I have it and I love it!! Best allround car!! I use it for work, picking up my twins from preschool, weekend getaways, track days and more!!! Mine is Guards Red!!
Was more before...The excitement is partly gone though...And now at the same prize there's the r8 and the amg gts. I wouldn't even look at the 911 over those...
the 911 looks better, performs better, handles better, and catches more eyes than all those, the only thing they hae over the 911 is sound. and the front of the r8 looks WAAAAY better (however the rear of the 911 is waaay better) but its your opinion
no, actually it doesn't on any of those elements. ever noticed how far back of the pack 911s are on Nurburgring times (except for a $200k GT3)? The The AMG GT S, Jag SVR, BMW M4 GTS, ZL1, Mustang GT R , Caddy ATS-V are all faster, better looking and less money. You've been successfully propagandized.
911s are "back of the pack"? Lmaoooo what a stupid thing to say. Even the 911 Turbo S has beaten pretty much all of the cars you mentioned on the Nurburgring. Funniest part of the comment is the fact you said "You've been successfully propagandized." after mentioning Nurburgring lap times as if they aren't used by manufacturers solely as a marketing tool to fool kiddies like you. 911 is faster than all of its competition 100% of the time. Let's talk about the real world, not Nurburgring times (even though the 911 aces that, too).
all of you going nuts about him saying its comparable to 570s but let me ask you a question - how many of you have actually driven both cars /like he did/ to be able to question what he said?
I have driven this, the old one and a 570s. The facelift is a hell of a lot quicker then the NA car, really savage acceleration, no matter the ground or situation. From driving fast on street point of view, I don't think the 570s is faster or more enjoyable. That AWD is awesome and the car feels so capable. On the other hand the 570s feels a lot more special, it's a supercar... my choice would still be the GTS. More usable and more fun when going speeds you don't immediately lose your license for.
The GTS is for someone who's perfectly happy with "just enough", there's no ounce of excess in this car, unlike the 570S and R8 That said, it's a class/price lower than the other2 and the 570S is so good that it's rather pointless to get anything else tbh
If you think the 570 is bad looking ,You need your eyes tested.If you drive it properly the turbo lag is irrelevant as you will have it the right gear all the time.I have had all sorts of porsches and still have one but the 570s is on another level. Most porsche cars i have owned i get rid of after 10 months, The 570 20 months and still loving it. Each to their own i suppose.@@coldfusionenergy2477
Glad Matt at least references in passing the turbo economy or lack thereof. Downsized turbo engines might be more efficient on a test bed at light cruise but in the real world, and certainly in a 911 when the car's driven as intended, they are no more efficient than NA.
Its more about emissions/Engine CC than actual fuel economy. Turbocharged engine’s tend to extract more energy from the fuel, lowering the waste byproducts whilst allowing for smaller displacement and not compromising power figures. Also torque is a nice bonus.
Would take a RWD manual if I couldn't get my hands on a GT2. A Carrera 2 GTS manual would be the next best option, would rather it than a GT3 RS or 911R.
Holy crap, beautiful footage - but with that much ambience music in the sound it was hard to hear it all. Was running this over wall mounted speakers and sound direct setting, which usually is good for speech - idk perhaps its just me who had this issue?. Anyway the GTS looks great.
The only reasons you couldn't live with a 570S everyday are depreciation, fair enough, or the fact that you need back seats (in which case you'd have probably settled for an M6 and not a 911 GTS). Other than that it seems to be pretty docile.
armoredpie he compared to the 570s, I didn't randomly bring it up. I'm trying to say they aren't really comparable, the 570s is overall the better car imo.
I daily drove my mclaren mp4 as a true daily for over 6 month in Florida (easy to do with the roads and weather ) 570 makes the turbo s and GTS feel like ordinary cars while still being comfy and DD friendly depreciation won't be as harsh now that the brand is in its stride... turbo s at 220k is insanity, you'll lose more than 570s on that
in investment point gts is special edition and after time price will go up! for sure.....570s ...its faster no dout about that but it will not go up....as i see the 12c price drop a lot...really a lot....you can check both cars prices in sellcarsites
Matt Prior likes his Porsches as does Chris Harris, Matt Saunders likes his McLarens. We all have a favourite, but one thing is for sure you cannot compare a 570S with a Porsche 911 GTS. Remember 570S faster than the 911 Turbo S. I have a 540C sitting outside right now and drove it back to back with a GT3RS a week ago. Probably faster though RS some piece of work!
the car exhaust system can 5 improved, after market is a great option. I have a 2017 carrera 4 and I love it. the pdk, sports mode, chrono, is fantastic. I believe you own one to understand the greatness of these vehicles. if the money isn't a issue you will be buying on of the greatest all around cars. mine is jet black, all leather interior., beauty,speed, comfort, and I am looking into Fabspeed-porsche 991.2 sports headers and exhaust x-pipe system.
