cedric burmann Porsche have certainly got the exhaust situation the wrong way round. The standard factory system should be round pipes and the sports exhaust squared quad pipes. Can’t see why it should be otherwise!
After watching TGE spec one yesterday I noticed a lot of things that I’d spec If I was lucky enough to be able to buy one. Thanks for the review I enjoyed it.
A lot of talk about it being overpriced but currently not many for sale and many people who have enquired about buying one have been told 6-12+ months build time. Autotrader has 2 on currently 30k over list. Old 991.2 started around 150k optioned and are still holding around 110-120 after years. I would say a good choice if you can get an early slot and keep for a year ish. But for a similar price you can get second hand 720s/performante which may be more value for money??
Is this the way you and your friends talk to each other when you're driving? It's so grossly pretentious that I'd have to punch myself in the nose at the end of every embarrassing sentence . I hope that you have no plans to date a German woman. They tend to find value in the design and performance of a machine rather than the pandering trendiness of it's shortsighted, foreign driver. And just after the first corner, you''ll find that they can punch surprisingly hard too
Yes!!! My all time favourite!!! Porsche 911 Turbo S!!! I absolutely love this car!!!😍 Although I prefer the coupé version of the car, I don't really like the convertible top...
Hi Sam I'm glad you're able to post videos back-to-back a lot of TH-camrs sad after they start posting often the viewership and subscribers had increased significantly hopefully that happens to you as well love the content and when you come back to the US pay a visit to Boston will be something different will a lot of history and great cars keep up the good work
How come you do a review without ever telling people the manufacturers name for the color of paint a long with the top? People see cars they like and many can’t see colors right because of poor vision. If you want to but that one that has that color you don’t know what it is.
Everyone loved the 458 better than the 488 because it sounded much better. In this case, the 992 Turbo S actually sounds much better than the previous Turbo S’ because it’s the first time it’s had sport exhaust as an option. It’s also better than the previous 991 in every other way including the staggered 20/21 wheel setup which you also forgot to mention. The back end looks WAY better also. Full disclosure though…..I have a 992 Turbo S on order and just sold my 991. Still don’t see how someone could see it any other way. :-)
The turbo makes complete sense to me. Comfy, very fast, understated, usable, extremely reliable. If money were no object I would have this car over almost everything. It would certainly be in my garage. Great video Sam.
For the £170k that car is I would rather buy a 1992 Ferrari 355 at £65k, 2017 Audi RS5 for £45k and a 2001 Skyline gtr r34 vspec 11 for £60k and have a far better time for the money
Great video....I am the Turbos S driver ....you conveyed the whole thing well....there is an expectancy.....we take for granted the awesome delivery of this car....it does everything so well and doesn't break down or insist you fill the tank every 80 miles.....I think it's understated in every way......performance ....looks.....comfort......incredibly well engineered but lacks a little soul....I would still have one every day of the week over the competition....0 to 124mph in 8.9 secs.....crazy...
That was Superb Sam 😁🙂 I think it's fair to say you are impressed with the way the new Turbo S variant of the 992 goes then 🥰😉👍🏻 And my God is that thing FAST!!! 😲🙂 Thank you for Another Epic video with brilliant content as always expected from yourself 🙂 I do think it's size & price are over inflated (pun intended 🙂😉) But I agree, I think I'd still punt for the outgoing 991 Look forward to the next video, Stay safe out there, All the best, Mark 🙂👍🏻
Not everyone wants the GT product. I’ve had a couple of 911 Turbo S models and regularly travel 35k miles a year across Europe. I want to be happy it will start in the morning and something that is gun and comfortable. Live with one for a year and do some proper trips and you will find it difficult to find a successor ! My new one arrives in sept ! And it’s a convertible ! More important you don’t have to beg and jump hoops to buy this model from the dealer. They almost and I mean almost treat you like a valued client for ordering one !
This was effectively a press launch. First time UK media have been able to get their hands on the new Turbo S. One coupe, one cabriolet and hundreds of media to get through. As time goes, they will be able to loan the cars for longer. Right now, I'm just grateful I got the chance to drive it so early on
Great video Sam!! The Turbo S is wider and has more stance than a Carrera S. I have one one order and my thought is "why not get the king of the 911s" :) It´s the look, the stance, the power, backseat for my kids and it´s not that flashy. There are not many supercars with this performance that the whole family can do road trips in!!
