Newsflash. It's faster.

Old news . We know this . It will even rival your Turbo S enough to not be embarrassed in the straight and it beats it at the ring by 1 sec . If speed is the only love metric for this new car then it's a home run hitter .

yrralis what are your thoughts on the new GTS? You’ve been pretty quiet about it.

Trade off...it sounds worse. At least in the video. Digital tach looks like trash, but that could be the possible high ISO recording making it look worse.

A Tesla Plaid is even quicker, too. But much like the GTS, it also doesn't come in a manual. Soooooo many other cars to choose from if you're happy driving an automatic.

Nothing like a sincere and trustworthy analysis. The fact that the factory driver was there is just a coincidence .
I'll wait for Harry's review. He seems not to give 2 ships to criticize products.

I mean I don't think it's a stretch to say the new one is faster. That result is baked in - we all know the new one will be faster. The result here is pretty expected - faster, but not massively so.

I actually think the potential real advantage of the new one may be in feel. I'm curious about responsiveness and tip in - which I think is an area that could be better in the 992.1.

Just have a look at the tyre specs on both cars (992.2 GTS on Goodyear Supersport R and 992.1 GTS just Pirelli P Zero) + the tyre temperatures on the new GTS under this conditions...

Is it just me or does the new car sound a lot deeper, almost like a V8?

10.9 on an unprepped surface is really fast under less than ideal test conditions. Easily 2-3 tenths on the table there and probably 130 trap or very close.

I will play Devil's advocate - if the 992.2 was first and the 992.1 came out later, smaller 3L engine and 60 less HP and ran this close to the "older more complicated car" for waay less money then enthusiasts would say this would be an excellent rendition of the Carrera T concept

ipse dixit

Isn't the embargo on the new 992.2 still in effect?

Good catch. I wonder how much a difference in tenths the difference in rubber made?

Interesting that the PCCBs were upgraded from the 992.1 to the 992.2 (now same as Turbo S). What are the specs of the 992.1 GTS PCCBs for comparison?

LMAO!!
