Porsche 911 turbo s

[@denzelmaniac]

Matt, once all the manuals are out of production, we will all be praising them. That Porsche probably has one of the best manual boxes ever created, I am sure it is fast and precise. Why not celebrate the fact that it may be one of the last manuals in a Porsche, instead of dissing it the whole time? Once we get self driving, electric, speed limited, soulless cars.... you will remember driving this Porsche very well.

[@asdfghjk_]

Well said. Dissing manual gearboxes while conveniently ignoring the fact that this car is a limited edition collectors item, not an everyday driver and even comparing the ride to that of an estate car. If it only came in auto or if you had the choice of transmissions then I'm sure Matt would rant about how collectors cars should only be manual. And acting shocked when a limited edition collectors car that will drastically appreciate in value is more expensive than the mass produced Turbo S, how very controversial. Then explaining the unheard of draw backs of city driving with a manual gearbox and feeling the need to explain that you have to down shift.. to overtake.. when in 7th gear. Motoring journalism at its finest..

[@Slowwagonftl]

[@magnustan841]

I just took my first driving lesson and I *chose* a manual car over automatic. I enjoyed myself, it was so cool to drive a car for the first time and I had a good time managing my clutch and “finding the biting point”. When I left my driving school though, my left leg was killing me. Maybe I need to experience driving faster and on an open road, but after that, I do not understand why a lot of people worship this three-pedal setup like god. I’m sure it’s super fun, but in my circles, it’s getting so cult-like, it’s almost as if people choose to ignore the “other option” completely.

[@danradcliffe6255]

I've never heard a car enthusiasts complain so much about having a manual transmission. I personally am very pleased it has a proper manual. 7 gears may be the only thing I could do w/o.

[@lyndonklymchuk7391]

I came here to say this too. Manual is a big plus!

[@RT-xj3of]

Yeah I wish the turbo s was still a manual. Hell... My WRX would be so lame as an automatic. Manual is so much more enjoyable. He's a car guy but his complaining about a manual. Weird .....

[@bkfill]

Totally agree

[@exoroxx]

Actually, it is like a normal 6 speed manual. But you can get into the long 7th gear (almost like the 8th gear of the PDK) from 6th to save fuel and to reduce engine noise. Sport Chrono Package is for free with the manual option and I would always go for Sport Chrono in a 911. But I have a problem: The PDK is also absolutely great. And it's faster. A normal Carrera (non S) would be fine for me with manual, but Porsche don't offers that option. Okay - I'm still too poor even for the entry level 911, so that's just fine. Maybe there is once more a 911 T coming up.

That's what they said about the 911 R, then out came the Carrera T and GT3 Touring. Usually special edition Porsche's are followed up with a mass produced equivalent. I wouldn't be surprised if they produce a 911 Turbo RWD or something afterwards which would tank the value.

[@ev.c6]

True. Just a pity it still gets melted by the Plaid, costing more.

[@Speed_7545]

@@lachie5687 You're forgetting there already was a sports classic model from 2010 that was followed by plenty cool Porsches, yet that model is a modern classic of its own. The 911R has more than doubled its value so far so I don't really see where you're coming from. Certainly the Carrera T and GT3 Touring did not tank the value of the 911R, neither did they tank the value of the 2010 Sports Classic with one being sold for $654k, over double its original MSRP. The 911R is its own special car and so is the Sports Classic, the values of which aren't dented by more accessible alternatives such as the Carrera T or GT3 Touring.

[@Xenon0000000000001]

@@grahamelias9306 How does 7th gear being locked out make any sense? If you ever drive it on a motorway you'd get up to cruising speed in 3rd and then you'd want to stick it in 7th.

In the end he mentions all the 911 models to get instead, but if he wants an automatic so bad why not get one of those. Why would he want a PDK option in a 911 model like this, that is meant to be a homage to older 911s, which had manual gearboxes? Doesn't make sense to me.

[@loljk233]

11:40 I'm guessing the reason you can't get adaptive cruise control is because it's a manual gearbox. ACCs usually have "stop & go" which means the car can slow all the way down to a standstill and then start again when traffic moves again. That becomes difficult when the car can't change gears itself and has to rely on the driver changing the gears as the speed goes up or down.

