You could Sell the pista and buy the Aventador s
No way!
@@TGE 992 GT3?
The amount of ads in this one, you’ll be buying us all a turbo s soon lad!
How are you ever gonna afford a turbo, if you cannot even figure ad blocking out in 2021?
@@Baerchenization I am pretty sure he is saying... just forget. Fuck it
Practical, economical and easy to live with. I guess that's why most don't consider the Turbo a supercar even though its awesome.
Beat a 720s in a drag race but no .. its not a supercar x) its not a douche show off loud ass sport car
Philippe Dupuis I disagree completely mate
@@philippedupuis9219 I think it is a supercar. I mean it is like the fastest car on the market among Supercars.
I suppose for a supercar, but it's not any of those compared to a normal car lol. Still, I would take this over any other supercar.
Its not a proper suoercar, but sports car
Is anyone else cringing at the decals he put on this amazing car...such a shame
Yes the car looks bad
Honestly, the only decals that belong on a 911 are either the cool retro "PORSCHE" decal you see along the bottom of the door or...well...that's it. Unless you're driving a rally car, that's about the only decal the car should ever have.
You kids clearly dont know about motorsport. You must think all those Porsche's with decals on are ugly too huh? Do you know the point of decals? Representation of a brand? Do you know that Porsche cares about their lap times? Only does production cars to further fund their ambitions in racing?? Its not Ferrari where they have a stick up their ass and wont allow you to personalize your car, and can punish you by not allowing you to purchase their cars lol. It looks like a proper race car. Awesome. You're more into fashion/aesthetics than motorsport. Not being mean, but motorsport is different man, you dont watch Porsche supercup?
With a machine like this you don't need to put decals all over the place to garner attention. But yeah, they look absolutely horrific. Decals are usually a sign of somebody who wants everyone to think you have the fastest car on the planet. In reality you very much don't. Well, except in this case. Cheers
horrible to put stickers on this. looks like a 14 yr olds school notebook
Not even close to as boring as a Tesla would be. lol
😂
im just not into electric cars yes there fast but they arnt for me cheers steve 👍
Adam J without sound, for sure yes!
Obviously not lol. Teslas are the equivalent of generic and boring.
GL owning one until 2030. you wont find a new ICE car in CA.
When people say it's boring, I think they mean the car is too good as a whole. As in so perfectly engineered with little or no shortcomings it somewhat lacks a soul or character. Personally I'd prefer the 911 Gt3, but the turbo is the better more rounded package. I really do like this gen turbo though
That's what it is for me. It's kinda perfect and doesn't particularly have a character, that's what I thought about this and the 720S but it's not true. They do but I think they do need some mods to add a touch of flair because as they are, they don't particularly amaze me to look at or hear.
@I lol how did Google find out? Maybe Bmw drivers lied about scoring all the time while Porsche drivers only were more honest. Tesladrivers attract lots of weirdos and gays, maybe they score more often.
Turbo S for the road, GT3 for the track !
@@hpman911 facts.
I had a 2014 turbo s. That's exactly what I meant when I tell people it's boring. It's too perfect
"A couple of archies, or some women" - You deserved a like for that
No joke, probably the best video you’ve done chap. No nonsense, great content, and real truths.
Love the churn but this is why we’re here laddo.
Appreciate this ❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree. Excellent review TGE. More like this please.
I understand you very well... This is a beast! Too many pistas are made. CGT, F12 and Turbo S is a great garage, my favourites!
totally agree 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ferrari is making enough pastas to halfway suit the „new car“ demand but they will probably be bottoming out lower and gaining again slower than Scuderia and speciale
4 cars in one, that is the best way to describe that machine.
One of a kind, nothing like it out there.
Masterpiece.
It sounds terrible tho , I honestly would rather have the gt3 rs .
@@yobro6053 sacrificing everything over sound? Lol I’m sure u can do something to make it sound nicer
Always loved the Turbo S from any vintage ,They were always the king of the hill.
The turbo/s is not boring. Standing quarter mile in a tad over 10 seconds and handles ridiculously well… fabulous cars…
That Turbo S is the Clark Kent of Supercars 👊🏻
You stole this comment from the Carfection comment section.
