Amazing performance numbers even for today. Equally amazing value retention.

0-60 in 4 seconds must’ve felt like warp speed in 1994.
Seriously though! I had a Mitsubishi Starion that felt fast back then. Funny, my 2015 335 M-Sport sedan can hang with 94 911 Turbo. Gosh has acceleration changed!
@@fitnessguru8012 I remember test driving a 5.0 94 Mustang GT 5 speed and thinking it was stupid quick. Well... quick for such a vague feeling steering/suspension.
I was thinking the same thing 0 to 60 in 4 seconds in 94 that was just wow numbers
YES!! Even the Supra Turbo took about 5.4 seconds to get to 60, a LONG WAY from 4.0!
Even faster than the ZR1 Corvette which was the "King of the Hill" at that time.
The 911 Turbo has been the pinnacle of sports cars for 45 years now. Amazing things... from the 930 to the 992.
Every time the newest 911 Turbo comes out, it leaves everyone in the dust with that 0-60 lol
4 seconds....1994. I was in love with this car. I had recorded this exact review on VHS tape being the car nut that I was ( shout out to Motorweek ) and watched it countless times. Brings back memories. Never did get the car but it still stirs emotion today.
Those numbers are more than respectable today. You paid for it, but it was worth it!
Any car that does the quarter in less than 13 seconds feels fast as hell.
@@rhull3939 I have a 100% stock 2018 Camaro SS. It runs mid 12s at 117 mph in 1/4 mile all day and don't feel fast as it used to. Maybe fast is different to different people.
@@stevemt3422 I think it's probably just because you're used to it. That's how you end up going down the horsepower rabbit hole. Ha. Drive a normal car for a week and come back to it and it'll feel fast again for a little while.
$100K is a lot back then. Now you can pickup a used one for a quarter that price all day long.
@@lordmaster5522 Where exactly are you gettin 911 Turbo 3.6's for $25k?
'Bad Boys' was the best marketing publicity for 911 Turbos ever
"This is a limited edition."
"You're damn right it's limited."
@@lucashenderson2775 Lmao!
“No cup holders, no back seats, just a shinny d*ck with two chairs in it...”
I wanted Mike Lowry's turbo SO DAM BAD...
@@lucashenderson2775 LOLOLOLOL.....my favorite line from my favorite movie with my favorite car!!!
1:27 0-60 mpn at 4.0 seconds flat with 355 hp back in 1994 is still very impressive 24 years later. Still looks as beautiful as ever too..
But with a manual as well. My TTS gets close, only because of the dual clutch transmission.
It held its value - eBay has a couple for $198k
In black is what this gem looks the sexiest and Bad Boys solidified its iconic status.
I think that was the director, Michael Bay s personal car too.
What a relief to finally see a vintage performance car that is not slower to 60 than a modern minivan. :-)
Tf do you expect?
It’s slower than a e63s wagon who cares you rather drive a faster minivan than this I guess
He’s right, though.
A lot of vintage “performance” cars will be embarrassed at a stop light by a Dodge Caravan. Even before smog and CAFE.
@@Bartonovich52 A Caravan with the "Hell cat" engine?
It's more about how that trip to 60 makes you feel and not so much how long it takes. I've driven "fast" cars that feel slow and "slow" cars that feel fast. It's the one that makes you smile that matters most.
4 second 0-60 in 94 ...meanwhile 25 years later automakers are still fighting to beat those times in most cases
Well it takes about 400 hp and 3000lbs. Modern cars are too heavy.
Broad, flat torque profile is what gets the job done.
Being rear engined is a huge advantage. The current 911 Turbo S does 0-60 in 2.2 seconds.
@@badlydrawncars6460 indeed, lets just say Porsche builds rockets for the road.
This car was so ahead of its time!
355HP / 384lb-ft of torque ? That was a lot back in the early to mid 90s!!!
Long live the iconic 911!!!
The 1990 Corvette ZR1 had 375hp. It was a V8 tho vs the flat 6. But 355hp is still respectable numbers for a 6 cyl. Even to this day. Awesome car!
I just spent a bunch of money on my BMW N54 engine on parts and tuning to make it do 12.5 in a quarter mile while this Porsche did 12.2 in 1994 , smh .
My Nissan sunny did 12.6
Nothing better than a 911 and MotorWeek.
This show lets me re-connect with my childhood and cable television.
To this day I have not found a more entertaining car review program than MotorWeek!
And then, they decided to keep it around for 5 more years.
This was the last year of the 964; the 993 was released the following year
Edit: Finished watching the video, and realized you were referring to them saying there would be no turbo until 1999
1994: 993 Carrera, 1995: 993 Turbo.
Damn if Motorweek got a 4.0 then it really ran a 3.6-3.7 0-60
Closer to 3.5, imho!
Probably actual 0-60 rather than rolling start like C&D and Motortrend have been known to do.
@@Bartonovich52 rolling starts are slower. Most magazine tests actually do the 0-60 tests from a dead stop, but don’t begin recording until after the vehicle has went 12” (iirc).
