nberry:At some point in the future we all will be "reduced" to these cars.
If Democrats continue to rule in the US, I am pretty certain about that.

Whoopsy:That car is perfect for RC
Actually, it is.
Rossi is also certainly right, I would add black wheels to the mix.
Unfortunately, the new 991.2 Turbo S doesn't sound a bit better than the old one, so...no thanks.

artur777:991.2 TTS is slower than Audi R8 in terms of acceleration...
what a dissapointment.........................
The Audi has 30 hp more...
Anyway, do not compare the Auto, Motor und Sport times with other car magazines because AutoBILD Sportscars or Auto Zeitung usually achieve better times than AMS for whatever reasons (AMS uses some highly standardized test method, maybe this is the reason...).
Also, I heard that the Turbo S test car did 0-300 kph in around 29 seconds, so the car may not have been fully run in or whatever. Usually, there isn't really a difference between the new R8 and the new TTS.

What is the expected 0-300 time for 991.2 TTS?
and 0-200?
I heard that pre-production test cars did 0-300 kph in under 26 seconds (25.x, something like that). I expect a time of at least 28 seconds or less from 0-300 kph. Maybe AutoBILD will post a 0-300 kph time, they sometimes do.
Most pre-production cars did 0-200 kph in under the factory claim (9.9 seconds) but none under 9.5 seconds, so the AMS time would be just right.

seems like the new turbo S is good for everything - same track time as RS, easy and comfortable to drive daily, 4WD for all weather capability.
somehow I never feel like I will ever buy one as their depreciation is bad in the long run.

Best to buy after probably year 2 when they are back at the prices they were when the 997 was out. You can find 2014 TTS for $130K in the US nowadays.

The Huracan/R8 is a 29.x 0-300 car and it's faster than the Turbo S all the way to 260km/h according to this test. So in the end all those naive fantasies for the Turbo S slashing 4 seconds from it's 0-300 time by just getting 20 more hp and some "magic" with the way it breathes will meet the simple reality of physics as described a few months ago. It is a 29.X car...Which of course doesn't stop me from enjoying it every day.

What he said. Lighter cars with more power aren't 25s, so I don't see why a TTS would improve so much. It just doesn't have enough power, and that's what you need at those high speeds.

KresoF1:artur777:Audi R8 is faster and cheaper,,, very bad for 991.2 Turbo,,, not good
Please enlight me... R8 V10 Plus is not cheaper then 991.2 Turbo and is barely faster in straight line with 70ps more...
Choice may be: 1. Preference for NA sound and linearity, vs bigturbo, and 2. Preference for rear seats, vs none. (OK some may have core brand preference too...)

Dear KresoF1, in AMS test 991.2 TTS is even slower than 991.2 TT in this test: 9.8 vs 9.7 secs for 0-200. Very
strange for me. How is that possible?
fore
...which is less than 8% difference in power for an identical car which is driven on it's physical limit. It is not surprising the times are almost identical. They should be
2015 981 Cayman GT4 | White | Full Bucket Seats | Sport Chrono
2014 991 Carrera 4S | Dark Blue Metallic | PDK | Sport Chrono | SPASM
war_hawk:
About the AZ getting better results....the R8 times in both tests are almost identical. The funny thing is the TT and TTS times are almost identical too. Maybe the TTS wasn't in good condition...who knows. That's 40hp difference between the 2 P cars after all.
First test with 2 (Driver + Passenger) onboard and Michelin PS Cup 2.
Second test with 1 (Driver only) onboard and Pirelli P Zero.

Tests are unaccurate. Lets wait for Super Test
All of you have probably watched this one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMzhRtYxh3Q
Maybe this one too -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RJenKlCfD0
isn't the 991.2 TTS supposed to be faster than the 991.1 TTS? Factory claims are 0.4 seconds faster to 200kph in favor of the 991.2 TTS
