SL55 AMG vs Porshe 911 Turbo

[dasgilde]

ill have the porshe thanks

[DutchManticore]

Holy shit.

I've never been so greedy with anything, but I NEEEEEED to have an SL55.

I don't even want the newer SL63 models... I need the older SL55 one.

[56wb56a]

ugly rims on the sl55

[codrinas]

4:55... favourite part. "Yes, TOP GEAR is a bit long, but once you change to 5th GEAR things really start to come alive" :)) awesome said

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Good old Tiff. always entertaining and knowledgeable, he also manages to keep an open mind all the time.. Porsche forever!

[sazhawk]

sl 65 amg black series ;) fuck prosche audi and bmw

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@sazhawk Fuck Prosche? The spelling and language speaks volumes.

[sazhawk]

@MagicAyrtonforever wow thats what happens if u type quick mr. teacher. YEA FUCK PORSCHE im from germany i know a little bit more about cars than you my son ;)

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@sazhawk and how would you know more about cars than me then "my son" I have worked in the motor industry for over 25 years!! Pretty Arrogant.. but that's normal coming from Germany ;-)

[sazhawk]

@MagicAyrtonforever I can be because Germans inveted the auto mobile ;) and guess what it was a benz and guess where? in mannheim and guess where I live in mannheim and guess where I work? at mercedes benz. so i know what im talking about ;)

[MonkeyMike1234]

@sazhawk Just because you live in the city/Germany where the first car was made doesn't give you carte blanche to be an arrogant douche. You may know a lot, I'm also sure as hell you don't know everything. There's nothing wrong with shutting your mouth once in awhile and learning something, you should try it. But then again as @MagicAyrtonforever said, It isn't shocking the arrogance spewing from the German Know-it-alls.

[sazhawk]

@MonkeyMike1234 i never said i knew everything ;) the two of u seem arrogant because i didnt even start this conversation all i said was fuck porsche audi and bmw cause im a benz fan ;) maybe just keep your sixth sense you yourself and keep out of other peoples buisness ;)

[MonkeyMike1234]

@sazhawk He said you were arrogant and your exact words were "I can be, Germans invented the automobile". Now you are telling me you weren't being arrogant? You clearly were... lolol

[sazhawk]

@MonkeyMike1234 why do u care?

[MonkeyMike1234]

@sazhawk Why are you being an arrogant douche to start with? Personally, I don't care, I just like calling people out for being dicks for no reason. Now, it's just funny you're lying or whatever when it's all right here... lolol Thank you for the amusement.

[sazhawk]

@MonkeyMike1234 haha im laughing myself cause i know whats up :D all i have to do is look at my bank account every month ;)

[MonkeyMike1234]

@sazhawk You know whats up? What? You being an arrogant douche is whats up.. I thought we went over this already... and as for the "All i need to do is look in my bank account" Thats pretty stupid, don't you know everyone on youtube is a billionaire, garages full of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc.

[sazhawk]

@MonkeyMike1234 good for the people on youtube ;)

[Dantheman13091996]

porsche sounds like cheapass tuner.3.6l h-6 engine with turbo sounds so bad compared to 55amg v8

[CmdrTobs]

@Dantheman13091996 Sound only matters to people who can't drive and would by a car because it's a rollex with wheels.

[diogodiogo002]

@CmdrTobs you know nothing about cars

[CmdrTobs]

@diogodiogo002 Your mother knows nothing about washing.

[diogodiogo002]

@CmdrTobs kid lol i can bet you have never driven any car

[CmdrTobs]

@diogodiogo002 Like I said, get your mother some soap.

[myo247]

KING PORSCHE

[mofunzonecom]

worst rims ever on sl

[unknownunknowns]

Nurburgring track car vs the autobahn cruiser

[feeble33]

Ugly rims :/

[schubidubap]

It's PorsChe!

[legops]

Whats up with that pervy smile???

[AMGkompressor20]

///AMG - anything , especially Porsche

[lexyota]

Porsche > Merc.