I know this is what you meant, but just clarifying for others
Man, I love this car and it’s design.
its*
@@nessuno5403 Yep. Common mistake though, since any other time ‘s would work in a possessive. With “it”, exclusively, the ‘s only goes with the compound of “it” and “is”; the possessive leaves the apostrophe out.
The 0-60 mph time is very impressive even in today's standard.
Hey random person scrolling down the comments
Have a wonderful day :)
Damn even by today standards it keeps with or will outdo many sports cars!
Yeah, most of them. Camaro non ZL1 10spd goes 12.2 and same for mustang gt auto I believe but the same cars with manual against this 911 the 911 wins. Not many cars go sub 12s and these guys aren’t using a prepped drag strip. On a cool day and prepped track high 11 is not out of the question.
Would love to have one of these alongside my C4 ZR-1 Corvette. Great competitors back in the day!
Never got to drive the turbo version , but non turbo was a nice car. Had a chance to drive one. Suspension changes made a big difference in handling . My 1977 could be tricky
PLEASE PLAY Motorweek Retro Review over Christmas, THANKS!
911 Turbos have always been one of my favorites since 1975 when was I think called 930 to the present. A gentleman’s sports car that will scare and thrill yet able to be driven in all weather conditions. Still a cool looking and performing killer, overall.
It may not be the newest 911 anymore, but there's always something about a classic car that just gets to you. Plus, they had to start with something! Can't have the new without the old, right?
was one of just a few dream exotic sports cars of mine back then while still in college
You were BLOODY RIGHT.....
A Legendary Classic
My dream car right here! On my bucket list to buy one. And do a video review on
From the first day I saw one to today, forever one of the coolest looking cars ever made...especially in that oh-so-90s Coral Red Metallic! (I know this is Guards but the Coral
Still looks amazing!
Man the 911 turbo is my dream car
Its a wierd thing to want that specific model but man it looks great
This always has been my favorite 911 Turbo.
WOW, 99 grand in '94 would buy you a damn nice house! But, then again, you can't drive your house to work!
You can’t sh- in your car.
@@Bartonovich52 RV
Classic. Seem so long ago, beautiful car. Love this show:-):-):-)
Last of the single turbo air cooled 911’s, end of an era.
My favorite Porsche model 😍
Amo este programa
I’d take this or a Corvette ZR1
Wow who knew Porsche had those numbers in 1994? Still got passed by the Saab in the 60-80 passing.
Anyone that watched this show in '94..
uh what saab?? those performance numbers were mind blowing for the time. Correct me if I'm wrong please
If you’re referring to that clip of Clarkson in a 2004 9-5, then you need to know... he was lying. Look up any performance stats on the passing times of a manual 911 Turbo, and they all beat the Saab.
It was probably a lot like the clip with the Evo or whatever it was trying to from 30 to 80 in top gear against a Fiat Stilo... and losing.
Sure... all the Evo had to do was change gears... but sometimes if the Fiat driver was paying more attention and saw that their lane was closed ahead, that’s all it takes for them to accelerate and merge in front of you.
Turbo lag?
Can you do a video about Chrysler TC by Maserati? Thanks!
My favorite Porsche in my favorite color man I need this
Das widow maker. My second favorite turbo, behind the 993.
Thanks guys, I thought I was looking at a 993, but now realize the different 964 nose. I forgot...and I agree.
I agree, 993 turbo is the most beautiful air cooled turbo.
Yo, Vanilla Ice's 5.0 with the rag top down...0-60 in 4 seconds, no play, it's not a joke!
Such a sick looking car. I want one in black
“Trade in those stocks and bonds” is right! 💵
2:30 is that Chip Foose?!!!
Lol I don't think so. Sure looks like him
@@GameOver321 It's just the hair.
this guy was one of their models (?) for most of the 1990s
and i get a river phoenix vibe from him in this video
Fun retro review but the last of the breed comments turned out to be very wrong. Here we are 26 years later and all 911s are turbos with several earlier generations of turbos as well. But 0 to 60 in 4.0 seconds was rare territory for 1994 even if a much cheaper Tesla Model 3 can now beat that.
Nice car, have not seen one on the road for many years. ☝
Hollywood CA. Some guy around has a 993 Turbo in the color that is similar to the M3 Laguna Seca Blue. I'll be car-jacking him soon... ;op
Holy moly I had no idea a Porsche was that fast in 1994
2:45
"and that price may go up"
and go up it did.
As a young child my favorite cousin and I would play the Porsche version of VW Beetle, but instead when we saw one we would say CALL 911 ... We loved this car so much, but when mother found out about this game she said Absolutely Not, you boys cannot walk around saying that 😅😅😂😂😂 good times
That might have been the quickest production car at the time.
Must of been close. Ferrari Testarossa/F40, Lambo Diablo, Porsche 959, Mclaren F1 all around the same.
@@povking1460
The 959 was AWD and a hair quicker, but was a limited production car. The Diablo was AWD, so that probably put it right there. The F40 ceased production in 92. The F1 was an outlier.
what was the Viper? I know it wasnt that fast but upper 4s 0-60 and upper 12s 1/4
@@hank1556
That sounds about right.
