I hope they'd bring the new, relatively inexpensive, all blacked out PDLS front lights from GT3T available for the GTS. With all the other black accents, it would make perfect sense and look mean above all. But I doubt it...unfortunately. Likely the only way to get the dark lights for the GTS is to spec the ridiculously expensive Matrix lights. While I love their looks and all the added functionalities in use, the price is just getting to outrageous levels with the tint (and a local car tax that almost doubles the cost). 9k$ for mere front lights is just beyond me..

Unbelievable. THIS is the 992 to get. Check out the video, the sound is ALMOST as good as the 991.1, perhaps even better at times if one tapers the nostalgia.
138K? That's a steal. Most S-models will encroach this, AND you get 30 more HP and torque, better brakes, and a bespoke suspension derived from the Turbo, yet unique to the GTS.

No. The one to get is a TT/TTS if you want back seats, or a GT3 (winged or non-winged depending on your tastes) if you don't.

You don't understand. The Turbo is much heavier and faster, a different beast altogether. This maybe the lightest and best performing daily-friendly Carrera!

Also what if you want a moonroof, ventilated seats and a little more low-end torque? It’s gonna be great!

I'll need to wait for the configurator to be up and running for the GTS before I come to any conclusions. From the announcement, it really does sound an awful lot like a C2 Option Package that is a combination of C2 Option Packages with a slight boost in maximum Boost Pressure. Let me drop the Alcantra Steering Wheel and give me back the 18 Way seats with a Leather interior and "maybe" I could become interested. It sort of seems like the "S" in GTS stands for a "Saturday and Sunday" only car. Not a DD.

I like the look at the back, without the stupid shark fins coloured. Overall a good package, as always. But will not wait another 6 months to put my hands on one - this without considering possible ADM

The wheel seems to be diamond cut like the TTS, unlike the all matte black with previous gens of the GTS. Seems to be the only surprise this time.

Great value as always, but the Porsche didn't try to bring something new...
