[marky2112]

Such excellent footage.

[DHREVOLUTION]

that thing is pure sex

[dirtydonki]

I love my 911

[levirolla]

Got to drive one. Loved it, Fast as Fux. PDK is great. I'll get a used one

[jayman81424]

there really is no other than Porsche......my dad has a Carrera 4 and man that thing is amazing....(lets me drive it every now and then).......yes you will not always get the admiring looks when you are next to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini but guess what ...thats why i love it sooo much...its different..its not the typical mid engined European.......its a rear engined monster and now an icon

[xray707]

I agree these things are too expensive. It means only a very few can afford these.

[cardude1992]

i wish it was cheaper.

[leafrunner123]

@cardude1992 buy it used

[timmy1eric]

@cardude1992 It costs more than 200.000 here in my country ......and it's the price without any other options on the car !! Still, many people here think it's worth the price and it definitely is.

[cardude1992]

man why does it cost 100.000 dollars? its too expensive.

[emceefocus]

@cardude1992 no it's not. if you get one, you'll see how worth it it is..

[jgiahi75]

my mom has this car but different color its ok i wish she gets a carrera 4s she got hers customed from germany

[Weiko1998]

thumbs up if 911 turbo is better

[CarSpotsBelgium]

@Weiko1998 Maybe you should take a look at the price difference. really idiotic comment...

[batmanyey]

oh yeah, indeed, this will definitely be my next car ;)

[NinjaManJames]

gotta get a stick

[ChocolateBear865]

its an automatic... so its lame

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@ChocolateBear865 you're lame because you talk out of your arse..

[FluffMuffTater]

@ChocolateBear865 Coming from a kid who has probably never driven a car

[sidhucer00789]

was there any difference in the 3.6l engine? Im looking at a 2007

[phantomloita]

brake and downshift early for the corner, then early throttle as soon as hit the apex and use the superior rear engine rear drive grip to get you out the corner. That's how you're spose to drive a 911

[Desmonddd2002]

hes the only smart american car reviewer I have saw. 

[mr1200miles]

thumbs up if u would get a porsche no thumbs if u would get a bmw m3

[acuratlnigga]

I bought one for 35 grand cash

[Supcharged]

I strongly agree with KeraiaanNasi! I have the same case!

[harveythepilot]

0:47 i came 

[tomalotube]

my uncle has this :D

[TheFlamingRazor]

@tomalotube Same here! Im getting i ride in it today!

[allah211]

I LOVE THAT COLOR

[0248959]

@allah211 are you being sarcastic?

[allah211]

@0248959 no! i absolutely adore the forest green porsches and lotuses

[slickvick456]

as much as I think that the 911 is brilliant, they should do something about the design. They all look so similar! And the front looks like a Beetle.

[garyO6O]

I did i frontflip over one of these!!!

[Multiincoming]

I WHANT IT

[Corvette90100]

The back looks great, but the front of this looks ugly!! It looks like the Volkswagen Beetle from the front!!

[therookie93]

@Corvette90100 Wrong. The Beetle looks like the 911. They took the look originally from Porsche. We're just so used to seeing those common Beetles go by with their 4 cylinder engines and girlish styling. The original 911 looked similar to the one in this video and that was over 40 years ago. It can't possibly change nor should it.

[amoran94]

God could this Guy be anymore boring

[dorko4ever]

@4:44 he says we had a gay great time

[lollylalala]

the rear is the sexiest thing ever!

[fullyflared16]

should i get an 06 911 s or a 2010 s5

[Atzold1]

@fullyflared16

The s5 would cost in 3 years much less! the 911 "the same" as like today;)

AND: 911 S is another league;)

[vinaykumarfiero]

Porsche 911 Carrera S is the best. Cars come and disappear, But this just goes on. I'd love to see it in production always

[0248959]

Isn't that guy a famous actor? Well, obviously not that famous seeing that I can't remember his name but he looks awfully familiar!

[neighborhoodmotors]

love the sound of that flat six! there may be other, newer sports cars but nothing is like a 911.

[MarcinM592]

anyone know the MPG? highway and city

thanks

[sushlet]

1:00 VTEC

[ltwimberly]

I've got a Carrera Turbo and it it'll go 0-60 faster than you can slice butter with a hot knife. I wouldn't give it up for the world! :)

[Atzold1]

@ltwimberly

"Carrera Turbo" LOL... what is that?? You ve got a Carrera ... OR ... you have a Turbo!