[luxurykid666]

How can you compare a heavy grand tourer against a tiny coupe who's sole purpose it to drive for fun, not every day

[MrCosmin94]

@luxurykid666 911 is made for every day driving!

[luxurykid666]

@MrCosmin94 I agree, but the Turbo is more of a driver's car. There is no doubt that you could drive the turbo everyday, but if you have $160 000+ to lay down on a car like that, you probably have an e-class in the driveway too.

[MrCosmin94]

@luxurykid666 probably, yes :)

[CmdrTobs]

@luxurykid666 lol, that's the whole point of the 911 for decades. It was the sports car for the daily drive. A "Ferrari" for the weekday with German reliability.

[luxurykid666]

@CmdrTobs I do agree. It is just that the SL is a grand tourer. I just think that if someone wanted to do a cross country tour, they would choose the other car they would probably have in the driveway for the task rather than a 911, let alone the Turbo

[novatrek]

@marcus1aurelius1 Explanation for the thick. "the mercedes is awesome" he means its has good qualities, its a good car and there really no reason if you want one you shouldn't buy it. "the porshe is superb" its a better car, more fun, exciting, escpecially for those who want to push the car a litttle. U get it now? okay, your welcome.

[steven4rmnewyork]

def amost crashed it at 1:45

[akon210]

almost crashes in 1:42 thats epic

[adsci]

the sl looks ugly in comparison to the porsche

[xp3rth4x0r]

ugly wheels on that SL lol

[tuncaYattara81]

Porsche turbo!!!!!!!!

[ZePivotMaster]

Im fucking sick of this new shitty youtube... the video takes piss ages to load and when I pause or move the video cursor it freezes and thats it.

Fuck this shit.

[basilora]

@ZePivotMaster i'm having no problems that you're describing. maybe it's your internet connection

[EVOLOVER69]

no chance! AMG madness all the way!!

[mtadros86]

I love how he almost crashed at 1.44, yet they still decided to keep it in the video.

[george6900]

Porsche is the best car in the world

[12valvepower1]

170 hp 1900 lbs first 911. great car. now. porsche is UNREAL

[laxer27]

id take the porsche any day

[ammaco]

the merc,sorry i forgot to add that.

[ammaco]

hahhaaa ive actaully sat in the drivers seat of that exact car thats used in this show.

[Nizm0350z]

1:43

[Nizm0350z]

way to almost crash that shit lol

[koseys1337rex]

The 2010 997's launch control is amazing... it feels like your being shot out of a gun, sorry im going ahead in time from this video :)

[sachakishlar]

due to the new PDK gearbox which they never had before in the 997's or 996's etc

[mart4ever]

Porsche didn't offer the turbo as a cabriolet at the time this programme was made...

[thomasakase]

Stupid to whine about the weight while comparing a convertible with a coupe. Of course the convertible will be heavier, it has design disadvantage and a lot more parts.

How about testing against the coupe version of CLK55 or CLK63?

[alexandcheetahs]

Lol, at 4:53 he talks about the gear box and he says 5th gear is more exciting than top gear, and it sounds like if he's talking about the car shows.

[dayboyy24]

lol i think he is the way he said it

[22slither]

Perhaps the 911 Turbo cabriolet should have featured to make the comparison more relevant. The Porsche in any case is the more focussed sports car, the mercedes on the other hand plays more to the grand tourer theme.

[PoveyLod]

those are nice wheels, like the ones i have on my sl55.

[OpreaMD]

At 1:44 he almost hit that wall lol

[JussBL4ZE]

rofl

[jaytheo510]

@OpreaMD yea... the "wall" ... LMAO. where the f do you see a wall ??!

[OpreaMD]

@jaytheo510 u mean the ground wall? u troll or smthin?



[jaytheo510]

@OpreaMD nah. i dont see no god damn wall . lol

[OpreaMD]

@jaytheo510 What he was very close to hit then?