Ill sum it up, if i have the cash for 10 supercars i will buy a Turbo but if im a normal guy with 1 supercar i would rather have something more alive!!
This video gets a like purely based on the fact that the car was Gentian Blue ... such a gorgeous colour. As much as I admire the performance of the Turbo S, I wouldn't choose that model as all that performance is wasted on the roads. I think a Carrera S would provide more useable fun every day ... having said that ... the GT3 is looming :)
I still believe that it is the 997 Turbo S that is the ultimate Porsche daily for UK roads. Its small enough to fit down them easily, which the 991 kind of isn't at least down here in Devon, never mind the 992.
Hi Sam. I understand you seek more thrilling experiences however for a lot of people who just want a simple and pleasant ownership (Porsche quality) and are not into the most extreme this is just the best. Unrivaled performance for the price
I think the biggest thing they did was really differentiate this car by its looks. I think most non-car people couldn't tell the difference between a 997 and a 991.2. That's a lotttt of years of Porsche's that look very similar. The 992 has a unmistakably new look, and I love it.
Noticed a slight mistake in the video where you said that the Turbo is as wide as the regular Carreras now. It is true that the 992 Carreras now have a wider rear track regardless if they’re RWD or AWD but the new turbo models actually have a slightly even wider rear track at that then the Carreras. Other than that, it was a great video to see like always.
You’re right, but as I said in the video, their mirror to mirror width is actually the same. And the rear track is only 50mm wider so hardly anything in it
I get the 458/488 comparison because the 458 sounds a lot better. This car though not only is better in every way than the 991…….AND with having sport exhaust for the first time on a TTS it sounds better too!! 992 all the way.
Fast forward to 13:20 and watch 10 seconds. Sums it up. Great looking car but I totally agree with you on price. A nicely specced 992 Turbo S Cabriolet comes in at £175,000. That is a lot of wonga for a 911.
Sam, the 992 Turbo has, in fact, a wider track than the 992 carrera. Just like always. Where things have changed however, is the difference between a standard carrera 2 and carrera 4. They now share the same width, where as in the past the 4 had a wider track than the 2.
I don't think I've ever seen a supercar with literally nothing negative about it by every TH-cam car reviewing channel (Overall review). It literally won every driver. I could put my life savings that every reviewer had a similar stunned+laughing reaction. Porsche outdid themselves in this car.
Spot on about 458 vs 488 I had the option myself and after driving both purchased a 458 it is just a lot more fun to drive even though its the lesser car.
All makes sense Sam. Not wierd. It is because the fun that results from a mechanical, connected and unique experience is being dialled out of all cars as a result of regulations, digitalisation and trying to appeal to a mass market. These are common factors in 992 vs 991 and 488 vs 458 and more. The good news is that many people like easier and faster cars and have the money, which helps depreciation. So, for those of us who prefer the previous gen they will become more affordable. At least, until they are classics... Keep safe.
They worked with ZF for this dual clutch. I suspect that might be why it's an 8 speed. Honestly, I think more manufacturers should be doing this for their DCT, heck why doesn't ZF just offer up a DCT 8 speed. 🤔
Great vid Sam I agree with much. I have a build slot on a cab not sure what to do!....Watch out on my channel for head to head against my DMS 991.2 Turbo S Cab coming soon......
As a former Porsche employee, I applaud your enthusiasm and real understanding of the nature of Porsche compared to other manufacturers. We live and breath the heritage rest of our lives even I don't work for the company anymore. Every morning at 9:11 o'clock I salute towards the Stuttgart (not really).
I think the argument begins to be "design" or "performance" based. I, too, prefer the 991, Sam. It's not like the improvements are humongous leaps and bounds from a day-to-day driving perspective. Could you do launch control all day? Sure. But no one will. ;). Great video
I have to say I agree. I like the « analogness » of my 991.2 more, even if it is a pdk. The 992 looks big and all the screens... the 991 was the perfect compromise between the roughness of the 997 and modern comfort. I might still change my mind with the 992.2 but for now, not a huge fan.