[ellisfreedman]

@Atzold1 Incorrect

[Atzold1]

@ellisfreedman

Its correct! A 911 Carrera has not a Turbo!!! A 911 Turbo -the name is 911 Turbo too, has got two Turbo...

[PorschephileMotronic]

@Atzold1 the proper name for the vehicle is the Porsche Carerra 911 Turbo. carerra- spanish for race, 911- the model number ( orig. suppose to be the 901 but some shitty french company had the rights to the x0x model designation0 and Turbo- it has two big hair dryers. Before you insult someone make sure you are not insulting you own intelligence or lack there of

[Atzold1]

@PorschephileMotronic NO FALSE!!! "911 Turbo" is the name of the 911, which has two Turbo...A "911 Carrera" NEVER!!! has a Turbo... Ein "911 Carrera" hat NIEMALS einen Turbo!! Auch ein "GT3" hat NIEMALS einen Turbo. Nur der "911 Turbo" und der "GT2" haben Turbolader!!! Models from Porsche "911" WITHOUT Turbo: -911 Carrera (S) -911 GT3 with (2) Turbo: - 911 Turbo - 911 GT2 PS: I am Mechanic by Porsche in Zuffenhausen, so i know what i am talking about.

[tudungsenduk]

@Atzold1

Is the sports button on the carerra s an option or standard?

[Atzold1]

@tudungsenduk

i think its standard!!

PS: PDK cost ~3.000€ more

[tudungsenduk]

@Atzold1

Thanks for the info. Do you own one?

[Atzold1]

@tudungsenduk

No, i had a 996 Carrera, Modell 2002 (with 3,6 L engine an 320hp = not so much problems like the 3,4 L,300 Hp engine from ´98 - 2001/2)!

But know i have another hobby, my family;))

[tudungsenduk]

@Atzold1

Is there a lot of difference between PDK and triptronic? Thanks.

[Atzold1]

@tudungsenduk

Tiptronic is the item of porsche for automatic with the option to shift the gears with the hand! (with PDK or without it)

PDK is a gear-box with twin-clutch-gear-box, its the same as like DSG from VW (another "word")

sorry for bad english

[clubheadxtasy2]

i would sell my soul for a 911

[babymegatron]

wow great camera setups!

[t0nno]

I WANT IT. I DONT WANT IT TO HAVE IT, I WANT IT BECAUSE MY SKILLS DESERVE IT! yea

[TheLotusBlooms]

Porsche is genius. Irrestible status symbol. Sexy Body. And even if you buy the son of a bitch right off the showroom floor, 6 months later they release a porsche that pisses on your old one. Hahah brilliant

[hadabenz]

I've taken a drive in this PDK Carrera S, my colleague owned it, the quality is soooo solid. and anyone who thinks 385 horsepower is not enough, should really consider a test drive. Superb car.

[ZCP1364]

lol my dream car right there. dark grey. black rims. black interior MMMMMMM lol

[Pimpinaintezy]

nothin compares to to the of a flat 6

[indestructible419]

at what rpm do you shift?

[KBryant24LAL]

man.. i still use my bike..

[AVIV222]

twin turbo mor power lwss fuel less wheight more torque

just like the normal 911 but better in evrithing

[brystar2]

reminds me of my 202 torana gtr xu1 4.4 secs 100 km whitch my beast mates got same deal or love the new raspy gt3 but

[Kethtgi]

..I still love my '85 Carrera 3.2. Hard lines and verrry basic. Raw, if you will.

[SeEsAw121221]

That tire view around the track is a total mind-fuck

[FroopieLoopies]

can anyone tell me why porsches are so underpowered?? you would think with their superior engineering as well as their healthy price tag that you would get more horses.

[SeEsAw121221]

@FroopieLoopies are you not at all pleased with their performance!?!?

[FroopieLoopies]

@SeEsAw121221 Their performance is great; however, to me they seem to be a bit underpowered when compared to other super cars. They remind me of the old school ducatis (pre 1098); beautiful, well made, perfectly balanced machines...just underpowered thats all

[SeEsAw121221]

@FroopieLoopies Dude, you should check out the 2011 911 Turbo.. The Carrera models are made as only sports cars..

