That 911 turbo has aged well, obviously the fact it's a timeless design helps a lot, but even so, this still looks great today and still so impressive in terms of performance.
@@MattDiffey it does.
The changes in design over all it's generations have always been minor, yet, each generation looked modern at their time of release. If that isn't timeless, then what is?
@Matt Diffey 911 is one of the most recognizable cars that ever existed, If that isnt timeless I dont know what is. People love them for the fact they dont change much with every new model. Its just natural that not everyone will like it, I think its a beautiful car.
@@MattDiffey that's literally what "timeless" means. unchanged over time
@@arjun._.bbC6 you need a better dictionary mate
@@MattDiffey no you need to gain some common sense.
Hammond looked so young back then now he looks like Al Pacino
Lots and lots of cigarettes will do that
@@jimlahey426 That and almost dying...twice.
@@QwikKota he did he almost die?
@@jimlahey426 He had a jet powered car failure at nearly 300mph and was in a coma for 2 weeks, not to mention the wreck in the electric car more recently in Switzerland.
@@QwikKota He did NOT almost die in both accidents. Maybe the first, but NOT in the last one with the electric car. Exaggaration was here!
The editing of the old top gear was also just something else
Children
Yeah. The whole feel of the show was somethin different. These days its just to much of everything, too much over the top. To be honest: Too murrican....
Agree!
Surely good editing means you don't notice the editing? Or are youa video editor?
the footage of the dandelions at the side of the road when the porsche is flying by them, is just beautiful, as a whole lot more effects than this, in other videos back in the day. The BBC introduced them with this show, but you see any other car show, and they are plain copies of the original video edition
"300 carbon dioxides"
"500 torques"
Jeremy clearly couldn’t be bothered with units. *smh*
SCRAMJET turbocharger.
Whatever the unit of measurement he's wrong about the weight, the 997t is heavier than a 430.. Significantly heavier
As your 666th like, yes
Audi is for pussies
Let's just appreciate the balloon shot. It must have taken a lot of planning for a split second appearance. And it looks great
i swear...
they put everything to make it beautiful/entertaining even if it's for a second
The 'balloon' was in the clip the whole time... 😂😂
The visuals are great, but who was the freaking genius who decided to add music to drown out the car noises? If not for Clarkson et al, this would have been an awful programme.
@@VideoDotGoogleDotCom what do you mean drown out the car noises the last section of this clip is full of them. And personally i think the music helps set the mood and emotion a lot in the episodes.
How the hell is 2008 already 11 years ago
If you look at the numberplate of the 911 you can see that it's actually 2006
Um, 12 years.
:-)
@@AndrewJens um?
@@thomashanson6603 um
Oddly enough right. I was thinking the same thing.
40 to 60 in second gear...ONE SECOND! ONE!!! Hahahah omg... There are no better person for reviewing cars.
TheRam One but this car (especially turbo) very fast car acc in their era
@Henry Discipline ¿¿¿
I love reviewig person.
@@pandusanjaya2790 är en
I love this but has less significance in my head nowadays considering my model 3 does 40-60 in much less than one second 😂
If you know something about cars, then you just have to love Porsche for everything they have done for the automotive industry. Their accomplishments are astonishing. And I am a Ferrari guy.
Porsche can take a car and engineer it to racing perfection and then say "now let's make it comfortable and practical"
And this 'Ferrari guy' probably owns a Peugeot 208
@@jean-christopheabrahams1769 bro i know a greek guy with a mclaren speedtail, never judge a book from its cover...remember rich people also use youtube
That’s like saying I enjoy cinema but I’m a Michael Bay guy
@@davidwujczyk3037damn 😂
This specific model, year, color, wheels, is absolutely perfect. The perfect 911 turbo for me. It looks brand new even in 2021!
What is this model?
@@stefanocarini8117 997.1 or 997.2 I believe
@@nogy4952 thanks a lot!
@@stefanocarini8117 997.1, 997.2 had different rear lights. Still a beautiful car
@@petardjokic4585 thanks :)
you have a 911, so youd have a thin wife.
Sold.
But what is with the old one 😅🤦♂️
theresa may is thin
this line had me LOL 😂
So you’d have a wife
@@moist.teabag And.... unsold.....
people who say they hate 911s clearly never ever driven one..absolutely no doubt about it
You can still not like the looks of it.
Like with every car there are people who love it and some who really don't.
Rasmus yeah the looks aren't for everyone but I just can't see how it's so bad that it warrants hate
hate from who tho? some rando's on youtube making minecraft videos ? porsche is a well respected brand afaik
@Master Chief That's pretty biased. People who hate Ferrari have probably never driven one either.
Rushing to conclusions and building an opinion based on what other's say about a car is the most childish thing you can do in both cases.
DatBalticBoi 👍
When i first watched top gear i was young and didn’t know much about supercars and stupidly listened to Jeremy every time he slated a Porsche so I instantly didn’t like them. Now they are my favourite
Mustaq Tahmid I think you are getting old my friend :)
ekim andersom that when you’re young you believe what people like jeremy said but when you know learn more about cars you appreciate them more
Sort of like how the UK is brainwashed into thinking all American cars are shitty quality because Jeremy clarkson says so, when in reality, they are on par with Japanese cars in the quality department, just not as good as European.
