NEW Porsche 992GTS and five reasons you might take it over the 992GT3 

Fantastic video Roger, you have outdone yourself in making this video. For me personally the best video you’ve made this year. Great angles and camera work and fantastic subject matter comparing these two cars. Hats off mate!

I have both cars a Carrera 4S and a GT3. They are completely different characters. A GTS is for traveling, from a to b, a GT3 is for driving out of your garage, have fun for two hours and drive right back into it. But those two hours are topped by absolutely nothing. A. GT 3 is a complete class by itsself.

Love your video ! I am a happy 992GTS owner , it is perfect and beyond imagination

I went Turbo S and no regrets selling my GT3 as daily driving is my use......unbeatable daily especially on the low end torque being there versus other 911s....

I can see why a GTS will apeal to a broad audiance but for raw thrills I'd take the GT3 all day long, as it happens I haven't got the money needed for either of them.

I chose gts and I am satisfied. Actually, it's the same price as gt3 because it's a 4 gts cabriolet, but it's more useful 👍

Wonderful review. Very balanced and very insightful. Another great video and review RB, very well done and thanks.

I've been waiting for this one, a proper comparison of GTS & GT3 and its by the maestro of Porsche reviewing, excellent job roger

My 992 gts is on the boat to United States! I driven both and GTS felt faster in a straight line but cornering was amazing on a GT3.

Got a 2019 991.2 4 gts and live it! No plans to change to newer.

I had until recently a 991.2 GTS with PDK and just upgraded to a 991.2 GT3 Touring. The GTS is fantastic, probably faster in a straight line, and comfortable. However, it left me wanting more. The GT3 gives that to me. It’s harder to drive and is a lot less practical and comfortable (bucket seats), but you can’t beat it for raw emotion, if that trade-off is worth it to you. I find the ride to be marginally stiffer and of course it sits lower. The steering is more precise and gives me much more confidence in the corners. Completely different cars and can’t go wrong either way. Btw love your videos. You’re very articulate and knowledgeable. And the rock music is cool.

Diva. Great video Roger. An excellent comparison video of two fantastic cars. One of your best!

The 911 is a car that gets under your skin in a way that if ever you own one and then sell it you just know you will want another. There really is one for everyone. The Turbo S just does everything, GT3 is an aural delight. The base Carrera is pure 911 and wonderful. The GTS is the absolute consummate all-rounder. But If I had to choose a body style to turn heads it would be the 992 GTS Targa 4. It might be the heaviest, but it will get you from A to B in style. That folding roof is really handy when you want to pack things in when touring too, it gives great access! If you are fit enough to get in and out, plus you can afford one it will be a car you will not regret buying! The perfect sports car. Graet video as always Roger!

Nice drone footage of West Kirby at the end of the video Roger. GT3 every time for me, but until I win the lotto I'll just make do with my Cayman.

Loved the video as always Mr Bailey, and I agree on your findings ! Well done Sir ! Both lovely machines but GT3 is in another league, so much more emotional as you've so well shown us ! GTS is such a great all rounder ! Greetings also to Mrs. B !

Agree 💯 Roger! That black example of a GTS is superb! 😎

excellent!! a Roger Bailey video, time to sit back and be entertained

In my market, a well used 2019 GTS sells for more than the list price of a 2019 GT3. Crazy market dynamics…

I recently got an allocation for a GTS (yay!!!). Really had my heart set on a Targa non-GTS but that wasn’t about to happen anytime soon so the GTS coupe will just have to ‘do’ until I get a shot at theTarga. Roger, your video definitely convinced me that I will in no way be disappointed with this car. Thanks for your perspective and excellent video! Still won’t be driving it until spring ’23, but I’m even more pumped now after watching.

Thank you for the Video comparing both vehicles. I ordered a GTS which will be delivered mid October. Total wait time for it would have been about 1 year. Doing that put me further up on the list with my dealership for a GT3 which is estimated at 3 years away for 992.2 generation car.

Hi Roger! Great Video.. I just order a GTS yesterday and I was very happy to watch your Clip, which simply confirms what a complete sports car the GTS is.. now I am having a tough time waiting till delivery in November 😕

Awe your grandson screaming noisy - now ain’t that your definitive “is it loud” test right there 💯 😂 Good content!

