  • The spoilers on the trunk, a whale tail because they look like a whales tail, you know a whale from the ocean. They are one of my favorite spoilers on a sports car. Check out like a early 90's porsche 911 turbo model and look at the spoiler, I personaly think thats what caught my attention to its attractiveness the most.

  • I like the whale tales on the spoilers. I am not a porsche owner because I am poor, but I think what attracts me to the sports car is the famous whale tale. Is porsche going to be adding those to there models or will that be a aftermarket item?

  • @focusSVT02 srry but what do u mean whale tails?

  • Italian cars are still yummier than the German ones e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati.

  • What's the name/artist of the music at the beginning?

  • why the creepy music??

  • It has 400 bhp...

  • I love it when Motortrend does technical reviews on Porsche cars. Just a pleasure to watch.

  • 350k WTF is wrong with you man? It will still be priced right at about $110k nicely equipped

  • Wait a sec... Is this whole video made of pictures?

  • it needs more lights on the side, you can barely see that thing in the dark

  • Porsche is the best german sports car manufacturer. They really now how to make their car's. This is probably the best body style yet. "Thumbs up if you agree"

  • MUSIC is LUV! Youtube/REGGIEWRITEOUS

  • 350HP? 1000$ per HP?

  • @afr126 The car is not worth $350,000 :\

  • My Kia forte koup sx looks better than that... but don't have that power lol

  • @dhruvilshah30 LOL! A Kia?! Get out hahahahah.

  • Comment removed

  • Porsche is the greatest and will continue to be, think about it porsche is now owned by volkswagen, who owns audi, who owns lamborghini and bugatti, the engineering excellence of all these great automakers is shared, which is y u get incredible cars like the lamborghini aventadora, and 911 turbo s, both of which can do a 2.9 0-60 and 10.7 1/4 mile. Spin the clock back 3 years ago and those were the same performance numbers of a Bugatti Veyron. Hail Porsche 911 or shall i say Buporscheghini 911?

  • " it looks exactly the same...uhm.. let me try to convince you that it is different."

  • Porsche needs to man up and swallow their pride and either give the 911 the cayman platform OR give the cayman 911 power. Then for some serious insanity, make a AWD version. They would ABSOLUTELY SLAY the competition and make a MMMMUUUUCCHHHH more desirable car. Face the music Porsche, you gave the obviously superior setup to your lower level car instead of your flag ship....

  • anybody talking shit about the 911 can go suck a big one....rear engine this..understeer that..if you havent noticed they have addressed these problems quite well.....the engine is now a few inches in...wider front track to which many have said help with the understeer dramatically......cant wait for the 991 turbo/ gt3 to come out so it can shut these idiots up. i understand if you dont like the 911...but you do have to give it some respect.....

  • Now This is a G00d car lesson

  • Oh geeze.. Not more GT-R fan boys here too?

    Look,at the end of the day, your GT-R is just Nissan and for the money there is no way I'm putting down a 100k on a Nissan. I don't care how fast it is.

    Speed isn't everything. If KIA made a car faster than the GT-R would you drool for it too? I wouldn't have the POS in my drive way. Give me a Porsche, Audi, BMW or Benz any day over a silly Nissan.

  • @Dogurasu Whats bad with the GT-R? It also has history like the 911.

  • Gtr lover = Wannabe kids who don't know anyshits about car

    911 fans = Good boys who knows what is a great car, not a shitty japanese

  • SOMEONE ANSWER THIS PLEASE...which type of car would have better handling to drive at a very high speed.... A car that is real wheel Drive, or All Wheel Drive?

  • Can't understand why anyone would buy this car when you could get a pre owned 911 turbo for the same price.

  • Cant wait for a comparison test between the upcoming Turbo and the 2012 GTR!

  • Can't wait for the full review if this was just a 'First Look'.

  • Great preview!! Love the facts!

  • They are really trying hard to reach perfection. Every generation they move everything closer to the middle, so one day the 911 will become a mid engined car.

  • Boring as fuck. I could have read all of that in a magazine. that's not why we, car enthusiasts, watch car videos...