Great blue exterior and love the color matched top, also the wheel color is very nice...of course the 911TurboS is still a beast and better than the other exotic car brands named early on in the video.
Sam, that was bloody amazing! Love the delivery of the content, was really engaging and entertaining. That was a great overall, real life review. The interior and exterior shots (especially of the spoiler retracting) were superb. I've never liked Porsche, but this Turbo S looks great. Given it a thumbs up and waiting for plenty more videos to come
Hey Sam, your main cam in this video is the GH5 right? What resolution are you filming in? I'd just suggest trying out the High Resolution Anamorphic Mode, aka 6K 4:3, 4992x3744, HEVC, 200Mbps.... it would give you a slightly wider angle and when you punch in, you'd have much more space to do so. Really like this new in car angle, it now really feels like you're the passenger. Oh and also the car is great!
Samuel! Need I remind you that you are British. You need to drive a proper British motor. May I suggest Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bentley, or... Shape up young man. Do it for Queen, and Country. I will expect a big change with you very soon. I know, I know. I have no room to talk. I am American, and drive ONLY Jaguar. I do aspire to Bentley though. Seriously though. When people dream of cars they REALLY don't give enough respect to the British marques. On behalf of America, I will say thank you for some brilliant examples of luxury, and refinement! A British car fan.
I love hearing car TH-camrs complain about the price of cars. 170K IS A STEAL! The absolute base model of this car costs 531.000 GBP in Denmark (4.456.225 DKK - price on Porsche.dk website) BTW, awesome video!
Another superb vid Sam. Maybe it's the lack occasion; i.e. yes it's ballistic but otherwise soulless?!?!? Possibly lacks the drama a Ferrari 360 / 430 / 458 gives at any speed (not just hard acceleration). Also, at circa £60k more than a 'cooking' 992, it's no longer the value for money super-car it once was. Sure, it will sell, and as you say, they are renowned for being bulletproof and can be used daily without a second thought, but once the time-warp acceleration has lost its allure, what's left to get the adrenaline flowing.......
I completely understand where you are coming from with the 991 and 992. Will be buying an SVO Defender 110 but will always keep my 1998 D90. 992 reminds me of a Bentley Continental. I would pick the 2020 Continental over the 992.
The Turbo S is for introverts. We want to go unnoticed. That doesn't mean that we don't want to go fast. But we do do for our own satisfaction, not to get reaction from anyone else. The quieter the car, the better. Eg. I drive a Toyota Blade Master: factory 276bhp 3.5 V6 in a Corolla / Auris body. Cost me about £4,000-equivalent. Love it.
agree completely.. I'm a 991.2 C2S owner and I've driven two 992 S variants, coupe and convertible and they feel completely underwhelming compared to my own car which now feels "old skool" compared with a 992. My father has a 991.2 Cab C2S and feels exactly the same. 992 is too polished and lacks a rawness people thought was gone in the 991...
How is Sam Not on TV ?? Brilliant, just ordered a brand new Porsche Cayman 718 yesterday from Porsche Bolton, should buy from them in Bolton they are brilliant!! Should arrive later in the year as production only dtartedcagain in May, can't wait I'm buzzing !! My 2nd ever Porsche, they are the best brand ever...
God this is a million years behind a McLaren 720S spider. McLaren = Proper SUPERcar Porsche = Decent but expensive SPORTS car. TBH rather have an entry model McLaren 570S Spider or a used 720S
I don't think the 458/488 analogy quite works in this context - I would imagine anybody pining for the 458 over the 488 is doing so because of the naturally aspirated engine sound versus the turbo charged engine, whereas your generation 991 and the new 992 are both turbo charged engines which have already lost a bit of the character of the NA flat six engine from the 991.1. Then again, there's no denying this is a heftier car than the 991.2, and the cabriolet simply adds to the feeling that it's just a bit of a chunker. I imagine everybody will go mad for the GT products and whatever Carrera T equivalent Porsche put out when this generation is on its last legs. Having owned both 991.2 and 992 Carrera S models, I personally prefer the 992 in pretty much every way, with the possible exception of the slightly odd gear selector and the fact that so many of the drive settings are now buried in menus in the infotainment system.
