit in time. Put the same tires on both cars and watch the advantage of the lighter track built car further fade away. As far as a stock Carerra walking away in the twisty bits…well I would have to see that for myself. If you are a person that grew up with an automatic transmission in your moms Vista Cruiser and have always dreamed of grinding gears like the old race car drivers of yesteryear, I can understand the fascination with shifting. However, there is nothing fast, or efficient, with gear grinding since the PDK was released. The same with loud pipes. The only people that enjoy a loud car are the ones that made it that way, and that is only if they are not subjected to the drone for more than an hour at a time. Finally, I would say that anyone could easily drive a TTS a 100 miles to the Nurburg Ring, take three laps, then drive home and be ready to do it again the next day. To do that in a Carrera T, well you could, but it would have to be someone who enjoys the punishment of the experience, rather than the comfort of luxury. Oh, BTW, the TTS would kill any other 911 (short of track focused cars) in virtually any kind of street driving (and most tracks), because it is not running on a go cart track without a straightaway.

I have the carbon bucket seats Alcantara steering wheel and bits plus carbon roof and mirrors all of which I like and all make the car a visually more appealing and sporty feeling to me personally as I have decades of exotic car ownership after getting away from boring (styling wise)P cars. So the TS is an awesome piece of engineering perfection that can be engaging when driven fast on a track or in the mountains/canyons The more I drive the TS the more I like it . Nevertheless I agree there are certainly more engaging / fun to drive / sporty choices /way less expensive choices out there

I test drove a 992 Carrera S in my country and rented a Turbo S in switzerland for 2 weeks some time after. You are absolutely right, the car is devastatingly fast (and in my opinion handles very well still) but it is a complete soulless snoozefest to drive at anything less than 9/10. Because of the ludicrous price, the value proposition in my opinion is very, very poor. Ever since that two week trip, I steer all potential 911 buyers to a base model or at most, a C2S. There is absolutely no need to spend more money to get the full 911 experience. Leave the Turbo S to the newly rich youtubers with no imagination. Thanks for the video

In the smoky mountains, on some of the curviest roads on the earth, literally, Turbos dominate. They're so capable in the corners and explosive in the straights that nothing can really keep up. I can't speak to the fun factor, I've never driven one. But Nick will also tell you that manuals are more fun. On the twistiest roads in the smoky mountains the PDK is honestly a lot of fun. You're constantly, and I mean constantly, shifting between 2nd and 3rd. The paddles make that a lot of fun. I'd say the guys/gals who drive in the mountains with us are split 50/50 on which transmission they prefer. But you won't find anyone there claim the Turbo is not fun. My guess, it's not fun going straight

Wash your mouth out Nick. The Turbo S is the king of 911's and sets the benchmark for the rest if the 911 range, not to mention every other sports car. It's being doing this for the last 4 decades. I'd argue that 4wd and PDK enhance the 911 Turbo S way more than they detract from perceived "feel" which is arguably quite engineered "feel" in most modern cars anyway. And every lesser model Carrera makes me want for more grunt. And let's ditch the manual gearbox snobbery. Sure in the past they delivered a little more engagement but Porsches manuals really aren't THAT nice and their PDK is simply the best 'box in the world. Yes a GT3 is more thrilling on the track, as it should be, but the Turbo S is simply monumental. I have one and will be buried with it.

Thanks, Nick. So many different 911 models for so many different buyers. Each has its place in the model lineup. Remember, this is not the most track focused model in the 911 line.

It's the first non-American, non-V8 powered vehicle I've ever owned. At 61, I'm sure it will be my last performance car. Something I've wanted since my teenage years back in the 70's. I still remember the magazine tests of the early, 930 generation, 911 Turbos, before the S model was available. The video didn't have to end at 9:11. There is a lot more to say about this car.

Everything Nick says in the video is pretty spot on. Compared to the other normal 992.1s in the line-up, the Turbo S feels heavy, and below 7/10ths or 8/10ths it feels just like a normal car. It can be great for grand touring and is noticeably quieter and more refined than the main 992 line-up. With the 930 leather package and other standard upgrades it feels very luxurious. Closer to the limit, beast mode comes out, but that almost never happens. Also there is significant turbo / power lag that is not present in the main 992 line-up. For day to day driving it is very nice and comfortable, and it is very practical (for a supercar). But, at the end of day though it rather boring to drive day to day especially compared to the other 992s, the power lag gets annoying, and the extra weight out back is not wanted and can certainly be felt. If you want a sporty feeling and engaging car, the 992 Turbo S is not it.

It's all in your skill and comfort level, these things come alive if you want them to or you can cruise in them like a grocery getter. You HAVE THE CHOICE. That's what detractors miss. It's a Jeckyll/Hyde car.

[@milohajek]

love the 911 line up, and my 2000 C4 has nearly 200,000 miles on it and it still puts a smile on my face, the Turbo S would be my dream car.

[@hman0007]

Very nice review. Honesty and some brutal truth is what every reviewer needs. I'd go with the his/hers Carrera T's over the Turbo. Or I'll just keep my GT3.

[@marcnobel3938]

Nobody says Race-Tex with more irony in the voice like Mr Murray. Great Video!

[@DL911_GTS]

Another amazing vid. Keep them coming. “Fat baby and Webber grill to cook it in” 😂

[@dinnaimo]

Excellent assessment, Nick. You are correct, the Turbo S is the the perfect argument for “less is more”.

[@rjdavies1982]

I sold my base 981 Cayman and bought a 996 turbo. Turbo was mighty but I missed the 2.7 base cayman manual!!!! The only fun I could have in the turbo was boosting down the motorway...

[@frankb7449]

The reason the Turbo S doesn't come in stick is because it would be a second slower to 60. I used to only drive manuals, but once I drove my friend's Turbo S, I had to get a PDK on my Targa 4 GTS....