  • @ibizalover2000 its a "first look", they havnt done all that stuff yet

  • I wonder if MT will give the C7 and the '13 Viper the same level of attention and presentation when they are available.

    I want the same level of "what you think" than "It's a new C7. End video" or "It's a new Viper. End video". It's been almost a decade I want a show.

  • I love how the 911 design never stops being classy and sexy :D

  • man who unliked this video is Jeremy Clarkson... lol

  • I know it hurts porsche fans! but we all know that the 911 is the GTR biitch's

  • @luisotero2 lolll Ya its why the gt2 rs DESTROYS it.

  • Comment removed

  • @luisotero2 GTR -> For people that buy cars only by looking at the stat sheet ("oh, it's .2 seconds faster from 0-60, let's buy it"). For people that don't care about driving dynamics or characteristics. For people that don't care about a high quality luxury interior. For people that don't care about passion or soul. And let's not forget, for people that can't afford a 911.

    Or, to sum it up, the 911 is for the car enthusiast. The GTR is not.

  • to bad im poor :(

  • god i love porsche

  • cool car..

  • yawn

  • Beetle?

  • This car looks STUNNING in yellow. WOW that's a gorgeous car. Interior looks great too. I'm wondering if they will offer the sport bucket seats in the non GT models though. I build a new Carrera S the other day, and the sport bucket seats were not an option, where as on the old model, they were. Any idea on this?

  • Look great

  • I'd take the standard 911. The classic base model. No flared arches, no 20'' wheels, no spoilers, wings and stuff. THE 911. That's the best to me.

  • @Mawerik024 I wish I could say the same, but the twitchy, high speed over-steer of the 911 has me preferring a Cayman. Even Porsche knows the Cayman is a superior design, the greatest improvement of the new 911 is that it is... more like the Cayman.

  • @Chace1126 If I'd have a 911 this would not bother me. I think of it as a grand tourer, an all-round gentleman express, not just a sportscar. So high speed oversteer would be not my point. For hardcore driving I'd have a Ferrari. Or, better still, a Lotus Elise

  • @Mawerik024 I see what you are saying. But the Cayman/Boxster loaded with options is relatively the same price, faster, much better handling, (convertible), a boot, is more fuel efficient, with an almost identical interior, ect... What are you buying when you buy a 911? 30 more hp, dangerous (See Ryan Dunn) and obsolete design? Classic feel and a penis? Porsche knows this, and this update is an attempt to fix that with 10 more hp and a slow move from RR to MR to keep the car competitive.

  • @Chace1126 yep..agreed dude.  \|||/

  • @Chace1126 If I want to be sensible instead I'll get a diesel Golf. This is all about self-satisfaction, sensation and nothing that can be measured. For me there's no context for a comparison with the Cayman (which is, in my opinion, quite ugly). If you put that this way the entire Porsche brand has no point existing due to the existence of the Nissan GTR, which is a better car in every measurable way (don't even count cayenne and panamera)

  • @Mawerik024 What self satisfaction will a 911 give you that a different, more modern design of a Porsche can not? I bought my Porsche for the sensation it gives me when I experience the cars unparalleled ability to cut a smooth line through a corner, the burble of the flat 6 as it revs in to its power band and the metallic scream all the way to the red line. To say that the Cayman is ugly is to say that the Carrera is only beautiful because of ventilation below the rear window. I don't see how..

  • the GTR, a 2 ton, 4 seater, awd, twin turbo v6 with almost double the price tag of a Boxster S is competition with the cars I am discussing. Put your way, an STi is direct competition for the BMW Z4... which doesn't make sense. The only point I am trying to make is that Porsche has made the Boxster/Cayman so well that they have overshadowed the 911, and that the base 911 had become uncompetitive in the market and against itself.

  • that look likes a banana pudding.. so sweet..

  • what a car ...god damn i wish i was loaded right now id be signing the contract asap

  • it looks like a porsche lol

  • Look at all the body styling changes! oh wait...

  • how come any car vid with a british guy is so much better?

  • @Jspang16 He's Australian. Clear accent difference, don't know how American keep screwing that up.

