- This is a follow up to the 992 GT3 video I did two weeks ago, looking at the differences with the GT3 Touring edition.

I'd drop the PTS paint and just have Gentian Blue Metallic. I'd also drop the Leather and Fabric interior and stitching extras. The Rear lights I'd leave standard as well.
Lovely to see, sounds amazing too, thanks Nick, and owner 👍🏁👏
Great videos Nick. Most confused by the market's preference for the Touring. If you want a track car, the regular GT3 is significantly better by providing over 200 pounds more downforce. I cannot envision trading my 991.2 GT3 for a Touring (even without the ridiculous "market" price difference - absent the fortunate few with an allocation). I will remain a satisfied wanker with a wing. As for the GT3 as a daily, I have used the GT3 as a daily when the 991.1 Targa 4S is in the shop, but it is a bit much for the city. The GT3 is a beast and commands a lot of attention. I love to drive, but some days traffic is awful, other drivers are being crazy, and/or I just want to cruise. And don't get me started on speed bumps where it feels like the GT3's rear wheels have zero travel unless you are crawling/inching forward. Can't count how many times people have honked at me for going too slow over speed bumps/pot holes/metal street covers. The race suspension and light and tight steering of the GT3 is no fun on those days. I prefer the forgiveness of the Targa as a daily. Also, the naturally aspirated aspects of the 991.1 Targa provides a nice linear response and has a wonderful exhaust note (when the sport exhaust is engaged). Yes, the Targa is heavy and not in the same league as the GT3 from a performance perspective, but it is still a wonderful sports car and a great daily. If you love the feel and sound of a naturally aspirated and want to use it as a daily, my vote is for a 991.1 Carrera variant, or earlier.
Agreed.
I agree
Some people want the essence of a GT3 without quite a hardcore experience or boyish aero packages, while also having the amazing 4.0.
Nick in new cars makes me always feared about upcoming electronic Gremlins. I quite like the simple dark-blue color. Looks way better than I thought. Great Video!
Excellent review and comparison of two fabulous 911 gt3 versions
Thank you Nick and thank you to the owners of these amazing sports cars for letting you drive them for us.
make it three Nick. I hear there is a another blue one in the vicinity
992 GT3 Touring’s are so amazing, love the timeless way the 992 GT3’s design comes together…..a modern classic if ever there was one 🥰
Good to see a Kiwi doing these reviews (I am in Oz), and only recently discovered your channel.
As for the Touring.....tried getting one, but as you stated it is hard to get an allocation. So got a winged version. However, I do not like the rear wing on the touring and had plans to change it to a ducktail (aftermarket CF one made in germany). Other than that, great car and great review. Still very happy with my winged version.
Yay!!! Finally the GT3 Touring! The only 992 I like. Insanity! The most likeable CZcams channel for Porsche enthusiasts! PS: Your background music for your videos is classic! :D
I wish the touring had like a duck-bill-esque fixed spoiler.
Buy a regular one, remove the wing. Do wonder if this will affects high speed stability.
or rear seats..
Aftermarket probably… for the 991.2 they exist
ok… but a regular one does not have the fantastic cup derived engine, which is what one wants in a GT3
Yes… that’d be perfect!!
GT3 Touring video, awesome. Now gotta have Nick's take on the 992 T.
You have the best damn videos. I truly look forward to these.
I would drive this every day, no problem. Dream car. Thanks for sharing Nick.
Enjoyed this Nick. Great attention to detail.
What a color and what an engine! And the giggles, of course... 0:20
That is simply a beautiful machine!
Nick knows how to slip on down to the oasis, he's got friends in the right places...no high wings or whiskey, just Porsches , dogs and apes to chase his blues away. 🤘
You are such a marvel of mankind!
Suck up 😂
Nick or the GT3?
@@danI43541 depending on the point of view 😄
Great video Nick, clean and quick, Like a GT3.
The dash edge finish is a nod to early aircooled 911’s where there was a dash trim panel in plated (heat embossed) ‘plaited leather’ trim. 👍
Great spec - just a beautiful car with epic engine. GT3 for weekend and TurboS for daily duties = perfect garage.
One of my absolute favourites. Not surprising. Getting one would be.
Never change Nick 🙂
Great video Nick; keen observations as usual. I think Porsche should have a softer, more compliant suspension with the touring package. Touring implies grand touring which implies driving cross country.
Tbh not a huge fan of that paint color, especially not compared to some of the other PTS blues on offer. Looks ok from far away, but a little bland up close, almost like a blue version of all those tired flat greys that are currently en vogue.
Needs just a bit of sparkle or color "depth" to make it pop.
This is wonderful
Definitely needs running in. Andreas P of Weissach did say that these engines need to be run in properly prior to high rpms.
