step0601 I love Tom. I’m pretty sure all of the happiness in Germany was drained from the people and siphoned into Tom. Because he just exudes pure joy, and I have never seen another German do that.
Thank you for reminding me of the simultaneous combination of pure terror/joy that comes from driving at the limit on the track! Somehow the terror is part of the joy. Love it in a car, and it’s massively amplified on a sport bike.
I love all of these videos you make! I hope you stopped at the little Italian place in town to get lunch. It's a must when you're there. Edit: This is an awesome instructor session by Porsche, with verbal instructions from a car in front of you showing you the line. What a great way to learn the track and the car.
Pinocchio? I always go there before I leave Nürburg/Adenau, but certainly not for lunch, because I can barely drive home after their huge pizzas. Also -- thank you.
The first time I thought I had been given a large Pizza instead of the regular one,so did the table next to me, they were quite surprised when they got their 3 "regular" pizzas, they are simply amazing
I usually hit the Ring up once a year as my parent company is in Darmstadt and I come over for training. It's not cheap (as I have to rent) but always worth it. How often do you get to drive the Ring?
Not nearly as often as I'd like to -- this season, I drove four laps in a Twingo RS and what you saw in this video. The season before that, I was luckier in that I had a few press cars that I was allowed to drive on the Ring. I study the track on video and read as much as I can all year long though (+ Project CARS)
This guy is my favorite German reviewer. Thomas from Autogefuel is great, but he drives like my grandmother, and has the same sense of humor as her, too. Overall, I would say this guy is among the top 5 reviewers in Europe.
This is the best video I have watched in quite some time. Absolutely epic and exactly how the 911 was designed to be driven. The best part....a helluva ride home after the track day.
I had Timo for the Sportauto Fahrdynamiktraining as an instructor, simply amazing and brillant man, can't imagine how much fun 2 days with him at the Nordschleife must be
Tom is an awesome tester/reviewer, imho. His enthusiasm is infectious! He should go on Porsche staff selling the PDK to drivers preferring manuals like myself.
This was one of the best video displays of the C4S at peck performance I've ever seen!! My heart was in my mouth and the leather from my office chair was stuck in my ass! Strangely I found Tom's exuberance hilarious and mesmerizing. Just imagine if he was driving the GT2.
SteveRunciman I think he would love it but in an entirely different way than this. It would be awesome. Especially with how much Grand Tour (when it was Top Gear still) loved the souped up Raptor and Silverado. Clarkson actually described it as driving and feeling like an Aston Martin on the highway, and he admitted that he now understood why Americans love the new style of pickup truck (the ones that are more luxurious and not exclusively utilitarian).
Didn't realize you guys were in here in Germany until I saw the 'gram posts. Would of been nice to meet you all there but it looks like you guys had a great time.
I love this car.. but once I hit 40k miles I had to go for it and upgrade the intake, turbos, exhaust and tune taking it from the 443hp to 638hp. It’s a night and day feeling. Can be scary at times. These cars need to be respected as much as they’re loved!
seriously man.. you are my FAVOURITE youtube carshow host!!!! I have a 2018 911 Carrera 4-GTS arriving in January..and you are making me so much more excited! thank you for all you do!
Great video. I went there in 2015 for and open track day with open pit lane and it was one of my best days in my life. And you don't need a 911 to have that much fun, although it helps :)
I remember the quality of the roads while in Germany this past June/July on my motorcycle tour. Perfect roads without a ripple. Little wonder why I hardly drive my 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS in Canada. We have s**t roads here compared to Germany. The ripples, the potholes, the bumps...welcome to Canada.
Seems that if you get PCCB on this car you get these odd calipers with six 30mm pistons, which seems like a really odd choice. Seems to be just asking to turn your brake pads into door stops. As an owner of a car with PCCB (Not a 911), I think you're better off getting the standard brakes and getting aftermarket iron or CFRC brakes (Continuous Fiber Reinforced Ceramic, I believe it stands for). A few reasons, particularly if you track a lot: - Stock brembo calipers (PCCB and otherwise) have solid bridges, meaning the caliper has to come off to change the pads, and Porsche recommends you don't reuse caliper bolts. - Stock steel brakes are these goofy cross drilled units, you don't need the holes and they just serve to make the disc weaker. Worth noting that the much heavier Cayenne does not use cross drilled rotors. -PCCBs cooked the caliper piston seals, I believe this is because the stock caliper pistons are aluminum and PCCB discs run much hotter. I replaced mine with stainless steel pistons and this hasn't happened again. -If/When PCCBs get too hot, the carbon begins burning off, leading to them not lasting "longer enough" than iron discs to make sense. CFRC discs run at a similar temperature to iron discs.
Amazing video! Captured the excitement of the day so well. Having this opportunity is once in a life time. Chasing Timo and then having him drive in the car with you was an amazing experience. You can improve your driving leaps and bounds when having an instructor of that caliber for a couple days. Suddenly the confidence and knowledge you have of what a Porsche 911 can do will change how you drive forever. great video, thanks!!!
Emotions...! What a car and what a nice video to watch. Talking and driven to the limit at the same time , I don't think i can. What a great car. And surpriced the yellow Boxter could 'just' hold up...So what would be the real limit of this car...As I see in the other comments Tom and Chris Harris are great to watch.
Man does that bring back memories, now I wish I had this instead of the Suzuki Swift club sport... but it was just as exhilarating. The closest thing I have to the ring is Autobahn Raceway in Joliet down the street. To bad entry isn't as easy as the ring. ie. Pay an Go.
damn, the 718s really kept up. if only they didnt sound uglier than the 981s why couldnt porsche do a 2.5(or 6 or 7) liter single turbo flat 6? still wont meet emissions?
driving with a zen like approach on public roads after the nurburgring... I'm the opposite after a track day, I end up going double the speed limit and barely slowing down while completely relaxed inside the car
Volle Möhre am Brennen, ey! Loved the "german jibberish" bit :-) This clip was great entertainment and even more motivation to go back to the ring next year. Well done.
Totally awesome video - well done Thomas! I was really engaged, alternately chuckling and holding my breath. And now I need a Porsche, thank you - time to get lottery tickets...
Damn! That crashed Corvette says a lot. I absolutely love Corvettes for what they are but, you can't just be some novice and drive it safely. There is a steep learning curve with it and it takes years to figure out the character traits of any performance car.
Something tells me that in spite of how amazing this car is, if Tom ever got a chance to drive something like a 1LE Camaro SS, 1LE ZL1 Camaro, a Shelby GT350R he would be having nearly the exact amount of fun but at a quarter of the price. Porsche’s are fantastic, but they are nowhere near worth the money.
I could feel Tom's excitement phasing through the TV! Well done, man. That authenticity of emotion is golden stuff. Looking forward to the "Zen-like" road test of the 991.2 4S.

