Testing the 2012 Porsche Carrera 911

[Neel9690]

17 dislikes are gtr fans...lol...this is what is mean by quality and thats why this car is more expensive than the gtr

[Teraraza]

I had dreams of buying a porsche since i was a little kid.. I graduated from college 3 semesters ago and realized how hard it is to find a job to feed myself and pay my bills.. I am employed but will have to stick with my 2000 Civic for a while.. Reality is a bitch.. Hope i get to own a porsche in my life..

[Ascendancy25]

GO FEED IT A FERRARI

[OneGuitarGuy]

@Ascendancy25 I'm pretty sure Ferrari doesn't do this type of testing. Porsche is the daily driver's sport's car. They run forever, are fun to drive, and you don't look like such a douche driving one like you would in a Ferrari. Drive your Ferrari on the weekends to your car meets to brag. Take your Porsche to work on the weekdays to have a fun time.

[LK1801]

I love the part with the african boys.

Heartwarming...

[pennypacker93]

I haved loved or rather been obsessed with Porsche since I was 12 years old. I realised my dream when I was 19 and bought a new 944- which I still own today, several more followed over the years...but now I wish the marque was as exclusive as it was in 1988..alas Porsche is such an amazing product that perhaps too many are now produced and sold....so sadly now I will try another marque.

[GSandhuable]

wasn't this on national geographic? I love the narrator!

[TheGetawayer]

This video is extraordinary !

[tonydmty1234567]

This are passion and compromise from a Company to its product and clients.

Very High Quality Products.

[MikeGnar513]

looks the same...

[onetwothreefour721]

are these Turbo models? those appear to be side vents on the rear fenders...

[sail0r2]

@onetwothreefour721 i dont think so. they haven't made the turbo in the new body style yet.

[3yar1983]

Dear Porsche . . It's called 991 !

[Slowekistan]

Is this based on a true story?

[AntiIgnorantDimwit]

Porschaganda.

[preciselyfun]

This is a better job than my current position.

[manfrommars4]

anyone knows the music being played in the first 2 minutes ?



[jpo2084028]

Thanks for the geography lesson.

[Murcielago247]

HATERS GONNA HATE!! 15PEOPLE OWN A TOYOTA PRIUS

[TheMikeros]

very cool, and good work

[MultiMtb123]

it looks exactly the same as tho old one.

[rejuco]

@MultiMtb123 Because its under cover

[TheSquarelyCircle]

The location in the arctic isn't "secret" its Yellowknife NWT, Canada, I used to live there,the mine in the picture is Giant Mine, an abandon old gold mine. they test all kinds of cars there on the Ingraham trail, Porche, and BMW can be seen there every winter...

[JFDEZ599]

BEFORE I DIE I WILL OWN A 911

[AntonSlizzardhands]

Exciting car. Boring film.

[whiteribbonman1]

@AntonSlizzardhands Did you view the entire film? I found it fascinating! I also look VERY much forward to owning my first 911 Turbo!

[facestyle1000]

look up speed racen

[yoshidis4]

u wanna test your new car for failures?

give it to me for a week

[frankypoo723]

Nothing special about that. All auto makers do that. This is just another way for Porche to advertise their "special" car. In a near future, cars will be so complicated that you will need an engineer to fix them.

[mannyR37]

12 dislikes from Yugo owners lol

[jaredd624]

the hide badges at such with tape as if an onlooker couldnt tell it was a porsche 911 anyway not like the body has ever changed much

[jeep2003]

I dont get the whole deal about shrowding the cars in plastic before their introduction. that really just seems like a fad that all the manufacturers think is nessesary. like soneone is gonna steal their design or somthing? makes no sence

[rayzelking]

@MrSolidSnake84 hell yea, they were probably doing jumps with it, after all it is a test car

[JonathanCM1991]

One day........

[order9066]

That Porsche moves out like the british at Dunkrik!

[marcosbressan]

Right. Testing only on different climates and dusty roads with no cracks in it? I wish I could see real suspension tests in bad roads. These are not real tests. This is just a marketing movie about their engineers' vacation trips.

[jolichja]

@marcosbressan Dident you notice they were driving on gravel roads? isent it possible to imagine that gravel roads also has some holes and cracks? But why should they actually do it? this is a sports car not a pickup truck...

[plague1313]

I wish I could buy one

[restek36]

@plague1313 same goes to me...

[manuvdbrule]

So wonderful! Porsche, I love you!

[PcWizTechProductions]

Ha! I remember seeing a video of that 911 at the gas station no to long ago. And why do they say project "991" in the end, fail?

