Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet Review - extra power worth the extra£££???

[@markkingsbury8718]

Collecting my new 992 GTS Coupe on Thursday - moving up from 992 Coupe S that I’ve had for 2.5 years. The S was fantastic. This time I’ve not held back on the options. Changed from Agate to Artic Grey that I think pops a little more. Thanks for the video summary

[@peterbuchan898]

Great car, looked at the GTS but the 992 are dipping at the moment. I sold my 992 coupe S a couple of months ago and went for a Macan GTS and the car is fantastic don’t miss the 992.

[@capaldi328]

How funny. I just sold my 22' Macan GTS for a 24' 992 base and don't miss the Macan one bit. @@peterbuchan898

[@CarMadDad]

Congrats on the purchase fella - let me know what you think about the ride - felt a level up compared to my s

[@CarMadDad]

Not sure I follow the logic of leaving the 992 due to depreciation and picking up a Macan (which will do the same) - love the Macan - great all rounder

[@CarMadDad]

😂

[@Scala598]

Driving that around the Italian lakes sounds superb

[@CarMadDad]

Just perfect I would imagine 👌

[@markkingsbury8718]

Stopped off for a factory tour as well. Really recommend it

I bought a 992 GTS cab in July, 2023. It's a MAGICAL machine. I drove 1000 miles the first week, tracked it the third week, and spent, what was slated to be a single afternoon, 8 days (!) at Tail of the Dragon, on the North Carolina/Tennessee border in the US. I've driven it HARD for over 10,000 non-commuting miles in 9 months. It's truly a dream.

[@CarMadDad]

Great to hear you are enjoying it chap - thank you for sharing

[@felicianomedel]

Great car! Great video!

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you 😊

[@thomasr8130]

Amazing cause - well done

[@CarMadDad]

Cheers fella x

[@idonjohnson6999]

Car looks very cool. Much want.

Cheers buddy - she’s a lady

I just picked up my GTS cab in 2 wheel drive, after having the C2S cab for a year i can honestly say that nothing is a massive improvemet on the GTS over the C2S but everything is at least 10% better which adds up to a bigger smile. Also the best 2 wheel drive convertable Porshe make it the GTS and after driving a few 4 wheel drive 911 992s I will stick with the 2 wheel drive as its far more rewarding. Apparantly the next gen 992 will be some sort of hybrid (what an awful shame)

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you for sharing your experiences 👌

[@bellastaffypearmapearman2666]

car looks absolutely slick ❤

[@CarMadDad]

It does chap - better in the flesh!

[@MW-gi1tr]

Gts is a trim package. The minimal HP gain will go unnoticed. The bigger brakes r a waste as the standard ones are more than up to the job. Save the money and add the options u want and not the ones crammed into the package.

[@CarMadDad]

Thanks for the view and thoughts chap

[@RB-xv4si]

Wheather it’s a waste really depends on how the car is driven.

[@shelloiluk]

Great video and charity work. I had a new 992 911S and crashed it. My 5th porsche number 6 will be a gts

[@CarMadDad]

Thank you very much kindly sir 🫡

[@BubuBarong]

1) your voice is identical to Carl Hartley's 2) it's RaceTex, not race tech. Cheers from Italy and keep up the good work!

[@CarMadDad]

Interesting chap I’ve never hear Carl speak but I’ll take that as a compliment. 2 - noted 👍

[@Spyder_Tours]

Love it and obviously want one 😁

[@CarMadDad]

Great all rounder chap

[@rondail5675]

Hello from Boston, USA. I priced a Porsche 911 GTS Coupe which would cost $160k U$A. Sorry but I am a Corvette guy. Respect to all Porsche loyalist. A Corvette Coupe similarly equipped cost $82k U$A. With a limited and stretched budget, I like the new Corvette better. Just a matter of opinion. I do like the GTS because you said it was more of a GT car rather than a track car. I like GT cars. Now you can fry me when rough comments. $82k = $64,650.98 GBP $160k = $126,148.25 GBP

[@CarMadDad]

No frying necessary my friend from across the pond. Corvette certainly seems like great value in comparison - thank you for sharing

[@Mac_F87]

Lovely car to be fair.

