    The .2 always seems to be better. Why can’t they get it right the first time, like they did with the Carrera GT and 996 RS?

    That's not always the case IMO. 997.1 ages more gracefully than 997.2, imo.

    Disagree here as well. I like the 997.1, but the 997.2 just looks a tad more modern to me, which fits the desing better IMO. Smiley

    Absolutely agree. Smiley

    992.2 Turbo S is supposed to get a mild hybrid, I'd expect a system power of close to 700 hp and in the 0-100 kph department, this car is supposed to hit 2.5 seconds flat, which would be sensational for a road car with normal road tires.

    Still...if you want the newest and latest, the 992.1 Turbo S it is...for at least the next two years.

    Re: New 992 Turbo Thread Closed

    Surprised that the Turbo S has the same exhaust design as the carrera (with sport exhaust). Can’t imagine future Turbo owners will like that.

    Yes. I thought the turbo S was going with 4 square setup from some of the spy pictures?  I think they look better

    That would be the standard exhaust.

    Yep, Turbo S will have a sport exhaust (aka rip-off exhaust Smiley) option for the first time.

    The Sports Exhaust I heard on a 2017 Panamera Turbo S sounded not too bad...quite similar to the sound of a 63AMG

    It sounds different, higher pitch, my GLC63 S AMG has a very deep V8 growl (which I absolutely love). Panamera Turbo S sound was similar to  E63 S in tone but quieter, especially in the mid and higher rev range.

    Guys - I think the car looks great, especially in this color combo. But - I had to check it 3 times to see if it is a 991 or 992. Looks so much the same. I was hoping they go a bit more drastic with the Turbo look

    This was initially actually the plan...but I guess they (still) want to market it as the usual "stealth" super car.

    Drive one before you do that!. Also keep in mind that for serious track racing, the Performante may not be the right choice for various reasons (difficult to fit safety items, expensive maintenance and parts, etc.).

    On the other hand, noise is intoxicating, steering is good but not a fan of 4WD chassis reaction. 
    Performante and GT3 are really different product. I can’t see Performante as track ready car. Sorry. 
    closer than regular Huracan but definitely not GT track ready product. I really enjoyed the drive though.

    Do it. RC is correct. Nothing sounds as good!  Simply amazing. Not too bad on the eyes either. Desert first by all means. Especially while the gt3 992 is off in the distance.

    The Performante is track ready but maintenance for track use is way more expensive than for the GT3. Only thing I would add is the Trofeo R tires and I would do some camber adjustments (they usually are OK though). Roll cage and harness are possible (through some specialized companies) but not worth it in my opinion, very expensive as far as I heard. Also not sure it would be 100% street legal. The AWD chassis reaction is as GT3 as you want it to be. Drive in Sport mode instead of Corsa and the rear comes nicely. Also I would play around with tire pressures. Right now I am driving the same pressure on all four tires, this suits my driving style better but Lamborghini actually recommends a bit more pressure in the front tires. The seats are indeed an issue, even the "comfort" seats. My wife cannot sit in them more than one consecutive hour and my son gets some back pain as well. Me and my daughter seem to mind less but yes, the seats are very "hard" and the optional sport seats are barely usable on a daily basis, I would only choose them if you go to the track often. Caution: The sport seats cannot be exchanged with the "comfort" seats, so once you choose one type of seat, you are stuck with it.

    The sound is just out of this world and it is not only the exhaust sound I am talking about. In Corsa mode, the whole car seems to make noises, the gearbox gives those metallic clack sounds, the engine bay "crackles" and there are so many different mechanical noises, it is just amazing. Once you switch to Street again, almost everything disappears, so I guess there is some sort of sound engineering magic somewhere but not artificially done through speakers, thank god. Outside of the car, all hell brakes loose, my son told me that he could hear me over a kilometer away when I accelerated on a nearby country road and it still was loud as hell. Smiley The best part is: It is 100% street legal, the police in Germany already accepts that Lamborghinis are that loud, they don't do anything about it (anymore). You just need to be careful in tight residential areas though since they can fine you for excessive noise.

    This car is a keeper but who knows what the future brings? If fuel costs 5 EUR per liter in 20 years because nobody uses combustion engines anymore Smiley, well...not sure I want to drive the Performante.
