Good video, with one correction: there are actually two cup holders. The second one pops out of the dash. And you can replace the console one with a storage insert that comes with the car.
While I'm not the biggest fan of the Porsche 911, it never ceases to amaze me just how it continues to remain the only true rear-engine car on Earth,a remarkable achievement, considering that it's corporate, spiritual and technological cousin the Volkswagen Beetle moved it's engine to the front years ago. Also,you know you've achieved something special when you've earned the(grudging) respect of a stick guy, as evidenced @21:44-21:54
You could afford a 2007 911 or Cayman. Stop making excuses. Work hard, save your money, invest and buy your dream car. A 2013 Porsche Turbo S is $110,000. Thats 50% OFF MSRP!
I got to drive one today for work. Absolutely stunning. I’m a Mercedes guy. I love my AMGs and I never imagined a porche could blow something out of the water like a 05 E55. Absolutely amazing. I want one now
What a beautiful car. And I love the dash. It’s the perfect mix of analog and digital. It’s just unfortunate the 911 has gotten so expensive. I’d love to own one someday, but if I’m ever fortunate enough to buy a decent example it will have to be older and with some miles.
Been a 911 fan since I was a little kid but never drove one. I’m renting a convertible Carerra S in a couple weeks for 3 days and I’m unbelievably excited. I’ve barely even driven any sports car before
Nice video man, I just ordered mine in Jet Metallic black and specified it to my liking, I took delivery of my new Cayenne earlier this year, but this 911 is a dream I worked hard for and it finally came true, I cant wait for next May delivery.
I’m 38 years old and I have never touched a porshe in my life. I need to sit in an exotic car sometime. Maybe do that rental service thing. The time I tried to learn stick I didn’t do so good tho lol
Pedro You are the world’s largest troll. You have nothing to offer of substance. Everyone note that Pedro hits all the reviews on Porsche 911 and condemns them. He’ll just get in his old rusted out Camaro and pretend he’s looking good.
A Porsche is just a car! It depreciates and needs repairs and is very expensive to fix. Most people lease them to avoid this problem. So you’ll have lease payments exceeding g $1,000 a month. A 911 will be probably more like $1500. Great for high income types desire to have a great handling small low riding car. For most people a Miata or Mustang, Camaro or Challenger/Charger makes much more sense!
Joel Remland its all relative to your income or socio-economic status. Mustangs and Camaros do cost less than say a 911 but they in no way are comparable. Vetts on the other hand are expensive too, but worth it to some. In this capitalist society I say get what you want if you can really afford it
Awesome... great video. I love the comments from people who just don't get it. A 911 isn't for everyone, some guys want a car that looks like a box, some don't.
in the US we're so lucky because 150k can only get you a normal Porsche cayenne in china.. my friend bought one cayenne s with few options cost him 200k USD in china.
Porsche has won the 24 hours of LeMans 19 times overall since 1970..., and also more than 110 class victories since 1950! Just sayin;-)! "17 times" is not correct!
the model shown is sport package..front and rear fascia w/ side skirts..this is an added $$$ option..not the standard look carrera ..but I like this look a lot!!
Nice video. My 2 cents are the following: I am not a fan of the fact that you have to press a button on the fob key to open the door. You should be a proximity fob key like most modern vehicles. Also, I think it should be a push button start. Sure, have it on the left side but just push a start button. I'm not a fan of the analog dash in front of the driver, but I could live with it as the centre console screen is nice. Again, nice video. Thanks for posting.
John ( I'm the old guy with the Miata) my son is in the market for a Porsche; your review sold him on the 992 with the manual. Excellent review, see you later.
I just took delivery of a 2023 Carrera S, manual - put an aerokit on it. I've had a dozen 911s this one I would describe as a luxury sports car. Very smooth, nimble and quick. Very imposing looking too. As for the lights, they never need to be turned on - they come on automatically and the brights also come on when needed.