[XLR8Guitars]

@PcWizTechProductions 991 is the new generation of the 911's. tht is why they call them the 991 911's

[BigPapa2731]

@XLR8Guitars 991 was the project name, it is a 998 for the production model.

[TheSuperDaveStone]

cool video, but the not-so "secret" location is Yellowknife NWT, about 400km south of the arctic circle... check your facts porsche!

[Android80631]

i cried for two reasons: one, that its so beautiful and two, that ill never own one

[BuRyool]

Just in case a Porsche breaks down, there is a Chevy Suburban for the rescue. Chevy FTW

[JustKlickMe]

all i want to say about this video: ส็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็

[fecristiano231]

how do you become what they call a profesional driver what school do i go to?

[DriftkingS2K]

@fecristiano231 i guess it starts of a hobby-drivers that get professional ... if u are really interested u may look up the vita of tanner foust ... this may be interesting for you

[kennethyapyl]

This is why a Porsche can last 40 years. Thank you, Porsche.

[aykutmeGR]

Hahah they make a cover for the porsche, so that other don't see whats under, but really :D its a porsche xD everyone looks quiet the same xD

[NYCTeamZ]

@aykutmeGR thats true..lol

[bashir6789]

My dream car

[chenzo6]

@bashir6789 same dream

[ahmadmukhlis24]

Nice car.

[phantomloita]

J.F Musial did this didn't he?

[MichaelaFN]

789 IS MY NUMBER OF FORTUNE ;-)

[jimmyrx8]

just the best,911 always for me you are the best car

[tomarian83]

Ar trebui sa vina in Romania sa testeze suspensiile la soselele pe care le avem si piata ar avea ca sunt destui bogatani :))

[TheEgek]

everyone drives a porsche.. you got money = you drive porsche. Boring car for boring people..

[azzy144]

@TheEgek What's your idea of a good car then? And what makes Porsches boring?

[1918bibi]

@azzy144 The Porsche brand in general is prisonner of his own design for maybe 40 years. I Understand that Porsche made great cars, but they are more and more quite the same over the years: Sport cars for business people (maybe not for the GT2-GT3 models). The others fact is that the sophisticated electronics of the 911 make you loose some of the driving feeling that you love and find in the oldest 1980-1990 models. So, the new 911 is quite the same thing that the GTR, fast but a bit boring ;)

[xxmarc92xx]

@TheEgek

Mir scheint eher du verstehst nichts von Autos ?!

[hdgdmdrdl]

hab den Erlkönig gesehen bei uns in der Firma *_*

[atzenvsdude]

hol ich mir vll als zweitwagen , aber sonst so teuer ist der ja bestimmt nicht

[stadiohead]

@atzenvsdude bestimmt ^^

[MrRazorblood]

do porsche cars come RHD?

[azzy144]

@MrRazorblood Yes.

[Mohsen559]

This is the my dream car, I hope I will be able to purchase such car some day

[ElLuisManuel]

wow

[bodyboystance2]

German engineering <3

[FitimBmw]

Nice Car



[lolpranksta]

Why would you drive this beauty in the winter -.-

[xvjn216]

Love The Details and Hard Work That was Put Into this Beautifull Machinee

[renanulrich]

7 Ferrari Crew watched the video...

[shrimppimp91]

i cant wait till the come out,im forsure getting a black edition!

[darijopotter]

I wonder whether the Corvette engineers do this? I do not think so....

[fyaglidere]

I saw the prototypes of this car with camo and stuff at the mall there was at least 5 of them driving around. it was awesome.

[matiaspg7]

This video and Porsche inspired me, it give me passion and force to continue my studing and become an engineer!

Porsche is the inspiration of my life.

[Shuffle0815]

3:50 1337

[EVILSPAWN1000]

"Why do they test them under these extremes" The secret place in the arctic is Kiruna in sewden,i live in Norway with similar conditions and the ONLY supercar you`ll see in winter is 911`s and they run flawlessly.997 turbos runs like a....Toyota something.Try doing the same with a Lambo or a Ferrari 458....... They are supercars with the durability of a Toyota landcruiser

[Republic3D]

@EVILSPAWN1000 The Porsche winter testing grounds are in Arjeplog, Sweden. But in this video, they're testing them in Northern Canada. They have US license plates from Georgia, and you can see different types of American trucks in the background.

But I definitely agree about the quality. They beat even Lexus on some tests, and the pre-2006 generation comes out on top of all quality charts that I've seen.

