If you translate the site you can see what yours would look like. It still says you can’t get it shipped anywhere other than Germany. Maybe yours is a good sign that they are changing it.

I looked into if for my car in 2022 I think you can make it happen, by using a mail forwarding place in Germany, but hadn’t tried it yet. Still fun to enter your vin and see the car. I still kind of want to do it.

You can save the photos to your phone if you enter your vin.


This is my car, it’s easy enough that you can do it without translation, unless you are getting to the shipping / buying.
Were you able to download them or take a screenshot?

Please describe the differences. Specifically related to drive feel. Handling, acceleration, cornering.

Many thanks for your questions. I will come back within a couple of weeks. I have driven the 4S (YM 2021) about 26 000 miles and the GTS (YM2023) 50 miles.

First impressions are GTS is a significant "better" car in terms of quality of material, performance and exhaust sound.

Regarding the quality it can be that Porsche improved YM2023 compared with YM2021.

GTS sport exhaust “off” is equal to 4S sport exhaust “on” on highway driving.

Would greatly appreciate examples of the “quality of material” differences. I’m trying to decide between S and GTS.

Default Which Interior did you go with on the AG GTS?

She's a beauty! Love the AG color with the black wheels.... Question, do you have the GTS interior package? If so, please describe how it feels and looks. I have a 4GTS Cab coming in Agate grey in 13 days. I ordered the GTS interior. But I was at a cars and coffee last week and saw a Targa GTS with full leather interior, and it looked so classy and high end. I'm beginning to worry that the alcantara/race tex may look a bit cheap compared to luxurious leather. If anyone else has any experience with the GTS interior package please chime in as well. Enjoy this beauty of a car! And please post differences between the S and GTS when you can. I'm also very interested to hear the differences!

imho, the GTS interior and light weight package are intended for the track. If you are looking for luxury and comfort go with the S. Less noise, more compliant suspension. And select full leather. Your back will feel the difference (mine does). The objective of Race Tex is to keep you in place in your seat, not to look or feel luxurious.

I know this will generate a lot of hate responses. But I’m just stating the facts. GTS is to S what T is to base. A car meant to be used at the track. And don’t get me started on GT3s and GT3RSs.

I have the GTS package in red and definitely it doesn't look cheap at all, get it if you are looking for a sporty look&feel.
I bought a GTS because I wanted a sportier version of the 992 usable as a daily car and for 5/6 track days per year. All the bits of the GTS ticketed the box for what I wanted and to be honest I was not interested in the extra power (so far totally useless on public roads, I ended up at crazy speed of 285km/h before realizing it). Racetex, the black trim details, black lights, SPASM -10mm, bigger brakes, the matte side skirts are part of what a GTS stands for me. I find it just a bit more special vs. the S which with the options I wanted, was just a 5% less expensive.
Should one day decide to buy a Targa (it might well happen, it is a gorgeous car!) I would go for a more refined and elegant speced (full leather, deviated stitching etc...), definitely not for a Targa GTS.
Porsche is second to none to give its customer the possibility to build his own dream car so what I suggest to anybody asking an advice on option is to choose it based on what kind of look&feel you are looking from your car (classy, sporty, elegant, subtle, loud etc...) and dive into a world of opportunities. We are all lucky we can afford to spend time this way
