With a 2+2 set up, 650PS of actual deliverable power and handling close to Porsche GT... For me, there's no Rival to it!

[@ColdHeritage]

Ignoring the 2+2 setup, which do you prefer, the new 992 Turbo S or the AMG GT R? This is my current dilemma.

[@iLLGT2]

I have amg gtr , have had Porsche for long time including a terribly boring 991 turbo s I’m sorry to say for me and if you’re like me there is no comparison Amg gtr for turbo platform and overall is a rigid, sensory overload from chassis, heavy steering, gearbox engagement pops and bangs, that engine and exhaust pops and bangs The turbo s will cover grounds quicker but it’s a boring boring experience and leaves a lot to be desired if you value soul in your machine

[@ColdHeritage]

@@iLLGT2 this is the type of answer I was looking for. I want to drive something that has soul and personality. I have owned corvettes, a hellcat, an M5, and have driven an R8 and a 570S. I do track my cars, and want something that feels like it needs to be driven, not that it drives for you.

[@iLLGT2]

@@ColdHeritage the gtr is a monster of a car, track focused, all around just a beast of a machine/highly capable with loads of feedback sounds and soul I also have a huracan evo rwd which if you’ve seen any of the recent reviews on it is sensory overload As far as I’m concerned I have the two best and last raw modern examples before going hybrid I’ve had all the older stuff, the newer mclaren, Ferrari, etc Hope you find your bliss , life is short and the car world has become obsessed over numbers and resale value I feel like how car stirs your soul has taken a back seat for most of the car world which is not how it should be!! Ps my amg gtr makes my ex 991 GT3 rs.1 even feel like a dog and soft Go watch the amg gtr vs Ford gt vs gt2rs vid

Outstanding review bro!. 911 turbo let alone a turbo s is without a doubt among the top 5 dream cars for 99.99% of petrolheads. Unmatched beast ! , that can do serious damage to super cars that are twice as expensive or even triple . Not sure though 3.2 seconds 0-60 for the 993 turbo or even turbo s bro , maybe more towards high 3s like 3.8 or 3.9 seconds which is still crazy even today.

[@SteveC-Shaman]

That's not even the best part of them. Put a little tune on them to bring them up to potential of available fuel, and pound them mercilessly. They just soak it up without complaint. And *that* is something money won't buy you from most brands.

[@iLLGT2]

I had a 993 turbo before my 996 tt back in 04 and yea not even close to 3.2 Yes new turbo s is fast beyond and so capable but for a true Motörhead it leaves the scintillating soul out of it also unfortunately And I tried to love it so much to get back into one

[@gapyrodawg5181]

I've always been a fan of the 911 Turbo. It may not have the flashy looks of a Ferrari or Lamborghini. But it's always been able to hold its own Against the competition if not out right embarrass them. I think Porsche saw what tuners were getting outta the 911 these last 10years and decided to give the Turbo S the power needed to compete for the crown if not keep it. Beating Lamborghini and Ferrari on a road course, and beating McLaren and it's Alien technology on the strip is something amazing. Wondering what the next generation will do to push the boundaries. Me personally I think we'll see some form of Hybrid tech makes its way on to the platform. 640 to 680hp from the Gas engine aided by 130 to 150hp from a Electric motor = over 800hp and decent fuel mileage!!! What ever Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren are working on for their next generation Supercars, may not be enough to take the top spot from the Germans.

[@992TurboS.]

You are absolutely spot on , when buying I tested McLaren and Ferrari and people were telling my to get the GT3 . Ultimately the Turbo S was the best choice. I do use it as my daily drive , it performs well on track and around town but more importantly its civil for business and pleasure outings .

[@caxsfSpeedster]

992 turbo S : Good engine, good overall quality. The bad things: 1 - Without the sport suspension feels like a fat pig braking and turning 2 - steering wheel, probably the worst part of it, awful calibration in sport plus mode, too much artificially heaviness without any kind of sensitivity in the neutral position..you cannot feel the rubber in your hand like in may other cars. I feel that the 992 generation is a downgrade from the 991 in terms of steering wheel calibration, and no question the 997 is much superior in all aspects of the steering wheel. 3 - Car understeers easily, it is not a sharp turning car like an SLS AMG, a 997 GT2, a Giulia quadrifoglio..A very good thing is the throttle pedal calibration for a modern turbo car. With all the absurd laws produced by people that probably live a life of frustration and sexual abstinence for the wrong reasons, Porsche still managed to give some relatively good mechanic throttle pedal feeling of the engine and managed the lag of these new turbos relatively well. However, from 3000 to 4000 rpms there is a slight torque fluctuation when the ECU backs off boost a bit and from 4000 rpms onward, they should have made the torque delivery a bit more intense. It feels a bit numb and characterless. Overall, very good performance, but wrapped in a car that should have been calibrated for more sportier feeling instead of comfort. Particularly, suspension and steering wheel. and the recipe of the GT3 for the steering wheel is not good enough as I find the steering wheel feel of a 992 GT3 much worse than the 991.2 GT3 RS and any of the 997 line up. However, this is a bloke that does not care much about comfort and also does not care much about track times. I care about raw feelings and emotions when driving a car. For instance the chassis control of the 992 turbo S + its rear axis steering wheels is a negative aspect for me. It hinders part of the expected instantaneously mass transfer that I like to feel when driving...it is more efficient, but less fun...

Raz, always enjoy your history on any new review. Great insight and for me who read every car magazine in the 80's and 90's. I Used to use my dinner money to buy Car Magazine and Fast Car, you were not born then! The photography in Car Magazine was incredible. In many ways it lines up with your production and the guys are Car Perfection! Must be hard being a Porsche convert and thinking do I really want that AMG Black, when the 992 GT3 will be better on a track, hold its value better and be a much more rounded car! I understand though you are a huge MB AMG brand ambassador. Total respect. Thinking about your comment about a GT car combined with a 911 Turbo S - maybe Porsche should do a 992 GT2 RS Touring! I think the 992.2 Turbo S will have the new GT3 gear leaver installed as the 991.1/991.2. I hope so! The rocker switch is ok in the Taycan but is not the right solution in a 911 in any form. Whats your thoughts? Mind your the 911 in PDK knows better than any driver what gear it should be in before you have thought about it. But, we just like that lever to be there! Keep up the great work!
