I drove a Porsche Boxster GTS earlier this year. This is my take on it:

Also check out the short article I wrote about it: http://autobahn-club.com/news/porsche-boxster-gts/


Thanks

That looked like fun. It sounded nice. I'd like to see this review on the coupe.

Thanks. Unfortunately I have no plans in testing the Coupe this year. Maybe a GT4 but I doubt that I will have it this year.

That motor looks like it revs really quickly to redline. The car has 330hp but does it "feel" faster than the numbers say? How is the torque? I drove a Boxster S (have not driven GTS) while the car is awesome in many ways I just feel it lacks a bit of torque down low. I believe the GTS has about 7 lb-ft more and hope Porsche change the torque delivery to give it more kick lower in rpm.

Well it's difficult to say as a fact that the torque curve is better in the GTS. I personally don't like torque. I am more of a high rev guy. But I understand in the States torque is a lot more convenient and necessary than here in Germany. I never felt it lacked torque. Of course it's not a torquey car, but it definitely feels faster than the numbers say. Especially because of that amazing sound. I would definitely buy this car. It's absolutely fantastic imo.

BTW I am driving the GT3 at the moment and it's everything but torquey. No much happens below 5k RPM. But it's fun But I would never buy it for my home in LA. But you will hear more about it when I do my review.

Thanks for the questions

Cayman GT4 review would be nice......but I hear that Porsche will only make 2,500 units of it worldwide.

Supply is smaller than demand

How can there be over 2000 views but only so view views on the video. :/

It sounds a bit like a 2-stroke dirt bike when lifting off the throttle, which I personally like. Unfortunately, the sound doesn't quite match what my eyes are seeing. Take for example minute 2:07 through 2:12 of the video... You can hear the car approaching before the car enters the scene. I was expecting to see the car rip past the camera in a flash. Instead, it rolled by at a snail's pace. While that was disappointing, I'd still love to have the car.

Haha ok. I am not sure if I quite got your point but I believe you mean the car is louder than it is quick? As long as it's not ricer loud I think it's okay. After all, it's a Porsche
