Harry is one of the few reviewers on KZread who can speak about a model's range with the fluency and balance of having driven many of them, and having the status not to be bowled over by anything Porsche. I know when I'm watching this that I'm not looking at someone who needs the next press car to come to them. Long live Harry Metcalfe. Great review.

I think the plus with this particular car is that the styling is so restrained. Rock solid design I think. It's avoidance of unnecessary detail really showcases its beautiful purity of form and the enormous equity in its iconic shape.

Agreed, but what are Porsche doing with their branding ? I love the script that says ‘Porsche’ or ‘Boxster’ etc across the rear of each car, but newer models are starting to copy the boot lid if a 60s Ford Cortina . Too many names and numbers and sometimes badly sized/l displayed. My little Boxster is discrete by comparison and that is one of the main reason I like it so very much.

I find the endless versions of the 911 quite confusing - but Harry is just the man to pick out the differences and help make sense of them :D

I thought the point of so many variants was to give you a price range. They are ALL expensive, a base Carrera can be optioned out to be as expensive as a Turbo. And some of the variants are redundant.

Actually there are not too many 911 models. Porsche just makes it seem like it for marketing purposes. There is (in order) the Carrera, Carrera S, GTS, Turbo and GT3. With the standard Carrera being a sporty cruiser and the GT3 being the most track focused. You can get the Carreras also with 4WD - then the has a "4" in the Name. You also get most models as Coupe, Cabrio or Targa. However the suspension settings, engine, steering and mandatory options really make a difference on the road. Especially the GTs. They for example have a completely different front axle.

Best reviewer on KZread IMO. Your reviews add such perspective and practicality. Thanks Harry!

I think the split between the new GT3 and GT3 Touring has allowed the GT3 to become much more track-focussed, to the detriment of its on-road manners. The GTS seems like an excellent compromise though, and the fact that it's still available with a manual is just gravy.

There is no split between the gt3 and the gt3 touring. the only difference is the lack of spoiler in the touring. With the GT3 being so track focused, I don't know where they go with the gt3RS

Lovely Jubbly, Harry never let's us down with the quality of his videos or the cars he reviews, a big thank you from me.

I really enjoyed this video. The GTS is the sweet spot in the range...sounds great! Thanks Harry. 👍

I own a 991.2 GTS in Europe and last week my son visited from Canada and drove it on a mountain road. I can endorse everything that Harry says about the 911 GTS. Awesome. Now I go back to driving it like an ordinary car, which it isn't. Excellent video.

Great review as always, glad to have a pro like Harry back up my decision to move from 992 C2S to the 992 GTS!

Great video again. When harry reviews a car, I feel like I have been behind the wheel

Fantastic review ..... very insightful and very comprehensive. Defiantly top of my wish list now. Thank you Harry.

Hi Harry, as much as I’d love to think I have a GT3 engine in the back of my 997 GTS, it is unfortunately not the the Mezger unit. The 997 GTS was offered from the 2nd generation 997 and has a regular Carrera S DFI engine (385hp) with the powerkit installed as standard which bumps the power to 408hp. Still a lot of fun with the glorious 6-speed manual gearbox, but not as hardcore as the 997 GT3 (dare I call the 997 GTS comfortable?).

Awesome video Harry. Like a good book I couldn’t put it down, I couldn’t stop watching. One of your best in my opinion. Thank you.

Harry, I could watch you drive this car, over those country roads all day. What a joy. Miles of Smiles.

What a great sound this car makes.To be able to do that even now speaks volumes on Porsche excellence.The 911 still holds its own among the very best even at almost 60 years and counting.

Always an honest review, thank you Harry!

In my opinion the best reviewer of cars on KZread by a very long way. The GTS (RWD) would be my pick of the current 911 range but i would option the PDK gearbox due to an injury. Keep up the good work with terrific content, thanks.

Another terrific test Harry, oh and the car is fantastic as well

Harry thanks once again for an exciting and personal take on the PORSCHE GTS.

Fantastic review Harry, I have just ordered a 911 GTS (18month wait time!!!!) but your review confirms my choice as being the right one- many thanks for a brilliant review!!

Amazing and beautiful machines. Love the Engineering behind. 992 it's flawless!

Great video. I think this would be my Porsche if I had the dough. Its really nice to see the manual gearbox. I hope they don't disappear any time soon.

Great review Harry. And I know what you say about the GTS badge it really does make a difference. My wife bought a new GTS that benfitted from the deletion of the Turbo model in the Macan and it is a screamer at 434bhp I believe.It really does love to go as fast as you can in it. I got a new panamera 4 e hybrid and I am being honest a bit jealous of the GTS badge

Brilliant as always mr Harry

Great Vid, Harry! 👍🏻 GTS is always the sweet-spot for a road-use car. 😉

Great video Harry. Would be great if you could do a final 911 review of the GT3 touring (I don't think I've missed it). Would love hear your views on it.

Brilliant review what a car thank you Harry

I like to see your reviews a lot. my order is done for the GTS, but still not sure about manual gearbox or PDK. As you mentioned, the 7 gear manual must be fantastic, but PDK gives the full acceleration power of this car and on the race track, sport plus is the must have tool for fast lap times. Interior looks better with manual... no boost knob in steering wheel on manual, which is unbelievable to pass car on regular street. I still have time to decide😀 Greetings from Switzerland.

Fabulous - great summary and what a car!

Great review as always.

Simply Wunderbar Harry

Don't think we didn't notice you covered up the digital speedo. 😂😂😂😂

Luv listening too ur reviews!!

Thanks Harry. Cheers from Canada.

great video as always, thank you!

Excellent video Harry. That manual big plus. It's long geared - even 1st - 2nd, like the GT3 but more surge from the extra torque. Would you really prefer a n-a version? All Best

Just beat my thumbs up clicking record. Today it took me just 15 seconds into the vid. Well done Uncle Harry. Great car and yes I would.

Harry is the real deal and born to enlighten viewers about cars like the 911 GTS.

Fantastic review. Really really pleased they kept a manual option on the 992, I really hope more people order The GTS in manual. Great comment about the quirkiness factor

I tend to agree; there are so many 911 (992) models along with too many upgrades, that places confusing upon prospective buyers. It saddens me to hear the GT3 isn’t an everyday drive however; the Turbo S appears a better driving and seemingly, performance option. Thanks Harry for your honest appraisal of 4 x 911 (992) models and the benefits of ceramic brakes over standard. Looking forward to more of your high quality videos. Cheers

Thanks for the wind soundtrack!

Very nice thanks Harry 😎