@@joshuaoverton3309 💤💤💤
Here’s the problem with not only supercars in general, but even with “less powerful” cars like an older Porsche Carrera with a measley 385hp: you really can’t DRIVE them anywhere without either getting a ticket or outright losing your license and getting tossed in jail! Plus, too much traffic, too many slow drivers. Heck, in this car, you’d be at 100mph at half throttle merging onto the freeway! Great car, just NOWHERE to drive it to it’s potential except on a track.
bring it autobhan
You're not wrong, still I do love the turbo s, just because of the engineering excellence
The new Turbo S is absolutely amazing, it is an absolute beast when you mash your foot to the floor. And those brakes, you are absolutely correct the stopping power is unlike anything you will experience in a car. I was worried about maintenance costs on the ceramic brakes, but a Porsche mechanic I spoke with said I will never have do any maintenance as long as I own the car. He said unless you are tracking the car on a regular basis, those brakes will outlast the owner. When the new Turbo S ultimately arrives with the new electric boost drivetrain I’v been told it will shock the automotive world with its performance figures. It’s hard to believe they can make it better than the current version. Porsche is really hitting it out of the park with the 992 platform, can’t wait to see what comes next.
“If you’ve got a couple of archie’s, or some women...” stuff em’ in son
The Turbo S was always the ‘businessman’s express’ absolutely love this car.
Haven’t seen one in the flesh yet, but it’s my favourite car of the year. Glad u like it, worried you were going to say it was shit. Enjoy!
Such a rude spec. Best all rounder that money can buy, surely?
I think the penny has dropped Tom.....Supercars are all very dramatic but seriously flawed to drive in an overcrowded country with bloody awful road quality, plus a lot of your driving is in town. This may seem a boring 'default decision car' but you really couldn't need anything faster, and just look at how useful it is....look at the great visibility you have - you can even see behind you!
When you look at it like that, the price seems more reasonable.
Good luck finding anything quicker that’s under a million dollars
Plus the fuel economy.
I drive an all black A35 and see this car as like it’s big rich older brother that keeps to himself most of the time but will happily flex on everyone with his patek and model girlfriend out in Greece when he feels like it.
mate, love these kinds of reviews. Realistic and can help ppl like me who are a few years away from getting one of these. I have been so confused about the turbo s vs ferraris/lambo/mclarens. I own a boxster S right now, and it is a huge plus that it doesnt crazy stand out in a car park and so i dont have to stress about using it for road trips. I would love to see a video on what your experience has been with the Pista as a car for overnight road trips or longer. My current assumption is that most Ferraris Lambos and McLarens cannot be used for overnight road trips or longer because you cannot guarantee good parking situations and people not being arseholes. With a porsche, people seem to be more chill..
This is some honest and unique car reviewing. Very excellent indeed. Can't imagine what that combination of power and traction feels like 😵
Do people really get annoyed if you have a Lamborghini or Ferrari? I live in the US I have heard in the UK people are usually more annoyed with flashy cars.
Yea they’re all Grumpy n salty
@@johnnyboy1586 Probably because they usually are a rich wanker complaining about how "boring" his 911 turbo is...
@@johnnyboy1586 Totally disagree. Your poorly written rant shouts "dumb wanker"
@@strinati Okay Aaron.....Is your 911 turbo "boring" too...poor dear...
It’s a german perfect engenereed masterpiece,some people call not so great engendered cars emotional just because you can die in them that makes no sense.
Gt3 rs is the better car even if it is slower in a drag race
First car I'm buying with my lotto money
What a perfect all rounder. Seems like my dream car actually - not flashy, big balls but practical at the same time.
Beautiful car regarding the exhaust in sport or sport plus mode the exhaust in sport mode gargles more for show of mode sport plus not much gargling it’s for when you mean business and going really quickly , I ask the question at Porsche when I had a 718s 👍
Makes sense.