  • @Jspang16 are you talking about jeremy clarkson

  • @Jspang16 Actually mate he's an Aussie. It's Angus McKenzie who used to be the senior editor for Wheels Magazine in Australia. Wheels is one of the world's oldest and most respected car magazines and he held that job down for a while. So props to see an Aussie at the helm of one of the USA's biggest mags. :)

  • People mentioning gtr piss me off yes their nice and stuff but it only makes tht much horse power because its turbo charged this porsches are all naturally aspirated except for the turbo with 500hp. Then yes this obe guy made it 0-60 in 2.9 sec who gives a shit it wasnt you driving and your arent going to do that anyways

  • wow, thats the way a camera should film those cars !!!!!

  • Beetle

  • Porsche could not have done this more right.

  • Beetle

  • @TopRated123 lolol stupid troll you are so wrong its hilarious

  • simply, beautiful! how much does it cost?

  • Beetle

  • @TopRated123 wow what an original comment...NOT

  • classy

  • Beautiful! Im an Audi fan, but this car is amazing! Love it. I could drive it anytime!

  • the seven people who dislike this are either blind or dumb!

  • I'm disappointed in the styling of the tail lights... Dont get me wrong, they're beautiful.. but Porsche ripped it off Aston Martin... I would expect such a stunt from Hyundai or Kia but not from Porsche!

  • best @motortrend review

  • Remember when EVERY music video had a Justin Bieber comment in it no matter what? GTR now = Justin Bieber. No matter what car video you watch, there's always a whiny crybaby dragging in the word GTR every car video even into Hyundai videos.

  • @zoics1 chuck norris is everywhere too..lol

  • I'm dying for a mid engined V8 Porsche. When is the 960 coming!

    - Mina

  • Yeah this new 911 is HOT, much better than the last 20 or so. GREAT!

  • Another car that government workers can afford. Who else is going to be buying these?

  • Love dis car..

  • Excellent informative video

  • Comet from GTA 4

  • REALLY like the direction Porsche is going in, Only a couple more years still im able to afford this.

  • Love the new 911 Interior.

  • 7 speed manual? wtf. I love mauals, but that might be a little to much. next thing you know it's ganna be 8 speed manual

  • @kezboy1 Why too much? As far as I know the 7th gear is just there for fuel saving reasons. The top speed is still achieved in 6th gear. 7th gear is a long ratio overdrive gear for floating along the highway at high speeds but very low RPMs -> huge fuel savings.

  • So gtr all day??

  • Ive always thought these were ugly

  • Hitler would have drove this

  • It comes in yellow.

    Car of the year!

  • On hockenheim short circuit, the new Porsche 911 Carrera s (400 HP) did it in 1:10.4, while the new nissan GTR (530 HP) did it in 1:10.0 (sports auto test) so the porsche has 140 HP less,but it still matches the GTR, so stop saying that the gtr is the best and shit becasue it is not, and by the way the nissan looks so crappy next to the porsche (interior quality, etc...) ♥ German engineering...

  • @mxaxh1 Still, you can't deny the value for money of the GTR performance-wise. Although porsches are so very sexy...

  • @mxaxh1 The GTR has more horse power cause the car all in all weighs quite a bit more than the Porsche. I'll hand it to you that the Porsche interior is hands down a winner, you do need to give credit where credit is due.

  • Comment removed

  • @mxaxh1 i agree 100% with you but 530 - 400 is 130...not 140 lol

  • @mxaxh1 I love it when people you "facts" to make a point.

    First off, the gtr is faster than the turbo S, which is its direct competitor on that same exact track (1:10:90)

    It is also faster than the gt3.

    You also forgot to mention that the fastest car is a 398hp donkervoort @760kg. What does this tell us, the track is more suited to light weight super handling cars. Truth be told the gtr is by far the heaviest of the bunch and still faster than its nearest competitor.

  • @mxaxh1 I like Porsche but you're forgetting the GTR seats 5, and has a usable trunk and more interior space all around. You're kind of comparing a Mustang to a Corvette -- apples and oranges. Both of these cars are brilliant in their own respective ways, but even if the GTR came -04 secs ahead, it's still the winner. In the world of racing, .0001 seconds is still a win.

  • @mxaxh1 yeah but the nissan is more recognisable,and about half the price? to a normal person a porsche is a porsche and only people who know their cars like us will know the differences.