GREAT COLOR!!🔥🔥🥇🥇
My local dealer has a couple of these for sale in the showroom...they are out there.
Consistent Nick wow haha. This gen must be the edgiest looking 911 with those prominent sharp lines . 991 was more rounded
Albert blue. Love it !
We just want the GTS vs S video Nick. Release it already you tease.
Lovely Touring. It’s Dark Sea Blue / Meer Blau.
Correct!
Thanks Nick. I love the car. How many months/years between order and delivery?
PTS dark sea blue A5G - what a beautiful car!
18-ways and a manual = Proper Spec
@@brianhimmelman420 You've never used a bucket seat daily I'm going to assume
It's fun for a couple of hours the first day then you remove them
Wow the options pricing is so insane.
Nice One Nick 👍
So it may have a 200k sticker price with options, but let's be real, the actual selling price is likely closer to 300k... GT3T have earned a reputation of a discount 911R, and there is certainly a demand in the market driving that price premium.
for a second I thought I was looking at the thumbnail for the previous GT3 touring vid you did from 3 years ago 🙂
Love it!
Nice video as always, loving the 35mm shots. I wish Porsche made a extra comfort setting on each model to make the ride extra comfy when you want it, I’m sure the tech is possible.
Been waiting for this!! Giggle.
Love love
Hi Nick, Another fantastic video release of a car to dream of - beautiful and sounds right. Is the PTS Golf Blue?
I’d like to know what color as well.
This...right now...is THE ULTIMATE drivers car. Manual with amazing steering feel, amazing sound!
Very nice
Another great video Nick! William does not look as happy in the car tho. His nose is stuck to the back of the driver’s seat. Give gorilla more space!
A lot of gorilla suffering unfortunately
Nik can you make a video on the cost of bringing a car to the track? would you bring your own GT3, or would it get “ruined”?
what do you think about the new carerra T nick , say something! My dealer says it's a 14 months waitlist to get allocation now
Beautiful car, love the wheels and the fact that the owner had the good taste not to order them in black. Not sure this would be the car for me though. I'd want AWD and all the comfort I could get, including a PDK. My days of shifting are over, fun for a few hours but not what I'd want for a road trip or a traffic jam. Agree on the wing, it's silly looking. From what I've read, the GT3 is a track car and I couldn't see myself tracking a $200k car, nor driving it on the street for basic transportation. Maybe as an investment?
How about a review of the new 911 T? Looks to me the most fun car to own all aspects considered.
I agree I would take this over the regular GT3, looks sleeker and more for the road. I'm torn between this car or the McLaren Artura.
I do like you classic intros sir … always a good start 👍
…
And like I said before sir, to much power and to fat a arse, for this beauty 😂
My PTS guess is #155289 - medium cyan blue of the Sunoco logo, sampled from the Penske 917/30 that Donohue drove. Tough to tell in the light, but I think so bc of the yellow accents. If it really is, then it’s well worth the 12k in my book.
No it's Dark Sea Blue
Is it called Nautical Blue?
Dark Sea Blue is lighter and more beautiful than is shown on Rennbow. I would have guessed the PTS was Albert Blue, but that is actually lighter. Thanks for clearing that up. Now, back to pointless PTS configurations, this time with Dark Sea Blue.
Albert Blue - The same PTS I have on my Spyder. Had a Gentian Blue (too much purple hue).. Albert Blue side-by-side is NIGHT and DAY different. Not all Pantones are created equal. Look at Grey... PS - Have a GT3T BRG (British Racing Green) sitting at the port of Emden..
Meerblau (dark sea)
So why isn’t it a good DD? Suspension too stiff? Not enough low end torque? Too much wind noise?
happymondays💝
‘’Yeah, I like to fly below the radar’’…….cough…cough….Kermit green soccer sled. WTF Nick
Beatiful car
Perfect for your octogenerian dentist who will never bring it to the track.
Great video Nick. Question: what would be your perfect 911 daily driver, if you had to choose just one. Is that a 991.1 N/A Carrera S?
I owned a 991.1 NA Carrera and it was pretty good however the 3.0T engine in the 991.2 and 992.1 is simply a better engine (more flexible) and the the 991.2 was a better car in so many ways.
Unobtanium in Europe at this moment. I know clients that have a long history with their Porsche Centers (going back as far as ordering 928 GT from them) and even they are having troubles securing an "allocation".
Nick, for a Carrera T, shark blue or racing yellow? Thank you. Of course, Race Tex only on the roof and no interior trim inlays in exterior color :D
Aaaahhhh ... a few minutes of joyful escapism
Yeah I much prefer the touring with it's understated looks. Iv never been a fan of the chav spoiler on the original package.
Take the wing off if you are not a fan
What color is that? You didn’t mention it that I heard.