Yeah, but you can’t drive your home 191 miles an hour. You get the 992 and all you need is a garage; screw a crazy ole house. Almost everyone has a house!
Raiti - You have an excellent knowledge of the 911. The line was taken off the chart and drawn across the wall all the way to the door and I would say the company has just about reached that point on the door on the calendar. The interior is very neat and well organized and looks good to the eye. Makes past interiors look dated and old. I will say this: I optioned and ordered, in Jan/Feb 2012 the very first 991, 911. I optioned the beige interior along with the Racing Yellow exterior paint, the first year for that paint without paying extra. Interestingly the various codes changed as the car was being built. Approximately one day prior to the completion of my 911, Dr. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche passed away. He was the designer of the 911. The very next day, the factory finished my Porsche and coded that. The car was then on its trip from Stuttgart to Beverly Hills, California and it arrived the day before Father's day and dealer prepped. The following day, Beverly Hills held its annual Rodeo Drive car show to which I went. After the show, my cousin and I went to the Beverly Hills Porsche dealer. Arriving and observing the car behind the main glass at the dealership was my Carrera. That is right, my 991 was nothing more than a standard Carrera. However it was loaded with leather interior and 18 way adaptive power seats, PDK with all of the handling mods one could obtain in a standard Carrera including factory wheel spacers. 20" Carrera silver painted wheels with Pirrelli P-Zeros. Sun roof. Bose upgraded stereo system. My steering wheel had on it unusual thumb shifters only offered for a short period of time. These change the gear manually whether in manual or not and each of these shifters are not F-1 type, but they are each able to both shift up and down, on both sides of the steering wheel, and additionally the gear lever can also do the shifting manual by moving the lever to the left of its normal position. Heated and ventilated seats ordered. No other items or buttons on the steering wheel. My nearly 8 year old Porsche 991 still drives extremely well and it is extremely satisfying. 350 horsepower is small by today's standards, yet the car then still had a top speed of 178 miles per hour. The car also has launch control built in for use after the car is up to full operating temperature. The gas mileage is shown rated at 28 highway and 21 city. On the Highway on a couple of road trips of better than 300 miles each way, my Carrera returned about 30.3 miles per gallon. The in town driving ranges from around 19-23 mpg, depending upon how I drive the car. The first year, I put a cat-back exhaust on the car and then nothing until this year when I put new air filters of the K & N type and also an aluminum IPD plenum on the intake replacing the Porsche factory plenum. It dissipates heat better and has better air flow characteristics that the stock Porsche plenum. That's it thus far, although I'm thinking of obtaining a tuner for the car that is of the plug and play type. I still love the car when I get in it and drive it and I'm not wishing for a new 992, despite the fact that those cars are tremendous. My car when new nearly reached 118,000 before getting out the door with options. These days, with similar options, one might pay about 143,000, although it would have all those upgrades including the rear wheel steering. That feature makes the car more nimble and saves tires a bit. All in all, I likely will never buy another Porsche. But then this one is good enough. Anyone who can find a used 991 Porsche, as long as it was well-maintained will be getting a bargain. As great as all the cars on offer today are, of course, only one gets this American's attention: the C8 Corvette.
Picked up a 2020 911S in Silver w red interior with black wheels. Its my first Porsche but won’t be my last. I’m hooked. Amazing car. Thx for the video.
Lol! The armrest is as hard as a rock and can not zonk it because it is a Porsche 911! Love it Joe. Beautiful exterior interior color combination. Closes to a perfect car I have seen yet! If I had $$$ thus color combination but with a manual no doubt. The only way to go in a Porsche.
