I have a Panamera Turbo and have been considering getting a 991 turbo as a weekend/special car.

Would it scratch the itch or do I need to look elsewhere? Would having a panamera turbo and a 911 turbo be duplicative?

The only downside to the 991.1 TTS is that the shift pattern on the PDK is backwards for unshifting and downshifting.

Totally different driving experiences.

I’m pretty sure Cobb’s “PDK tune” can flip that now.

My perfect car would be a GT3 with backseats. Of course that’s never going to happen and I don’t think there’s a way to retrofit. In lieu of that happening I’m looking at the next best thing.

991.1 GTS. Pros = great sound, availability of switchable exhaust, slightly cheaper, last NA, manual trans option
Cons = mostly an option package, not as legendary as the TT, lack of torque

991.1 TTS Pros = Flagship car, Power, AWD, Luxurious
Cons = noise, weight

I have a Z06/Z07 that I track so this would just see street duty. I drive a lot for work and would enjoy having something that’s a great daily. I also have a truck for snow days.
Hello Corvette brother. Get the tts, you got a track car, the tts is bada$$ and you can really make it fast with tuning and some bolt ons
I have some of each

I have a 991.2 GT3 MT. And you’re right, it’s nowhere near as drivable as the Carreras. I find myself choosing my Carrera T most of the time when going on a drive.

Thanks for the great replies. It’s clear that a guy needs both a NA and Turbo 911 as well as one PDK and a manual. My wife would be less than thrilled about this conclusion.

This is a good combination!
