Obviously. Porsche paid for them to go to Europe and drive 911s. They have their talking points. Gotta keep good relationships for the next car review.

Looks like sound and brake pedal feel on the road are the only real cons in terms of the driving experience. Thrilled to see that the hybrid system actually works as conceptualized!

If this car as good as every review is, it may have a significant impact on last gen pdk gts and turbo.

Car seems very impressive if you are fine with PDK. I can't say I love the new styling or interior changes though. The meters in the tach showing the activity of the hybrid system are kind of neat I suppose.

The fact that sound gets pumped in annoys me so much. This is extreme but I’d rather have the car be silent than some fake noise coming through (hence why I also hate all the stupid EV sounds that have been “developed” in recent years…).

From what I’m gathering the GTS is getting a wow while the base is getting a meh. In other words if you have a 992.1 base then no reason to upgrade and the GTS is next gen step up.

I think the “fake” part needs to be confirmed. If it is the tube allowing intake sounds, that’s fine IMO as it *is* engine sound. If it is through the speakers though, that would be a shame.

As it should. They are last gen cars. The new Turbo is going to be the monster of monsters.

Ive watched quite a few reviews now and I havent seen a single one for a base outside of a few off hand comments. Looks like the base reviews will come in the following days , so im not sure how you have inferred a "meh" yet from any of the reviews.
