    My friends Dad at 70 sold his Architecture business and bought this exact car, only in a gun-metal grey. He had a 911 on his desk for 30 years and said he'd always buy one.
    Coolest old chap in town! haha

      I’m aiming 50 B day 😆 Got 11 years left to make it happen. Dark blue exterior, dark red interior, red top. For now the M2 will have to do...

    The 911 is quite simply the best car ever made. So many different versions, and they're all beautiful and amazing. It's iconic and somehow even after all these years, it keeps getting better and better.

    Turbo S 3.3 seconds ? even the official Porsche numbers are 2.9 and everybody knows they never give the real numbers. the turbo s goes on every test in about 2.5-2.7 up to 62

    Anyone who owns a pre-facelift Targa GTS with a manual transmission really needs to hold onto that. It will be such a collector's item

    The 991 is the first targa I like the look of. My mates uncle has one and it's stunning in real life. The exhaust note is beautiful as well but then he has the NA engine

      @adfa1994 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      QuickQuips
      But even though the website (porsche official claim) is 2.9
      Some tested it and hit 2.7-2.5 , it really is one of the most underrated acceleration cars of all time , people often point out how fast is v10 plus or the nismo gtr or mclaren 650 is , but truth is , 911 turbo s is up there with them

    Targa GTS (preferably a real wheel drive) will be my next car.

  • @JoJoJoker
    @JoJoJoker 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Those 0-60 times are extremely conservative. Would bet the C4GTS will hit it in around 3.1 seconds.

    • @willywillywillywillywilly

      Absolutely. Car and Driver already has PDK Carrera Ss around that time.

    • @gmansplit
      @gmansplit 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      And the Turbo S does it in 2.5. He was almost a full second off of the actual time when he said it was 3.3

      George Fast and easy. Like McDonalds. K.....I’ll stick with a little less fast a little less easy, a lot more satisfying and a whole lot more entertaining. I’ve had 6 911s over the years. Haven’t bought an auto yet. I’m with CLS63 above.... I’d bloody love a Targa 2 Manual if Porsche made one.

  • @andrewipp426
    @andrewipp426 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I just watch the 2015 review on the NA version, (really well done btw) I really like the Targa bar version of this car, one I would seriously consider writing a check for.... but I am really wondering how much additional weight is added to the vehicle with the electrically operating roof/trunk mechanism and God forbid it malfunctions. I am wondering if buyers would want just a manually unlock & remove lift off roof that you store in the rear section behind the seats, personally I would like a version like that keep it simpler and still have that very cool throwback silver targa bar!!

    Yeah I know it's off-topic..

    • @Guuggel

      Perhaps not as it is but they sure will have to replace Continental sometime soon.

      @sneaky_krait7271 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Guuggel No I know that the new continental will have a design close to the exp 10, you can see that on the spyshots. The car Im talking about is another modelline. But I dont know if they are going to bring that on the market.

  • @p_kf
    @p_kf 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Turbo S in actuality is about 2.6-2.7 to 60. This will most likely be 3.1-3.2. They conservatively rate them to widen the gap between models to steer the buyer closer to one or the other

    3:05 the Turbo S does a 2.6 0-60, way faster than the GTS. The Turbo S is the best all around 911, hands down. Beauty, speed, functionality, practicality, and exclusivity. Dream car.

  • @jamesellsworth9673
    @jamesellsworth9673 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Makes me wish I still had the money to buy a Porsche again. I used mine as a daily driver as well as a weekend touring machine. As long as this trick top is stable when up it is a good thing, easy to stow. With all-wheel drive it will work on roads in any weather and the rear wheels will be better behaved in the 'twisties.' The steering wheel cover looks sueded--not a good thing for longer-term appearance. In traffic or on long drives, I never did like to hear so much engine/tire noise so this model could be exactly to my taste.

  • @jamesvanleuven4216
    @jamesvanleuven4216 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This would make a nice comfortable daily driver, though I personally would use a manual transmission, primarily due to my lack of interest in automatics, in spite of the PDK. It just seems uninteresting.