Wing or no gt3
I have a feeling this PTS is Albert Blue. If I recall correctly, Manaus is close in saturation, but much more green than purple.
Edit: Nevermind, I googled Albert Blue, it's more blue and lighter than I remembered.
Second guess, Dark Sea.
Love the gorillas comment on the lux rear seats. If you make it to the west coast you can drive my 991.1S, 958.2 TTS and macan S if you want to film or taking twisties by the ocean.
Nick. Can you respond with the actual PTS color and put an end to all the guessing?
The Deep Sea Blue (?) looks amazing
correct
One thing I think about the touring is that the lack of downforce on the rear end allows for slightly softer spring rates and thus a slightly better ride for the street.
The 992 GT3 touring actually has the same high-speed downforce as the regular GT3.
@@sitronost I don't think this is the case (and I cannot see how it can be the case given the sheer size of the wing on the regular GT3. The reports that I have seen indicate that touring has less down force. But, then, I could be wrong
@@sitronost This is untrue, although the Touring actually has close to 0 lift or perhaps even negative lift due to the active rear wing and gurney flap. The GT3 creates a significant amount of net downforce
The downforce is different but the spring rate is the same.
Would you really go "touring" in this GT3 Touring? It does seem quite noisy inside.
we want to see Carrera T!
Hi Nick, please share your thoughts on the new Carrera T and possibly how you would spec the car. I do need to act like it is a four seater. 😂. Luckily the passengers are small and will probably fit for the next 5 year or so still
perfect car. a reason to work hard and make a bunch of money in life
Great 👍👍👍
Nick - High gloss black bits or keep base plastic look?
Base
He spec’d it really well.
... and got bent over while doing it.
Yup. “Howls” good for starters. But add “Twisties” to the “Howls” and you’ve got true “Thrills n’ Chills”. Pricing is a little tiresome. But you’ve got a great vibe, man. Thanks
The giant wing is what makes a GT3 a GT3. A GT3 without a wing is like a viper without fangs.
I would agree, except that the standard GT3 wing is too obnoxious. I’d prefer something more understated on the Touring, maybe a ducktail or an aerokit wing. No wing at all makes it a bit too boring for a $200k MSRP car.
請問在那裡可以買你的gorilla ？？
For all considering ordering a Porsche, cars are being delivered to the dealers complete but short simple components such as amps. My Turbo GT was delivered 3 weeks ago early Nov 2022. Dealers can’t deliver incomplete cars, so my car will sit on the dealer lot for an estimated 2 months awaiting a Burmeister amp, late Jan 2023. Very frustrating. Just saying, curb your expectations
Had to watch the first 23 secs 4 times just to take in what was going on, and take in the noise too. If I had one id get the nostrils done in body colour to hide them a bit, they didn't show to much on that colour.
It has your blue color, it has a manual and a 4.0 natural aspirated engine, why don't you buy it Nick?
That car is totally and utterly Cool & The Gang 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Nik scores again! How long has it been since someone has asked you when you will buy your next new 911?....5 minutes?
By the way...when will you buy your next new 911?
I hope your passenger in the back did not get car sick as I did when having a short ride in a friends 997
As a an owner of a Gentian blue 911 I thought I was looking at that color. Seems like a waste of a PTS expense to have it so close to Gentian Blue.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hypothetical scenario: You already have a Murcielago lp640 (egear) and a 550 Maranello, with a Cayenne turbo for daily duties and winter. You want a manual Porsche and prefer the looks of the 991's over the 992, and do not plan to track either vehicle. Do you go for the more visceral .2 GT3 with a stick or the more civilized GTS? Would the latter leave you thinking "damn I wish this rev'd to 9k", or would its amenities and more usable torque make up for it, even with a grand tourer (550m) already in the stable? Cheers!
I would get a Carrera S or Carrera T over a GTS or GT3 any day. More drivable, more fun and more usable as a daily.
most analog 911 if money was not an issue- 911 GTS, Touring or GT3 touring ???
Hi everyone. I am going to get a set of Bilsteen Evos and want to setup my 992 4s to GT3 ride height touring spec. Would someone please be cool enough to measure the front and rear ground to wheel well arch and post those precise measurements on post here please?Should only take a minute, many thanks!!! 😊
Break in is 1500km or 932 miles. According to Andreas Preuninger … & it’s the only 911 to buy . Imo
damn i want a touring
Hey 911, only a couple of years and im coming to buy u❤️
What color is it nick? Pantone Blue? Albert Blue? DSB?
It's Dark Sea Blue. Chris Harris spec :)
It’s Dark Sea Blue!
I don’t get those owners who don’t want the wing. If you wanted subtle, why not get the turbo.
I know the Tourings are “ coveted” but it loses the gt3 feel without wing
