2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S: The New Benchmark For Speed - Carfection

[@MclovinMclove]

Am I the only who would choose this over any Ferrari/Mclaren/Lambo

[@bubbaboy3010]

NO!

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

IDK, 720s for me

[@viragshah1729]

YES!

[@mrmathieson1632]

No I would 100%. There's much cheaper ways of looking a tool than driving a bright coloured lambo

[@SteveC-Shaman]

I did. In white, so I can drive it a bit more like a jerk. :)

[@bubbaboy3010]

Just bought one last year and it is AMAZING! This car just wants to drive hard ALL the time, yet remains very composed when you want it to be. You have to drive it hard on curvy roads to fully understand why this car is soooo great.

[@behemothinferno]

God this thing is perfect! Tons of power, grip, luxury, comfort, looks etc... My favorite car for sure since it's the perfect everyday missile.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

This is the best car on earth regardless of price.

[@ecoRfan]

Gorilla Jones keeping a well made $200k car for 50 years costs the same as keeping a $40k car for 10 years. Buy once, never sell.

[@SirJamesTND]

Well the Chiron is basically a 911 turned to 15

[@timsgta]

@@SirJamesTND who is talking about a Chrion?!?...NOONE...so what if it was designed in Germany, it's a FRENCH company. Nothing related to a 911...the Chiron costs how many times more than a 911? And try driving one every day...

[@timsgta]

@Kuzuri Kam that's like saying a Mustang and a DB7 are related, just because Ford owned Aston Martin at one time. In case you hadn't realized it, large car companies buy smaller companies all the time, then typically they are divested for various reasons...you aren't related to your step sister (example) no more than Bugatti and Porsche are related...

[@damienmcmurray9786]

[@d0718]

Nissan GT-R: claims 0-60mph in 2.7 sec, does so in 3.5 sec Porsche 911 Turbo S: claims 0-60mph in 3 sec, does so in under 2.7 sec That's why I love Porsche over any other brand.

[@carsaregood911]

I hate the GT-R but it can actually do 60mph in under 3 seconds...

[@kbalbas98]

To be fair the GT-R has gone under 3 seconds consistently for quite some time now.

[@zeytunci1]

umm stop spreading bs on your bread kid. There has been many documented cases of a stock gtr doing 0-60 under 3 seconds.

[@Dgannt]

This need for some Porsche fans to hate on an almost 9 years old car. Why??? Do you still feel threatened by GTR? GTR is now an 9 years old design/chassis with some upgrades. It not at the level of these new generation 911, not even close. At least in price. I prefer Porsche as it's a better car but why hate on another legend?

[@zeytunci1]

Fast Er They dont realize that since they think with their emotions. I can certainly say they are worst then gtr fanboys. They can make fun of the 9 year old car all they want but lets see if they will laugh when the r36 comes out (Assuming it comes out the way they have planned it now)

[@HeyItsCoates]

If Top Gear was purely serious you'd have Carfection.

[@rfp3089]

Yes but Top Gear brings the fun and Carfection brings the facts and both are great! :)

[@d0718]

How the hell do we have Chris Evans hosting top gear when there are presenters like this

[@shaft9000]

i dunno how to explain it either...lewd favors or something

[@Alby911]

Why do we need Top Gear? The show has become a joke a long time now. And it's really aimed at the great unwashed who claim to be car fans, but mostly not deep down.

[@nelligannelligan8585]

Exactly. This guy is an excellent presenter. Good job fella.

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Is there not a place for Top Gear as well as web based shows?

[@nelligannelligan8585]

There certainly is a place. I rate this bloke better than the top gear team with the exception of Chris Harris. You want facts, you go to KZbin. You want entertainment, you have TopGear. I watch both.

Good to know. In the video it sounds decidedly muted. If you'd have told me the sound was from a Toyota Corolla, I wouldn't have doubted it.

[@rfp3089]

Well but it wasn't that bad of a sound, but I agree on the other side it wasn't very good

[@kingkobetha8th]

I remember when the turbo and the gtr used to go head to head. This new turbo S is in a different league.

