Driving 1340kms home over two days from the dealer, I realized this is completely different from ANYTHING out there. The LWBS are more comfortable to my body than the 18-w of my previous Taycan. The ride quality is of course more race car than Mercedes’ S-class, but I found even the SPORT suspension setting usable on our B-roads (no transverse joints around here), and the normal setting is absolutely fine for touring long distances. The noise in the cabin is made up from tyre noise and the intake, and with the exhaust in it’s normal setting, completely fine for touring. After half an hour I ditched the BOSE noise canceling head set and just marveled at the mechanical sounds of valves opening and closing produced, the slurping sounds of air being sucked in behind your neck and the incredible tones you could dish out via the positioning of your throttle pedal. It’s like playing an instrument. With the sport exhaust engaged (running in), there’s an annoying drone at moderate throttle levels overwhelming the cabin, so I preferred to Drive with sport exhaust off, since you then better hear what’s happening behind you. With the sport exhaust engaged you have to be on it and push through the 4000rpm drone barrier to get to the sounds you want.

After running in we’ve gotten the full 9000rpm experience and the YouTube videos can’t provide nothing of a he impression you get IRL. It’s just like having AC/DC playing a live concert 1 foot away. As much faster on track and a technological tour de force the new 992GT3RS for sure is, it won’t be anything close to the next level of hooliganism the GT4RS provides. A 992GT3 is just plain boring and very 1-dimensional in comparison.

In summary the GT4RS is very old school without tech that makes it clinically sterile to drive, albeit mated to a magical PDK transmission and the Porsche motorsport engine, making it best of both worlds, just how I like it.

This car is the end of the road as far as ICE cars are concerned.

I definitely will not be taking this GT4 for granted. Its a huge dream and goal of mine.