Thank you TGE TV, greatly enjoyed this video, fantastic to see you out on the road in this magnificent Porsche, with your party voice 😁👍
😂
Dream car, I must be old but I like the idea of a car that’s well equipped, comfortable, usable with performance. It’s why I drive a Mini 😂😂😂😭
Same here, I have a 2017 JCW, love the thing to bits. Similar to the 911 it’s got a bit of everything
I have an 11 year old Audi A3 that’s on 140k miles. Not sure it starts. I’ll trade for the Porsche if you want? Let me know
Lmao are u seriously
Ur brave bruv
I’ll sleep on it
Lol
But seriously that dude is brave to ask for a trade with a 11 year old audi a3 LMAO
The great thing about the porsche is that it is the ultimate driver's car. It is nothing to be pretentious about or be obnoxious. It just runs and performs exceptionally. The only benefit of the pista is bragging rights and showing off money. But the Porsche makes sense to be driven and to be enjoyed to its fullest.
Ultimate driver’s car? Not a 911. Definitely not a turbo s. The Ultimate driver’s car would be mid engined, rear-wheel drive, naturally aspirated and preferably with a manual gearbox. Which means its the Porsche 718!
I really dont understand why there is hate on TGE. His reviews and options are so down to earth and real great video Tom love all your videos 👍
Hasn’t been that much abuse tbf. I get off lightly on YT 😂
@@TGE haha you Archie, JE, Tony etc are brillaint love the vids!!👍👍
It doesn't really matter what and how you do it, you will always get haters.
When driving through New Mexico I managed to do 2 tanks back to back at 500 miles in my 991 Turbo S (hitting 32mpg+ (US)). I don't expect 992 to be much worse. 32 mph in a 10s car is unheard of?
A 10s car with German reliability, and a warranty etc. There simply is no substitute.
Bored of my Golf V 1.9 TDI already?
Yes... Maybe we should swap them
If I won the lottery, this would be number 1 on my wish list 👍
I am actually really pleased to hear you saying your are not bored of this car and it is more all the contrary. When somebody has to possibility to drive and own as many cars as you it might be quite easy to get bored. This car is fantastic, it looks fantastic, is sounds fantastic, and it's as you say an all runner. You can drive it anywhere at any moment of the year, a thing that you can't do with the Pista indeed. And to all people thinking it is just another 911... so what ? Yes it is and that's why we love it. From all your garage this one is in my top 3. Congrats ! Hope she will stay in your garage for a while !
Keep the turbo mate, best car from best manufacturer in my opinion !!
I have always loved the 911 Turbo S, for the same reasons I like the M5 and M3 quick and usable (especially if you get the BMWs 2 years old and don't have to take that first depreciation hit). I have a 50 mile commute to work one way, so I want something I enjoy driving but also can take all the miles I will put on it. Turbo S for the win for sure, you beat all your lambo friends in a race and then get to laugh at them when they get stuck in a driveway lol
Oh ummm Great Video Tom!!!! Forgot to add that lol
I concur with your views that the Porsche Turbo S has real advantages over a Pista. Thinking of reliability, residual value especially with more miles on odometer, everyday usability with less stress from road hazards, envious people, etc.
Great to see TGE enjoying this very accomplished machine. I have fond memories of driving earlier generations of Turbo including 930, 964, 993, and 996. A TGE reaction video behind the wheel of an early Turbo would be good viewing. I wonder if we will see a mid term colour refresh in Topaz Skin on this vehicle just like the yellow to gold Carrera T? Thanks a lot for a great real world driving ownership review.
Ha - that was quality content again! - Very pleased to see that. Nice review from a "user side". This is way better than listening to a journalist who drives the cars for a few hours or a few days.
Burbles in Sport mode disrupt the gas flow in the exhaust the knock on is reduced turbo response when coming back on the throttle. That's why in sport plus it stops. S-Plus is all about maximum progress, not show. :)
Haha you fooled me there .. saw the title and i thought you were crazy to think this car is boring and wasn't going to watch it but glad i did .. Nice review and a great car :)
Here for the honest review
By an extremely annoying person.
Brulaap Gaapmeester pissed?
