PORSCHE 911 GTS | THE FUTURE OF TURBO CARS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Porsche 911 GTS (992.2) represents a significant, yet remarkably seamless, integration of hybrid technology into a sports car. The reviewer highlights that the electrification is virtually imperceptible during driving, enhancing performance without the typical drawbacks or management demands found in competitors like the Corvette E-Ray. Key strengths include the electric turbocharger's elimination of lag, the smooth power delivery from the electric motor in the gearbox, and the battery's rapid charging capabilities, allowing for sustained performance without derating. The chassis dynamics are praised for maintaining excellent communication and balance, offering a rewarding driving experience even at the limit. However, the primary drawbacks are the steep price point, placing it in exotic car territory, and the intrusive fake engine noise piped into the cabin, which detracts from the authentic flat-six sound. Despite these cons, the reviewer concludes that Porsche has masterfully implemented hybrid tech, creating one of the most impressive and enjoyable modern sports cars, albeit an extremely expensive one.
