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.
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
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
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
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
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!!
He is dreadful. Just awful. He might actually be worse than Richard Hammond. Never thought I'd say that. And says almost nothing about the car, other than the absolute basics.
Mr. Carfection! First I want to say that I am your fan! Second I would like to ask a question: are you a fan of Porsche? is what it seems. Congratulations from Brazil
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.
Now I'm early I might get a reaction from you. DO you know more about the 2 seater Bentley? Will they bring it on the market? Yeah I know it's off-topic..
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.
It is incredible how Porsche can keep this car updated and beautiful over the years without loosing the base style identity. Probably is the car with most variants versions in the car industry. lol
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.
so does this GTS pull a 2.8 to 100km like the motorTrend one did? i cant tell if its real anymore...thats the old turbo numbers, this is crazy!!!! for 450 hp??? to pull 2.8!!!!!
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
If I could afford one I would get the manual Targa 4 GTS not the PDK. I have an uncle who has a 74' SC targa, and is the reason I fell in love with Porsche to begin with.
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.
I'm not a Porsche guy, but this would be the one I'd get. I love targas and I'd drive it with the top down all the time. An after-market exhaust should fix the awful sound.

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 Cape Town backdrop is amazing!
Hello there fellow Capetonian.
John van Blerk I'm also Capetonian!
John van Blerk ...and another
Saw them everyday in Cape Town. Was so nice to see. They were staying at the Vineyard Hotel. Great video again from these guys.
Beware of Crime and Murders in South Africa.
the targa looks good in red with the black wheels
Beautifully presented, shot and edited as usual. We done as per guys.
That Targa is achingly beautiful
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
Michael McDonald k
No
My dream car. Perfect balance of everything
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
My dream to own a Porsche!
Michael Archer me too. Its so singular
South Africa, Cape Town, what a beautiful place
True. I wonder how safe its is to test a new 911 there.
hahahaha,coming from Joburg the one thing that's noticeable when you get to Cape Town is just how semi common Porsche cars are out there.its insane.
unnaturalone petrol prices have gone up so I am sure they will stick to toyotas and VW's for now
The Targa GTS is the one Porsche that I'd considering to own for everyday driving. Still sounds amazing!
Targa GTS (preferably a real wheel drive) will be my next car.
Porsche need to launch all of their models in Cape Town going forward
3.3 s for turbos? that's pure bs
its 2.7
PredatorZ4321 yea was thinking the same thing
Well, he said 0-62 not 60. But yeah, it's still BS. Check the Porsche website.
Willy Lamb Porsche is notorious for underreporting acceleration times though.
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
A very beautiful configuration, this Targa !
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.

Hands down the most beautiful Porsche out there. Is it the one to buy? Maybe not but it is gorgeous.
Best looking and best performance of all 911, in my opinion 😊 wish one day I could own it!
That colour is fantastic
a 911.2 turbo s hits 60 in 2.6 not 3.3 lol
porsche always undermines their times
logankatzify I wonder how fast your Ford Fiesta gets to 60...lol
He is dreadful. Just awful. He might actually be worse than Richard Hammond. Never thought I'd say that.
And says almost nothing about the car, other than the absolute basics.
the coolest 911
Turbo S
Alex! You guys went to Cape Town and didn't do a meet and greet. AAAAHHHH 😢 you have so many fans here
The video is beautiful, good job with the edit and shooting.
Love the car lovely as well.
I love that rear window.
funny, i was looking at this car online today. R2mil for the GTS base model. So in love with this beauty.
Excellent video! What color is it?
Those 0-60 times are extremely conservative. Would bet the C4GTS will hit it in around 3.1 seconds.
Absolutely. Car and Driver already has PDK Carrera Ss around that time.
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
Love your videos! Better than some of the biggest names in my opinion.
Great review! Keen for the Panamera review, the new model actually looks nice.
Not been a big fan of the 911 (991.2) up until I seen this, I love the two tone paint & those rims. Great video as always :)
Love this dude's vids, best reviewer in the business. Cheers brother!!
For Ferrari's F1 Feature its the Manatino switch on the steering wheel. For the Porsche its the "center locking wheel caps" lol.
Mr. Carfection! First I want to say that I am your fan! Second I would like to ask a question: are you a fan of Porsche? is what it seems. Congratulations from Brazil
That's a very pretty car, gorgeous spec.
Absolutely stunning!
Give me manual RWD 991.1 Targa and I'll be set for life
noo just noo. stay with the 7speed PDK . fast and easy
Does that have a manual?😂😍
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.
