Last Manual Porsche 911 Targa Ever To Be Made? Detailed 992.1 GTS 7-Speed Review With Owner

Is the 2024 911 Targa GTS the last great manual “driver’s spec” ever to be made by Porsche? In today’s review we take a close, owner lead look at the Porsche 992.1 911 Targa GTS with a 7-speed manual — a rare combination that blends modern 911 turbo performance with old-school involvement. This is a full, detailed walk-through + POV drive, filmed the way enthusiasts actually want it: exterior, interior, infotainment, then real road time with real commentary. If you’re searching for “992.1 911 Targa GTS manual review,” “Porsche 911 Targa GTS POV drive,” “992.1 GTS 7-speed manual,” “manual vs PDK 911 GTS,” “911 Targa GTS exhaust sound,” or “992.1 GTS driving impressions,” you’re in the right place. EXTERIOR + DESIGN (what we covered) • Targa styling highlights: roll hoop, wraparound glass, and the roof mechanism • Front/rear design details, lighting, stance, and proportions • Wheels/tires and brake presence (and why it matters for the GTS look) • Real-world notes: visibility, door handles (maybe only real con), and overall on-road presence INTERIOR DEEP DIVE We get inside for a true owner-focused interior review: seating position, comfort, materials, visibility, storage, and the ergonomics of the 992.1 cabin. We talk about the GTS vibe, steering wheel controls, the center stack layout, and the “daily driver” reality of a manual 911 — clutch effort in traffic, shifter placement, and whether it still feels special at normal speeds. If you’re cross-shopping a Carrera S, a GTS coupe, or a 911 Cabriolet, this section will help you understand what you gain (and what you trade) with a Targa compared to a coupe or Cabriolet, and why the GTS trim is the sweet spot for a lot of buyers. INFOTAINMENT + TECH We go through the infotainment system, screens, menus, audio/phone connectivity, and the features you’ll use most. More importantly, we keep it practical: how fast it responds, how easy it is to change drive modes, and whether the modern 992 cockpit still feels like a 911 when you’re actually driving. If you care about usability (CarPlay, daily controls, visibility of key info, quick access to settings), you’ll see it all. FULL POV DRIVE + MILD PULL Then we hit the road. You’ll get a full POV drive so you can hear the flat-six character, intake/exhaust notes, and the way the car loads up under throttle. We also did a mild run out through 4th gear — not a “hero run,” just a clean demonstration of how the power builds, how the gearing feels, and how the manual transmission connects you to the car. We talk clutch take-up, shifter feel, throttle response, braking confidence, ride quality, road noise, and whether the Targa’s added structure changes the feel compared to a coupe and how it impacts confidence and comfort on real roads. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS REVIEW • How the 992.1 911 Targa GTS manual feels in normal driving and when you lean on it • Whether the manual adds involvement without ruining the daily experience • How the 992.1 interior and tech impact real-world usability • Who this spec is actually for (and who should choose PDK instead) BUYER NOTES (quick) If you’re shopping: pay attention to spec and options that affect daily use and resale (front axle lift, sport chrono, seats, wheels, carbon/trim choices). A great 992.1 GTS should feel confidence-inspiring and easy to drive fast, not edgy or inconsistent. If you’ve driven a 911 before, you’ll immediately notice how “together” the best examples feel through the steering, brake pedal, and shifter. WHO IS THIS CAR FOR? If you want a 911 that can do everything — commute, date night, back roads, and weekend trips — but you still want to feel like you’re driving, the 992.1 911 Targa GTS manual is a special answer. And if you’re comparing 992.1 vs 991.2, pay attention to the refinement, cabin tech, and the way the chassis communicates — it’s a different flavor of 911, in a good way. Drop a comment: would you choose the 992.1 911 Targa GTS manual, or go PDK? And what would your spec be (color, wheels, interior, options)?