Help from 🇺🇸. Very well done review. Ordered my ‘24 911 GTS Coupe last week.

Great review of the GTS, thank you! I’m tempted to order a manual one..

If you configure a GTS with all the lightweight bits (carbon roof, lightweight/noise insulated glass, PCCBs, and full buckets seats/rear seat delete) and the Aerokit, I imagine the performance is damn close to a GT3.

Great Video comparing exactly these 2 cars. I ordered the GTS.

If only they used the same 4.0 liter NA engine in the Boxster GTS, Spyder, GT4. Shame.

Really enjoy your videos here in Colorado. Drive an M4 Competition, but love Porsches and Corvettes. You always seem to get to the meat of the review clearly. Keep them coming! This one was really fun.

I actually saw one of these recently on the road and thought to myself, jesus Porsche has stepped up. That looks very much like a supercar like any other Lamborghini or Ferrari. The rear side especially.

Thank you for saving me $120k. I almost pulled the plug on getting a GT3 touring to replace my GTS (that looks identical to the one you featured) !!

gts in that same spec is my dream car - unless i can get a gt3 touring!

How did you attach a baby seat to the buckets?

Give the GTS a stage 1 ECU tune file, it will be significantly faster than the NA GT3.

for me this is the best car review channel on youtube, keep them coming Mr Bailey

If you got a GT3, you're not looking back on a GTS. Unless you're getting too old.

Nice comparison Roger. You can now get a GT3 for £160k, so it just proves that with a bit of patience you can avoid all the musical chairs to get an allocation and big £100k overs market, which has now collapsed two years later.

gts has a newer 8 speed pdk and is more torquey wouldnt be surprised if its a bit faster too. I think most people that want a gt3 actually want a gts and dont know it

Thank you for that reaffirmation- I have just taken delivery of the 992 4GTS- racing yellow. Where do I go after this😂

Always GT3!! I just got my new 992 GT3 last Sunday and was very happy to own the latest generation of Porsche flat six 4.0L NA engine...hope to enjoy high rev sound after 1500 km engine run in..

Both are beyond my reach but I spent some time in the configurator and found the GTS to be better looking in all black with the aeropackage. Also a simple stage 1 tune will make it faster in a straight line than a GT3. Of course when specking the GTS as I wish it costs close to a Turbo.

I love your videos, Roger. I live in California and I have to say that the 718 Cayman/Boxster base with 6-speed MT may, in fact, be the best car for California roads (including the engaging canyon roads) and traffic situations. Plus, gas mileage is pretty good with the 2.0T engine. Keep up the great work!

Oliver with the cutest of noise reviews

by far the best youtube channel there is when i comes to car reviews, very skilfully made roger bailey great video

Very enjoyable video Roger. Grazie.

Another excellent, on point video and all so true. This is the 911 I would recommend to 99% of those looking to own and truly enjoy the entire 911 experience.

Great informative video......mine is due in a few weeks, you have put my mind at rest now.....can't wait!!!

Thank you, I really appreciate this and will keep this video in mind one day when I get a job

I'm new to the Porsche family; I just picked up a '23 Cayenne GTS last November. It's exceptional. But I really want a new 911 before they go electric/hybrid, so I put a deposit to be on the waitlist for the next generation 992.2 GTS. It will give me a few years to live with the Cayenne before I trade it in. Likely going with the Coupe, RWD, PDK, Black Jet Metallic.

Nice video, and fully agree with your GTS verdict (hence I ordered one.... 18month wait though....)

Hi Roger. Congrats for your beautiful GT3 and the video. As far as I understand, it is quite difficult to get a GT3 allocation in the UK. In Italy, my Porsche Zentrum would let me order both GTS and GT3. In this case, there is no discussion in my eyes if you are looking for a “weekend” car, GT3 all day long! Keep the great content.

In tbdd ex real world the higher torque available sooner makes a huge difference in favor of the gts. Sometimes I think the gt3 could be turbocharged with shorter gear ratio then it will burn anything

Thank you for the information. But when you spec. out the GT3 and the GTS 4, price difference is only $15,000

The 718 GTS 4.0 seems the most desireable as far as a high performance everyday useable Porsches go. What it has ahead of the 992 GTS is the NA engine, which I don't need to explain, and the more compact dimensions, which makes it much more suited for regular (back) roads.