  • @mxaxh1 Whoops, the Viper ACR set the record at the Nurburgring with a 7:12.13. That's an American car, on German soil, whooping everyones ass including Germany's. What was that again about German engineering? 'Merica, fuck yeah.

  • @mxaxh1 the GT-R is a lot faster than this car in fact you can buy a 370z install a 6000 turbo and is cheaper and faster yet better handling

    and the quality in the gt-r is about the same as this porsche if not better

  • @mxaxh1 You're absolutely right. Plus this has a manual gearbox, RWD, and sells a hell of a lot better. I love this car. The GTR's too expensive for what it is and get's way too much hype from people.

  • @Buttnut105 the gt-r is limited to 1000 units per month and even if the name is a nissan trust me a lot ofengineering hours and testing where put into this car

    i love the sound ,quality and looks of the porsche but as an everyday driver i feel more confident goin fast in the gt-r than in a rear engine porsche

    my fav porsche for the street is the 911turbo,the cayenne the fastest suv in the world,the gt-3 sound lover,fun,fun,fun

  • @tinleo333 The difference between the 911 and the GTR is that the 911 manages to have modern technology in its nature while still being very communicative, while being a driver's car. Plus the GTR was built purely for track use, for lap times. The 911 can do track work and feel like it was meant to but still be a good GT car, canyon carver, and everyday driver. That's what the Porsche 911 is. It's everything.

  • @Buttnut105 still amazing car anyways if we talk best driver car the lexus LF-A or ferrari 458 italia can do the job better 911 turbo is lazy now gt-3 or gt-2 oe carrera gt or cayman R are driver car

  • @tinleo333 The 458 Italia is my favorite car but the new 991, the E46 M3 CSL, CLK Black Series, DBS, Zonda F, Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder, they're all up there too. My problem with the GTR is it's too focused on being the fastest around a track. A great car should have the right balance of looks, engineering, handling, sound, luxury, and speed; the GTR's too pegged on the latter.

  • @Buttnut105 drive one and you will see also try the lf-a you will see that the japs can play too

  • @tinleo333 Never said I didn't like Japanese cars; the new Subaru BRZ, the Mitsubishi Evo X GSR, and the LFA are all pretty cool to me. But I can't stand the GTR.

  • @Buttnut105 is hard to say that

    "the king is good"

    gt-r is king and game changer

    watch this vid lets see what jeremy say about

    /watch?v=ErJaPncMkOc

  • @tinleo333 It has impressive abilities but I'd never find myself accelerating from 0-60 with launch control or on the Nurburgring, let alone on any track so why would I ever buy one? I'd rather have cars that are communicative and great to drive than ones that have the fanciest electronics or numbers.

  • @Buttnut105 you like what you like hey like the colors

    but if you drive one trust me jay leno,tanner foust,jeremy clarkson,tiff needell,Keiichi_Tsuchiya and many more already test this car and they all say this car is special.

  • @tinleo333 Again, I'm not doubting it's abilities I just don't like it. I want a sports car that rewards me for driving well therefore improving me as a driver and enjoying it more. The GTR just corrects everything you do all the time and even voids the warranty if the TC's turned off. There's no building a relationship with the GTR.

  • @Buttnut105 so,porsche gt2 RS,viper ACR,koenigsegg you like RWD and TC off

  • @tinleo333 No now you're talking just insane, overpowered cars. But nevertheless, I would drive them all nannies off after I've grown with them and grown comfortable with the way they drive quickly, when I learn their limits.

  • @mxaxh1

    Unfortunately you seem to be biased, you only looked at the information you wanted to see. How much does both cars weigh, lets see: 911 Carrera s (3075 pounds), Nissan GTR (3829 pounds) That's 754 pounds more than the Carrera s. That extra 140hp is hauling the extra 754 pounds of weight. Hockenheim is also one of the shorter tracks. Looking closer at your comment you are an idiot, i actually didn't finish reading your comment. Now that i have it seems you are much worse of a fanboy.

  • Very good looking

  • mmmmm those tail lights

  • This car has come such a long way. Its amazing.

  • First 7-speed manual, props Porsche