[vtc4ever]

@EVILSPAWN1000 toyota landcruisers are very reliable, here in UAE "Dubai" you will see landcruisers everywhere...in summer tempretures reach up to 60 degrees Celsius....we take them to the desert and play with them forever...so u are wrong with ur phrase :)

[vitto]

finally..no huge ass. Now it looks way better.

[0711Home]

Super schöne Fahrzeuge.

Ich arbeite einfach für die falsche Firma 😲

[JedeMengeZeit]

einfach elegant

[TtimWh]

love the 991, very good looking, more 993 like shape, which is good!

[gaffel93]

Look at the clock at 5:52 and tell me what you see ;P

[jbvlp]

I'm from germany and the talked only about the intalisirung i dont what it names in english

[Maikiboy259]

Das ist der letzte 911 oder? Weil bei Grip meinten die das kein 911 mehr kommt sondern Porsche versucht was neues. Wenn ich falsch informiert bin bitte klärt mich auch :)

[Obdachlos123]

I never was so proud to be a German :D

[drewglis]

Love the music!

[GYMBOSSDEUTSCHLAND]

geiles video, schöne aufnahmen... aber liegt nun scheint die prio auf dem US-Markt zu liegen?!

[yiliceo11]

looks sweet, sounds powerful, drives smooth.

[TheHazeGuy]

its not just a porsche its a piece of art made from the greatest car building country on the world

[zonkdavid]

well thats not just porsche standart testing... thats german standard engineering.

[choco16bit]

Thing of beauty.

[ajupk12]

ver yvery cooooool

[jokkeje]

Maybe if I put this on the top of my wishlist, I'll be most likely to get one!

[Wisogetsned]

I live in Stuttgart there are so many porsches you can't count them

[djwhizproductions]

Cool car but I still can't get over how Nissan smashed it. Funny thing is, a lot of the highly priced cars are getting killed by cars that cost a fraction of the cost. Now that manufacturers are really concerned with making cars that last, including the economy, a lot of the higher priced car companies are up the creek!

[pivan23]

they are making porsche durable since 2012 will be global warming death year haha

[jinkis4]

i would give my both balls just to sit in this car!

[IAAGermany]

wow love Germany car

[berlin45ers]

how can i work to get this car?

[TheMarcJayson]

good to speak german to know what those engineers are talking... :)

[christianpier]

Everything is shaky and the video is boring. You could've told such a great story about this trips.

[gagaKoala]

@christianpier You are so right !!! Equipment in our days for DSLR,s is so good you can easily do better ones.... and they have the money to do this !

[popiscott]

@christianpier  +1

[fesen2]

I like the Porsche standard testing :)

[StuttgartBenz]

oh too bad, 2 users rated this video with their screen upside down.

[glaydots101]

Like if you live in Stuttgart! :D

[LetMrAL1]

I think any car manufacturer who goes through this just to fine tune their all wheel drive systems, traction control software and mechanical components is aiming at building the best quality, reliable and versatile sports car around.

[MrCcm4red]

i live in edmonton, canada; it gets pretty fucking cold here, and theres lots of 911's

[robertone2010]

@MrCcm4red you're lucky to live in the same city with takesomecrime !

[IrvyI]

Beatiful Car ...

[RevanofCorriban]

wow, what a car. sounds sweet, looks amazing and i'm sure that engine power wont disappoint me either. I'm not really a fan of the 911s optically, but that things look is so incredible, that i'd buy it without a 2nd thought if i could afford it.

nice vid btw, wish i could try that thing out there ;)

[AdangerousRETARD]

wow this one sounds 100x better then the previous generation

[badboy339543]

GERMAN CARS, BEST CARS ! :D

[TheMrStrahlemann]

I have to cry when i am thinking about that these cars have to be tested in a Crash Test

[FocusPics]

Perfect German Car ! 

[XmodGT1]

Porsche is the BEST CAR EVER, from Boxter... 911, Cayene, ETC. PORSCHE is GREAT! I LOVE PORSCHE

[iCodeine]

06:34 Jeremy Clarkson arrived ?

[iFrapsy]

Ich liebe Porsche / I love Porsche

Yes i'm a german

[30727592]

why do they put boiling water on the headlights... given their standards, shouldn't they just make headlights that won't crack at such cold temperatures?

[momoworld1]

The 911 is a legend and this video is a serious reminder of the legend it is and has been and how it got there. I cannot wait to become the owner of a 911, and drive it every single day so ill sum this up in two words, Porsche Rocks!

[h3nRyqL]

hahaha he says "as on a german autobahn". im german.. and i fkn didnt know that american people have an english word for our "highway" thats exactly written as our german word "Autobahn" :DD

[CadillacFly100]

2 dislikes - didn't know BMW owners could work a computer...