I have looked into exactly the same exhaust but have been told categorically it will invalidate the warranty as they quote a recent case whereby a small part came off a top end aftermarket exhaust and went into the engine costing £14k or repairs and the aftermarket exhaust refused to contribute. Personally, as much as I would like to switch, I just can't take the risk.
the music is way too loud
there's nothing to hear, anyway, sadly :(
the turbos ruined the sound
Not as much as you'd think. In person, they sound great.
Yes, it is... And especially for person who is not from Britain, like me. I mean, my English isn't that good.
Totally agree- get rid of the music. I want to hear about car and the car itself. If I want music I can listen to the radio!
only reason I wanted to see this, what an awesome color!
I have it and I love it!! Best allround car!! I use it for work, picking up my twins from preschool, weekend getaways, track days and more!!! Mine is Guards Red!!
AWD or RWD?
BinewTV RWD
head911 perfect 😍
do you happen to know the clour of this car?
@@alexsof9321 I think it’s Graphite Blue metallic!!
Beautiful filming, horrible sound mixing
I thought this was old Top Gear for a second
Porsche....Still the best car out there!
Was more before...The excitement is partly gone though...And now at the same prize there's the r8 and the amg gts. I wouldn't even look at the 911 over those...
911 is a better all round car than either of these
the 911 looks better, performs better, handles better, and catches more eyes than all those, the only thing they hae over the 911 is sound. and the front of the r8 looks WAAAAY better (however the rear of the 911 is waaay better) but its your opinion

Let's talk about the real world, not Nurburgring times (even though the 911 aces that, too).
There's only so much speed you can deploy on the road. I think this thing being slower than the competition works in its favor in real life.
991.1 2016 GTS right before they add Turbo is simply the best GTS ever. Perfect combination of power and comfort with amazing engine sound!
Nah, the 991.2 is miles ahead. Lemme guess you have a 911.1 GTS
Background music too loud. Cant hear him.
Porsches aren't heard, they're driven...
What does that have to do with the music drowning out the speaking?
Loved your take on this one. I’m trying to hopefully get one. Also really liked how specked out and the color combination.
Just traded my 2016 gts4 cab (20,300 miles) and bought a 2024. Can’t wait to get it. GTS are the best
Propahhhhh !!
luimarco absolutely saluted
Absolutely saluted on a day..LEE basees!
911 on steroids PROPAH-LEE executed!
911 baby pleaseeee
Lui loves porsches, but still drives bimmer.
3:34 brand new porsche and look at the swirls in the paint. this is why you never let the dealer wash your car.
Yes Autocar, that's a review! Brilliant!
I'm a fan of the GTS variants across all models. They really are the sweet spot. Apart form the sound, this is something I could get behind again.
Background noise and the music is drowning out the talking. Don't they check out the videos before release? Crazy.
I never realized Wales would be so beautiful. Porsche doesn't communicate enough the all-wheel drive than audi quattro. 4 GTS it's so cool
all of you going nuts about him saying its comparable to 570s but let me ask you a question - how many of you have actually driven both cars /like he did/ to be able to question what he said?
Matej M my father had the previous GTS and now has a 570s. Can't compare it tbh!!
I have driven this, the old one and a 570s. The facelift is a hell of a lot quicker then the NA car, really savage acceleration, no matter the ground or situation. From driving fast on street point of view, I don't think the 570s is faster or more enjoyable. That AWD is awesome and the car feels so capable. On the other hand the 570s feels a lot more special, it's a supercar... my choice would still be the GTS. More usable and more fun when going speeds you don't immediately lose your license for.
The audio levels need to be adjusted.
Still the Best Sports Car in this World..911 Rules in everyway...everyday...