Drove the S yesterday, insanely fast but in USA where are you going to use all of that power unless you track it, the base will serve the purpose, in my opion
Hey Joe - Great review. Regarding the access to the ignition key was to do with the wiring and not to do with quickness of starting the car. They just ran with it.
I’ve seen that new theory also on why it was located to the left of the steering wheel. No biggie either way. If the new theory is the accepted thought, then why is the tachometer still the primary gauge?
That is frikken awesome for 2020. Love those wheels. Love the 911. My favourite brand. Had the privilege of track driving the GT3, a few years back. Thanks Joe for this awesome review!! Big up to Tom for his tireless camera work!!
Compared to other sports cars 911s are usually pretty reliable. There have been bad years, but overall 911s are usually solid. There is a reason why there are so many on the road.
I love the 992 for everything except for the exhaust note compares to the 991 and 991.2. The GPF really screwed up that raw sound by muffling the exhaust more.
Truth be told. The ignition switch on the left is there when Porsche was a small manufacture they needed to save money. Less wiring that’s it. As with all Porsche’s nothing changes it stays on the left. Oh yeah there’s a cup holder for the passenger in the old spot on the right side of the dash. Good review.
Not going to dispute that it was the original reason but the reason it remains there is because back in the day when Porsche was racing and the drivers ran to the car to start the races having the switch on the left was strategic......
No, the shorter wire is not the reason. The fact that race drivers could put the car in gear (with their right hand) while starting it with their left is what Porsche says.
Please - you can bluetooth from your phone all the music you want - and without any wires from your phone and also does Apple CarPlay which also lets you select any type of music. Who needs cd’s bouncing all around the cabin any longer. Technology moves on -/ and you save $1500 on that stupid clunky cd changer in the trunk that always would jam.
Drove a 992 yesterday at the local dealer, almost traded my Cayman in for it. If you are in the market and on the fence about getting, drive it, you will really want to get it!
@@williamjackson5357 I’m getting a 2020 781 Base Cayman in 1 1/2 years but gosh I would love to own the 911 one day. Albeit Cayman does look better to me
You need to let people know the car has the upgraded sport front and rear and sides - $5000 plus option. Also the colored wheel caps are a $180 option and those wheels are a $4000 plus upgrade as well. Interior is the full leather upgrade - $4500 extra. Sport exhaust as well is an upgrade - get the original window sticker/ when Reving motor- try putting it in sport plus so the exhaust sounds deeper and in sport mode you get the engine backfires. It is called Bordeaux red by the way- not cherry red.the dash timer gauge says that it has the chrono package - more money- gives you the extra driving modes and importantly - launch control - that lets you step on the pedal and let up on the brake and off you go at warp speed! Also a button in the center of the little knob- push it and you get 20 seconds of full speed.
All Japanese automakers (especially Nissan) need to go back to school. They're miserably falling behind Germans with their turbo charged semi-trucks, military tanks & soccer mom-sized "sports cars"...
$43,000 in options... That's more than 1/3 the cost of the base 911 S. Porsche just absolutely kills you in options to the point where it's just laughable. You could buy a base 911 S and a whole other car for when the weathers bad... and a nice one at that!
Hey love your videos man. I heard a month ago by another history buff here on youtube, that the reason for the left hand key is that the original key to starter wire was short and just enough length 50 plus years ago so they kept side. Perhaps it was associated with the haste to complete the car. Not exactly certain but it makes sense sometimes in a traditional way. Keep them coming sir.
I was 17 years old in 1989 and a passanger in a 911. I haven't stopped smiling for 34 years 😁
That is so awesome Simon! Thanks for sharing that!
Wow Simon I give you five stars