[@Uhmph]

They don’t come in stick because there’s no manual clutch that can handle 800NM of stress. BMW removed the manual from the G8X M3/M4 Comp version for this reason.

[@justincruz8352]

@@Uhmph I have 650 HP in my g80 M3 manual and still have original clutch. I also beat the shit outta that car.

[@Uhmph]

@ What’s your point? HP isn’t Torque. Go read a book.

[@leekindell9937]

i love my 991.2 turbo s ..little less weight and mine with sports cats and tune 740bhp at crank,,......awesome

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

The fact this looks like any other Porsche to 95% of people is both it’s biggest flaw and advantage. A huracan, continental gt, or AMG GTC offer more uniqueness.

[@zoner__]

Who cares what the uninformed think it is? If you want to just straight out impress get a Roller.

[@nafnaf0]

Interesting, always appreciate the feedback. I will drive one in a few weeks, I'll see how it is. I have heard it might be a slightly better Grand Touring car than the rest of the Carrera line

[@lollypop9580]

Nick, your Katy Perry & co. Illustration is so hilarious and true at same Time. 😁 You really are a spécial person, keep it that way. 🥰

[@jubbalandcars]

Ending with the fat baby and Weber grill had me dying

[@randypischke1270]

I completely disagree with your negatives on the Turbo S. As one who owns a fast, manual transmission, rear wheel drive 911, I always find myself yearning for AWD and PDK when I am driving the car hard. One just cannot shift a manual fast enough when a car is very fast. AWD prevents oversteer from too much throttle in corners, which can be very alarming. Then there is always the concern with a manual of an erroneous down shift blowing the engine. I personally find needing a diaper for hard driving hardly a pro. I will take the PDK and AWD any day over the alternative.

[@williammorris3334]

Love your reviews Nick, yah if I were rich I’d get a Spyder RS, but alas I am not so I’ll gladly settle for my lowly 981 Boxster S and love every single minute of it

[@justinmaccreery2490]

Another great video from Nick Murray! "Econ: Who Cares" and eating baby jokes. Too funny! Keep-m coming and a big Thank You from Charlotte, NC

[@choyayahyah]

I had one of these and spun out a couple times. Once was taking an exit ramp (a little too fast obviously) in the winter and the back end came out. 2nd time was on the highway, it started to poor rain and I spun out. Thank God it was late at night with not much traffic. So, yeah the back end is heavy and it does compromise the handling but it's also a pretty dam good highway cruiser amd looks out of this world. But now I drive a gt3 manual and I would want to add another turbo S to the garage

[@homehome6739]

Good evening, I suggest you test ride the new carrera T, we need your assessment, can you?

[@Closertotruth2]

I agree wholeheartedly Nick. However, I would like to actually add 110 pounds to the back seat of my manual GTS cab, can you give Katy a call?

[@mohamadjamil3164]

Excellent review. To the point and clear

[@TheDesmonaut]

Nick, Love you brother. Long time fan.But, as is often the case, you are wrong. Again. I kid, you're only wrong sometimes. EVO (a rather large respected publication) tracked a model year 2015 991.1 Turbo S around Anglesey circuit (notoriously short and twisty) in 1:13.6 sec in their "Leaderboard" youtube series. Leaderboard is where EVO take all the cars, as sold, and run them all on the same track to give some relative, albeit imperfect, performance context in a "controlled" environment. 1:13.6 is 4.2 sec faster than a 991.1 Carrera. 3.3 sec faster than a GT-R, 0.06 sec faster than the mighty 458 Speciale and the EXCAT same time a 991.2 GT3RS lapped Anglesey. As I am sure its not strange feeling for you to be humbled, feel free to search KZbin for "Porsche 911 Turbo S | evo LEADERBOARD" and bring a fork for a large helping of pie. And as in typical 911 fashion the 992 is even faster than the its predecessor. Heavy? yes, yet faster despite it. Again, love the channel.

[@markgregorek9981]

Great review, even with that filthy window. Love to hear your input on the Z06.

[@DJLaro]

Ah I wanted to get the GTS comparison we have been promised! Way to fail us Nick!

[@NickMurray]

Filming it on Saturday if the weather holds

[@DJLaro]

@@NickMurray Sounds good. Just teasing you but interested as I may be getting a GTS next year.

[@bkeen7013]

Love that the video is 9:11 in duration. Sly dawg, you.

Anyone who’s looking at this for real value and actually determining what car to get please do not listen to this guy-

[@RobG001]

Excellent review, nobody reviews a car like Nick, At least one reviewer who is not a Porsche corporate shrill. :)

[@johnrb9397]

His back!! Nice to see some recent and frequent vids on cars..

[@popeyepanther4519]

Thanks for a good review.

[@Mr.TesB123]

Very interesting comparison my friend 🤔 thank you … food for thought the turbo car as a daily driver (all weather) and the 911 T the drivers car.

[@bbgt6299]

There is a video out on spa racetrack in belgium where in the hands of a pro as well a average driver both had a quicker run in the turbo s vs 992gt3 - so despite slightly faster in corners for the gt3 the turbo was faster for both. Aaarggggggghhhh nick 😂😅

[@gloofisearch]

Not sure about your result. Just about a week ago, the CarWow KZbin channel had a professional race driver and the CarWow presenter drive the Turbo S and the GT3 on world known Spa Francorchamps and both drivers were faster around the track in the Turbo S.

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

Dang. Dodge in the same conversation as a Porsche 911. Brutal.

[@esco1578]

I wanted to disagree with your opinion but honestly. You make a solid point. Having a little drama adds to the experience of a sports car.

[@TParker602]

Preach the truth! My fav video you’ve done. Hilarious!