The GTS is for someone who's perfectly happy with "just enough", there's no ounce of excess in this car, unlike the 570S and R8
That said, it's a class/price lower than the other2 and the 570S is so good that it's rather pointless to get anything else tbh
570S looks bad, has terrible turbo lag, and screams entry level and the audis are cold and dojt have personality
If you think the 570 is bad looking ,You need your eyes tested.If you drive it properly the turbo lag is irrelevant as you will have it the right gear all the time.I have had all sorts of porsches and still have one but the 570s is on another level. Most porsche cars i have owned i get rid of after 10 months, The 570 20 months and still loving it. Each to their own i suppose.@@coldfusionenergy2477
Just bought a 2019 gts 4. Best car of 70+ I've owned.
i love how calm you are talking about such an BEAST! love the respect for engeniring
The previous 991 GTS is 👑
Look who I found!
this car is the best drivers cars in my opinion. it can also be used as a day to day commute.
That might just be the most beautiful color I've seen on a car. Ever.
Evan Hasson liquid battleship gray?
Cobalt Blue Metallic
Ooops, it's actually called Graphite Blue Metallic.
this is not graphite blue. its most probably PTS slate grey Y97
Its actually liquid nitro sulphide helio carbon grey metallic gloss
Background music/noise is too loud!
I find it a bit hard to hear what he is saying, wish his audio was just a tad louder than the music and ambient sound... just a little
Can anyone please tell me the name of the opening song of this video ? It’s so beautiful but I can’t shazam its name.
Tried to find it no luck
Lots of descriptives, but your driving it like you were going to pick up your pension cheque... Let it scream a little will you...?
Terry Forth he ain’t Chris Harris
The Mclaren 570 starts at $187.300 but the 911 gts at $119.000 so not comparable... the 911 turbo would be comparable against the 570.
Glad Matt at least references in passing the turbo economy or lack thereof. Downsized turbo engines might be more efficient on a test bed at light cruise but in the real world, and certainly in a 911 when the car's driven as intended, they are no more efficient than NA.
Its more about emissions/Engine CC than actual fuel economy. Turbocharged engine’s tend to extract more energy from the fuel, lowering the waste byproducts whilst allowing for smaller displacement and not compromising power figures. Also torque is a nice bonus.
Off topic here, but where are you sourcing the music from?
is this a music video or a car review? i kept changing my surround sound and just could not hear the reviewer or the car properly :-(
Should you get it with the leather/alcantara package or the natural leather plus the air cooled seats??? Can't decide. What's your opinion?
I got the cool seats...and Alcantara sucks!
only for steering wheels
Matt Prior be like: i'd have a 991.2 GTS over a Koenigsegg
that would actually be more convincing than r8 v10 or 570s if you have to use the car daily
Koenigsegg isnt very reliable
who wouldn't ?
Koenigsegg is ugly as sin
Its servicable and reliable. It can be driven
everyday
So would i
You guys really need to sort out your audio mixing, I thought my audio system was broken due to the dialog being so quiet.
Would take a RWD manual if I couldn't get my hands on a GT2. A Carrera 2 GTS manual would be the next best option, would rather it than a GT3 RS or 911R.
I would love to have it with a manual. Anyone knows the name of the music?
Holy crap, beautiful footage - but with that much ambience music in the sound it was hard to hear it all. Was running this over wall mounted speakers and sound direct setting, which usually is good for speech - idk perhaps its just me who had this issue?.
Anyway the GTS looks great.
It was really hard to understand. I only got 50% with ear buds.
Really nice review, also nice choice of music... keep up the good work !
I really can't hear any engine sound. Not sure it is because the loud background music, or the turbocharger.
This one not turbocharged
it's simply the best 911 .
Amazing….how the hell did you manage to get a sunny January day in Wales ?
Really loved the videography in this - it upped the game.
is the interior noise loud and so the editor has to raise the volume of the music to drown it out
I would like to know if this color is graphite blue metallic or pts slate grey?
what cameras were used in the first 25 seconds ?
Did they run out of paint at the factory and had to let it go with only the primer on?
Lol I mean I'm sure it's amazing but I wouldn't take it over a 570s, let's not get carried away there bud.
dandrixxx They arent even in the same price range you could get a Turbo S for the same price so I would go Turbo S over 570
The only reasons you couldn't live with a 570S everyday are depreciation, fair enough, or the fact that you need back seats (in which case you'd have probably settled for an M6 and not a 911 GTS). Other than that it seems to be pretty docile.
dandrixxx What are you talking about? You can daily the 570s, it's McLaren tamest, most docile car, it's not the 675lt or something.
armoredpie he compared to the 570s, I didn't randomly bring it up. I'm trying to say they aren't really comparable, the 570s is overall the better car imo.