Excellent presentation

Drop a detuned GT3 NA engine in the GTS’ softer platform and that’s the sweet spot IMO. GTS too similar to the S version

What about the Cayman GTS? It is lighter and comes with the 4 litre NA engine. So you can use more of the performance more of the time and has some of the sound of a GT3/4. If you were to use the extra performance of the GTS over the standard S you would lose your licence anywhere except the autobahn.

Very very good comparison.. Great review Sir

If you already have 4 cars+, you'd choose the GT3. If this is your first sport car, you would choose the GTS

Great review, Roger. You mention all the points that made my decision on the GTS. I could be wrong but I read somewhere that the torque numbers on the GTS are even higher than the GT3 and 0-60 is only .1 second slower...2.7 GT3 vs 2.8 GTS. Fast enough for me. Just got the email today that my Aventurine Green Metallic Carrera 4 GTS just got put on the boat from Germany....next week will drag by...but getting excited.

I just had the opportunity to drive these 2 back to back and without having the time to watch this video yet I can say with absolute certainty that they are nothing alike and it’s almost amazing that they start off from the same basic platform. The GT3 while being noticeably less torque sounds night and day better, the gearbox of the GT3 was also far superior to the much more vague 7-spd in the GTS but the biggest difference is undoubtedly in the steering response and precision of the GT3 as well as the suspension seems so much more dialed in without a huge detriment to the ride. It felt like the GTS rode higher and was actually more crashy over bumps which was very surprising to me because it didn’t feel a lot more dailyable or livable but moral of the story is anyone that says the GTS is a slightly less GT3 is a complete idiot (and I’ve read quite a few reviews/watched videos saying such things). The GTS is a glorified Carrera S which is what I drive, GT3 is a totally different car, it literally blew me away and I now understand why people pay ridiculous premiums for them.

Great video Roger. As a daily driver the GTS is the better car, but for pure driving there is no competition particularly given residuals for the gt3. I’m never selling my 991.2 gt3, just lucky enough to have a 2022 Macan GTS as a daily.

Would had been funny to see the reaction of your grandson in the GTS (boring, let's go back to the GT3 😉). Interesting video, but to me both cars doesn't really compare to eachother, because the purpose for both is different. The one is basically a race car (even the 992 touring as many complain) that you buy for weekend fun, while the other is more aimed to be a fast daily driver. I don't think anyone would take the GTS for track driving, if he had the chance to get a GT3 instead. So when you look at it from the purpose perspective, the comparison between GTS and Turbo/Turbo S might be better, since they also are meant to be daily drivers.

I would be more inclined to go for a 7 speed manual? PDK is quicker of the mark but wouldn't manual still be more engaging 🤔

The GT3 is the it car of today. But the GTS will be the it car of the future. I predict that there is going to be a big change in the car world. We are going to go from the highest possible performance, highest possible speed, and any/all features that make a car more racecar like... to a market that wants better interior design, more comfortable ride, better fuel economy, etc which is the GTS.

Hi Roger loved the Thunderbirds countdown (amazing childhood memories as I was T2) - excellent content and editing. For me it’s the GTS all day long. Looks like Oliver had a funday out! 😎

Nice Roger! You’ve sold me!

Having a new 4 GTS, I can say that what makes it a better daily drive is the torque, more relaxed steering, and the helper springs which give excellent body control at high speeds. Downsides include numerous rattles and buzzes from the interior that can’t really be pinpointed and fixed.

Great review. So big question is 2 or 4wd? Also do you think GTS is better for a daily driver that gets 4 or 5 track days a year?

Great video Roger, nice work 👌👏

I have to be frank - specifying non-centerlock wheels on a GTS is kind of sacrilege in my book.

Hello Roger.. thanks for the great video… I want your opinion… is base 992 deserve to spend money for it..?