The new 911 Turbo is the car you've been waiting for.

[FroopieLoopies]

@SeEsAw121221 No you are correct--I would love to have turbo. All that power, grace and elegance; I dont excatly have 140k to get one though lol

[PorschephileMotronic]

@FroopieLoopies under powered? the 2010 carerra 911 turbo s does 0-60 in under three seconds with less hp the an corvette zr-1,

[Rockit181]

gorgeous car, Porsche fan for life

[cesarubiatch]

4:44 "We had a gay time" lmfao

[naplesforever1992]

yeeeeeeee

[theuncanspan]

owners like you no thank you i own nothing lmao

[ryu1036]

this is a lovely car. im gonna pick up a used 2002 porsche 911. these cars are great.

[FrozenViews]

sexy.....

[jwatwater]

This car is siiiiiiiiiiick. and anyone who thinks a 911 shuld look any differnt frm how they look is insane. its a Porsche.

and this car sounds AMAZING.

[epicboiii]

dude when you're actually in the car.. oh my god...

[esca8652]

@jwatwater I agree...car sounds like music to my ears :)

[apunk015]

@jwatwater I think people who want the 911 to look different are pretty sane, I don't see what it being a Porsche has to do with anything...

[MagicLewisForever]

Hmm I'm not convinced on the 911 yet, it looks pretty ugly compared with the 993

[cafface]

PDK is just another trendy manu-matic that you'll have to learn how to use and keep maintained at quite a cost if you buy this generation Porsche. Stick with a classic manual. It'll keep granny out from behind the wheel and they're easier to maintain.

[bobrec3GTI]

@cafface youre totally right

[imagskl]

Oh the sound of that flat-6 is just wicked!

[Tweaks2500]

This thing fucking rips.

Holy shit.. I'm speachless, i'm planning on buying a used 911 Carrera s sometime soon..

[FartOnPinecones]

@Tweaks2500 Do it. I have a guardsmen red 08 Cabrio S and it is absolutely fantastic. Try to find one with the adaptive sport seats they are worth the money.

[MrPierrestam]

just get a manual gearbox

[MrPierrestam]

the pdk systeem is a loud of nonsense

[compdude47]

That guy looks vaguely like Owen Wilson.

[MacAppleJack]

Drove one today, a 4s PDK man that car is "just sick" me and the salesman were just laughing over the power this car has took it to 83mph in like 5sec. alot of power but i still like my manuel its just fun to drive where as the pdk is about big power. ....it's still sick!

[Kunibert1997]

ja die deutschen autos :D

*träum*

[rocknrollman1234]

Personally I think it's kinda ugly, but with a Wicked 7 bodykit, it looks super badass.

[alphie10]

shit this shit is sexy....luvin the rims

[cptcolo]

direct injection causes more turbulence in the combustion chamber resulting in a quicker and better mixture of the air and petrol

[livebyreason]

utaw???

[mrLECHOO]

this is 4WD or RWD ?

[rviradia]

s is rear, 4s is 4wd

[ibcarrera]

911s are beautiful and sexy, you could have a C2S under 80k GBP with a bunch of options, it definitely isn't cheap, but comparing with V8 vantage and M6,even R8, it is a bargain.

[bborgesjr]

meu sonho de consumo! my sleep consummer. BORGES sucess

[ChiPpification]

HONDA NSX TYPE-R is the BEAST

[skbuoy]

911 are very expensive when they have exactly 0 miles on them. Put a couple of thousand miles, their values drop. I reckon to buy a used 911 with like 10k or less miles. That will save about $10-20k.

[0051702]

3:47 look you have a vending machine as well !

[outonguard]

hahaha, nice.

[FL174]

o the sound.... THE SOUND!!!

[911myporsche]

the exhaust sounds brilliant.

[KerajaanNasi]

should I get a 911 Carrera or Carrera S? I'm not sure, cuz in my country they are helluva expensive.

911 Carrera = RM 850 000 (US$241 717.02)

911 Carrera S = RM 950 000 (US$270 154.32)

Is the Carrera more fuel efficient than the Carrera S?