"are you kidding me" - freaken awesome ! Great job Tom & EverydayDriver for putting out such great automotive content ! I had a blast .... cheers :)
We need more vids from Tom. You can really feel his passion for cars. Love it. Tom and Chris Harris on top gear would be spot on.
Agreed!
step0601 I love Tom. I’m pretty sure all of the happiness in Germany was drained from the people and siphoned into Tom. Because he just exudes pure joy, and I have never seen another German do that.
FallaciousScotsman if German stoicism was a dam, Tom just broke a big socking hole through it
holy molly! I havent felt that much excitement in a car video in so long!! well done.
I can see my house and car at 0:12 :D
Let me ask you this -- have you ever seen aerial photography of Nürburg and your house wasn't in the frame? That seems almost impossible. :-D ^Tom
Foreals?
True, it was also in drivetribe M4 GT4 24hrs
Gregorius Hermawan what's better, it is in the movie Rush when Lauda drives on the streets of Nürburg.
Misha Charoudin maybe the real one too, how old is that house? It was a good call to keep the house and barn, less capacity but beautifully done
Thank you for reminding me of the simultaneous combination of pure terror/joy that comes from driving at the limit on the track! Somehow the terror is part of the joy. Love it in a car, and it’s massively amplified on a sport bike.
This video is flippin epic. Well done Tom and crew.

not many people have the ability to make you feel excited as they are by just watching them. Great content. thank you!
This is the best video I have watched in quite some time. Absolutely epic and exactly how the 911 was designed to be driven. The best part....a helluva ride home after the track day.
I love Tom’s reactions. Educated but not jaded. So rare to see genuine emotions of that level. Well made video guys. More, more, more.
I had Timo for the Sportauto Fahrdynamiktraining as an instructor, simply amazing and brillant man, can't imagine how much fun 2 days with him at the Nordschleife must be
I had a big grin on my face several times throughout this video. Amazing.
If this ever becomes a possibility for me it will undoubtedly be the high point of my life, my family will understand
You have to got to automotive Mekka once in your life. And once you have done it you want to return :)
Tom is an awesome tester/reviewer, imho. His enthusiasm is infectious!
He should go on Porsche staff selling the PDK to drivers preferring manuals like myself.
Another fabulous video Tom! I was smiling and laughing along with you as you properly hooned that 4S :) WELL DONE
It's a long time ago that a youtube video actually physically excited me :-)
das hast du und dein Team echt gut gemacht!
This was one of the best video displays of the C4S at peck performance I've ever seen!! My heart was in my mouth and the leather from my office chair was stuck in my ass! Strangely I found Tom's exuberance hilarious and mesmerizing. Just imagine if he was driving the GT2.
Best video on this channel so far!
Tom needs to come to America and to review something like a jacked up Ford Raptor on a ranch in Texas.
SteveRunciman I think he would love it but in an entirely different way than this. It would be awesome. Especially with how much Grand Tour (when it was Top Gear still) loved the souped up Raptor and Silverado. Clarkson actually described it as driving and feeling like an Aston Martin on the highway, and he admitted that he now understood why Americans love the new style of pickup truck (the ones that are more luxurious and not exclusively utilitarian).