[JohnnylFreak]

german cars FTW :D

[gustavogpramos]

perfect

[lancetvance1994]

German Car's ;)

[smicka123]

7 speed manual....where is 7th ?

[cneedforspeed1]

this is a beautiful car

[iqbal55]

that was simply the most beautiful film i've watched in recent history. really didn't want the film to end :')

[leivbj]

Thank you Porsche! What a fantastic insight into the making of another legend :) I would love to see much more like this and the photography was superb!! Again, thank you!!

[JV44HeinzBar]

As an owner of a restored 1970 911T, this is the 1st 911(991) that has caught my attention in years. Don't get me wrong, I love all 911s; well, maybe not the 996, but every other 911. I've actually been stashing money away for a Boxster Spyder, but I may have to reconsider my goal. Unfortunately, $100k+ for the standard 991 will take a lot more time to save enough cash.

[TheNewSchoolGamer]

Well at least I know I can drive one of these during a Canadian winter :P

[Bazzaland]

Ha! I can do this in my '72 914 2.0.......nothing even comes close!!! >8*D

[cerb0881erus]

I think this is an excellent video because potential owners would feel like they're in good hands, regardless of the Porsche model (maybe?). It's also nice to see that design is not left behind despite technological advances/improvements.

[mrdragancelan]

If I had a Porsche 911, I'd make it my daily driver in a heartbeat. They were made for it. People that drive them just as summer cars make me sick.

[theoneandonlywicky]

So its a 2012 911 991....is this the car or the phone number you call to buy one?

[Slappy240]

I wish this video was an hour long, its to awesome for just 10 minutes.

[JasonScheier]

I may have cried.

[phatkix]

I'd rather have this car than ten of the most beautiful supermodels.

[AsianBaconNation]

This new car is remarkable. Even reading about it. I will state that I myself am not a Porschephile but the 2012 Type 991 is a big deal IMO. There's a LOT more to it than just a makeover.

[jamesmp5k]

You sold me.

[wwwYoSoy911com]

Wow! This is my dream job!!! Please, let me apply for it...

[RetBaron]

Porsche, please let those millions of boys dream about your cars in games like Gran Turismo and Forza series and pull off that meaningless and short-sighted EA exclusive contract.

[unknown19348]

The Porsche 911 is 100% undeniably my favorite car. That car is the official car people drive in Heaven.

[Tokyuuu]

Wow! 7 speed manual! I can't wait to see how it performs! <3 Porsche!

[aquosman99]

Dear Porsche, You have successfully made this 16 year old fully torqued. Good day.

[sapurvis]

There's only one. Porsche really is everyday. Thank you for this amazing film. The 911 is, has always been my only dream car.

[16bmidniterfoxo]

Please bring back Porsches to Gran Turismo and Forza !

[roundpeach420]

I would give my left nut for this car, actually i would probably give my right one too who needs kids if you have a Porsche?

[Kaffstadtrevier]

@roundpeach420

[DannyVainOfficial]

Porsche 911 in 2025 should test it on mars :D

[EduWestCoastRap]

@DannyVainOfficial they probably will lol

[WonderTracks]

.Please, please, please, please, please remove those led lights

[PlayerHaterBall]

@vvysoc

Noo we dont build them...their all transformers -.-

[pseudoartiste]

Beautiful cars, beautiful video. Absolutely beautiful

[SilentTalent]

Thats why I'm studying this. I hope, I will once work for Porsche.

[Interventionist1000]

can i test 1 too? :3

[rocketpunch12210]

So, what's the story about using a Chevy as a support van? Cayenne too unreliable??? LOL

[ChevyManDan77]

@lamdo23tech

Mechanical engineers. 

[JamieStevenson1]

The Arctic Circle one is in Canada. One of the engineers' Canada Goose jacket gives it away.

[lamdo23tech]

I WANNA BE A ENGINEER WHEN I GROW UP! WHAT TYPE OF ENGINEERS ARE THESE!

[pseudoartiste]

@lamdo23tech Product Designer + Mechanical Engineer + Electrical Engineer and years of experience in the car design research and engineering industries.

[LetMrAL1]

@lamdo23tech Mechanical Engineering

[ABSjazz]

Great video, really loved the high quality documentary style production. And of course, an absolutely gorgeous car.

[djmervizzzy]

POrsche all day!!!

[TheCfumad]

911 my love!!!!!!

also thums up for the Ford(the suv behind the 911 in cold condition)

[jimmyrx8]

Just the best!!!!!!

[MatiKase]

I will have one, one day !

[TheJannw]

German Engineering is the best ;D