I daily drove my mclaren mp4 as a true daily for over 6 month in Florida (easy to do with the roads and weather )
570 makes the turbo s and GTS feel like ordinary cars while still being comfy and DD friendly
depreciation won't be as harsh now that the brand is in its stride... turbo s at 220k is insanity, you'll lose more than 570s on that
Porsche are on quite a roll recently and we should all be happy.
Well done, Matt, great vid. Where did you film?
which song was used? good
What color is that? Grey black? Slate grey?
was it filmed in Snowdonia ?
Is the exterior color agate grey metallic?
What is the color of this GTS called. It looks like a PTS color... slate grey?
Totally agree, music MUCH too loud
Beautiful car. And that paint color.....my gosh, I love it.
Which G shock watch that he used?
3:32 those swirl marks kill me nice car with swirls
@autocar which would you rather have? RWD with a manual or the 4WD with a PDK?
Thanks.
Either the music is to loud or your voice isn't loud enough. You're still having that problem. Good review all the same.
What is the music good for?
North Wales looking as awesome as ever, B4391 and surrounding roads are glorious. Porsche is to, great colour as well
I used to live there and enjoyed it.
Music song list please?
Why are car videos always spoiled by unnecessary editing with music? The music is fighting the comments and the sound of the engine.
in investment point gts is special edition and after time price will go up! for sure.....570s ...its faster no dout about that but it will not go up....as i see the 12c price drop a lot...really a lot....you can check both cars prices in sellcarsites
beautiful road - where in Wales was this filmed?
Jim Misiak it's the B4391 near Ffestiniog, amazing road
Really nice car, for me 2wd none sunroof version and that colour is very cool and subtle
Matt Prior likes his Porsches as does Chris Harris, Matt Saunders likes his McLarens. We all have a favourite, but one thing is for sure you cannot compare a 570S with a Porsche 911 GTS. Remember 570S faster than the 911 Turbo S. I have a 540C sitting outside right now and drove it back to back with a GT3RS a week ago. Probably faster though RS some piece of work!
570S is not faster than a turbo S lol
Is this video for car buffs or musak buffs?
What's the genre of the background music?
That color is fucking sick.
I just imagined I bought a coupe, manual, rear wheel drive. That convertible is wonky and wobbley when transitioning.
What is that music???
What colour is this car? I looked on Porsche and don't seem to see it
So the difference between s ang gts is bit more power and 10 mm lower suspension.
What color is that? Slate Grey?
Great car Silly background music too loud
Loving the color, too...Anybody know what it is? It doesn't look like Agate Grey...so what is it?? Custom, maybe?
John Marsh graphite blue metallic
My new favorite color. Thanks!
what colour is it ?
Really got to do a launch and get on it a bit more. I mean really we barely heard the car.. I can read the spec's on Porsche's website..
Anyone know which roads in Wales these are?
wow wow wow, we abouts in Wales was this shot!!! looks like amazing roads.
Why music in the background at all?
Proper evaluation for a Camry.
If James Bond did this blog “...Shport exhaust” 😂
Sorry, Matt but the thumbnail totally looks like Heisenberg's behind the wheel 😉 I know you don't look like him up close but...
Needs a 6 speed manual option.
not enough people actually buy it.
It has it.
I know the audio was a bit off in the video but he said that you can have it with a manual.
Thanks for letting me know, I love a manual.
nope, it has 7 speed manual
Diagnose choice profile balance beautiful cope line.
is it 4 seater?
Does anyone know the colour of this car? Thanks
This spec is SO DAMN SEXY
I'm in love with this colour and black Turbo S wheels
the car exhaust system can 5 improved, after market is a great option.
I have a 2017 carrera 4 and I love it.
the pdk, sports mode, chrono, is fantastic. I believe you own one to understand the greatness of these vehicles.

Black wheels look douchey.
Music is indeed at least twice the volume it should be. Dude,.... tell the tech guy please mix and listen and remix.
nice intro music what is it?
Beautiful landscape!
Is it drift-able?
Got the sound mix very wrong, music louder than the commentary!
Nice review
What road is he driving on?
the background music ruined the video
And of course an easy, reliable 200+ hp on the table with some minor software tuning and bolt on parts
