They modernize the same design which is what you SHOULD do when you've got a good design, while Ferrari often try to reinvent the fucking wheel and fail at it. Are Ferraris more beautiful to look at? Yes. Are they infinitely less reliable? Also yes. So unless you're a fucking millionaire, Porsche is just the better option.

911 is assassin creed of the cars, they all are similar. Ferrari is skyrim, they live from old glory, while most of them is with bugs, but we all expect new skyrim.
The porsche 911 is one of my favorite sportscars, especially the old ones from the 60s-80s but i have to agree that there are a crapload of very, very similar ones and they change very little in between.

@@zeldamenefee5008 you absolutely could not get better performance out of a GTR or a Corvette. A turbo S outperforms Lamborghinis and Ferrari’s twice its price, yet alone a gt3rs around a track… Also, you have to remember that Corvettes are nasty cheap plastic American shitboxes that are hopeless compared to any European rival (I say that as a Brit so I understand that our cars are produced differently for a completely different market to America), and a gtr was so technologically advanced back in the day that now the computers are so dated they really aren’t anything special anymore. I’d also imagine that Porsche prices are inflated over in the US compared to what they are over here
Spot-on ..exactly what i was thinking ...the best part " ...been around for 4-5 thousand years'''...overpriced beetle ...and yes the greatest con-job by the germans in auto history ...
The most fun part in commentaries are "I hate the 911, they always looks the same?" That sound like "I hate Mustangs, they all looks the same" or "i hate Camaros, they all look the same." If it's to be different of 911, why call it a 911 to start? Well, would be fun have a new version of 968. Something like the V8 from Panamera Turbo S and the classic retangular design that made the 924. 944 and 968 so beautiful.
Not only, they also consistently keep repeating the same old design over and over, like VW and Audi also love to do. I dont dislike Porsche, but buying an exotic sports car with the same mindset of buying a fridge (it works, it is reliable) is really not the way to go for me. A car enthusiast should be also a little bit mad and irrational, because that is the most important thing about being a petrol head and cannot be explained to someone who does not have the same passion.
I didn't care for Porsche, I had a Countach and a Testarossa poster in my room, till the time I got a chance to drive a 911 when I was in college in the early 90s, I finally got my own brand new 911 in 2016.
I mean, most people who would ever own one, would do just that - own a single one. They've hit the nail on the head with the styling, and a lot of people just go for the "newest 911", because its the same old styling, but with newer amenities and components. Besides, I can say the same thing about recent Ferraris. I have a Ferrari enthusiast friend, who knows the difference between those modern numbered Ferraris, but I can't tell one from the other. Being a Porsche enthusiast myself, we've reached an understanding there.
Same reason apple can with the iPhone. People don't think, they buy for a brand name and don't realise they're missing out on much better stuff elsewhere.
Two different minded people, "it's a porsche" and the second kind actually want X porsche and when you have the money for it, you have almost the same car with modern capabilities.
Many years ago, I'm guessing 2011 (?) I was on the A259 travelling from Seaford to Ashford, Kent. It was very early in the morning. The roads were lovely and quiet at that time. Just passing the Seven Sisters visitor centre I hauled up behind a Ferrari (?) and in front of that was a Range Rover with the rear window open and a film crew recording the Ferrari going up the hill to Friston Pond. I wonder what they did with that clip. I did wave at them as I floored it and sailed past in my 997 2S cabrio😆😆😆

