Can't say enough about all the 992s analog center mounted tachometer. It's absolutely brilliant, with the digital display screens on each side, I believe it to be the perfect instrument cluster.
@@verhu010 those are true art pieces but a porsche targa is also a looker in its own right. Yes a chiron is super sexy a pagani and so on but its multi millions. You expect that for those cars. This is a real looker in its own way. Its beauty
If I was in the market for a daily driver Porsche I would most likely go for a Targa 4 GTS. The car also sounds quite nice and not too loud where on long drives it would start to wear on you like a GT3's sound would.
Nice review Raz. The -10mm PASM helper suspension set-up is only available on the GTS coupe and cabriolet, not as you state here on the Targa GTS. The Targa GTS only available with the standard PASM (no helper springs). Look at each model on the configurator, and you can see that this (no cost) option is missing on the Targa GTS only.
Gosh I must have watched the roof go back at least 10 times. This is such a beautiful car...just when you think a Porsche can't get any better....it gets better.
The way you drive is the best of any reviewer for demonstrating on screen what the drive is actually going to be like. I have a GTS and imo the best all round compromise is coupe with a pan roof.
I am missing any information about how it feels to be driven with roof down?? Especially in comparism to the cabriolet… Wind noises etc… C‘mon it‘s a TARGA , people want to know these kind of things :) Good video besides of that (as always)
Targa = wind bubble. I own this car and it’s noisy even with sunroof wind diffuser upgrade. Something you put up with when you own this caliber of car. If you don’t like it, but the 911 with sun roof or cab.
I've been seeing a bunch of the new Porsche Cayenne GTS' driving around with that spoiler up. I give every one of them a thumbs up for having the new fastest SUV on the block and presumably knowing what they're driving
I daily my 2019 Targa 4 GTS manual. It's a phenomenal car and understand the draw. I also have 200 cell cats that really lets the turbos sing. I only wish it had ceramic brakes to keep the dust down. My GT3 wheels are always pristine.
If you ever get a chance, please compare wind buffeting in the Targa vs. Cabrio when both are open. Some reviewers complain that the Targa, surprisingly enough, has _more_ wind buffeting than the Cabrio, which is unfortunate.
I got my targa in May and the wind buffering is nowhere near as bad as I expected from all the reviews…. It’s not perfect but it’s a very very very small price to pay for such an awesome car
well let me say that in terms of cinematography and editing, this video is a benchmark. It's pure car porn. This is a great video presentation, forget the subject matter even for a moment, this is still like a really good documentary in terms of presentation ( besides the ad at the beginning). This is how it's done, a presenter who happens to cut in the footage of a car video to show him engaging with the car as needed; as opposed to every other single car content maker where they show 1 minute of car footage and 10 minutes of their "cliche - rambling car - reviewer " blurping a script. Well done.
Like your reviews , really would have liked to known what it was actually like to drive with the roof off , if the buffeting at a certain speed is still present in the targa .. only because this would be my spec and was gutted you drove it with the roof up . Hopefully you re do it in the uk roads but with roof down and gts spec to see if better than cab
I don’t understand why people complain about GPF filter. Every car brand stock exhaust is always worse than aftermarket exhaust... Even Ferrari sounds bad stock compared to an aftermarket exhaust… Just install an armytrix akraprovic and so. And sound is 10x better always every single time
What a car the 911 is in any variant in my opinion the nicest sports car all around in the world I would take it over most super cars. Excellent review as always Raz.
Brilliant, as usual. May I suggest you use a Laser Pointer to point to the different parts of the car while describing them? It helps you to avoid defocusing your camera cause of moving your hand/finger in front of the lens. Be happy.
Thank you for a great review! We have the 991.2 Targa 4 GTS but I just can't justify going to the new 992 due to the sound of the engine... I am terrified that I will regret it if we get the new one... It looks stunning tho!!!
I think that in that sense, a Targa 4 GTS is a beautiful package in terms of daily-ability, a perfect engineering blend of the coupe and the comfortable cab, aside from that, i would go for the coupe.
The Porsche Reliability Rating is 2.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 32nd out of 32 for all car brands. This rating is based on an average across 345 unique models. The average annual repair cost for a Porsche is $1,192, which means it has below average ownership costs. The other factors that contribute to Porsche reliability include an average of 0.8 visits to a repair shop per year and a 21% probability of a repair being severe.
Too heavy and the targa is horrible loud on speeds above 60mph if u drive top down because the wind hits the targa bar and it’s just to noisy around the head. Sold my 991.2 gts Targa for a 991.2 turbo Cabrio.
Raz…not sure on the overhead shots with massive distortion but I like the car…but still I would go for a GT3 Touring or a Turbo S…. I just think the 911 looks best as a coupe. Well done again..that camera?…not sure yet!
Very nice but it's not different enough for me to upgrade from the 991.2 Targa 4 GTS. If Porsche comes up with a version with a naturally aspirated 4.0 engine (does it make sense? does it matter...?) I'll immediately sign up and get one with a manual gearbox.
Now learn to drive without it without shuffle steering or releasing the wheel completely s it unwinds in your hands. A few track days and you'll understand.
I used to love Porsche. I feel like In the last few years, it’s lost some of its soul. It feels like the default sports car in the same way Lamborghini feels like the default super car. A great car make no mistake, probably the greatest. But not very emotional I guess? I have a 2015 Cayman, it was a great car, but to be honest I dont really miss it.
Not necessarily at targa specific ask but it would appreciate a full eval leading mobile mount option in the 992. (The center console and Apple CarPlay simply isn’t practical alone IMO for a variety of reasons)
the Targa is my jam....how did you do the top view without the mounting pole visible?...great video...going to watch the Heritage Targa video again...👍
As an owner of a 991.2 Targa, this video tempts so much try to get a 992 Targa but the dealership told me 18 months to get a PTS Targa :/. Plus a part of me thinks the 991 design is more elegant than the 992, especially in the interior design. Also would love to see a 992 Turbo Targa.
Great review Raz. Just have one question about 992 gts. Could you please tell some your feeling about sport pasm and pasm as they are two options for the gts? Also, it seems that the ride height are the same on 992 gts pasm sport or pasm. Is that right?
Great Video , But can you tell me if the Targa Gts feels any different in the handling as the Targa does not get the same suspension and helper spring like the coupe and cab, Just interested if it does ride any different to a targe 4S? May thanks
Great vid Raz. I have to say though, I much prefer the interior induction noise of the exhaust/engine sound of your reviews. Like you did with the GTS CoupeI. It makes one feel part of the experience
Same thing. 911 is the model and Carrera is the variant. From there you have the Carrera S, Carrera 4s, Targa, GTS, GT3, Turbo, Turbo S, and so on. Lots of flavors.
What more could you want? How about hard top Targa? I don't like the rag top. I would think with little more effort, Porsche Engineers can come up with an Hard top.

