www.911uk.com

[@dstein111]

Tiff is my favorite presenter.. You looks like a silly unassuming British man, then he gets behind the wheel and tears it up!!

[@mylexicon2]

When I was growing up, this was the supercar I always wanted

[@DIZAZZO]

I remember this, here in Brazil, this is broadcast only in cable, an thats the reason i learn english without proper classes, only watching them. I call Needell, Clarkson, Vicki and Quentin Wilson my english teachers..

[@CEEPMDEE]

964 & 993 forever the best.

[@KozzyKoz]

Absolutely agree!
The 964 incorporated the classic original 911 body and frog lights, but with modernized plastic bumper covers to match the vehicle and complete the look. Its a perfect balace of original and modern.
It must be said, the 993's & beyond (minus elements of the 996) are supreme in almost every way, and are incomparable...But the 965 (964 Turbo) is my choice as the perfect 911 to dream about!

[@ZAK19857]

In my view this is the best Porsche I’ve ever seen all round beautiful German engineering 0-60 4.7 braking is impressive

[@macg86]

The colour combination is certainly a sight to behold

[@lov2aclr8]

I love tiff. I wiah i could have a pint with that geezer after afew days of driving school from the god himself... lol

[@howl1123]

Thank you

[@ClaudiaShifferLA]

I think that the reason was Teff, because he was a Professional driver and he talk about engines and how fast can be, he doesn't spend time talking in secondary things.

[@edmaluf]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video.

[@posro1988]

omg the color is burning my eyes

[@m3trooper]

LOL. Tiff is sooo young looking! And the 3.6 Turbo's are still one of my all-time favorite cars! :-)

[@mithunchawdhury689]

great 911, great review, well done Tiff.

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

Umm mint green.lol. still love the 964.

[@kevinb_45]

There should be a show on BBC/BBCA called Old Top Gear

[@ROCKSOLID19]

As an avid Porsche owner myself, I tend to find that the front of the car bops around alot on uneven surfaces, especially when the fuel tank is low, which is expected in a rear engined car but with 4WD there is less bopping due to the weight of the front differential. My first 911 was a 996 GT3 and at the beginning I did not like it but I got used to it over time. Totally different animal over a front engined car.

[@thedrivebygg]

Absolute classic

[@johnfeliciano585]

Bad Boys, watcha gonna do?

[@V10ViperSRT]

Best looking generation 911

[@PeterPorsche1]

Awesome Video ... even more awesome car ...

[@bliglum]

At the end..
Porsche 911 Carrera C MPG-24.2
Porsche 911 Turbo... MPG-25.9.
So the much more powerful turbo got better gas mileage??

[@aqibjaved8736]

bliglum yes and its very obvious why.. you need to understand the basics of volumetric efficiency

[@thepuppetstv]

mint green i think

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

great car

[@iantownsend500]

Still got the video

[@TheArfdog]

Um 70-0 in under 100 ft?? Wow that's the best number i've ever seen! The new ZR1 does 60-0 in 96 ft, not even close!

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

You have a Panamera and a Cayenne... thats says it all. LOL

[@LeontariF1]

You are definitely wrong about the 964, actually their prices start to rise especially the turbo's you can't get to them, they are so expensive! You are right about the first generation water cooled ones though.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

It is no doubt.. one with an automated gearbox.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

When Porsche made proper cars.. and were reviewed by proper people on proper Top Gear!

[@mark34bn]

@YouthOdious 1993 I think

[@vyrnmn]

1:02 world's bumpiest road.

[@12valvepower4]

porsches are amazing cars.

[@shotonbothsides]

Cool.

[@sherman3211]

Porsche is just about the only company left that makes proper cars. If anyone says they will take this over a 997 turbo, has never driven either. Porsche only innovates, if it's not better, they won't put it on their cars.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Yep.. but old ones have more charm.

[@mugsthebugs9058]

"The 964 was a great car plagued with poor aesthetics" Poor aesthetics?
are you out of your effing mind?!

[@3L3CTR0static]

So you are telling me that the new Gt3 is not a incredible masterpiece?

[@tarek307]

lol- You must not have driven a new GT3 or Turbo - Porsche is a progression...only gets better!

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

I have driven most of the new cars... something missing.

[@gearhead22996]

does anyone know the name of that color or the color code?

[@lee2217]

L22R Mint Green

[@jayrzing]

RIP

[@Champsterz]

wow he's still young with dark hair!

[@alexcheetah79]

not bad 25 mpg lol.

[@plaqueconspiracy]

Yet you have a modern Porsche as your avatar?

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Is that your "egglamp" 996 on your videos? - lol

[@Baloney1011]

Actually I think James May was a really good addition to Top Gear. He's so different. Hammond... meh.

[@1954telecaster]

great handling car but it cannot do 175mph, regardless of what the speedo says, it's simply not aerodynamic enough.

[@rollingartmotorsports848]

And you are so very wrong as the car can do that speed, been proven many times. The Porsche Ruf Yellowbird CTR can do over 200mph, also proven.

[@1954telecaster]

Mick K ok but obviously that's heavily modified, this is stock...the speedo might say 175 but in reality it's not going that fast (source: I used to own one)

[@66ott7]

Porsche is and always has been the top performing car ever since the 60's. The 911, year after year outperforms its rivals in trial testing. The 911 GT3 Rs has been the best car in the last decade. Decisively.

[@1954telecaster]

66ott7 I totally agree! you're preachin to the choir here buddy, I'm a lifelong Porsche fanboy I just think the turbos are overrated and overpriced

[@YUSKHAN]

Mick K with twin turbo's

[@johnnycanada]

The 964 was a great car plagued with poor aesthetics. As a result, it suffers the lowest re-sale prices of any 911. Porsche screws-up every few years. Anyone watching the depreciation of the early water-cooled 911’s with those ugly headlights (already being called the “lost generation”)? Excellence was expected....

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Most of the new ones, they have lost a lot of their old charm.

[@schumifannreins295]

his voice is so weird... makes me uncomfortable.

[@ChickenGriller77]

its called 'passion'

[@pacovl46]

the 993 is way uglier than the 964!!! the 964 series is my favorite 911 together with the first 997