Probably the best car review out there, Porsche should give you the car in exchange to be able to use this video, if I had the cash I would get one off the back of this.🎥👌. It’s brilliant that you are still acknowledging the great NHS👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He Honestly deserves so many more views. What a awesome, yet sensible video. Keep up the great content Tom.
I would never be bored of it
What a masterpiece of engineering.
I’ve got 5 archies Tom. Can I fit them all in the back?
More than welcome
Put them in the boot 👍
I'd bet that even with 5 Archie's not one of them would have more than a tenner on them
Showing real testament to the 992 if ikeas getting shifted for it to make room. Still would have both but see the appeal for sure. Back seats absolute bonus would love to do the school run in that if you remember that’s what your meant to be doing lol nice work
not a single 911 turbo owner has called the car boring.. only people who have never driven one would say that lol
For just one moment I thought you were going to say ‘you’ thought it was boring and sterile. So glad you didn’t. What a car, an absolute weapon, already saving up for one, roll on 3 years and my 997 gen 2 turbos gona get upgraded. 👍
Love the faces being pulled when flooring it!
Right that's it I'm gonna get one, been looking for a while now.
So here it goes
Dear Santa I've been a very good boy. I've helped around the house and have done everything my mummy to me to do.
Thanks
Jimi aged 38
Lol
Funny thing is, aside from the performance envelope, the positives he listed are shared by the whole 992 platform. :)
Not a single bad review for this car. Mind boggling performance. Best car of the year?
Best review , hands down, no crap, straight honest info. .. we appreciate it
Ive been saying exactly what you have about how Porsche makes other cars seem like a waste of time. I had a 2004 Gallardo & a 2006 Carrera S which was chipped to 480 so very similar power but it was faster, better handling ,MUCH more comfortable and definitely twice as good on fuel. Like you when it came to grabbing one it was 90% of the time I would choose the Porka!
Its not just a supercar, its the fastest supercar going from 0-100km/h in 2.5 sec.
What a pleasant review to watch on the new 992 Turbo S. No offense when I say this but I was hoping this was not going to be a bashing of the Turbo S and possibly sound like someone was acting like a 200K car was below them. I have to agree, and I smiled, as you rattled off all of your points on the overall advantages of owning the new 911 Turbo S. My friend has had several F and P cars, which I have been lucky enough to have driven and spend time in. Our opinion is we love the styling and sound from the F cars. However I am not a flashy person and for many reasons, several of which you made here, the 911 Turbo S is the perfect all around sports car, and for my use the ultimate Daily Driver. I see myself in a year from now trading my 991 Turbo S for the new 992. Thanks again for the great laid back review! And let me add after reading several reviews from car journalist, Porsche has made a big attempt to tie some of the GT DNA into this car...
👊
Definitely the best video you have done, more info, more great advice, no nonsense and think we need more videos like this. A more mature review but in a good way 👍
I think you should experiment more with POV angles to mix it up a little or like a go pro on the driver side window, lovely video as always lad
Totally spot on overhaul review Tom,. I had a 991.2 4s, the sport mode does give you more pops and crackles then the sport + mode agreed !!! A nice little touch I think from the Porsche design team!
Great video, think you talked me into buying one 🙏
I’m glad you said it at around 14 minutes in so I don’t sound like a Karen! I’ve never driven a car with this power, but it seems like you can only keep your foot down for about 3 seconds, 2nd and 3rd then you’re into license losing territory!! I reserve judgement until I’ve tried something like it, but I can’t see how enjoyable that can be. My car is fast, but not fast fast and even mine is like that on occasions! Even the slowest 911s must be silly fast these days, but I get it that is the best of the best and one of the fastest cars around.
Just pure thoughts. No faffle. No brochures from childhood *not name shaming*. Honest.
Probably one of the best videos and reviews you’ve done. The video title had me rush to the video as I thought you were going to trash the car... how wrong! Excellent video for my dream car thanks
Got my turbo s recently ! Watched Tom’s and Harry’s videos over and over before i collected it! Great car , well chuffed.
Congrats!!! It’s an absolute monster. Enjoy, hopefully see it at some point.
We are basically neighbours . Small world.