@@coletrickle581 The Testarossa was in the 5’s iirc. The Diablo has both AWD (VT) and RWD (SV) variants.
A year later, they released the AWD 993 Turbo 3.6
I have a 2007 997 4s with the same hp but the turbos tq is still dominate. I’d love to own one
I have a stack of car magazines from '94 that I bought when this monster came out! 💘💘
youshould put the,m up for sale
@@davidshamiri1448 not yet, will be worth even more in 2024
An absolute legend.
keep your boring stocks in 1994 , if you invested $109644 USD ( the price of the Porsche) in 1994 in S&P 500 index you would have over $1,335129 USD in 2020 !!!!!
Can't drive your stocks..... have to sell them at some point to see the value..... And time is more valuable than money......
Them people in the comments saying 4 seconds 0-60 isn't fast driving there civics and Corolla's lol
Fantastic car
_Porsche, there is no substitute._
John Davis-> LEGEND.
Wow a 12.2 back then is insane
Good looking car...so very good looking
Wow, 4.0 second time in 1994 is incredible.
0:12 Speedster
911 turbos have always had that weight transfer which gives them the epic 0-60 times. Im thinking they may have had slightly more than the quoted power though (maybe around 400bhp), I mean look at the trap speed.
GRIP-GRIP-GRIP-GRIP-DEAD
LOL! Yup.
Good old widowmaker!
As it should be.
But what a way to go!
The 911 turbo 3.6 964 , and the 911 turbo 993, had identical 0-60 number when motorweek tested them, 4 second dead, but the 993 911 turbo, s true 0-60 times is more like 3.7 seconds, thank in part to A.W.D. regardless, they are two timeless classics, that anyone would be happy owning. My preference however, as much as i like the 911 3.6 964, i would rather have the 911 turbo 993.
$99k new, and still fetching this price or more now used.
They go for 250k and up
@@cross7387 yup this and the Turbo S
0-60 in 4.0 in 1994 WITH A MANUAL. On top of that from Motorweek no less. They average a full second behind the magazines on 0-60 runs of every other ‘90s sports car.
Sounded like they thought it was was going to be killed off...THANK GOD THEY WERE WRONG! Long live the king, the only daily driveable Supercar out there today❗
Wow this gen turbo was still faster than the following two gen turbos…
Ken Master's Whip
A true Classic 👌! I remember getting a ride in one of these on the test track in Weissach, with slicks on, while it was still in development. The will never forget that experience! Let’s just say that the test driver was VERY familiar with their track 👍!
This model is still one of my favorites
I guess the $99K /1994 dollars is why the common man fast cars of the day (pony cars) didn't completely lose their face. But looking at the engine compartment's tight clearance, it should have sticker, 'no user serviceable parts inside. Contact your stealer-ship with credit card in hand, pants down'.
I saw an old 80s 911 turbo this past summer, are they really that quiet?
Ladt of the great 911s
had to watch this one twice! the final generation of 911 that i was interested in, and i couldn't believe that cutie was so gentle with the shifter!
the door mirrors are a bit too organic in shape and those wheels have aged poorly, otherwise this was as perfect as the 911 ever got
It is still quick by today's standards.
"last chance TURBO" - NOPE!
Not by a looong shot - 26 years later and the 911 TURBO is still thé benchmark for everyday use ability in a SUPER CAR!
Kitty's here and she loves the show 😸
Phew!! Certainly one of the baddest-a*s Porsche's ever! 😈👍🏼
Back then I was 11 and I couldn't understand people paying big bucks for some high strung air cooled beetle...
Influenced by your Parents perhaps? I'm from a family of auto workers and if it was not Merican it was junk. Joke was on them in this case.
Wow! Is it really 1994 already?
That is rather quick lol.
That’s $173,000 dollars in 2020 money
And going by some listings, it absolutely held it's value and more
Porsche has always threatened to discontinue the 911 turbo because of "low demand" every time there's been a new generation of the 911 coming over the last 25 years.
It's actually a pretty clever marketing trick because it creates the air of artificial scarcity where there actually is none which drives up sales of the outgoing version and therefore creates "demand" for a new version even though they never intended to cancel it.
This is the most sought after 911 turbo. Only made in 1994. They are 500k now in price
More like the 964 Turbo S is the most sought after.
@@gobinduppal4429 Specifically the 3.6 Turbo S. 385hp.
Man that launch was absolutely atrocious 😳.....if they managed to get to 60 in 4 seconds with a bog that bad off the line, im fairly confident that a driver mod could've gotten them in the 3.9 seconds to 60 range and a 11.9 quarter mile.....
Fun fact; this is the exact model and year in the movie bad boys, only difference is color
Will Smith's car black 911 in Bad Boys (1995) 🔥
117mph trap speed!!!
Good ol 993 Porsche. The GT2 is my all time favorite. Holy grail kind of car.
Bad Boys
This car today is worth a house!
Still a quick car in todays standards
Best Porsche ever?
This car still tickles my pickle even after all those years....cant say the same for the wife....
Sweet car but not as cool as my '92 Civic with 4" muffler tip 😉👍
I would take the Civic OVER the 911 in a heartbeat..........................................just fuckin' with ya!