Is that revival of cassete-deck at 03:49 ??? :-)))))))
I think it's just the cover of the SD card slot :-((((((
i know but it looked so funny at a glance i thought "WTF ... cassete-deck in a 911.2 2017" :-)))
I love to see you guys do videos of more normal affordable cars.
I love this guy
The GTS is the perfectt 991 , my dream car
Now I'm early I might get a reaction from you.
DO you know more about the 2 seater Bentley? Will they bring it on the market?
Yeah I know it's off-topic..
Perhaps not as it is but they sure will have to replace Continental sometime soon.
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.
Great review as always but he did neglect to say something about the wind blowing in the car with the top down. Something that has plagued Targa cars.
The best daily GT ever Period.
Love this video....911 Targa S is my dream car! It's all about the roof...
It is incredible how Porsche can keep this car updated and beautiful over the years without loosing the base style identity. Probably is the car with most variants versions in the car industry. lol
I love your guys' reviews its like a more serious version of carthrottle! which can ne good sometimes 😌
wtf wrong with the roll hoop trim at 1:19? Did it get bumped loose by someone or did it come like that?
What about a review of the new panamera turbo?
But you are pretty great humans, I love your channel!
Amazing car. I'd love to own a 997 4GTS.
Beautiful.
Well I'm sold... why am I not rich!
my favourite 911!!
.... and it comes with papapa ppapapa exhaust !!
Really wonderfull car! I'm starting to gettin in love with 911's 😍
Gust a question, at 4.32, how were you driving with the motor at idle ? 😂
I'll have this in a manual, the Panamera hybrid and a Cayman S in a really track-focused spec please 👍
The best all around 911 you can get.
at 3:48, is that a cassette player?
Great review Zcar
That is the prettiest 911 I've seen. That red on black combo is sublime. Just so damn overpriced in Oz
I'm so smitten with the new GTS.
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.
are you guys going to do a best sounding cars for 2016? loved the one from last year
Having owned 930 and 993 turbos - they were the ones to have .now porshe gives you turbo as standard ,some say the non turbos are the ones to have ?
that is one beautiful car
so does this GTS pull a 2.8 to 100km like the motorTrend one did? i cant tell if its real anymore...thats the old turbo numbers, this is crazy!!!! for 450 hp??? to pull 2.8!!!!!
My favourite 911 😍
This is my dream 911
At 4:34, he seems to be driving at 700 rpm. How come?
Jose C. When cruising off throttle, PDK declutches gear and the engine is left idling.
Didn't know that, thanks.
Amazing car!
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
Very nice
The best driver's 911 is the RWD Gen2 997S. Manual gearbox... No question!
What's wrong with Targa B-post/arch at 1:22?
Shot in South Africa? :)
id love see this guy review the all generation of m5s. just the way they did for m3.
Where was the video filmed?? It looks so beautiful there....
Cape Town. And yes, it is.
3.5 second 0-60 in a convertible. Nothing beats a porsche.
Magnifique ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love Porsche 911...be it new, or old...be it Carrera or Turbo, or whatever model, I am an enthusiast of this car...
Fernando Rodrigues me too. What car!
going to work hard in life so I can one day buy one #porschegoals
Do new Porsches not come with the LED day time running lights strips? I'm sure all new Porsches in the UK have LED DRL
I wouldn't have guess South Africa, thought it was on one of the Canary Isles.
That was good. I do so enjoy your reviews.
I was very taken with the "burning Dinosaurs" comment, Very droll.
Thanks for this. Enjoy your day.
WF
If I could afford one I would get the manual Targa 4 GTS not the PDK. I have an uncle who has a 74' SC targa, and is the reason I fell in love with Porsche to begin with.
How did you like the track itself there? ;)
Love it 😎
do you use a drone to film this and if you do can you name it
Im just hoping by the time i can get a porsche they havent made them look horrible
make it white, hard top, PDK, GTS and that's perfection.
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.
buy it.
So you brought a left hand drive porsche all the way down to South Africa???
Lol, Porsche did on their press release
But will you be able to get one? My local dealer only got two of the the previous model...
Why go turbo?? Either NA or change everything and go electric. Looking forward to the first electric 911
waiting for the review ferrari 488 gtb n gtb spider
I'm not a Porsche guy, but this would be the one I'd get. I love targas and I'd drive it with the top down all the time. An after-market exhaust should fix the awful sound.
1:19 wtf the roof D:
Informative vid. Thanks
