I just watched the new Chris Harris review of the Ferrari 488, as I'm sure many of you have. It sure looks like a bad *** looking AND sounding twin turbocharged motor. Why can't the Porsche tt motor sound like this instead of like a Hoover vacuum? Is it something inherent to a flat six vs V8 design. I wonder if Porsche will be able to improve this on the new 911.

991 TT or TTS with the Sharkwerks bypass sounds great to me.

for Sharky!

Pfffffttt. That's not even a driver's car, it's got flappy paddles...

Engine layout.

A V-shaped layout (especially a flat plane one) will always sound different than a flat-six found in the 911s.

I'm with ya, 96Red. Loved the thrust of my TT, but when I went in to replace it with a 991TT and test drove an S with PSE, I realized it wasn't more thrust I wanted -- it was the sound of more thrust!

Better get used to those paddles as the 991.2's will all, and I do mean all will have them.

Are you implying no manuals for 991.2?? Where did you get that information? Doubtful.

He means the old base 997.2/991.1 steering wheel ( with shift rocker buttons on the spokes for PDK ) is finally retired . Same goes for the old 997.2/ 991.1 " Sport Design " one ( with shift requests via " flappy paddles " for PDK ) .

All 991.2 will have only the newer design Macan / 918 - style steering wheel - whether manual tranny or PDK - and come either plain or with optional multifunction controls depending on model .

The requested shifts on the PDK version of this new wheel occurs via " flappy paddles " behind the spokes . Two - way rocker buttons allowing one handed driving / shifting going back 25 yrs with the 964 Tiptronic are finally retired from the 911 series.

I think it sounds pretty good

The 996 GT2 sounded awesome on the track. Like a loud fighter jet, very distinctive
