Porsche 911 Targa GTS (992) Review - London To Switzerland Roadtrip! 🇨🇭
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- I review the Porsche 911 992 Targa GTS by taking it from London to Switzerland. The Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS is a brilliant car. It runs a 3.0 Twin turbo flat 6 engine producing 480 BHP. It will do 0-62 in 3.5 seconds and 191 mph. The car not only looks great but feels great. the 10 mm lower helper springs keep it planted around the corners along with the 20 and 21 inch wheels 11.5j rears which put all the power down with its 4 wheel drive system. The GTS product is brilliant but what is it like in Targa form? The roof dance is exceptional and hypnotizing. I took the car through switzerland and explored some of the stunning views it had to offer. I hope you enjoy this review of the porsche 911 992 targa 4 gts!

I do this trip every year, done it in my McLaren, 981 spyder, 986 boxster and a plain audi. Interlaken and the surrounding valleys are amazing. Can't believe you didn't do the Furka, Susten and Grimsel passes, 2.5 hour loop from Interlaken and back and 3 of the best and most iconic passes in the alps. Still a reason to go back. 👍🏻 ps next time you travel through France leave the autoroute just south of troyes and take the D996 to Dijon, an unbelievably great road and welcome diversion. And you don't lose any time.
I did want to but they were closed!
@@StefABtv of course its winter! Shame but you must go back, so much to do around there. :-)
Which was the best car? What about snap oversteer with the Boxsters?
Dear Paul seems like you know the road of Europ very well 👌🏼 I am getting my 992 in the next couple of months in aventurine green I am super excited. I want to take the car to europ and need advice on road trip where to go etc can you please guide me? Do you have a planned road trip you can share if its not too much to ask. Cheers pal :)
@@natiazar5933 congratulations on the new car, awesome colour! Depends what you want put of your trip? Scenery, outdoor activities or just some fast driving and fast food?
Switzerland is a beautiful country. Thanks for taking us up there Stef! As always suburb review.
Thank you!
Just a note, the 992 Targa GTS isn’t lowered on the sport suspension like the coupe and cabrio models. The Targa GTS uses the 4S suspension. That’s why it’s more comfortable than you might expect.
This is one of my bucket list roadtrips in one of my bucket list cars. Brilliant video, well done.
Thank you!
Great video. I will be driving these roads in 2 months. Can’t wait.
Have fun!
Man... your travel/car videos are so good, Stef! I actually forget it's about the car sometimes.
I visited this area a long time ago, went into the mountain with the waterfall. Can't remember the name. Great memories.
Nice work! Highly entertaining 🙂👍
Great comment. I agree with you. I regularly drive a 992 4GTS coupé with a glass and sunroof. A super daily and sports car, even pottering around town or passing at a slow pace through villages. The 911 is a wonderful car which has become a classic for good reason, as it’s 60th birthday demonstrates. And yes, Switzerland has some of the very finest sceneries and landscapes one could wish. I well understand and share your enthusiasm.
Thanks for watching! The GTS is a fantastic car 🙌
The most beautiful car review show I have ever seen
Thank you so much
Hi Stef. Your uploads go from strength to strength mate !!!!!!!!!!!! bloody awesome 💥💥
What a video! Lauterbrunnen is also one of the most incredible places I have visited. Switzerland and Porsches! What's not to like...
Thanks!!
You perfectly blended a car review with a trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world which helps us dream of not only owning a beautiful car like this but creating life experiences as a result. I have a Ferrari 812 and Lamborghini Hurrican Evo Spyder but there is something about the Targa GTS that is making me pause and think....hmmm, maybe one Targa GTS is all I need...
beautiful and great car. no doubt about it, the 992 platform is one of, if not the best out there, but I enjoyed watching this so much just because of the surroundings and amazing views!
All this "it's one of the best... blah blah blah" is so fucking boring and totally nonsense, because everybody knows, you just can't beat the Porsche 911 concept!
The Porsche 911 model range is totally flawless and unprecedented in this industry, and other sports carmakers just can't compete with the amount of versions and versatility of the Porsche 911!
In just some months, there will be even a "Porsche 911 Dakar" off road going version.
