718, 911, 982. What the Porsche numbers mean | On Board

- 996 911, 987 Boxster, etc, etc. After years of being confused and not knowing what those extra numbers attached to almost every Porsche model mean, I decided to bite the bullet and do some research. Turns out it's pretty interesting.

i still cant recognise porsches so ill just say, "hey there, nice 911"
Thank u for making me more confused 😂
5:02 The Reason might be the German language. In German, the 911 is called "Neun Elf" which means "nine eleven" a 910 would be called "Neun Zehn" which sounds the same as "Neunzehn" (19).
Instablaster.
mind = blown
we are both confused
*JA*
Nice profile pic
😂😂😂
1:20 as a german I approve of this very efficient conversation.
I learned way more than I thought I would, nice video,!
Jeff Clark Thanks, Jeff!
Thanks so much, this made so much freaking sense.🤪 I have asked so many porsche owners , and they look at me as if I asked for spare change.🤷🏾♂️
Thank you. Now I kinda understand. I wish they jjust did a 911-2, 911- different# . Even 911-2a to keep models with each year. I will stay somewhat confused. Great video 👍🏼
That’s answered the question that’s bugged me for ages. Thanks
thanks a million
Just bought my first Porsche and trying understand all the numbering just as you described. Thanks for the explanation. Now I need a list of all the numbers they have doubled back on in the last 20 years...great video thanks!
Great video. I appreciated all of the clicking effects.
Subscribed without a second thought. Excellent video. ♥️
This is really well explained. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing such great information!
Nice work! Keep it up
Great work
What an excellent video essay. Bravo.
I was always so confused 😂 great and very informative video thanks!!!
Great video on the topic, I was surprised with its overall quality. It deserves more views, I hope TH-cam's algorithm didn't muffle it down by connecting it to 9 eleven tragedy. Unfortunately it might be the case, since algorithms often overlook the context
this was very helpful, thanks!
Great video!
Great video! Helped me a lot to understand as I am trying to buy a 2015 porsche targa. Do you have a video maybe with a time line that shows the model numbers in more details?
Very Good explaination.
The "yah" got me on the conversation 😂 Awesome video, thanks!
So what did they do with all the 0🤔🤔🤔
great video thank you
Very good video
Great video. I learned a lot. Including that in order to understand Porsche model numbers I just need to memorize which number belongs to which car. Since I am not great with remembering numbers I am doomed to just referring to 911s as 911s and nothing more. 😄
thank you
Great explanation about something that will never make any sense 👍
Great explanation! I too think they messed up. Yes, 9XX is very Porsche, but using it for both model and version numbers is unnecessarily confusing. Counting down after counting up is also confusing.
Why not use random project names internally (such as ‘Project Purple’), and clear version names externally based on release date (such as ‘mid-2021’)? Prevents confusion with model names, and offers an endless supply of version/project names.
Thank you and keep it up
Thanks, Asad.
there are currently 969 likes. which porsche is that?
Late to the party here but your video made me think - if they're so hung up about numbers starting with 9 then why not go 9001 and continue from there? They're just project numbers after all... Missing out 9000 because Saab already did that one :)
Thanks man, can you do one for Mercedes please
i wonder what these cars would be be called if they had kept the project no. naming scheme...
I love how there’s a logic but there isn’t one lmao great life lesson
Got you so it had a reason in the start and now it simply doesn't!
its not nostalgia, its heritage
Informative video. Thanks. Now that I know how the watch works can you tell me the time? I have a 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera and the project code is? _______
991?
I give this video a like. And it was number 991 like. So yeah.
its year 2022. Why is the is the current 911 named the 992? But back in the 90's Porsche already had the 993
+1 sub :)
Still confused after watching this
Porsche: The one car company where if you put two seemingly identical cars next to each other, and one is $500K and the other is $25K, and I could not tell you which is which, as they look pretty much the same to me, and their naming is equally confusing. Sure some of them stand out, but a lot of them really seem like the same car with slightly different tweaks. I guess the cool thing about that is you can own the $25K version and everyone is like "oooh a Porsche", and you can own the $500k version, and drive downtown in stealth mode with only hard core entheausiasts knowing what it is.
I know this is a good video, but i will never understand theese numbers. I was completely lost half way through lol
Still very confused 😅
When they ran out of 9s, they could have just added an X, restart the numbering and that would have sounded cooler than going backwards. Example: 911 X01 to X999. Should have been sufficient for a couple decades. Or just add the year. 911 2018. Problem solved.
They oughta switch to hexadecimal
learned all the relevant 911 models in 1 minute, 47 seconds. search for this video: All 911 Models in 3 Minutes!! Understanding the Porsche 991.2 911 Range
great video
but im still confused
lul
And Apple nerds complain when the numbers get confusing
Still confused as f makes no sense its only porsche logic 997 then 991 992 code be better if they can just run with chassis code like others
This is super confusing.
911
Never mind the numbers, Porsche is pronounced “por sha” not “porsh”.
As a German, it just pains me to hear how much more you know about these cars than me, while at the same time horribly butchering the pronounciation of the brand itself throughout the video: Porsche -> ther is an e at the end, you know. Anyway great video.
At least you know that. I grew up knowing that at for the last 30 years have had to correct women and argue with dudes that ITS NOT PORSH..ITS PORSCHE! pour-sha.
I understand this now but wtf Porsche this is worse than that math question we all hate. Jesus Christ
It’s “Por-shuh”
germans like "nien"
so.. all 9
You missed a lot, mainly 912, & the 914,
The video title was "what Porsche numbers mean" not "description of every Porsche"
didn't learn a thing;I wanted to know the current codes and what the hell that means. a waste of time
that’s kind of the point of the video is that they project codes don’t really make a whole lot of sense.
Leave it to Germans to overcomplicate a simple thing