[XavierAJones]

That car only cost $87,000 in the USA

[KerajaanNasi]

I know, my country tax damn crazy

[xbox3601236isbest]

its msrp is. but u cant find 1 at a dealer for that price

[carGT111]

thats only a carrera stripped no options

if you get the options and a 4s or S

you'd end up on 110s

[oldirtybastard213]

lmao... are you fuckin kidding me ?

You should fly to Germany and buy the damn car yourself. A 911 isnt supposed to be over 140 000 USD

[KerajaanNasi]

Yeah but the car had to stay in Germany for about 3 years to be sure the price dropped, so when I want to ship it to my country the tax is low.

[sexybobification]

if i were u i would go for the carrera, it has a better ride quality than the s and if u can find one with the sport plus option it would 0-60 faster than s and will save close to 10k(as in usd currency). that is wat my dad did and he is much happy with carrera over the carrera s

[KerajaanNasi]

Thanks. Anyways, since the price between 911 and Boxter is like over 100K USD difference in my country, I feel like I'd go for the Boxter, cuz by the time I get the money for my country's overtaxed cool cars, I might not need a 4-seater anymore.

Is there a hard-top version of the latest Boxter models? If not, then I have to go for the Cayman, which is about 30K USD more expensive in my overtaxed country

[bsg1206]

The Cayman is the hardtop version of the Boxter.

[KerajaanNasi]

Yes but it is not convertible. I want a hardtop convertible, for example, the Mercedes SLK series.

Nvm I think I found one hardtop Boxster.

[JLchevz]

@KerajaanNasi

2010 bmw z4 wait for the new z4m i suggest, or if you are ok with 306 hp of the great bmws engine then go for it youll love it

[KerajaanNasi]

For some reason, I can only be satisfied with a Porsche. When below 13 I loved Porsche then liked other cars, and back to Porsche again no matter how many cars I looked at and strived hard to lable it 'cool'.

For me, they seem to live up to their "Porsche, there is no substitute" phrase.

[JLchevz]

well i guess you are right... after 6 years the bmw will be just an old z4, and the porsche will always be the same you know what i mean??? it has never changed in 50 years (well of course actualizations etc) or maybe you can try a SL mercedes

[canemcanem]

shut the FUCK up !

[rviradia]

I was thinking the same thing about everyday ride quality, anyone know how the ride on a Carrera with 19" Carrera S Wheels

[jgaggy]

well your dad never owned the S thats why he thinks hes happy

[skizzle94]

that porsche looks great!

[TITOZISKITO]

fake

[sandcut1]

What's fake?

TITOZISKITO

[SHCConker]

911 is counted as sports car right?

[plutonium9]

minivan actually

[themotocrossman83]

its counted at a supercar

[luteplayer666]

lol he almost said "WE HAD A GAY TIME" lmao

[k9forkids]

if james bonds aston martin would break down which im sure it already has, he drive this car

[MrYougotjohn]

i have an 06 and i want an 09,,, yes, I want it instead of an R8 or M3. You can't match the Porsche road feel, styling, daily driver and cache, It really has it all...until you can afford a Ferrari... then maybe... but 911 is the understated super car. M3 is so Camry.

[amer1cancer2753]

How could you call the M3 a camry compared to the Porsche. I mean I am a die hard Porsche fan but for the value a BMW M3 is way better than the Porsche Carrera S. More horsepower better weight distribution. The porsche's engine is in the back which means the center of gravity is placed in the back. Try to make a high speed U-Turn.

[MrYougotjohn]

good points... you're right. i would say the intangible for porsche is the road feel and how it feels to stay low to the ground with all that power... i tested BMW's and they do everything great, but lack the race car feel. but i agree with your points.

[amer1cancer2753]

Well, the BMW M3 most definitely has a disadvantage to the Porsche because Porsche had 50 years to improve on their 911 series and that is why they are known for there brakes, engine, reliability, and a car with the best driving feel.

[Jay12341235]

lolz they're all nice

[Descartes619]

@MrYougotjohn amen bro. m3 is for bimmer boys. i put it in the same class as suburus and evos.

[Bot944]

@MrYougotjohn if you dont want the 06 ill have it

[minibus1351]

@MrYougotjohn Holy shite. This is what I exactly think. Some people might say R8 looks better but considered everything, 911 hands down.