@@hyperionx4029 Look at literally any reliability data. american cars are decades behind japanese cars.
Clarkson has never been serious about his dislike of the 911. It's part of his act.
Back when a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds was ground breaking technology 😥 good times
Well not that groundbreaking, the veyron was doing 2s several years ago
It still kinda is today. Everyone may have gotten too crazy with numbers but 0-60 in under 4 seconds is still crazy today.
1997 Toyota Corolla E110 it is crazy but its not anything special anymore. Like an entry performance amg with a 2.0 engine cla45 does it in 3.8-3.9. Those accelerations used to be reserved for supercars only, these days car manufacturers are a laughing stock if they cant make it below 4. Especially with V8 sedans now getting closer to 3 seconds.
Eric Christy the point is it measures acceleration honestly one of the more useful performance stats
with the auto transmission it was tested to get 3.2 (997.1)
You have to love it when Jeremy reviews the 911. Hammond and May are fans of the 911 but not Jeremy so when he says nice things about it, he cannot be wrong
That's what they want you to think. You know the show is scripted, right?
Clarkson himself said he actually likes Porsches in real life @@salazam
My best mate had one of these, they are stratospherically fast. They just keep pulling and pulling and pulling. Unbelievable.
It’s RWD so it pushes not pulls.
@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again its awd and the way a car pulls has nothing to do with the wheels that it drives
@@dommassey1249 Yes it does, why do you think that most of the high end performance cars are RWD or AWD, and not FWD? Idiot.
@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again a rwd car doesn’t push, a car that accelerates hard pulls, it has nothing to do with the drivetrain. You can look this up and not make a fool out of yourself :)
@@dommassey1249 I refer you to my previous rhetorical question. Dumbo.
Ah the good old days when Clarkson can make a joke about having a skinny wife and no one is triggered
So true😂
For every SJW that get triggered by something like that, there are 100 MAGA/MGTOW snowflakes crying hyperbolically. Just wanted to point that out so you understand that to the general public, you guys being outraged by SJW outrage is ten times as annoying.
And by the way, thin wife in this context was more satire about of the average Porsche driver, along with the fancy lunch and squash training etc, than it was fat shaming, so I highly doubt _anyone_ would have gotten triggered by it. Yet you of course, found something to cry about, didn't you? And thus, proving the whole point of my comment, thanks dude! ;)
haha So true. this blue haired fat losers are just jealous they can't accept their dying..
@@TheSaltyAdmiral nothing is worse than sjw's he has a point
I mean, nothing is offensive about that, nobody would ever be offended. It was the using racial slurs and punching innocent staff that was an issue....
They are the Michael Jordan of car brands. They constantly beat all his favorite cars, especially when the 918 beat his mclaren P1, and his house got destroyed! No wonder he hates Porsches.
Watching this made me tear up. I’ve driven a few Porsches around some tracks and they’re my absolute favorite so I loved hearing Jeremy say this
2:40 has to be one of clarksons finest moments. those jokes had me dying since day one
911s are incredible cars. What's even more incredible than the engineering is the fact that something shaped exactly like a tree frog can look so classy.
Cause frogs are cool.
That Thin wife joke wouldnt work ttoday lol 2:54
I am NOT much of a Porsche fan, truly. That said, the 911 is, actually, quite a fine automobile.
The 987 Cayman is wonderful too, In my opinion better than the 911.. Just does not have enough power or adequate suspension for turbo power
@@MagicAyrtonforever Ive had both, nothing comes close to how special the 911 feels in my eyes.
I’ve seen every episode, and this is probably my favorite. When he comes around to the world of Porsche.
2:11 - "The gas coming out of the exhaust pipe is less toxic than the air going into the engine"
right
I totally agree, I stil just find it mind-boggling that a 6-cylinder can keep up and/or beat V10's and V12's. I have always loved a Porsche, and a Porsche will always remain a Porsche (ie they have their own uniqueness).
When I was a kid and read that statment, that a 6 cyl car beats V10s and V12 from Lambos, I knew I was a Porsche guy. Even had a large fold out poster of a 80s 911
“And there’s still room left over for the ice cream made from the bones of your defeated squash opponent.” !!!! 😂

This generation Turbo S with these rims is still one of the best looking modern 911s IMO
"In a Ferrari you can't see really where the buses are to carve them up, but in this you can!" LOL! Ooh Clarkson you melt my heart :P
You don’t have to be a fan of the Porsche brand , but you cannot ignore a Porsche 911, that car’s design is timeless.
timelessly bad
@@jameswest2688i beg to differ, the Porsche 911 992.2 Turbo S, is probably the best supercar ever.
@@ulrichkristensen4087 the car is good, but the look/design is timelessly ugly for me, if we talking about old cars the SL300 or the GT250 are what i think is timeless, any porsche is just a vw with a wing, they're all ugly with the exception of Carrera gt, it looks nice because it doesnt look like a porsche.
992 gt3 Rs. Simply, the best
@@jameswest2688 Your taste is just horrible. You must be an American. Porsche is a beautiful and unique car. It hasn't been contested by anyone ever.