[@xXSuperFerriXx]

Actually met a Porsche employee with a Sports Classic like a little over a month ago at a parking lot and had a chat with him about the car. He said it was a pre-production prototype, which sadly has to be destroyed after testing. All for keeping the limited production numbers truthful.

biker isn't bored it's about keeping your tyre edge edge warm for grip once you can pass and boot it round a corner

[@kolbjrnhalvorsen863]

19:54 "Just get a normal entry level Carrera, manual or automatic" Except that you cannot get the Carrera with a manual. You need to upgrade to the Carrera S to get that option.

@@DiaperSNiFFER There's still some time to go, usually happens at the end of the life cycle and Porsche haven't introduced the Phase 2 of this generation of the 911's.

14:30 what is that for a smartwatch and is the rolex background standard? Thanks in advance.

It’s wild to me that Matt doesn’t like manual transmissions. He’s the only car enthusiast/reviewer I’ve seen that doesn’t like manuals. Also, on the 0 to 60 he didn’t launch the car. Porsche manual transmissions still have launch control.

[@Suls077]

Can’t lie my dads carrera 4s be doing 0-60 way quicker than that 😂🤣

[@Flatsixfiesta]

Of course. Awd gives so much more grip off the line. But 0-60 times are a terrible way to gauge overall performance.

Porsche always hits the right areas. Brutal acceleration which can rival much more expensive cars, extremely Strong breaking and one of the most reliable supercar out there. ♥️

[@alexandrehamen1186]

You cannot have adaptive cruise control because it’s a manual. If it needs to slow down because of traffic, it can’t depress the clutch for you and change down.

[@elilustrealan8038]

It would be really awesome it you guys were to review a Ruf of any model even a Ctr3! I love Porsche and Ruf, im hoping to someday own a 911!

[@fabssgarage]

Easy to see Matt doesn't cares about driving experience and fun but only acceleration times lol Porsche did an awesome job making it manual transmission and rear wheel drive only!

[@the.mylooo]

Come onnn duude! shifting manually all the way to the 7th gear is really beautiful and enjoyable 😍😍😍

[@zzhughesd]

White GT3. Black turbo S. Blue/Black ‘S’. What the hell. The 992 just the prettiest 911 of them all

[@edombre4637]

I drive a manual every day in all conditions: traffic, back roads, highways, shopping trips, and love every minute of it. An automatic makes me fall asleep.

This is sick, but the fact it's such a big deal that it's a drivers car surely shows that they should make more manual, RWD, fun cars. It's not about the numbers, it's about the feel. So it's a shame that models like this are super rare and expensive

[@ppourfal]

Adaptive Cruise Control is not available on manual gearbox Porsche cars for obvious reasons (e.g. speed fluctuations and the need for driver to intervene). I drive a manual Targa4s 992 almost daily in Europe and just love it.. of course it is more work but won’t change it for a PDK.

No, I'm not talking about that lame sequential a DCT gives you, it's like single clutch Lambos vs newer DCT Lambos.

You can't get Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) because it has a manual gearbox. Same on 4S and other models.

[@cabamaru76]

the guy on the motorcycle is actually doing that to get his tires warmed up on their sides before going fast on those twisty roads where the bike will have to lean a lot using the side of the tire, thus it has to be as warm as possible for grip.

[@khotsomols]

5:14 no Mat...His warming the tires preparing for an overtake ;)

[@sakimano]

manuals aren't hard to launch. You're just launching off idle for some reason. You need to be up at 3000 rpm and give that a go. If you spin to much back it off to 2500 and keep trying until you find the hot spot.

hi Matt great video - what color is the exterior? Gentian Blue or a PTS color, thanks

[@alizierny]

Yeah Matt, I would go for a regular 911 Carrera with a manual as you suggested, but it doesn't exist.. manual is available for 4s and up, at least in US

[@rcybergaming]

16:59 is one of the reason I like driving manual cars. I hate that automatic cars leave you in such low gears when driving normally in sports mode. Being able to drive in sports mode but a better gear in a manual car is so nice.