Hi Roger, I am on the list for a GTS and I’m torn between the bucket and sport seats. This is a weekend car for fun with a focus on driving so I’m leaning toward the buckets. They look amazing and could possibly make it more special. I have a 981 GT4 at the moment with the sport seats, so I want to make this interior and experience different. Are the buckets too extreme or is it a good choice for a dedicated weekend driving car? Your feedback is appreciated.

Great video and quality filming! What are your thoughts re a big spoiler / aerokit on a GTS?

i like the gt3 touring. all of the 992's are perfect

In brief, we need one of both!

Another great video - well done

Hi Roger How do I get hold of a front number plate like that on the GT3?

well judged entertaining comparison, the main reason of course is number one

Your guest presenter is refreshingly honest :-)

Having driven a Cayman S for three years I can say I am truly a convert over to Porsche. Simply amazing driving experience. Having said that, this whole allocation process and “getting on a three year wait list” is absurd. Porsche should simply build the amount of cars that are ordered. Everyone would be much happier and satisfied. Why would any manufacturer of any product want to limit what they build thus reducing sales? As for building cache with artificial limits of availability? In my estimation that strategy only creates animosity and disgust.

Fantastic comparison Roger. Both are great cars. My friend is locking down his GTS spec at Chester OPC as I type this. Lucky chap! 👍😎

Another great porsche vid from Sir Roger. Hope we get a review of a gts 2 wheel drive manual. Heard porsche made changes to the gts' manual trans. Please making more videos Sir Roger. More power!

Which one is the best value for money

Another great video Roger ☺️👍🏼 Hi from over the water 👍🏼

Nice comparison video!

I would take the GTS so I didn’t have to kneel down and beg to a OPC Salesman ! Great video Mr B.

Thanks for the video. Looks awesome in black. My 4 GTS order just locked in PTS Sports Classic Grey, but this spec with the yellow carbons ceramics is making me second guess that choice!

Perfect video. I'm trading my gt3 for the gts.

Which GTS model would you recommend. GTS, GTS4, GTS4 Targa, or the GTS Cab? Would you get it in manual or PDK? What is the weight difference between them?

Dear Roger , please comment on the comparison between a 2022 718 GTS 4.0 ( naturally aspirated , love the sound ) cab that I now own vs the 2023 992 GTS Cab with rear wheel steering , which would choose ? My 911 comes in at end of Oct 22 , I came up on the list a bit to my surprise early July . Both cars are made to my order White with red tops & Bordeaux red interiors, pdks , Great videos . By the way I’ve driven a few GT 3 ‘s including track laps in a 2019 Gt3 RS ( loved it ) , my GTS is at MSRP . Thanks Doc Steve

dyou' know I'd probably take the GTS given the choice. Excellent comparison review Roger

Thanks

Hi! Would recommend the manual gearbox on the GTS?

Great review Roger....makes so much sense. By the way..my Targa 4S gets built next week!

I have a GTS coupe coming in in late October. Ordered with Normal PASM. Don't need an overly stiff ride in normal mode. Did I do the right thing?

If you are not planning to track it I think GT3 is not a right car for daily on the other hand GT3 is more collectable no doubt. But in my opinion GTS can be considered as collectable if you get it in Targa. Number of allocations that a dealer has for GT3 and Targa 4 GTS might be very similar.

I think this customer history, allocation thing is unique to British dealerships,as a 992 GT3 fanboy I scour the internet for reviews and it doesn’t seem to be the case overseas🤔

Just never order centre lock wheels, I had puncture last year, had to be recovered to Porsche, it took 8 hours...for a simple nail in tyre

The *_911 GTS...._* _Mmmmmmmm...._ *Very, very nice.* However. I wasn't expecting to see Tracy Island with this Thunderbirds themed video, but I'd have thought the _Blonde Stalker_ would have made a *Jilly Island* out of loo rolls, carboard boxes and sticky backed tape! 🤔😶😁 So, so dissappointed Mr. B. 8-((... From what I've read and watched about the GTS for the last 6 or more months, it certainly seems to hit the spot. Not too powerful and not to average either for a 911. If there ever was an _"average"_ 911? Great video again Mr. B. And still Your No1 Stalker ;-))...

Hi Roger I like your review it's great.. For me I am seeing my self in a Gt3 touring but still not sure manual or PDK.. I woned both and live them both
