Had both. The Gen1 Turbo has a 3.6 Porsche lump, whilst the Gen2 GTS has a 2.9 Audi. Both similarly quick but the Turbo delivered with a powerful thump when floored, whilst the GTS is certainly better planted, better sounding and more fun to drive. After the first few weeks of ownership I considered that the GTS was the better car for me.