[jaytheo510]

@OpreaMD bushes, twigs.? not a wall though. LOL.

[OpreaMD]

@jaytheo510 Wall of bushes and or twigs. Both happy? =D

[Earssss]

the 2010 997 has 500 hp,,sweetttttttt

[lobzdik]

silver is such a common colour, but it looks so dam GOOD on this 911!

[herautdeDieu]

i would have it one day soon very soon!!!!!!1 my porshew turbo anyway guys did you see the GT2 coming up oh my god

[MrReed1991]

That Merc is beautiful. i would have it anyday

[g9baracuta]

i think the SL is a GT and therefor its not really fair to test it alongside the 911 which is probably the best sports car ever

[codyj702]

1:45 this m*therf*cker almost scratched the Benz !!!!!!!!!!!

[wwwNooBcom]

You would have probably wrote it off and killed you and your family in the car, witch would be a good thing ofcourse

[pooritech]

the guy is boring! top gear will ever be the best car tv show!

[PaulieMafia]

4wd is practical. 420bhp through the rear wheels takes a bit of effort and concentration in the dry. add water and it becomes a mission!  4wd makes for comfortable, practical performance all year round. tiptronic makes it even more practical..

[TooMuchButtHair]

You don't spend $130,000 on a car because it's practical - you spend that much on the best performance machine you can get. It just so happens that the 911 turbo is practical. It's a testament to the engineering that went into the vehicle.

I could never live with a triptronic car though :p

[xraycortina]

You're right about 4wd. Couldn't understand the difference until i had a Lancia Delta Integrale. RWD = hard to stop the arse going out, FWD = torque steer and understeer.

[activreader]

I like it when he said 'Yes the 'Top Gear' is bit long but when you change to 'Fifth Gear' everything come to life...'

Your turn Mr Clarckson !

[Soloman1001]

Wahahaha!!

And you arent a Porsche fan, yeah right!

Good argument, neither can the poster of this video.

Tell me Mr SqueakyClean, What, pray tell, has 4 wheel drive have to do with Practicality?

.

[Soloman1001]

Shitz

4x4 is Handling, not Practicality, DORH!

Errr I have driven both of these cars and tell me how much shopping do you think you can get in the Porche, NOT MUCH, NOT PRACTICAL, you nead another car with the Porche also Porches are uncomfortable to drive, especially longer distances.

Have you ever driven these cars or even sat in one, I dont think so.

This guy Tiff is a middle aged boy racer, thats why he likes the Porche.

The Merc is alot more comfortable and Practical.

.

[Soloman1001]

The Merc is Powerful and Practical.

The Porche is Powerful Sporty and totally inpractical.

.

[ShizoluckyShizostar]

I'm not a Porsche fan by any means but to say that Porsche is impractical you must know nothing about cars.

Actually it's more practical. Why?

- Takes less space on the road or parking

- Better fuel economy

- 2 extra seats

- 4 wheel drive.

duh...

[Soloman1001]

Shitz

2 extra seats, have you got pigmies in your family, ah! Ok, you´ll be fine then.

Hahaha!!

2 extra seats? you Plonker!

.

[ShizoluckyShizostar]

Just as I thought. *sigh* I'm not arguing with you. You can't even spell porsche.

[fp5carbon1]

damn, fifth gear makes even the hottest cars so freckin boring.

[andrew190e]

completely different cars sl easier to live with

[silonet737]

I disagree, the Porsche is much more of a drivers car and the boot is much larger than people think; I've owned both of toughs cars in the last 5 years I much prefer the Porsche

[Junker8]

porsche is AWD, so that right there eliminates the easier to live with argument. he porsche also has "back seats".

The hood has place for storage, where the trunk of the SL is being used by a hardtop convertible.

Not to mention porsche's handling

[paul123443]

slr ist besser

[asd9028]

911 gt3 or turbo??

[speedycatz]

Daily use (highway overtaking and stuff): Turbo

Race track: GT3

[adomelka]

Mercedes 3x better than Porshe... And no one will change my opinion...