Very nice video. I guess I just don't get it. I've been a car guy for 30+ years and I'd have an F8>488>458 and easily a 992>991>996. I dunno, maybe that's just me.... Anyway, absolutely love this thing!

Have to say, Porsche did a good job with that soft-top. It folllows the lines so much better than previous iterations.
Agreed and the mechanism is so quick!
Definitely, when I first saw the thumbnail I thought: Wow what a beautiful blue 911 coupe.
Agreed. I see more manufacturers are finally doing soft top convertibles justice..
totally agree
Have to say, thanks Sam
Loving the new angle on the interior Cam its gives so much more sensation !
Thanks! Trying out some new things

That sports exhaust just looks awful compared to the "normal" exhaust.
I might have to agree with you there
@@seenthroughglass I ordered mine without sports exhaust, otherwise it looks like standard 911 (+quads look really cool)

Jozef Bielik I think it’s sad that it Leads to people don‘t want to have the sportsexhaust because it looks awful I hope Porsche will change it soon

It really is gorgeous
Had two 997s inc a turbo, tried a 992 but bought a 991.1. The NA character makes it for me. Don’t miss the turbo speed, much.
Who is a Turbo S owner?
Ask TGE and his brother JE!
They do seem a bit of a strange purchase brand new, but still an amazing car.

I think you might be right. Always lusted after a yellow 997.2 Turbo S
Porsche has nailed that new Turbo S, not even a Senna/720S could keep up with that on a mountain road.....👊🏻
I think you're right. It felt so so quick on the road
I'd still prefer a 991.2 GT3 over a 992 Turbo S or 992 GT3 when that comes out
That paint job is spot on!
Hi Sam. I understand you seek more thrilling experiences however for a lot of people who just want a simple and pleasant ownership (Porsche quality) and are not into the most extreme this is just the best. Unrivaled performance for the price

omg you were literally driving down the road from where I live :D
800 nm of torque is half of the chirons torque . Lmao.
To be able to appreciate a porsche you have to understand a porsche! Which is why this video is great!! Great stuff sam 👍
Appreciate that. Thanks for tuning in
Great vid Sam I agree with much. I have a build slot on a cab not sure what to do!....Watch out on my channel for head to head against my DMS 991.2 Turbo S Cab coming soon......
As a former Porsche employee, I applaud your enthusiasm and real understanding of the nature of Porsche compared to other manufacturers. We live and breath the heritage rest of our lives even I don't work for the company anymore. Every morning at 9:11 o'clock I salute towards the Stuttgart (not really).
So Meh is my reaction to that car, that I got to the end of the video and my only question was "Was he getting coffee from Daylesford?"
Sam's reaction to the launch is hilarious!
I think the argument begins to be "design" or "performance" based. I, too, prefer the 991, Sam. It's not like the improvements are humongous leaps and bounds from a day-to-day driving perspective. Could you do launch control all day? Sure. But no one will. ;). Great video
The rear end of the car in unbelievably sexy but not sure about the front end. Am I the only one who thinks like that
I have to say I agree. I like the « analogness » of my 991.2 more, even if it is a pdk. The 992 looks big and all the screens... the 991 was the perfect compromise between the roughness of the 997 and modern comfort. I might still change my mind with the 992.2 but for now, not a huge fan.
Lol the spec of this is identical to the spec of tges turbo s apart from convertible and exhausts
Bib takes his Peugeot 106 diesel for a coffee...but it's not quite the same experience....
Hi Sam. Great video once again. How does it feel in comparison to the Pista, speed wise?
Great blue exterior and love the color matched top, also the wheel color is very nice...of course the 911TurboS is still a beast and better than the other exotic car brands named early on in the video.
Sam, that was bloody amazing! Love the delivery of the content, was really engaging and entertaining. That was a great overall, real life review. The interior and exterior shots (especially of the spoiler retracting) were superb. I've never liked Porsche, but this Turbo S looks great. Given it a thumbs up and waiting for plenty more videos to come
Please don't ever stop the 911 content.😍
I don’t see why Porsche are so reluctant to make a hybrid 911. It can add performance and would be a great fit for a cruiser / compact GT.