Even non car people recognize this little beast from far away.
You are so very right Andre!
No

Very professional yet down to earth review
Thanks that really means a lot!
that’s Raiti’s for you!
Love Raitis Ride and his analogies, I want to roll through the gears like I row my own boat. Classic Raiti
I like how he is talking about the front and the rear and he didn't even mention that on this car is not the standard one but the sport one.
I can’t wait to buy this in 40 years!
Why 40 i will bye 911 turbo s 20
You have my blessings grasshopper 👌
This is currently my favorite 911 because of the design

If you can afford it, this is the best Porsche 911 ever
I agree, bar none!
911 turbo s
That means I should get it over the e63 and rs7
Love this car. Agree with you on the chalk color, its fantastic! Great review, very jealous you are getting to review some sweet cars Joe. Great work!

Only true mid-engine too, Cayman, I see GM has finally caught on after half a century with the C8
These are the things I like to see on Raiti's Rides.
If I was wealthy, THIS would be the sports car that I’d own. Such a master piece. All the performance I’d ever need.
Cg3 AGREED
You could afford a 2007 911 or Cayman. Stop making excuses. Work hard, save your money, invest and buy your dream car. A 2013 Porsche Turbo S is $110,000. Thats 50% OFF MSRP!

Few months from receiving my 2021 GT Silver 992 CS. In the meantime I am watching as many videos I can watch in anticipation. Great presentation.👍

You can always find a very good used one, which is a better deal than buying it brand new, be patient, do your due diligence, it’s waiting for you

They announced the manual not too long ago. Can’t wait to see that video. I’m sure it’ll be as great as this one.
I can't wait either Jay!
in the US we're so lucky because 150k can only get you a normal Porsche cayenne in china.. my friend bought one cayenne s with few options cost him 200k USD in china.

This is the second time I've seen the 992 with the different front end on youtube. Much better than the one shown upon release of the car.

That’s the color combination I’ve been looking for
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!