Dude ! great video looks like you loved every minute off it :-)
Brilliant video Tom. Thanks from Australia!
Can that boy drive!! No mention of the cup holders, which is how a Porsche review should be - balls to the wall!!!
My new favourite video. Absolutely.
I'm the same way on track. My adrenaline spikes like crazy! LOL
Saugeil. Danke! Mehr!
Without watching this video and initially hearing the voice, thought it was Lars from Metallica behind the wheel.
Excellent video Man !!!!!!!
Great great video! (Thx for posting) - LOVE that car...
thats the 911 magic. A track ready car which can be used every day.... too bad i will never be able to afford one
Epic video 👍
Love your videos keep up the good work 👍
brilliant, absolutely brilliant
seriously man.. you are my FAVOURITE youtube carshow host!!!! I have a 2018 911 Carrera 4-GTS arriving in January..and you are making me so much more excited! thank you for all you do!
Great Video! Well Done!
Your accent is insane. And brilliant.
Well done Tom!
I like the One Lap Heroes sticker.
You look cool because the car does all the work with all of its nannies!! Lol
Everydaydriver with Tom is better then the US version.
i need a smoke
I would love to drive that track one day
So, did you like the 4S?
My hands are sweating.
Great video. I went there in 2015 for and open track day with open pit lane and it was one of my best days in my life. And you don't need a 911 to have that much fun, although it helps :)
That looked amazing. Very rarely can you almost feel the exhilaration of a driver in a TH-cam video. This was great
Crazy review. I just loved it. I appreciate the effort you put to get this footage for us, viewers. Thank you.
3:17 it's a pity that expression could never be used in a Porsche advertisement. You can't really say "You too could be pulling this face".
Can't wait to see the new 911, great vid and review..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"
Porsche PPDC PSTC PCDC and PISS (OFF)

Awesome video. Looks like a blast. Great video editing as well. Thank you!!!
one of the best videos i have ever watched, i'm subscribing because of it. great job.
Lovely content!
00:12 you can see a true legend somewhere, the one and only VW Sub7UP!
What an epic video!
26 laps in a day and a half!? Wow! That's a lot.
"Mountain Road?" Hardly a mountain road. Now the Gross Glockner or the Stilfserjoch, those are mountain roads.
Motorcar Heaven- absolutely LOVED this vid- best Porsche vid on TH-cam by far 🥰🤪🥰
Funny fact: If you plan to race the car, DO NOT get the PCCB, you'll be better off with the base S brakes
The pure joy Tom experiences was great to watch. Had me smiling as I watched.
Summer. Fantastic weather. The ring. A proper 911. Paradise.
i watch this at least once a week. Its simply the best. so much fun!
Let this madman drive more often
What a fun video! Loved Tom's excitement!
Freakin' Awesome!
Get Tom some screen time on Velocity. Awesome video
Did he learn English by watching Bill Burr's comedy specials?
Subscribed.
I prefer the reviewers for everyday driver from the American version. Those guys are awesome.
Yes, sorry Tom and Paul. This video is the best video by a long shot
I got pregnant watching this video!!!
Meine Güte, wie kann man nur so viel Quatsch reden. Und dazu noch diese gespielte Aufregen. Schlimmer geht nimmer

Loved the "german jibberish" bit :-) This clip was great entertainment and even more motivation to go back to the ring next year. Well done.
Did I just see a Buick in that race line up?
Totally awesome video - well done Thomas! I was really engaged, alternately chuckling and holding my breath. And now I need a Porsche, thank you - time to get lottery tickets...
Classical Music seems to work for me too, while driving the Ring. 23.07.2017 Nordschleife 718 Boxster S, 8.29 BtG
Love your enthusiasm man
My God. Once the credits start rolling at 20 minutes I can't pull myself away and just keep watching that view out the windshield. Sheesh.
Damn! That crashed Corvette says a lot. I absolutely love Corvettes for what they are but, you can't just be some novice and drive it safely. There is a steep learning curve with it and it takes years to figure out the character traits of any performance car.

Porsche’s are fantastic, but they are nowhere near worth the money.
Nobody ever bought a Porsche for being a performance bargain, but I agree about the ZL1/350.
Agreed, but Ford and Chevy have nothing that approaches the PDK
I could feel Tom's excitement phasing through the TV! Well done, man. That authenticity of emotion is golden stuff. Looking forward to the "Zen-like" road test of the 991.2 4S.
Amazing video by your European correspondent as per usual. I never knew a 4S is such an incredible monster of a car either, wow!
Awesome bro I love the video great job👍
German is one of the coolest sounding languages.
That was one of the Best videos I’ve ever seen..
It was flipping epic Tom..
I had a smile from about 56 seconds till the very last second
untranslatable German gibberish......lmao
Awesome car it's nice to see a car take a driver out for a ride. See what I did there.
I had to hold onto my office chair real tight for this video... Great job EverydayDriver!
What an epic video. Big like
JUST FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
Best EDE video yet!!! I cannot wait to do this. I MUST get on the Ring!