[@andrewipp426]

Really good, concise, no nonsense driving review Mr G. The video's always go by very quickly, I tend to watch them twice the first time they're uploaded. This just my own wish list; if there was just a little bit more content showing of the interior/exterior overview & tech specs, good content.

[@karlfontanari2169]

BBC take note this guy is great

[@willembezuidenhout5254]

I really enjoyed your review- Thanks! I appreciate your honest, no-nonsense approach. A lot of other reviewers focus more on their presentation (and their ego) than the car itself. You let the car speak for itself.

[@wolfandbass]

For a split second, during the beginning shots, I expected to hear Jeremy Clarkson's voice. Carfection truly is one of the best car shows out there.

[@pascalmpower7944]

No doubt the 991 Turbo S is very quick on straight line, it doesn't have the track focused chassis set up, tires and weight reduction as GT3 but its pace is close to the 991 GT3 RS on most tracks where they both lapped. That proves the 991 Turbo S has fantastic acceleration to overcome braking, corner entry and apex speed disadvantages. The 991.2 Turbo S with the dynamic boost function might even give GT3 RS 4.2 hard time. However, I think Turbo S is a bit too small as a GT. I prefer BMW M6 as benchmark GT. It has more stuffs to play with, ie, switching DSC off to lock the rear differential to maximize traction balance to increase agility and handling adjust-ability. For acceleration, the M6 F13 Competition Package is quicker than 991.1 Turbo S above 150 km/h. For engineering, the M6 has stronger torsional rigidity thanks to the carbon roof. For size, the M6 is as big as a Bentley Continental GT while costing less than both Bentley and Porsche Turbo S. To me, M6 is definitely the best GT on market. Can't wait to see how well the next M6 performs.

[@Engineerboy100]

Just makes me that much happier that I decided to buy a 911 turbo. I love it to the core!

[@charlesearle8414]

I have to say I like the Turbo more than the GT3 RS.

[@shortaybrown]

what about if they made a 911 Turbo RS 4.0 ?

[@charlesearle8414]

Still would prefer the Turbo. More civilized, comfortable, and more understated. The whole track-car approach with the GT3 and GT2 never really appealed to me.

[@henryzhang9915]

epic video quality, makes me actually want it more, much more.

[@longtailgt]

Unbelievable editing! Absolutely gorgeous car. Those wheels are pure sex! Don't really care about new Top Gear (apart from Harris and Rory) anymore... you guys are in a different league!

[@1802198511]

Porsche makes the best sports cars on the planet. You can launch the car 50 times and it'll do the same time every time. It's so much quality and power...I love it

[@JoJoJoker]

Any love for the 997.2 TT still? The new base Carrera and the 4S seem to be the good "value"....until the GTS comes along.

[@carsaregood911]

+emptyskullify its a supersport car, sounds is very important

[@klasseact6663]

BEST PRESENTER ON KZbin, PERIOD!

[@chrisc2184]

Yes Porsche is the best and has been for many years but the GT-R shows you don't have to rob a bank to own a super car. Most manufacturers today can build a super car. Everyone has the technology.

[@gmansplit]

The Z06 is better than the GT-R.

[@HG504X]

I would rather have Z06... Faster, better sounding, much better looking and its RWD for amazing drifts.

[@gmansplit]

King The Great. Salavan *The Z06 is worse than the GT-R.* And no, it isn't. Looks better, is more fun since it has a manual and is RWD, it is way less computerized, it is cheaper, faster around a track, and faster in the 1/4.

[@Executiveinvestments-]

+Chris Constantinou Most manufacturers can build a supercar? Well how many of those wanna be "supercars" like the GTR, can actually hold their value instead of loosing half its value in 2 years?

still can only do 70mph/130kph on the road.

[@marty.8225]

In Australia the limit is only 100/110Kph but people still buy these cars because of the pure driving enjoyment you get from them. Most people who own them have their favorite little back road were they can have some fun myself included. Couldn't see myself driving a mundane car where would be the fun in that but each to their own.