[OldtimerMercedesBenz]

No need because you are right =D

[mramo]

haha - a cheeky innuendo added on 4:57 about "Top Gear" & "Fifth Gear".

[marek0086]

@mramo~ to me it seems a little more sinister than that!.... he didnt do it tongue in cheek.

Its subliminal massaging!

[mramo]

@marek0086 He was basically sending an innuendo to say that Top Gear was long & boring & to switch to Fifth Gear. Trust me.

[marek0086]

@mramo~ ye no shit!

Its the way he said it that made it sinister. U obviously dont know anything about the subconscious mind.

[mramo]

@marek0086 You know nothing about being English, because simply, You aint one of us. I am. so I know what I am talking about.

[marek0086]

@mramo~ oh far out!..... u just dont get it do u!?

[mramo]

@marek0086 I get it all now. You dont. Its a British show, so only British people get it. No one cares about sub conscious minds.

[marek0086]

@mramo~Its a form of hypnosis. YOU trust ME.

[albatored]

I think this old gay in his leather jacket would enjoy a fat dick in his asshole as much as driving this car...

[textthing]

You seem a mite insecure there, old pal.

[longpenis50]

haha :D

[albatored]

those gays cant drive !!

[Menace14ts]

yeah...CAUSE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL RACE CAR DRIVER! YOU FUCKING FRENCH NANCY!

[ozmaan]

hahahahahahahahaha.

I laughed my ass off at 4:50 - 5:00

[FELIKS2121]

tough call

[MoboToledo]

I love both these shows. I like Tiff a lot too.

[Dgreatwun82]

my god the 911 Turbo is my dream car! I would do anything to get that car!

[hebbels]

i would do the same, but for an sl55 ;)

[frankie827]

i'd take both if i had my choice :P

[Stylothek]

i like the pun:

Top Gear is a bit long, but Fifth Gear makes it come alive:-)

[Defunkt25]

Top Gear kills Fifth gear!

[fiskye]

Tiff needell is a legend!

[TheBlackAndGold11]

fuck this bloke talks like a dickhead i couldnt even watch the whole thing his voice is so fucking irratating and makes this vid boring

[LOLHICRONO]

i used to thin kthis way too.

[Taimak77]

What the hell is a "Shassy"=chassis? What a cheeseball!

[moonbeam457]

Tad pedantic, isn't he?

[BeliUsiki]

I know! Watch Top Gear, that's what I call a show!

[Defunkt25]

Def man, Fifth gear dick around with stuff nobody cares about. Top gear make it entertaining too!

[Junker8]

plus top gear tests shit that I actually care about.

[elguey0]

Was that a reference at 4:55? lol

[Klottelitsch]

Todays Mercedes are disposal one way plastic crap cars as Ford Mondeo..

PLASTE-BENZ

No good old solid quality left.

Just watch the ugly plastic gimmick overloaded Cockpit compared to a W108 or W116 or even W126

Wie kann man nur diesen Niedergang unterstützen und so einen Krempel kaufen? Hat keiner mehr Ansprüche?

Für unsere Türkischen Freunde:

Mustafa kemal attatürk alibaba Sindbad Bagdad Blabbla...Mercedes Nix gut!

[strek0655]

Damn he almost lose control at 1:43

[scoutdogg]

I like how he rips on top gear!

[Ennester19]

german cars on tour

[8MunchenBayern8]

actually....he has no accent...because he is an Englishman speaking English....you stupid Americans have the stupid accent.

[dlee4she]

hey im american!!!! but ur comment was funny lol

[8MunchenBayern8]

lol thanks, would u take the SL or the 911?

[dlee4she]

neither.......gimme an e63 or a brabus ev12 and i ll call it a day lol

[8MunchenBayern8]

you really like the E-class? I like the E55 more...the sound of the supercharger is just unbelievable. If i could have any German car I would get Carrera GT, or the legend, the GT3.

