@@bcs9972 - I didn't know that (very interesting & forward thinking) to go along with their partnership at Rimac. The car I REALLY want is the upcoming GT4 RS! I think it looks amazing & I love those intakes alongside the driver's & passenger's heads. It's gonna give the GT3 a run for it's money on the track!
Im 24 years old at the time writing this, during quarentine in 2020 I decided that I will have a 911. I dont know which model yet, but I dream about a Targa with Manual gearbox...I have a 10 year plan to achieve this goal, Im aiming to have one by the age of 34 so...until then, I will keep watching this type of videos and visualizing myself driving one, thank you max, this is pure motivation
What a car. *What a car.* For sure my dream modern vehicle. Words can’t explain my love for this car and one day would love to see it in my garage even if it’s in my dreams! Well done Porsche, for all you’re still doing this day and age! Aside from that, Merry Christmas guys! 🎄
Beautifully poetic ending by Max, talking about the end of days and the light fading in the Netherlands. He gets better as a presenter all the time, and a big part of this channel's success is down to his charisma and talent. Keep it up, fellas. We'll be watching until it's dark.
but it actually did was awesome, each gear change. the dsg/pdk/etc change fast and let's you focus on the driving part but I feel it dumbs down the driving experience... at least that is how it felt between cupra dsg and manual cupra.
I would feel much happier to drive this on the roads than a "normal" GT3, as I prefer the more discreet appearance of this car... although I agree that active rear wing is a bit shit. And I love the fact that Porsche still gave the option of a manual gearing for this car! Happy Christmas guys - looking forward to more from you in the new year! 🎅
You, Max. You are so refreshing to watch, you love cars and in the really mature way. You show respect to the craftmanships and have an amazing and mature taste. And you dont like matt black and that is just amazing to hear.
Great video. The manual really changes the character of this car. WOW! All electric cars are automatic in practice, but you will never be able to row through your own gears in an electric car. This car is something special and looks to be another future classic. Thanks for sharing. BTW some really bold driving to be doing in the wet. Thanks, and glad you made it.
Love the GT3 and this Touring version. Would agree the rear spoiler on the Touring is a terrible idea. Why not just have a ducktail....For me , the Touring looks classy as hell in Navy Blue with the silver alloys and chrome trim. Like a Gentleman's Express. You would park-up and instantly look back with a smile.....Great Porsche.
0 to 100KMH in 3.4s for PDK, 3.9 for manual. Half a second is nothing to sacrifice, and absolutely worth the pleasure of driving a manual over a crappy lazy paddshiz x)
For track driving I'd take a non-Touring package GT3 with the manual. When I drive on track I'm not racing; I'm driving for enjoyment. So for me, the manual is a no-brainer, even for the track.
Another great video! I think we have nearly the exact same taste in cars. The 992 GT3 Touring is outstanding (minus funny spoiler instead of fixed duck tale) & the manual really suits it for daily enjoyment. PDK for regular GT3 & track days!
If you are a petrolhead and if you need everyday 911 this 911 is best 911 for petrolheads. I bought same color and combination. When i fight with the clutch pedal i’m feeling like a hero :)
I don't think you could ever change the fact that a manual gearbox brings you much closer to the machine, Paddle shift is better in every way except that one little thing that connects you to the experience on another level.
I also have to sit a lot closer and more upright with the with the manual vs the pdk. PDK let’s you sit back, floor it and relax while driving like a maniac.. But...Whatever you end up buying ...you will always wish you bought the opposite spec later.. This is the genius of Porsche product marketing and management.. They always make you say: “In my next 911, I’ll get xyz spec” Excellent video as always. Keep them coming!
Always an amazing experience provided by Max and his team, thanks for doing what you do, this is amazing viewing it, you bring the whole car driving experience to your audience.
What a stunning car and another great video, @AutoTopNL! I personally love the rear spoiler. I think its a feature that I would leave on auto and never purposely bring it up. The smooth rear-end suits the Touring wonderfully! its sophisticated, elegant, shows Porsche's class. however, when down force is necessary its on demand :)
It's great that Porsche still makes manuals, without rev hang. Almost every other manual car, including BMW's have insane rev hang that makes them undrivable
Wow, love the body colour, the aluminum wheels and yellow calpiers, a beautiful spec. Nice accents of yellow inside too. This is the daily of my dreams. Manual, yes please.
The only reason to take the full blown GT3 over this is if you are a series track racer, this car is so much nicer for so many countless reasons. And BTW why do they keep trying to brainwash us this Alcantera crap is a premium material, stop being sheeple! This car is Porsche's crowning achievement, superb review my friend.
Nice move at 08:30. Violating the stop sign and not even accelerating. Just like my grandpa - love it 👌🏼 Btw: absolutely stunning car - I love stick shifters and love porsche. Perfect match!
@@coolkrass5079 haha - war das so offensichtlich? War trotzdem ein beknackter move. Schön, wenn man das außerhalb von Deutschland entspannter sieht ;-)
@@philippk.6479 nene alles gut hahaha. Ich weiß, es ist nicht das schlaueste ein stopp-schild zu überfahren, aber nur einem "deutschen" würde das auffallen.
Honestly, if you have an extra one of those and you wanna kindly gift it to me, it would be a very nice christmas present 😂 love you guys happy holidays!😂
This car is perfectly appearing to me, still elegant Porsche 911, yet badass. Save for the look of the spoiler raised, but I''ll take it just like this please!
Really nice details on the inside. I have noticed that the gearknob on the manual has the gearnumbers colored yellow. It fits so well with the yellow stiching on the seats, yellow dials on the dash, yellow seatbelts and yellow brakecalipers in an otherwise boring black interior.
Amazing review Max!! Man you are good! I would add that if you plan to use this car daily around a crowded town, maybe it would be better with a PTK gearbox- because you don't want to shift endlessly while talking on the phone, you want your ride to be easy and comfortable (maybe an adaptive suspension will be a plus for this car but not sure how much extra weight would that involve)
Merry christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🏻 If Santa brought you a GT3 this year, would you go for the Touring or not? And MANUAL or PDK?
Touring & PDK ofcourse!
Manual Touring anytime ❤️
I will go for the normal GT3, with manual gearbox ✌🏼 merry Christmas my friend, and thanks for the video !
Merry Christmas Bro🎅🎄♥️,May God bless you forever...♥️✝️
AutoTopNL - you're almost @ 3 million subs! You definitely have the coolest job/channel on YT. Keep up the great work my friend!
Porsche understood everything.
Staying classic, naturally aspirated engine, manual gearbox...
Long live the passion 👌🏼
Secret formula
I couldn't agree more! Porsche is making some of the best cars around! Gotta luv NA flat 6 & the sounds it makes... Simply incredible!
@@scottiecopasetic8315 exactly !
Knowing that they are also working on synthetic fuel to preserve their flat 6 is incredible !