@@zeldamenefee5008 you absolutely could not get better performance out of a GTR or a Corvette. A turbo S outperforms Lamborghinis and Ferrari’s twice its price, yet alone a gt3rs around a track…
Also, you have to remember that Corvettes are nasty cheap plastic American shitboxes that are hopeless compared to any European rival (I say that as a Brit so I understand that our cars are produced differently for a completely different market to America), and a gtr was so technologically advanced back in the day that now the computers are so dated they really aren’t anything special anymore.
I’d also imagine that Porsche prices are inflated over in the US compared to what they are over here
11 minutes just fly by, I could watch this arguments for hours.
And no, there is no winner.
“Porsche enthusiasts, by which i mean these 2 imbeciles” *points and May and Hammond*
Spot-on ..exactly what i was thinking ...the best part " ...been around for 4-5 thousand years'''...overpriced beetle ...and yes the greatest con-job by the germans in auto history ...
The most fun part in commentaries are "I hate the 911, they always looks the same?" That sound like "I hate Mustangs, they all looks the same" or "i hate Camaros, they all look the same."
If it's to be different of 911, why call it a 911 to start?
Well, would be fun have a new version of 968. Something like the V8 from Panamera Turbo S and the classic retangular design that made the 924. 944 and 968 so beautiful.
7:55: I laughed my ass off the first time I heard that and I still laugh my ass off when I hear it now.
Between Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini... it's Porsche all day.
Why? They consistently work, and have done for decades.
LOL How wrong can u be?????? They're ALL equally terrible on their own level.
Not only, they also consistently keep repeating the same old design over and over, like VW and Audi also love to do. I dont dislike Porsche, but buying an exotic sports car with the same mindset of buying a fridge (it works, it is reliable) is really not the way to go for me. A car enthusiast should be also a little bit mad and irrational, because that is the most important thing about being a petrol head and cannot be explained to someone who does not have the same passion.
@ThePatUltra LOL Better if they hadn't tried it at all. Front-engined and RWD is best possible configuration for a car.
@ThePatUltra What about Front-engined, RWD fanboys??? WTF have u got against them???
@ThePatUltra LOL Unfortunately for you, I happen to be a muscle car fanboy.
1:28 - I love Hammond's face xD
I didn't care for Porsche, I had a Countach and a Testarossa poster in my room, till the time I got a chance to drive a 911 when I was in college in the early 90s, I finally got my own brand new 911 in 2016.
But seriously though, how does Porsche manages to sell the same car for over the decades is beyond me
I mean, most people who would ever own one, would do just that - own a single one. They've hit the nail on the head with the styling, and a lot of people just go for the "newest 911", because its the same old styling, but with newer amenities and components.
Besides, I can say the same thing about recent Ferraris. I have a Ferrari enthusiast friend, who knows the difference between those modern numbered Ferraris, but I can't tell one from the other. Being a Porsche enthusiast myself, we've reached an understanding there.
Heard about the RUF??
Same reason apple can with the iPhone. People don't think, they buy for a brand name and don't realise they're missing out on much better stuff elsewhere.
Two different minded people, "it's a porsche" and the second kind actually want X porsche and when you have the money for it, you have almost the same car with modern capabilities.
They r so funny. I'm watching 1-2 episodes daily of grand tour for 2 weeks now
Many years ago, I'm guessing 2011 (?) I was on the A259 travelling from Seaford to Ashford, Kent. It was very early in the morning. The roads were lovely and quiet at that time. Just passing the Seven Sisters visitor centre I hauled up behind a Ferrari (?) and in front of that was a Range Rover with the rear window open and a film crew recording the Ferrari going up the hill to Friston Pond. I wonder what they did with that clip. I did wave at them as I floored it and sailed past in my 997 2S cabrio😆😆😆
He's not wrong it IS a beetle.
8:55 that aged well
Lol - 02:19 😂😂
Richard was loving his Beetle even more! 🚗
02:59 - Why is the GT2 not turbo if it is a turbo? 🚗
06:31 - Professional Motoring journalist! 😂 😂
Porsche: like sitting in a Volkswagen Beetle with mustard up its bottom. LM (Mustarded) AO!
3:49 jep...that sounds like jeremy xD
5:30 that is a true woman of culture
They are trying to say I’m stupid in 15 different ways
4:48 the guy who said 911s are uncool has a Ferrari cap
"Other things that are a million times nicer than the old car include Tuberculosis"
“The Ultimate 911”
That escalated quickly
This video has mysteriously made me love the 911 even more...
I do hate the 911.
Im surprised this is only eleven minutes long!
7:21 it is the Best bit!!!
That's funny. I got a Porsche 911 ad on this video
I’m slowly getting into the Porsche brand (very slowly, because I like Jaguars more) but this was hilarious, I always like to know both takes on a specific car or topic like why does he hate it vs why the other guy loves it 😂
5:25 she is the smartest woman lol
7:20 this is the best clip in my opinion, very good comedy
4:22 Ireland!!
"Ireland? Excellent!!"
"Would you do me a favour?"
I think the greatest part about this video is there is more than 1 part
911's stopped being cool once they started using water cooled engines.
Only a handful of people will get this 😂
@@Tray-sq2zr the beetle had an air cooled engine, while the 911s have water cooled, i.e calling the 911 a beetle by being very specific.
You know how you and your friends sometimes argue about the same thing for 20 years
Take this production crew please thank you and Clarkson.
8:59 Bit off a little more than you could chew there eh Jeremy?
Guessing Clarkson disliked German cars in general…. “Every time I use the navi, I end up in Poland,”
Gotta admit as a german, it took me a while to find it funny that he destroyed one
especially considering what it would be worth now :S
