992 S versus 991.2 GTS

I just picked up a new 991.2 GTS. I love the car !
I do like the interior on the 992 minus the PDK “****”. The larger screen and digital dash is sexy.
I also like the new rear... may be the minority here.
With that being said I am truly happy with my GTS. May trade it when a 992 GTS is announced and available. I’ve got a few years I suspect for that.
Cheers.

Model for model, the 992 is a genuine performance upgrade over the 991.2.
But from a 991.2 GTS or from an S/X51, trading "up" to the 992 S is not performance enhancing, unless Porsche offers an X51 PowerKit for the 992 S.
I say this, based on the Porsche factory Nordschleife "Ring" lap times for production cars. The 992 GTS should be seriously faster than any 991.2 GTS, S/X51, or 992 S.

I buy a sports car on what it looks like first and as I have said I waited until I saw the 992 before I got an allocation for a 991.2 GTS since I liked the latter better. They are both fast enough cars for me and the more I see the 992 the more I am glad I did what I did.

Going to see the 992 in person later this month, but I really have low expectations. I fear the MT gear lever is going to look massively out of place.
