That final shot, with the birds chirping and the fog rolling, with a 911R hollering in the distant forest… perfect.

I will be picking up my S/T in June via Euro Delivery and heading to Alps, more than welcome to take a spin

[@all-caps3927]

How on earth did you get an allocation? Lucky man

Sounds good, currently looking for one to film as there will be no press car of it coming here sadly.

It’s funny that they basically made it worth twice the price by rebadging it and giving it a manual. In past years this would have just been a way to spec a gt3 rs; manual trans, wing delete. Now it’s treated like a super special edition.

[@369dabbler]

Porsche are beginning to look manipulative

[@miguelosterroht5443]

@@369dabblerhow are they beginning it? It’s an 8 years old car, and the secondary market made the stupid price, it was sold for half the current prices.

True. I also like the fact that he mentions “just get a gtr3” … 🤣🤣 those rides are nearly impossible to get from a dealership. They make you buy all kinds of cars beforehand for an “option” to buy one … maybe

[@all-caps3927]

exactly, I think they're ludicrously overpriced. They're brilliant but never comparable to a new 992 Gt3 RS, or ever a 991.2 Gt2 Rs

[@thedrivebygg]

Hi Luke I watch all your content and I can confirm the 911 R sounds different to all the others. In the UK you never see one of these at car meets, 992 GT3 RS, loads of them. I’ve never driven the R but I think because of its rarity and lightweight structure it commands the premium. I wonder if the S/T will devalue them or push them higher? Thanks for making the video in 4K, nice to see this car in all its glory.

[@igorossa304]

For me, it also sounds sooo different, like the has only 5 working cylinders out of 6

[@axe2grind244]

I’m 45 and I’ve been a huge Porsche fan all my life basically and I’ve never even sat in a 911 or Cayman let alone driven one so I just watch this instead lol. If this car had the green stripes it would perfecto 👌

[@PETERFRITZPHOTO]

Lovely work, Luke. That last shot feels like the opening shot of my recent Cayman 4.0 video - shot with a stereo mic at the top of a pass, with my drone facing down on the Cayman as it made its way up. Tricky to do, but so worth it. It love the effort you invest in details like this, and the fact that you notice them to begin with.

[@user-qy6pk2fm4m]

Absolutely fabulous, outstanding work as always Luke. I’ve been following Your channel for about 4 years now and basically wanted to write what I’m writing now most of the time.. so it’s not going to be just one line…😊 I just would like You to know I think that in terms of car videos You are ‘playing In the league of Your own’. Love the Content for The Top of the Top Quality of cinematography, The Vibe ( watching Your videos is like meeting a good friend who has just driven a great car and still filled with excitement can’t wait to tell you about it), The almost tangible Joy of driving, The fantastic sceneries of mountains passes. Videos of Yours have this magical power of generating specific emotion just as driving a ‘proper’ car does (at least in Petrolheads). When there’s no emotion we wouldn’t call the car ‘proper’, right? Please keep doing what You do because Your work brings Extra Value to the World of Car Lovers. Best of Luck. Greetings from Poland. Fellow CAR (also coffee and Italian food..??) Enthusiast Ps. Is it possible to purchase Your famous ‘Ciao for now’ keychain or maybe other merchandise..??

[@stopmyforeclosure101]

Hi Luke, thanks for another gem of a vid. One of my clients got really lucky back around 2018 when one of his friends called him in a hurry with a problem at hand. This guy had gotten 2 allocations, one for the GT2 RS and the 911 R. He chose to pick the GT2 against the 911 R and left my client the later since he couldn’t come up with all the money… My client got really lucky in my opinion, he was smiling the all time he got to share this great story… he told he will never sell the car, I cannot blame him.

[@EAD_0]

The intro and outro was epic as always. Nail it every time, great work.

[@Adison0529]

It is criminal this is the winter we get, but hey, at the very least we got to watch this due to that. I thought it exactly right before you said it too - it feels more like a collectors car at this price point and I'm on the same page as you - I couldn't justify spending that amount on a 991 when there are things like 991 GT3/GT3 RS down nearly half of R's price. Also, I had no idea there aren't even parking sensors. I actually like that fact in a car like this. Probably makes you really work if you want to daily drive it. Very pretty visuals and I feel like the fact that you started the video in the car and ended it there (besides the intro and outro) really went well with monotonous scenery of empty, wet and foggy, tiny mountain pass. Very relaxing video.

