Porsche Club of America reviews the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (991.2), highlighting its blend of GT3-level performance with street-friendly usability. The GTS swaps the naturally aspirated engine of earlier models for a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six, producing around 450 hp, paired with a PDK transmission for smooth, responsive power delivery.

Real-wheel steering enhances handling, giving a go-kart-like feel despite the longer wheelbase of newer 911s. The car balances track capability with touring comfort, making it suitable for canyon drives, road trips, and daily use. Features like the push-to-pass boost button, sticky Michelin tires, and a refined chassis deliver sharp, confident handling without harshness.

The reviewer praises the car’s style, including a unique Graphite Blue Metallic PTS color and a well-maintained interior. With seating for two and excellent ergonomics, the 991.2 GTS is presented as a highly enjoyable, versatile 911 that combines thrilling performance, everyday usability, and long-distance comfort.