Absolutely love this style of content! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Trip looked awesome mate!
911's are just the perfect cars! Got the speed, the handling, the looks & then the daily capability too
Yeah it was the perfect car for this trip! Get your GT4 out there!
@@StefABtv on the bucket list. Will leave the mrs at home... think she'd get a bit car sick from my jerky clutch lifts 😂
U seen the video of the internals of this thing? I just got my new 911s 992?
It’s like a jet engine on wheels.
I managed to get to 60mph in 2.9 seconds with launch control yesterday. What a machine!
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing!
Knocked it out the ballpark with this upload mate💥💥
Thank you mate 🙌🙌
Great video fella , just one thing mentioned about the Gts suspension/ helper springs ! Unfortunately the Targa is the only one in the range that doesn’t have this nor can you spec it. The targa Gts carry’s the Targa 4S suspension.
I unfortunately found this out when trying to spec the -10mm spasm suspension.
Mine should be here soon and I’ve ordered the same colour 👍👍👍
Yeah I was corrected it’s just on the non targa variables. Thanks 🙌🙌🙌
@@StefABtv keep up the great videos 👍👍
Btw , was it still dynamic with this suspension?
GT silver is sublime ✌🏻
Excellent production, I'm jealous - Targa 4 GTS and Interlaken - sheesh !
Thank you!! 🙌🙌
Great watch as always
Cheers dude! 🙌❤️
Great review, amazing scenery. An incredible part of the world, the Eiger is mega too! 👌🙏
Thank you! 🙌🙌
Really enjoyed this 👌👍. Informative and fun
Thank you!
What a fantastic video. I appreciate how long this must of took to put together. Very enjoyable watch.
Thank you so much
Which was better: Bernese Oberland part of Switzerland or that beautiful car?
Thanks for showing us both, a perfect balance.
Thanks for sharing Stef that was great👍🇦🇺
Thanks!
Great video as always Stef but if there was a Porsche in this video Fecked if I saw one I was too busy looking at that Switzerland scenery 🤭😜😀
But seriously great quality footage as ever .
Thank you!! :)
This is a great video and brilliantly edited- well done mate!
Thank you!
Stef, the car and the scenery is amazing, lucky you 😀😃. Hope life is treating you well 😎
Thank you! Yep all good here!! 🙌🙌
Lovely looking Porsche, not keen on those big black patches in front of the back wheels! Would look so much better in body colour….in my opinion!👍
Gorgeous car! Safe travels Stef.
Fabulously executed, well done Stef!
Thank you dude!
The Targa doesnt have the 10mm lowering like coupe and cabrio. It has the chassis of the S models.
Great car and amazing scenery in Swiss Alps 👌
Super video love the car and breathtaking views 🇨🇭
Thank you!!!
Great video and amazing place to visit brought back great memories 👍👍
Thank you!
Superb review. Thank you Stef
Thank you!!
Of course I have enjoyed the video!
Thanks!
great review...love the video insert
Great edit bud, makes me wanna do another Euro Trip ASAP! 😎🤗
Cheers dude! Road trips are the best
Great video, Stef. Outstanding car. But ...stop saying ..."absolutely incredible".
Thanks!
Awesome machinery 😍 Beautiful scenery, great video Stef 😎 Thank you 🙏 IMO the GTS is THE 911 (or 718) to get for daily use and maximum smiles per gallon 😁💯❤️ .... in my garage one day 😏
Thanks buddy!!!
Very nice video from the car and travelling combination 👌
Thank you 🙌🙌
Hi Stef, a great review on the GTS and excellent cinematics. whats the wind noise like with the roof up?
You don’t notice it at all with the roof closed.
@@StefABtv...and you said it all.
I have a 991.2 gt3 for last couple of years and tempted by the GTS targa as love the looks and sounds like the drive now matches the look. Just worried about weight and the blustering people talk about when the roof is open.
I’ve heard the blistering is only when the roof and windows are down together. When the windows are up with roof down it’s ok 👌
I enjoyed watching the great video. I especially enjoyed admiring the scenery.