[@CyGMotion]

The 911r was trading for £1 million when they first landed. Absolute lunacy.

[@carswithluke]

Yep, imagine if anyone had paid that how much they lost now.

[@Autofeatures]

We did a shoot once with a 911r, gt3rs and speedster, all three incredible cars! But i feel like the speedster offers a more unique experience and look for a similar price. The flat six with open top and eye catching design definitely makes up for the small driving improvements the 911r has. Awesome video Luke!

[@carswithluke]

Cheers and yes I agree it does, if you're really going to spend that amount then it needs to feel more special.

Hey there, awesome work as usual. I really love all those cinematic shots. I was wondering what gear are you using for the pass by shots ? Really love the color grading ! I know you mentioned it at some point, but I can't find the video about it.

[@floalbano3487]

perfect configuration

[@johnmitchell2269]

There are reasons why these and the 997.2 RS 4.0 sell for so much. They are the two most desirable water cooled 911's. Basically the performance of an RS, but more road focused, a bit more refined and manual. They both got insanely good reviews. IMO, the GT3 that offers the best value for money, would be the 991.2 GT3. Still expensive, but still a fair price.

[@brianhimmelman420]

well said … these a benchmark road cars but a modified light weight 991.2 GT3 Touring at half the cost is good value … especially as driver

As always a fantastic video congrats ! Me too I’m a Porsche manual lover and it’s why I love this car 😍. But completely agreed that the price is a little bit to much 😅. Cheaper to buy a 991.2 GT3 Touring who is a very beautiful car as well :)

These were highly sought after due to the fact we all thought it would be the last exotic 911 with a manual gearbox. Then, thank goodness, the 991.2 GT3 was released with a return of the manual.

[@anmu9038]

It’s absolutely lovely dream car, but I never understood why are they are double the price compare to new. Other than being collectable 1 of 991 there is literally zero reason to get this, you can get 991.2 GT3 Touring for less than half the price, which imo looks better with updated front bumper, revs higher to that magical 9000 instead of 8700, same manual gearbox etc. I really though prices of 911R would crash much more when Porsche released GT3 Touring, I know they did a bit, but they are still crazy expensive compared to 991.2 GT3T which is essentially better car.

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

For me a 911 must be manual and the 991 is the last beautiful 911, so if I had the money it would be a contender. That said I’d be happy with the 50th anniversary in manual.

[@bob808]

While I appreciate the 911R, if I was in the market for a limited edition 991, I'd have to have a Speedster. I prefer the unique body, and the ability to 'drop the top' :D (Although I guess one should always drive top down/off in a Speedster!)

It was so funny to see the biggest flop ever on Porsche speculators when they launched the Touring. This car was worth up to 1M€ before the Touring

[@JCviggen1]

One difference (other than the fact that one is for the racetrack and the other isn't) is that the 991.1R is unlikely to ever drop much in price from here. It's a limited special edition and they built less than a thousand. The 992 GT3 RS is going to come down in price from where it's at now, and they are building thousands of them. As such the 911R is a collectable with some investment value, the 992RS is the latest and fastest track car which will simply be superseded in a couple of years by a faster one with the same name.

[@carswithluke]

Yep that limited number to 991 will make sure it’s safe now, as you said the new models are almost over produced now.

[@93455Driver]

Prefer the older 911s more than the 992s :/, would take the R above any 992. The R is amazing, but I would drop the stripes, go full Q (well as much as you can with a 911 GT ).

[@stevenrance5320]

The true purist 911 ended with the 996GT3/RS. Successive models have become so heavily Laden with driver aids, incrementally disconnecting the driver from the vehicle. This car may well be very good against a modern backdrop but against models that came before it, a purist 911 it most certainly isn’t

[@jermaineasie]

I’m not a truck driver.. I want to enjoy the car so therefore I’m going for the 911 R but if I can afford the ST why not get at once since it the newest in town.