Have you got one yet bruv?
@@jimwilson7193 yesterday I got fired from my Job lol, more logs to the fire, the plan still intact, it is a 10 year plan
Get turbo s or gt3. Targa is gay
@@motor_radNo Porsche is gay bro it's Tesla who's gay
Superb!!! 9k rpms with a manual gearbox is a combo that’s hard to beat by anything

Merry Christmas! I hope you achieve your goals in life!
Great video, that flat six with manual is such an awesome combo 😍. Also merry christmas guys, couldn’t have got a better video for christmas🎅🏻

I seriously doubt he was doing 300+ in good old Holland but rather on a German Autobahn 👍🏽😁
Not only is this GT3 stunning to look at, but every time you shifted gears I smile because I thought it all sounded so sick. Amazing video as always.

Love the Touring, and I like the active wing. It really suits the high tech sleeper-i-ness of it.
Great test Max. You showed that a manual gearbox is the real way of driving, completely in control.
You, Max. You are so refreshing to watch, you love cars and in the really mature way. You show respect to the craftmanships and have an amazing and mature taste. And you dont like matt black and that is just amazing to hear.
That is one of the greatest engines ever created
Such a Beautiful car don't see any time lost on gear changes, absolutely perfection 👌

Love the manual in my Turbo. Blasts me round the UK faster than anyone else I see on the motorways.
You could blast 'round the UK faster than anyone else' in a 1.5 Litre Ecoboost Ford Focus if everybody else is driving the speed limit.
Very modern and beautiful interior. Looks pretty perfect
Such an amazing car! Gorgeous!
Thank you again for your awesome work.
I just love your content.
Merry Christmas!
Still love that porsche knows their market, leather wrapped, manual only, naturally aspirated
PDK is the way to go. very advanced thing.
11:50 This guy talks at 290 km/h so relaxed, like he drives just 120 km/h 😎
Porsche always blows my mind man😍. New dream car for sure! 🤘🏼
The sound of atmospheric Porsche is a symphony 🔥🔥🔥
Absolute beauty. The purist version in my opinion. Take my money please!
Another great video! I think we have nearly the exact same taste in cars. The 992 GT3 Touring is outstanding (minus funny spoiler instead of fixed duck tale) & the manual really suits it for daily enjoyment. PDK for regular GT3 & track days!