911 turbo s is the super cars killer
Statements in your verdit are a bit contradicting but I enjoyed the video nonetheless. 👏🏼
Hey Sam, your main cam in this video is the GH5 right? What resolution are you filming in? I'd just suggest trying out the High Resolution Anamorphic Mode, aka 6K 4:3, 4992x3744, HEVC, 200Mbps.... it would give you a slightly wider angle and when you punch in, you'd have much more space to do so. Really like this new in car angle, it now really feels like you're the passenger. Oh and also the car is great!
Samuel! Need I remind you that you are British. You need to drive a proper British motor. May I suggest Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bentley, or...
Shape up young man. Do it for Queen, and Country.
I will expect a big change with you very soon.
I know, I know. I have no room to talk. I am American, and drive ONLY Jaguar. I do aspire to Bentley though.
Seriously though. When people dream of cars they REALLY don't give enough respect to the British marques.
On behalf of America, I will say thank you for some brilliant examples of luxury, and refinement!
A British car fan.
I love hearing car TH-camrs complain about the price of cars. 170K IS A STEAL!
The absolute base model of this car costs 531.000 GBP in Denmark (4.456.225 DKK - price on Porsche.dk website)
BTW, awesome video!
Another superb vid Sam. Maybe it's the lack occasion; i.e. yes it's ballistic but otherwise soulless?!?!? Possibly lacks the drama a Ferrari 360 / 430 / 458 gives at any speed (not just hard acceleration). Also, at circa £60k more than a 'cooking' 992, it's no longer the value for money super-car it once was. Sure, it will sell, and as you say, they are renowned for being bulletproof and can be used daily without a second thought, but once the time-warp acceleration has lost its allure, what's left to get the adrenaline flowing.......
I completely understand where you are coming from with the 991 and 992.
Will be buying an SVO Defender 110 but will always keep my 1998 D90.
992 reminds me of a Bentley Continental.
I would pick the 2020 Continental over the 992.
The Turbo S is for introverts. We want to go unnoticed. That doesn't mean that we don't want to go fast. But we do do for our own satisfaction, not to get reaction from anyone else. The quieter the car, the better.
Eg. I drive a Toyota Blade Master: factory 276bhp 3.5 V6 in a Corolla / Auris body. Cost me about £4,000-equivalent. Love it.
agree completely.. I'm a 991.2 C2S owner and I've driven two 992 S variants, coupe and convertible and they feel completely underwhelming compared to my own car which now feels "old skool" compared with a 992. My father has a 991.2 Cab C2S and feels exactly the same. 992 is too polished and lacks a rawness people thought was gone in the 991...
How is Sam Not on TV ?? Brilliant, just ordered a brand new Porsche Cayman 718 yesterday from Porsche Bolton, should buy from them in Bolton they are brilliant!! Should arrive later in the year as production only dtartedcagain in May, can't wait I'm buzzing !! My 2nd ever Porsche, they are the best brand ever...
God this is a million years behind a McLaren 720S spider. McLaren = Proper SUPERcar Porsche = Decent but expensive SPORTS car. TBH rather have an entry model McLaren 570S Spider or a used 720S
I don't think the 458/488 analogy quite works in this context - I would imagine anybody pining for the 458 over the 488 is doing so because of the naturally aspirated engine sound versus the turbo charged engine, whereas your generation 991 and the new 992 are both turbo charged engines which have already lost a bit of the character of the NA flat six engine from the 991.1. Then again, there's no denying this is a heftier car than the 991.2, and the cabriolet simply adds to the feeling that it's just a bit of a chunker. I imagine everybody will go mad for the GT products and whatever Carrera T equivalent Porsche put out when this generation is on its last legs. Having owned both 991.2 and 992 Carrera S models, I personally prefer the 992 in pretty much every way, with the possible exception of the slightly odd gear selector and the fact that so many of the drive settings are now buried in menus in the infotainment system.
Very nice video. I guess I just don't get it. I've been a car guy for 30+ years and I'd have an F8>488>458 and easily a 992>991>996. I dunno, maybe that's just me.... Anyway, absolutely love this thing!