This is standard on Australian issued cars

That is frikken awesome for 2020. Love those wheels. Love the 911. My favourite brand. Had the privilege of track driving the GT3, a few years back. Thanks Joe for this awesome review!! Big up to Tom for his tireless camera work!!
You don't have to be rich to buy one of these. You have to be rich to own one out of warranty
Edward Cramm so very true
Dam!
Compared to other sports cars 911s are usually pretty reliable. There have been bad years, but overall 911s are usually solid. There is a reason why there are so many on the road.
I love the 992 for everything except for the exhaust note compares to the 991 and 991.2. The GPF really screwed up that raw sound by muffling the exhaust more.
Sb1 I have 7,300 (s)miles. On my 992 C4S. The car in Sport Mode sounds crazy good!
Pearl white, that's the best.
That is pretty as well.
HI. Just got one 2020 4S Guards Red/ Black with Black wheels. Only 8k miles. New to Porsche so excited to get the experience .
Any update on the 7th speed manual?
Great review! The 911 has alway ROCKED! Thank you.
Thanks Ian! You are so very welcome!
Great video. I’m sold! I agree that shifter and gloss consoles gotta go. More carbon fiber.
Thanks Dan! Good calls!
Truth be told. The ignition switch on the left is there when Porsche was a small manufacture they needed to save money. Less wiring that’s it. As with all Porsche’s nothing changes it stays on the left. Oh yeah there’s a cup holder for the passenger in the old spot on the right side of the dash. Good review.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Not going to dispute that it was the original reason but the reason it remains there is because back in the day when Porsche was racing and the drivers ran to the car to start the races having the switch on the left was strategic......
No, the shorter wire is not the reason. The fact that race drivers could put the car in gear (with their right hand) while starting it with their left is what Porsche says.
They are nice looking cars...
You are so very right!
So good. Porche paint is a thing of beauty.
What? For $156K, no CD player included? This is outrageous.
I feel your pain.
Who uses cds in 2020?😂 they're not going to include something only like 1 percent of people still use lol.
Please - you can bluetooth from your phone all the music you want - and without any wires from your phone and also does Apple CarPlay which also lets you select any type of music. Who needs cd’s bouncing all around the cabin any longer. Technology moves on -/ and you save $1500 on that stupid clunky cd changer in the trunk that always would jam.
Uh Oh ... second-guessing my subscription. I'm a brand new viewer and I'm afraid your infectious enthusiasm is gonna cost me some serious money !
Once I have the winning lotto ticket this will be my next car! Great review, Joe!
I’ll take two of those 😍😍😍 this 911 in chalk with dark blue interior😭
It is super sexy!
This is a really nice spec! Would goldwheels work with this chalk colour...?
I totally think so!
Look up Nick Murray's review of the 992 for reference. He's got a white or chalk one with gold wheels. Looks sweet!
I'm actually thinking of buying one around the end of June! Pretty excited 🙏
Drove a 992 yesterday at the local dealer, almost traded my Cayman in for it. If you are in the market and on the fence about getting, drive it, you will really want to get it!
@@williamjackson5357 I’m getting a 2020 781 Base Cayman in 1 1/2 years but gosh I would love to own the 911 one day. Albeit Cayman does look better to me
Porsche 911's are the best. Hopefully one day you can get one!
I would love to!
I just bought the the gt2rs it’s the best hands down the traction is great and it’s a daily driver
I’m worried I can’t drive every day.
10 years ago I bought mine for $80k, now it’s a $150k WOW!
Damn, how reliable has yours been? And how many miles? I know the build quality is top notch in these cars.
@@alexv5581 curious on your question too as I worry about using it as a daily but I want to.
This a Carrea s , basic Carrea was $80000usd a decade ago
You need to let people know the car has the upgraded sport front and rear and sides - $5000 plus option. Also the colored wheel caps are a $180 option and those wheels are a $4000 plus upgrade as well. Interior is the full leather upgrade - $4500 extra. Sport exhaust as well is an upgrade - get the original window sticker/ when Reving motor- try putting it in sport plus so the exhaust sounds deeper and in sport mode you get the engine backfires. It is called Bordeaux red by the way- not cherry red.the dash timer gauge says that it has the chrono package - more money- gives you the extra driving modes and importantly - launch control - that lets you step on the pedal and let up on the brake and off you go at warp speed! Also a button in the center of the little knob- push it and you get 20 seconds of full speed.
Thanks for that great info.
All Japanese automakers (especially Nissan) need to go back to school. They're miserably falling behind Germans with their turbo charged semi-trucks, military tanks & soccer mom-sized "sports cars"...
That would be really wonderful.
The Jaguar F Type did the door handle first
ENDLESS MONEY PIT! BUY A CELICA INSTEAD!
I'm so sick and tired of Scotty Kilmer.
Who needs a brand new twin-turbo Porsche when you can have a Celica with 240,000 miles!?
LMAO.
Scotty is a nut.
Seeing a '94 Celica parked in your driveway is all the excitement you'll ever need!
I am tracking prices on 2018 GT3 Touring with M6. Slowly falling. 500 HP NA motor.
That is a very interesting.
$43,000 in options... That's more than 1/3 the cost of the base 911 S. Porsche just absolutely kills you in options to the point where it's just laughable. You could buy a base 911 S and a whole other car for when the weathers bad... and a nice one at that!
Moflow I totally agree with you.
I'm at $56K in options on a 4S... this is a VERY. customizable car... period
Team Porsche. 🔥✊🏾
On Team Porsche too!
love the double drive cam.
love the inside jokes.
As a car guy.
This is the best review period.
That's my DREAM car!! Joe...you're so fortunate to be able to drive it...
I love Porsche 😍
So do I!
Great review ...I see you had to place your icon OVER the speedo readout !!!. you didn't find the passenger's cup holder ☕
What a beautiful piece of German engineering. Loving your reviews joe!
I totally agree with you! Thanks for saying that!
Hey love your videos man. I heard a month ago by another history buff here on youtube, that the reason for the left hand key is that the original key to starter wire was short and just enough length 50 plus years ago so they kept side. Perhaps it was associated with the haste to complete the car. Not exactly certain but it makes sense sometimes in a traditional way. Keep them coming sir.
Joe, after driving a car like this one are you still able to enjoy your Subaru?
SteveRunciman yes because they have totally different personalities plus my payment is less. 😉
I'm 36 years old and I love to have a 1966 Porsche manual shift seen a video of a 1966 even today that car sounds beautiful shift those gears
I totally agree with you Anthony.