If you are a petrolhead and if you need everyday 911 this 911 is best 911 for petrolheads. I bought same color and combination. When i fight with the clutch pedal i’m feeling like a hero :)
Awesome video!! Excellent point about the rear seat or ISOFIX as an option.
I have a GT3 with PDK I'm switching to the touring as soon as they start coming into the country next year, I'm getting mine with the manual.
I don't think you could ever change the fact that a manual gearbox brings you much closer to the machine, Paddle shift is better in every way except that one little thing that connects you to the experience on another level.

This is literally one of my dream cars, you don't know how many times I've "configured" one on Porsche's site 🤣🤣😅😅
One of the best channels on UA-cam. Cheers/Prost!
What a car, the perfect 911
I think I'm in love 😅...this car is freaking awesome
It's great that Porsche still makes manuals, without rev hang.
Almost every other manual car, including BMW's have insane rev hang that makes them undrivable
Really....? Undriveable...? As in cannot be driven......?
😂
I guess you mean Rev Limiter … OR… possibly turbo lag 🤔
@@q80aziz No. I meant rev hang, which is a different thing.
Type rev hang in the UA-cam search bar and watch a few vids
@@RRSmurf as in cannot be driven smoothly and with mechanical empathy 😂
@@siddharthsharma8940 So not 'undriveable' then..
Fabulous car! With that manual gearbox... 😍

Best GT3 touring review so far! Best spec with a manual gearbox 👌
Why the gt3 is the perfect car:
-Rwd
-Powerfull naturally aspirared high reving flat six
-Great handling
-Great sound
-MANUAL
-Gorgeous
Undoubtedly The most desirable car of 2021. Technical perfection.
I’m not a Porsche fan but I have to admit this is a Masterpiece
My favorite modern Porsche. I love the spoiler... just a beautiful.
The best sports car in the world right now! And it doesn't matter if manual or PDK or touring or RS. Fantastic car!😍
I love that tall top gear. A must on a road car.
agreed, the touring spoiler looks like the trunk is open. the regular gt3 spoiler is badass.
What a beautiful background, amazing colors 👌
Yeah it’s just amazing!
Merry Christmas wishes to the team at AutoTopNL!!!
Oh. My absolute favorite car. Thank you. Even the color and wheels etc!
Merry Christmas Max !! .. you're a sports car driving Santa bringing enjoyment to car enthusiasts everywhere ... thanks for the thrills ;)
Best way to end the year merry Christmas 🤶
I love that whooooo sound at 6th gear, soundgasm.
Hey ! Good morning
Great comment ! Yes, what a car ! What an engine ! What a manual gearbox ! 👌😎

Correct…! Good shout on the ducktail. It will complete this Touring. Ducktails are especially good looking on 992s.
By far, my fav modern Porsche. What a sleeper!! Great review👍
Nice move at 08:30. Violating the stop sign and not even accelerating. Just like my grandpa - love it 👌🏼

Great Video! Touring with the manual! Sounds amazing!
I totally agree with you. Since this model is for touring purpose, real seat and 5 regular wheel lug nuts are must go items I think!!!
Honestly, if you have an extra one of those and you wanna kindly gift it to me, it would be a very nice christmas present 😂 love you guys happy holidays!😂
Great review. It is a lovely car, a true drivers car.
I love this cars in this config. Absolutely a beast
I really enjoy your videos, specially the 911 ones. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Merry christmas 😉
Dream car here.

This is what i like, manual
Absolutely a dream car.
Thank you Germany for the autobahns! 🙌🙌🙌
This car is perfectly appearing to me, still elegant Porsche 911, yet badass. Save for the look of the spoiler raised, but I''ll take it just like this please!

Huh I didn’t know about backseat deletion. 100% on point. As potential DD that’s quite the omission.
Great video and filming! Ausgezeichnet!
Finally! A UA-camr with a good sense of design. I also think the adaptive spoiler looks ugly. Cheers!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for a great review
You've really got the Porsche manual pretty mastered huh! I'll be covering a Porsche you've never seen before on my channel, in the spring.
Max the ultimate porsche salesman
Took the likes count to 992😄...Porsches r just..💘💘
Save the manuals!
Ha! "The slowest drag race in recorded history" (12:56) That sums up American highways perfectly.
Finally a real experience on the Autobahn, Trucks passing each other and cars blocking the left lane…
Amazing review Max!! Man you are good! I would add that if you plan to use this car daily around a crowded town, maybe it would be better with a PTK gearbox- because you don't want to shift endlessly while talking on the phone, you want your ride to be easy and comfortable (maybe an adaptive suspension will be a plus for this car but not sure how much extra weight would that involve)
I was thinking the same thing about the rear wing once you opened it. They need to re-design that one.
Thanks for the video!
Proper transmission too. Excellent.
Fantastic review. Total dream car.
Good argument for the manual @11:15 .... C ya !
top review of differences, thank you for recommendation
Merry Christmas AutoTopNL! 🎄
