Exterior design i think its an improvement. More slick both front and rear end. Interior of the 992 was great but why on earth did you replace that beautiful analogue cluster with a digital one! That rpm cluster was perhaps the most beautiful one 911 has ever had. I think we are fed up with cars being faster and faster, only few can get the most of them. We want cars with character and sports feeling and instead we get, more horsepower, more screens, no manuals and hence less driving experience.

I found the 992 dash rather awkwardly designed, as if they couldnt decide whether to keep with tradition or jump into digital. The 991 series dash was a more traditional setup with lovely analogue gages in the circular binnacles and one being the multifunction digital display. I'm not really a fan of the 992 dash layout but I do give them HUGE credit for not just slapping a tablet vertically onto the dash and calling it a day. So it's better than that for sure.

The new mild hybrid architecture also allows to take out one turbocharger since the single one remaining is hybrid in a way with an electric motor of its own.

NA engines less fuel efficient compared to turbocharged or hybrid. I'm relatively certain (but correct me if I'm wrong) there are regulations in place for major manufacturers to force quotas on how many fuel effient cars they have to produce compared to their less efficient (sport) models. Basically they can't afford to produce less efficient cars in high numbers if they don't have a much higher number in efficient car sales. That forces manufacturers to create more fuel efficient designs, convert their lineup and limit their NA sports cars to small volume top of the line production.

Porsche just nailed it with new 911 perfection,. GTS just love it. Can't wait to see it on the road 😊❤❤❤❤

What's over? The Porsche hybrid system is a lot lighter than other manufacturers hybrid powertrains and you can still get a 911 with no hybrid tech. Seems like they did a great job?

Yup. No manual on a GTS is awful. The GTS was Porsche’s sweet spot.

@@DanielSadjadian Although the technology is quite impressive, it marks the beginning of Porsche electrifying their 911 line up. I don't think anyone wants to drive an EV 911.

I like how Porsche is using engine design concepts from Formula 1 to improve the efficiency and output of their cars taking it to the next level. Not completely sure if the hybrid motor to eliminate Turbo lag originated with F1, but it seems like they trailblazed the concept. Bravo Porsche for bringing this to the consumer level

If it makes no difference in terms of sustainability, why go hybrid? Adds weight, goes against all Porsche purists wants and deletes manual option. Porsche is pushing synthetic fuels majorly, why then make this? I do not understand any of it.

How come no-one is mentioning the insane price hike Porsche is trying to push. This nice GTS as a Targa with full options will set you back 250.000 Euros. 250. Let that sink in.