Wondering if you’re car has squeaks and rattles from the interior ......🤔
Very honest opinion and I totally agree, owning a Porsche is like women coming up to you "yeah, my boyfriend has a Porsche" meanwhile it's a '98 Boxster....they are an everyday supercar, Clark Kent if you will...same as Superman but without all the flash. Awesome car, best for the money, really can't be beat, it's the C8 Corvette (which I have) of it's segment. One day I will have a 992 turbo S in my garage.
the car that does everything and rips your face off at the same time what a machine cheers steve 👍 😀
We have one on order every single option
What's the price after every option checked?
Your Review and Observation are spot on...I have 992 Carrera S, it’s the most versatile Car I have either driven! Your Turbo-S, is the ultimate and Best 911 you can buy and Maybe the Best Sports Car Period...
I wouldn't ever be bored with a vehicle at the 992's price point with hyper car performance.
Man, you CAN use it! You just need a track. Get Archie to give you more pointers. The 911’s trademark move, every time the new one comes out, is to mop the floor with every other supercar on the market.. in every department. I’m so glad you like it. That means more Pcar content😆
I would love to daily a Turbo S but here in the Philippines, even these will stick out like a sore thumb.
Awesome video man! I'm picking mine up on January 15th 2021 right on my Bday month, I'm going from a 2020 NSX to a 2021 992 Turbo S and I can't wait.
Mate you have two of the kindest eyes ever on this platform, subbed and notis ON!! Big congrats to your new monster of a car! God Bless
This is one of your best videos for a while, probably since your emotional M3 video 👌🏼👍🏼
Excellent real life review. Straight to the point, no fake enthusiasm, no b.s. 👍🏽
Really enjoyed the review. Your Pista spec is utter perfection and one of the best specced cars in Auto UA-cam bar none. Going to be legit sad to see it go when the time comes. Your Pista collection video will forever be cash 💰.
Jokes when you’re watching a TGE video and he pulls out of the pub you work at 😂😂
Lv that 911 turbo s it's just a monster of a car and as you said it kills nearly everything on the road and the dragstrip
Great video Tom ! I have a Turbo S and just to let you know the front splitter is about 3000£ (due to its air system) not 200£ as on a 911 GT3 ;)
Ffs 😂
Such a nice GT car a real benchmark for others
If i had one i would be happy with it everyday.. Its a daily driver, tuned to be quick n everyway... N it can carry 4 people...
I think a lot of people make the mistake of comparing this to track cars or supercars that were designed from the ground up to deliver maximum emotion and excitement. This is just a 911, with the insane performance that can beat even a few hypercars. It was never meant to be a loud, super rough riding car that turns heads everywhere it goes.
People may think its boring but I personally think this is a superb car and it's reliable
Fantastic video. Thank you Tom. It is great to see your real world reveiw experience and perspective.
there are some videos of a 992 doing 9,862 seconds 1/4 mile time on normal tarmac
It's a great car, absolutely rapid, but I think i would prefer a gen2 gt3/gt3rs for some great fun 👍
The Black Swan pub, They do some great car meets.
I mean, it’s no nonsense great content. Keep coming back day after day! It’s brilliant and is there a better car then a turbo s when you think about it? No. Porsche just nail it! As do you
Ditch the Pista, the Turbo is all you need. Also deleveraging would allow for a wiser reallocation of funds:)
The Pista is awesome. This is better. The Pista must go.
All it needs is a Kline inconel exhaust, decat or 200 cell cats and equal length headers. Sounds great.
And you then loose the Porsche 3 year warranty 🤬
Strategic move enjoying your vehicle and pushing it, it demonstrates the gap between you and other yt with turbo s. Look forward to videos of the CGT, hopefully the removal of the pista from your garage will be the intro to a GT2 rs
Thank you.
Porsche is the only manufacturer that still uses the variable geometry turbos from the turbo manufacturer that gives turbos to Mercedes, Porsche and other brands. The only brand that worries about optimizing as much as they can the engine...I am actually very disappointed with AMG about it... They seem to be more worried about other things sometimes...
Is this the car that deep down we would prefer over a GT-3, but just can’t admit it ?