What's the black sticker on the bottom of the 911 side? I didn't see it in Porsche making.
Targa 4 GTS
I come from Brienz. Nice Video! 👍❤️ Thanks!
Amazing place!
Hotel balcony view over the lake looked incredible. What is the name of the hotel?
Dorint beatenberg/interlaken
Highest point in Europe?!? It's Monte Bianco, 4808 m! Cheers from Italy
Hi Stef - Great video, as always! Can you tell us please why you prefer the GTS Coupe over this Targa? Is it just cash (for which the trade-off vs. the open top is at least a clear equation) or something else? Many thanks and greetings from Canada!
Hey, it’s a personal preference. Personally I prefer the hard top cars. The targa is stunning but prefer the look of a clean hard top
Stef - Understood! I have a GTS Targa on order complete with a manual tranny. Many thanks again!
@@shuaibshariff2797 Good choice. 991.2 Targa GTS. On nice days, those "hard-toppers" will secretly wish they had your car, & you know they won't be driving with the windows down. YOU will always have the option however. It also looks better; you'll get more compliments; & more attention - especially if you engage the roof mechanism at an intersection/red light with other cars around. (Just make sure you can do it in the 19 seconds).😁
Great video!
Thank you 🙏
The turbo flat six has been mastered now , sounds great at stock. Is it better handling than the S, im not sure
Rocking a Ringo Star look today...
🙌
I love a road trip video :). Was the gts too powerful for the Swiss roads?/
I wouldn’t say so, couldn’t get 100% out of it on the roads but then you can’t really do that in most high power cars.
Wait what? Do I get it right that around 1700 he says he would have preferred a different car? haha what a review
wow that thing is fukn perfect
i can't believe you drive without sunglasses, seems so dangerous
The Targa does not come with the extra -10mm lower suspension mate
Yeah got that wrong it’s just the hard top gts that does
Targa GTS doesn’t come with helper springs.
The Targa GTS doesn't have rear helper springs or the -10mm SPASM chassis.
I really enjoyed this. If I was ever going to do an European delivery, this is definitely a trip I want to take as well.
Thanks!
3.5 seconds to 62mph sounds impressive tho Porsche allways lies about the preformance. As soon as you test that figure the car will beat that time. I have seen Porsches beat claimed times by up to 4 tenths of a second to 62.
Could of done a targa T top with glass panels then can see through .
The Targa has no 10mm lowering and also no helpersprings …
You should have done this in 4C
I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much. 4C is great for a spirited drive. Not for a long distance roadtrip
Did you fall asleep on the way down from the jungfrau? Most people do.
I didn’t actually. I was tired though!
deutsche Wertarbeit und der beste Sportwagen der welt 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪😊
Excellent video 📹
Transformer 🤖 👾
Take the roof roof off every morning,
Be a hero to your neighbours.
Thank you!
Why are you saying this is the top of Europe? It’s nowhere near the highest point. Do you mean the highest point reachable by car?
Reachable by train. Highest train station in Europe 🙌
Nice Video but its not the highest point of Europe
Thanks
Targa does not have Pasm sport suspension and helper spring.
The GTS does
@@StefABtv yes, coupe and cabriolet have. Targa has the PASM (no sport) because of the extra weight.
Ah fair shout. Thanks!
You'll have to explain why that the Swiss consider _Jungfrau_ to be the top of Europe, when clearly, it's NOT. Or have the Swiss erased Mont Blanc at 15,771 ft / 4,807 m, from their history books as BLM are doing with British, white history? 🤔😲🤫
That aside. Love the 911 Targa GTS. Not much more I can say on this gorgeous piece of engineering excellence 8-))...
Yep the targa is lovely especially in GTS form!
ya could have washed it before ya took it back lol
How did your wife like the top down experience as a passenger?
She loved it
He sounds like another RUclips porsche salesman
If you say so
@@StefABtv He basically hates Porsche and any youtuber who reviews them. He had 2 accounts banned I'm not wrong. He spams this on every video almost.
All that huffing and puffing when a Tesla does it sooooo much better .. Never mind I guess we all make mistakes.. 🤣
👍🏻
You don't know a good sounding engine😅
