This is the new 2022 model year Porsche 911 GTS, tested both on a road and at a race track.
You can have a GTS as a coupe, cabriolet or with Targa body style. It can be had in two or four wheel drive and with either a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed PDK automatic gearbox.
The new GTS has more power than a regular Carrera S, with its 3.0-litre flat six turbocharged engine making 473bhp, up by 30bhp over a Carrera S.
But it's in the suspension department where the GTS gets the most attention. Its ride height is dropped by 10mm over a Carrera S and it has Turbo-style wheels, brakes and suspension.
Exterior identifying features are largely limited to black badges and wheels and 'dark chrome' styling elements. Inside there's lots of suede-like upholstery and new decor, but also the option of a Lightweight package that cuts 25kg from the GTS's kerbweight.
This all sounds quite compelling. So join Autocar's Road Test Editor Matt Saunders as he tests a Cabriolet on the road and a Coupe on track.

Ehhh, while I low this look as well, I think anyone would be better off getting a last gen or 997 gts instead of a 992 one. That way you get the flat six naturally aspirated and to me, if one can afford it, I think it's the only engine you should consider lol

The first review on a GTS with the right information i need, talking about weight (pdk, 4wd, ceramic breaks and cabrio)! I made my choice for the 2wd manual coupe😄 Thanks mate and greetings from Switzerland.

@richardconway6425 Год назад

I'm sure you've made the right choice. That's exactly what I would have chosen, and I think a lot of others too. We hear this over and over again - for those who are listening - that the best car is the rear-drive coupe with a manual gearbox. It's common sense, and also the 'purists' view of what makes a great sports car. Minimum weight, maximum driver involvement. There are some other decisions to be made, like whether to go for the special lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes, but as long as you've covered the most important bases, then you're all good. I wish you many happy and safe miles.

@bobgees793 2 года назад

Interesting comment about the Turbo S being less comfortable. I had a 991.2 GTS then last year swapped it for a 991.2 Turbo S. The turbo is more comfortable, seats have more padding (I had numb bum after 3hrs in my GTS), and suspension is softer in normal modes. The Turbo S is more of a GT but a complete animal when ‘on it’. The GTS was the best all rounder (I’ve had 997.2 GT3 too). I have briefly driven a 992 Turbo S and it felt sharper, less grand tourer and more like a GTS with a sprinkle of GT3 so I guess the 992 gen cars have been shuffled somewhat in their setups.

@mrtwister5093 2 года назад

can confirm. The Turbo S is more comfortable. GTS is more harsh. For me same in Gen 992

@HiddenWen 2 года назад

Most of the press car turbo S have SPASM, which makes the car firmer. I've driven a cabrio without it, and it's plenty comfy.

What option do you have to select to get a Red GTS when you are inside it driving up a mountain and a yellow one when viewed from outside?

They might do that at some point like the Cayman and Boxster, you gain more noise and character but then trade a bit on the mid range, it depends where Porsche want to position it of course.

The Carerra 4 GTS could be a good all round track day/tarmac rally car with all the performance options, aero kit, carbon bucket seats + full roll cage, extinguisher etc from the Porsche Motorsport Division...4WD, twin-turbo and decent aero. Then to take it to the next level, i'd get DeMan Motorsport to bore/stroke the engine to 4.0 litres, add German competition suspension, a titanium sports exhaust and stickier tyres.

@aviator-kn8zq 2 года назад

well made reviews, its actually not close to a S variant now like before. Its more edgy more the GTS. good value buy, if you can't get the GT3

@user-qn6yt3zx3w 2 года назад

Great review! Matt mentioned “the narrower body of the Carrera” - I thought all 992 bodies were the same width. Even the first gen GT3 started out as a parts-bin special, then Andreas got a hold of the product line and the rest is history. Seems like the GTS is going the same way - started out as a parts-bin special, to up-sell the last of the 997’s, with what was essentially a bucket load of tasty options, heavily discounted.

@opnarth 2 года назад

Turbo/Turbo S are wider than the Carrera's, even though the Carrera's are all now wide body.

@jryalls 2 года назад

Is there actually any power train differences from the Carrera S? I.e. different Turbo set up. Or is it basically a remap?

@MrFoof82 2 года назад

Historically Porsche does two things - software, enforced by hardware. The 991 had a flow ported and polished heads, different cams, different pistons, different plenum. The changes here I don’t know off hand, but I guarantee it’s not just ECU changes, and there’s hardware to hit those numbers.

@jryalls 2 года назад

@th3b0untyhunter 2 года назад

I'm sure most people would. BUT a GT3 is less practical and less refined (important if used as a daily), a lot more money, slower unless thrashed (remember that 3.0tt unit is properly torquey) and the real kicker is most of us mere mortals can't get on the list for a GT3

You're wrong about being able to build a GTS in the past by chosing the right options on an S. With the 991 Porsche offered four ways to buy a wide body, two-wheel drive naturally aspirated 911: the GTS, 911R, GT3, and GT3 RS. There were only two ways to buy a wide body, two-wheel drive, naturally aspirated 997: the GTS and GT3 RS.