Tbh I don’t think I really get the 911 GTS. In the Cayenne/Panamera lineup I think it’s the absolute sweetspot due to the thunderous V8 but in the 911, not really. It just seems too close to the S and too far from the Turbo. Who would really go for the GTS and not the S for just 30 hp and some improved dynamics? I would go for the Turbo which is blisteringsly fast and surprisingly not that much more expensive than the GTS
Can't say enough about all the 992s analog center mounted tachometer. It's absolutely brilliant, with the digital display screens on each side, I believe it to be the perfect instrument cluster.

Best 911 currently. But different colour please...
Not trolling but it seems the GTS does not have the Turbo chassis. GTS Coupe and convertible do.
What’s the link for the selfie stick and tri pod on the car
Can you get the GTS w/ 7 speed? If yes, this is my ultimate Porsche
Why didn't you drive it at least at some parts of this beautiful road full power? Would have loved to see that.

Like? Love it, Raz., awesome review.

Raz, manual or PDK Targa 4 GTS for daily?
I know they're not meant to be compared, but the 991 911 speedster has ruined every other type of targa or drop top Porsche for me. (Except the 918)
Soft, soft, soft
Was looking to get a targa but i think porsche prices are taking the piss tbh they at least £30k too much

Is Targa 4 GTS the Targa version of Carrera GTS ?
Tbh I don’t think I really get the 911 GTS. In the Cayenne/Panamera lineup I think it’s the absolute sweetspot due to the thunderous V8 but in the 911, not really. It just seems too close to the S and too far from the Turbo. Who would really go for the GTS and not the S for just 30 hp and some improved dynamics? I would go for the Turbo which is blisteringsly fast and surprisingly not that much more expensive than the GTS
That makes no sense - the Turbo costs $50K more for just 75 more hp. After you tune the GTS you can easily get over 500HP
Targa looks better and sounds better and u get a convertabile. The turbo s sounds like a vacuum cleaner
.........a convertible personally.
I don't like it simply due to the top being material and not a true hard top! otherwise I would want one!
Porsche can figure it out im sure!
Any car costing $200,000 will be great
Beautiful, manual a must.
The 1996 Targa was the best one. These new ones might as well be convertibles.
Is 911 Carrera Targa 4 GTS the longest 911 name you can get?
There is no Carrera in the name, it’s replaced by Targa. So 992 Targa 4 GTS
