Porsche 992.2 GTS Hybrid: City Driving Review

Today on TheSmokingTire, the team takes the 992.2 GTS hybrid for a spin, putting it through its paces in city driving conditions. With 600 miles clocked over 7 days, this Porsche proves to be a mixed bag of power and refinement. The hybrid system delivers instant torque, eliminating the need to constantly switch modes for a smooth ride. However, the start-stop function falls short of luxury standards, prompting deactivation in this high-end sports car. The firm ride, accentuated by bucket seats and center lock wheels, adds a touch of sportiness but may not be everyone's cup of tea for daily use.

Reflecting on the GTS's performance, the team notes its precision in steering and handling, reminiscent of the acclaimed GT3 model. Despite its agility, gearbox noises during slow maneuvers raise some concerns about refinement. Start-stop reactivation quirks when changing drive modes add an unnecessary layer of complexity to the driving experience. While the digital cluster provides essential information, traditional gauges are missed for their classic appeal. The hybrid engine's unique sound draws comparisons to the iconic 964 turbo, showcasing a blend of modern technology and classic Porsche heritage.

In the realm of daily driving, the GTS shines in light-to-light scenarios but may lack the comfort desired for city cruising. The team contemplates the value proposition of this complex hybrid system, suggesting alternatives like the Carrera T or GT3 for a more straightforward driving experience. While the GTS impresses with its performance capabilities, it may not be the go-to choice for those seeking a refined daily driver. Join TheSmokingTire as they dissect the nuances of the 992.2 GTS hybrid, offering insights into its strengths and areas for improvement in the competitive world of sports cars.