[dlee4she]

you c im kinda diff from every1 else. im not into 2door coupes and supercars. not that i dont like em itz just not my cup of tea. im a 4 door guy. i used to love the e55 more but the e63 is faster and superchargers on amgs arent that loud anyway.

[qxe4]

pure british yummy accent :)

[IvyLeagueCars]

Are you gay?

[qxe4]

why u ask .. cuz i like this accent ?? u think i am a gay ?

sorry i am Not !

[25113677]

ive just realised i drive on the same road as that road test daily!, its the main road between Machynlleth and Dolgellau in Wales. and yeah the top gear punt made me smile! good old tiff.

[mohod1982]

annoying accent

[forsteaua]

I'll get the 911 Turbo when I'll be 18:D

[dfgawrade]

yep, thats what we all think when we are young,

you should grow up and see the reality, turbos are for grown ups who actually have the potential and money to buy one but commenting about it still helps. i think.

[orangechilli]

Sure. I'd love to see your insurance premiums (assuming that they will even bother to insure you at all). A mate was recently quoted £2300 to insure a £300 heap of junk. Try growing up for once.

[05027802]

Great car the Sl55 AMG but I didn't need Needles (as much as i love him) to tell me it isn't going to compare well to the 911 Turbo. Lets be honest the both cars are aimed at different markets, for your average middle age buisness executive the Sl55 will do the job without looking too self indulgent!

[mrhyde911]

"simply superb"

Love the accent.

[SDK727]

I liked the Top Gear joke at 4:50 there!

[geforce5700fx]

LooL

[RushGsp2k]

GTR is going for 120k in the states and their all already signed for, so much for a poor mans 911

[Junker8]

GT R smokes them both for half the price

[lobzdik]

911 turbo hands dooooooooooown

[omfgmak]

get a job kid

[lobzdik]

hahaha

how about YOU get a job gramps? i heard you guys are gettin it hard with the new budget, might have to get one soon anyway ))

[omfgmak]

[Junker8]

You can't get a degree before 20!

Even if you were going to school FULL TIME!

And you can't even et a degree from a reputable university in 5 years if you are workin 50 hours a week!

[lobzdik]

[samsemtex]

"Top Gear is a bit long, when you swith to 5th gear it comes alive"

They are complete losers, that was clearly a dig at top gear. Just like that time he said "stig that up your pipe".

How often do you hear top gear mention 5th Gear? Never.

[bawanb]

boo you, Top gear is way better

and tehy have an audience

[Krycek2008]

Look for the Pagani Zonda, it was the first episode of TopGear's current form, in 2002. Jeremy says in off: "The top speed in 5th is nearly 200mph." Then inside the car:"But I'm moving out of 5th gear now, and into top gear..." And he SMILES at the camera. Provocative? Tiff sucks, he may be a good driver or reviewer, but he lacks the humbleness needed to bond with the audience and be a good entretainer. He couldn't make a joke about himself.

[omfgmak]

and im sure a person like you would have a higher degree of social status than these "losers"

[samsemtex]

"Top Gear is a bit long, when you swith to 5th gear it comes alive"

[thatdudeinthesky]

you are so right!!!

[StatiCDjn]

he nearly crashed it at 1:45 BUM!

[morghath]

total prick

[T4RocKs]

bot Top geaR and 5th Gear Rules..They are both amazing

[lfsracer79]

"Top Gear is a bit long but once you change to Fifth Gear, things really start to come alive." :-)

[buzwazfuz]

my dad has the sl55 and he loves it, its a cruiser and a muscle car with the roar of that engine

[Energonorama]

"but, but, but there are other cars faster than the moon and at the price of a shoelace and and.." yea yea, shut your face.

Id have the Porsche Turbo

[vsrap71]

Saleen s7 twin- turbo is my favorite american car.

[KilaByte33]

did this have anything to to with american cars?

[vsrap71]

no, just responding to the thing below, but the german cars are pretty car, I personally don't like porshe and bmw, otherwise, merc and audi rule!!!!
