Re: Porsche 991.2 Carrera S (Facelift) - Short Driving Report
m4ever:Great review RC, thank you for taking the time to share it with us. The 991.2 is a very smart car . Will deliver Turbo like experience to a much wider customer base which will also enjoy the everyday benefits of low end torque.
RC- are you tempted?
Yes and no. Nothing beats the sound of my GTS and I kind of like the n/a engine and the revving behavior. What tempted me is the 911 Turbo feel, it reminded me of my former 991 Turbo S and how much I would have loved to keep it but the engine/exhaust sound bored the hell out of me. With the 991.2 Carrera S PSE sound, I would have never given away my Turbo S. Never. So yes, I am tempted but I guess for the wrong reasons. I will have to listen to the facelifted 991 Turbo S, I haven't heard it yet but a friend told me that not much has changed, however if this car would have a similar sound to the new Carrera S (something I highly doubt), I would be tempted to get a 991 Turbo S Cabriolet.
Nah...I think I am going to stick with my GTS for now and see how the next 911 Turbo S generation will be. The VTG chargers will go as far as I heard, so there is a chance of a proper sound improvement but with the new upcoming EU noise limitations laws, maybe not.
Right now, I have a used Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or a used R8 V10 Plus on my radar, so...