[@CarMadDad]

Very tidy chap

[@Watson1973]

Perfect Porsche Except I hate black Alloys

[@CarMadDad]

Usually not a fan myself either

[@Watson1973]

@@CarMadDad thank God I thought it just me!! 😀

[@CarMadDad]

You at most certainly not alone

[@shaunwitzler5482]

GTS not as stiff as the S? I've watched dozens of youtube videos on this topic, as I am in the market for a new 911, and you are the only person who has said that, everyone else has it the other way around. 🤔

[@CarMadDad]

I was surprised as well chap Suspension to me seemed more compliant - rode bumps better and didn’t feel as much of the road - maybe it’s the helper prongs in the front? Or that it was a convertible instead of a coupe?!? Or I’m a simpleton and wrong 😑

[@TuvingtonD]

⁠@@CarMadDadThe GTS has the same spring rates as the Turbo S. It's much stiffer than the S spring rates. The car you tested might have had a -10mm SPASM delete option and/or very low tire pressures. FYI, I've been tinkering with tire pressures on my 4GTS. 33/38, uncheck Comfort, uncheck Full Load seems to give the best ride/handling.

[@CarMadDad]

Appreciate the thoughts and input @@TuvingtonD

[@surajvenkat]

I've owned my GTS Cab for than an year now. The reviewer is correct more refined ride than an S, the suspension components from Turbo S make all the difference. When you push the GTS hard it comes alive and you will observe the difference between S.

[@g.g.9812]

Nice but I would take Targa 4GTS :)

[@CarMadDad]

Yeah fancy a rip in a targa to see what they are about

[@g.g.9812]

@@CarMadDad I drove one on the road and also on a track. It is a lot of car if someone can be patient enough to wait for a allocation since it is way harder to get compared to to convertible…

[@CarMadDad]

I didn’t know that chap - interesting 🤔

[@gregvickers3633]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@CarMadDad]

Thank yooouuuu

[@gregvickers3633]

If you fancy driving a Morgan plus six - let me know 👍

[@CarMadDad]

Will do - thank you Hear they are great things

[@neilgaydon5430]

A good GT but too fast to exploit on UK roads. After owning five 911’s, including a Turbo S, I now have a Boxster 4.0 GTS - looks better than a 911 cab given it was designed to be a roadster, N/A, sublime handling, sound, weight and size. Porsche best sports car…a GT it ain’t.

[@CarMadDad]

Like you say - very good car but too fast for UK roads - likely why this one is destined for European road trips. Love that 4.0l in any car - sublime

[@mgugushe6379]

I think this is a decent review, however, it would be great to hear more from the car itself. The GTS has amazing notes, which respectfully, are very muted in this video, especially when considering the cabriolet derivative being driven.

[@CarMadDad]

Noted - cheers 👌

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Odd the springs are stiffer than S , maybe normal suspension mode is extra soft . GTS seems like a package alcantara blacked out model . The lightest coupe RWD form and lightweight package , then we’re talking. Otherwise it’s just a S with bigger brakes. Not a midpoint to a GT product.

[@CarMadDad]

Appreciate the view and comments

[@gurugamer8632]

Is the tiagra better than cabriolet?

[@CarMadDad]

I’m not sure having never driven a targa…

[@outsidethepyramid]

lovely car

[@CarMadDad]

She’s a lady 👌

[@flippingboring7272]

Your a long way out on the price difference a C2S cab starts at £120k and the GTS cab starts at £134.2k that £14k difference. PS i enjoy your videos

[@CarMadDad]

Oh cheers chap - think I was basic mine on cars in circulation and with options (but cheers)