[23GrandMasterK]

@MrYougotjohn Have you driven an M3?

[MrYougotjohn]

@23GrandMasterK No, I raced one a few months ago and we were dead even off the line... but taking the porsche through windy roads and turns... it has great road feel that i doubt you can get in a Bimmer. But it costs much more so it is different.

[kenpec]

911 is faster, but i like audi r8 better!

[diztorcion666]

i think i'd pick the 911 because it's a bit more practical i guess but the audi is WAY preetier

[Jetara]

OK, to the "Porsche and BMW Club" Guy that own´s a 25 year old 4 Zylinder....

The next Carrera will definetly have a flat six, whoever at "Porsche" secretly told you something else is simply wrong. And those engine problems of the 996/986 have nothing to do with watercooling, just with the new engine block and crankshaft that was introduced with those modells. Would have happend also if they have been aircooled.

Porsche Club...yeah!

[conundrum78]

Damn 100k though? A used 997 Turbo will run less!

[tidewater]

Find me one. Doubt you will...

[pacsum]

That's part of the reliability of the 911. The water cooling equation is out so the engine is simpler and more reliable. Most engine problems come from the gasket due to watercooling.

I would love to see a mid engined 911 but it would have to be watercooled.

[euro944t]

I see many 996 engines swapped, many by factory recall. Seems 996 with miles worth about $20k max. to those they know about the problems. Don't drive a 993 on highway and oil cokes hot and gunks engine, unspent fuel coats valves etc, like a RX7TT turbo w/o timer added to cool off becomes trashed turbos and seals kill engine. Low mile 993 driven in city is recipe for engine rebuild. 993 made for highway folks, not a city car.

[euro944t]

You knew 911 would go water cooled in 1999 ? How many years before did you foretell that one ?

911 S changed complete engine 4X since 2000. 3.4L, 3.6L, 3.8L, then Direct Injection. The rear eng is not for long sadly.

[jose7777777777777777]

what do u say about the new 998 they are testing. that' rear engined

[euro944t]

It's Top Secret R&D

If I tell you, I have to shoot you [grin]

[jose7777777777777777]

hehe

[PianistKid09]

looks way better than the 2010 panamera :(

[autofusion333]

I checked out the local pricing on the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S in my area (Long Beach)... Circle Porsche has them going for $95,200.. I thought that was pretty good considering that it's fairly rare that you see a brand new Porsche for under 100K!

[euro944t]

1998 C2S was $75k. Today used is $40k.

[suhaas307]

great gearbox and technology but still needs improvement.. its not the best thing to use! a regular 6 speed H gate shifter would always feel top notch!

[chrismd7]

Suhaas307...I agree with you about prefering a manual gearbox. It is definitely more engaging. The only problem I see is that these new dual clutch transmissions move through the gears faster than even a professional driver. That's why these automatics are faster to 60 and faster in the 1/4 mile compared to their manual couterparts. Basically, it's a trade-off either way.

[suhaas307]

its great! its fastand quite accurate but somehow doesn't feel intuitive and involving enough.. great technology though.. and somehow i love that porsche racing green.. i was never a fan of green on cars except on Jags but this colour looks great.. reminds me of the older 993 air cooled 911..

[euro944t]

That revised '99 996 dash is weak sauce.

R8 got 997TT on interior for sure.

The 370z at autoshow, has alcantara and sweet gauges, it blew away Box and Cayman non S. I was shocked. Porsche is slipping on int since 1998, maybe 993's were the last "Real" 911 ?

Rumor mill is that 911 is done, AG has exhausted their talent from 6cy. Hint, look for baby Carrera GT mid eng in few years. And front eng v10 & V8 Panamera coupe.

Last of 911 we are looking at, sad the Int. is 2nd to Nissan

[jose7777777777777777]

are you fucking serious? how stupid can you get!

[euro944t]

Porsche Tech of America told me 2yrs ago 911 line is done, Leman's commentators hinted that 3.8L is biggest Porsche will go in 911, next will be V8.

This is the last of flat 6 911, enjoy it .

You drive Porsche ?

You pretending to be smart or just smart ass ?

[jose7777777777777777]

mayb the flat 6 but not the carrera. it's their main car
