Massive shoutout to our friends at Ryan Friedman Motorcars for lending us most of the cars used in the video. Go check them out. I also want to thank the guys at Audrain Auto Museum and Porsche South Shore. Without these guys this video wouldn't have happened :)

You say G body was the first production 911, that is objectively incorrect. The G series was debuted as a 1974 model and considered a complete re-design of the 1963-1973 Porsche 911. Also, while most people consider the G series to be 1974 - 1989, that is also not the case. Factually the 1973-1974 built cars were the G series cars, Technically speaking the 1975 911 was the H series, the 1976 was the J series....etc.

[@detonator2112]

964 and 993 were the peak of Porsche 911. Hand built cars that still had the spirit of the original. Anything after that was completely different car. Best looking is the 993 (narrowly). The fat rear is just perfect. 964 front looks amazing too. Too bad they're so expensive now.

[@neilhurt1992]

I bought a 1991 964 Carrera 4 back in 1994 and more recently purchased a 1996 Carrera in 2020. Both amazing cars but the 993 is a step change with that multi-link rear suspension upgrade. I've also had a couple of 944s (Lux and an S2), 3 Boxsters and a couple of 928s (S4 and a GTS) . Loved them all but my overall favourite is the Iris blue 993! Even my wife thinks it's 'OK'. Happy wife, happy life. Keep up the good work guys, cheers from a rather cold Otford, Kent, UK.

Owning a 911 is my childhood dream. But having the chance to drive every generation of the 911? That's definitely the best dream ever! The only thing close enough I can do to experience the 911 is by driving it in Gran Turismo and other games that has 911s in it 😂 Just wanna share my dream 911 gotta be the 930 Turbo in black, with 3-piece BBS LM wheels 🤤

I got to ride in a 991.1 turbo s a few months ago, and its probably the best car i've ever been in. It flew up to 150 and felt like a dream. My friend in the backseat probably felt a bit differently

[@KevinFlory993]

What a amazing experience to drive each generation sequentially. That must have been an absolute blast. I agree the 996 does not deserve all the flack it gets. Every generation just gets better. I have a 993 and and 992 and they are so different, but yet so much the same.

[@Cyclizer]

Keep it up still waiting for the bmw videos

[@captaincrankshaft]

Don't worry they are in the works

[@juhakivekas2175]

There was some inaccuracies. For example "a completely new engine" in most cases is a very interpretable claim. And before G there was the production A-, B-, C-, D-, E- and F-series. The production did not start by any means from G-series. The one McQueen drives in the intro of the 1970/71 Le Mans -movie is a 1969 2.2 liter C-series car. I pretty much consider all aircooled the same engine with just step developments. And they inturn are Mezger derivations of the Fuhrmann engine. M96 and M97 Carrera engines are basically the same engine but the direct injection 3.8 is the start of the present engine era. The split between the old and new is definitely 996 because 997 is really just a facelift what ever they say about the number of same parts. And the quality difference between 996 and 997 only really goes for the interior. Otherwise it is exactly the same standard. The modern suspension geo principles were set down by 993/996. Since then there has been PASM and 4WST and now the wishbone fr suspension (only in GT3). Although 993 already has the first LSA rear suspension the 996 is first with modern more truly forgiving handling. It is the fiirst that you can really trail brake given you have at least some grip. Summer tyres on snow and you will be remembered how the air cooled behaved. What is very typical to 911-lineage is that it is developed empirically and the base VW Beetle -concept has been pretty much against common principles. Partly because of this you can find a lot Isak's church solutions in the models. Something built on something based on learnings rather than completely new solutions. And another clear feature is that these cars are surprisingly easy to maintain. Most modern cars are built with just production in mind. Almost like the factories would state: "Do not service your self!" The 911 and Porsches in general you can see that the designers have been at the racing tracks in the pits under the car servicing it by their own hands. It may be tight sometimes but eventually it is very easy to get parts out and in quickly. HOwever, with 991/992 Porsche has actually changed this philosophy slightly. You dont really ahve access to the engine anymore. But then to take the engine out has always been relatively easy with 911s - if you have a lift you can get the engine out and in in about an hour.

@5:00 most would have edited that out. Well done lads.

[@dBsdecibels]

Wish I knew which versions some of these were (XXX.1 vs XXX.2 and base vs S). Were they all base models and all XXX.1 versions? I ended up with a 991.1 C2 with a manual transmission and I absolutely love it. Just did between 1500-2000 miles over the course of the eclipse weekend; tight twisty mountain roads and high speed stretches of highway. Such a great car!

[@johnkokinis2313]

The exact video I’ve been waiting for. I’m trying to decide which 911 to go for next. My only issue with the 993 is that I’d probably want better ac. Tough decision.

[@artsytofu1942]

So interesting that both of you chose the 993! My father in law had a 993 turbo that he purchased from Brumos Porsche that blew my mind! I have a 997.1 Carrera and love it ! However I wanted to was that 991 Carrera or carrera that you drove? If it was the base does it still feel pretty quick ? I may upgrade next year to a 991.1 Carrera. Ryan Friedman has a lot of nice cars! Maybe I’ll check them out!,

[@captaincrankshaft]

The 991 is a great car but I honestly liked the 997 better. If anything upgrade to a 997.2 Carrera S. That’s just my thoughts they are all fantastic cars. That 993 is a real treat. So much fun to drive

The best, is the newest. You’re always gonna gain something and lose something with each generation , and there is so much subjectivity to it all… but objectively it’s a no brainer The PDK feels so much faster too… because it is. Porsche had to make long gears in the manual to pass emission standards…. Although I love manuals, I feel like going manual you’re missing out on the engineering that makes these cars so awesome. Low power cars sure manual, but to extract the performance out of these new ones, the PDK is amazing! Of course, speed isn’t everything…. But you can really see even in your videos how much faster it all FEELS with the PDK.

The 930 was a turbo only. They didn't drive a 930 in this. Every 911 until the 964 was a variation of the G-Body so they didn't need to drive all the versions.

[@captaincrankshaft]

Exactly. Didn’t want to tip the scales with a turbo car. I could do every turbo 911 though next??

[@JoshPinkert]

@@orangecayman520 ​ G body started in 1974 which were the first impact bumper 911s. Prior to G was what most refer to generally as the long hoods. You are right about the similarities of suspension design on those up to the 964 but there are many differences between all of them. An '84 911 (carrera) drives very differently than a '73 911S. FWIW the glass and doors can be swapped between all of those mentioned above.

[@WNTR_JOYTOY04]

FIRST BTW

[@Nord_Mann]

Why say in the title you drive every generation 911, when you skipped the F-body who started the whole thing and was produced from 1963-1973? You just jumped the whole first decade and went for the second generation 911 with the impact bumper G-body style. Nice video, but a gross fault to make when titling the video “Every generation..”. Kinda fell short of the mark from the get go there.