Because it's a CAR.... I love how Hammond say it!
Still the ultimate Porsche. I'd take any 911 model regardless of age or spec.
Yeah, and the Porsche 911 will outlast the Ferrari by far.
TheAssassin650 BY FAR
It will outlast humanity
Yes and no because the Ferrari will more likely have a pampered life sitting in a garage and being driven seldom compared to the Porsche. But the Porsche is mechanically better
KΛM the Ferrari would rust away before the 911 breaks
@@kuttispielt7801 not true tbh
2:25 well that aged well
It's not about the cars, it's about the people. If they see a Ferrari or a Lamborghini they become jealous, that feeling possesses them and makes them express their jealousy by ruining something that you've earned by working hard.
The people is the problem.
@Shaun
Indeed, if "working hard" was a true measure of "Earnings", a lot of people in the 3rd world would be billionaires and most managers would be on the dole
@@Nightdare I mean, no. It's a nive cozy myth that people in the third world work really hard but it's bot really true. Try actually going there.
Nightdare They’re lazy.I’ve been to Congo I’ve been to Guinea they just don’t like to work
If you own Ferrari it means you never worked hard on your life. Money was handed to you by your dad or by way of succession you came in possession of family business. Ppl that work hard and make it big usually go for Astons or McLarens, Ferrari and lmbo is not for that type of ppl and never was.
@@vorbo01 i have, have you ever seen how hard farmers work, especially without modern farming conviences? or factory labour for pennies a day?
Thanks for including the series and episode numbers! You rock!
the editing and cinematography is great in this era of top gear!
All these years. This is a classic. 👌🏼
im from canada and youtube is the only way i get to watch this show and i have to say this is by far the best car program I have ever seen, with the hosts being very entertaining, funny, witty, and what not they get all the useful information about every car they test across, the shows about the super cars are cool not only can they make a cool show about porsche but they can make a show about the fiat 500 interesting and funny, great show love it and i am always left wanting more!!! topgear #1
Can we just appreciate that this was uploaded in 2008 before UA-cam had any real meaningful impact. The trio were pioneers in every way
"lets engage the stability management program", *presses a button that actually dials is back*
"because you'd have a thin wife" 😂😂😂👌
I felt it too...🤣🤣🤣

2008 - 480 hp
2020 - 650 hp (Turbo S)
How time flies! =O
A rwd, 2020 Carrera S with PDK is as fast in the quarter mile (11.3 seconds) as the Turbo in this video. It's insane how far performance has come in a decade and a lot of it has to do with tire, transmission and launch control technology.
Astonishing, Very nice review, Top Gear, keep up the good work!
I love 911’s . It says a lot about UK society that you cannot leave the roof off a beautiful Ferrari without coming back to it full of flem.
Me Ean phlegm*
However, I take your point and agree 100%. Too much jealousy in society these days. Everyone wants to be rich but the moment the person living next door is rich they want to go up a load of phlegm on their car.
Clint Tapper I need to read more books. Have a good day
Michael Rawson Genius, since in this fucking moronic scenario, (which btw everyone, was A FUCKING JOKE ie never actually occurred*********) despite what you said being a possibility, that actually changes nothing about this scenario reflecting poorly on BRITISH SOCIETY, since this story is taking place in Britain and would therefore represent BRITISH FUCKING SOCIETY, Wholly regardless of where the individual people trace their lineage to you fucking inbred, hot headed, clearly angry about something else fucked up in ur life and taking it out on some unassuming youtube commenter who never did jack shit to you...just as a true coward would, you fucking nonce
@@CloudyShinobi:...oh look, another keyboard hero, have a few beers before you wrote that did you!? Because with the kind of limp-wristed bravado AND accuracy about me and the reason for my ire you achieved (which, by the way, was entirely down to the ignorant, purile stupidity of the original comment I criticised) I'm guessing you drank the keg dry, your response was irrelevant, where this took place also is, plus you didn't even have the intelligence to address the actual point my response concerned itself with. If you live in the UK, and don't like it, FUCK OFF ELSEWHERE! I suggest north Korea. You might like it there, you certainly aren't deserving of any better.
Michael Rawson ...and apparently my point remains as true as ever: u seem way too bothered about something else to be everting this much energy and hostility in fucking UA-cam comments sections !!! Lmfao 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
As an Italian, between the two, Porsche all my life
A manual 911 Turbo? Hell yes! What was the last year model that had Turbo with stick shift??
2010 was the last year with a stick Turbo. A 997.2 generation. 991 and beyond all Turbos are PDK.
Micheal Edson New 911s are larger and more luxurious and I wouldn’t really consider them so much a sports car. I think the more appealing car is a manual Cayman. You can still get it with about 400 horsepower (albeit, expensive) , it’s smaller and lighter than a 911 with a better platform and chassis.
I don't get it, why would anyone buy car with manual gearbox? I could understand if it had gated shifter but any other manual is garbage competed to any modern automatic gearbox even in fun on road and track. Most of my cars had manual gearboxes and honestly after switching to modern AT gearboxes I'm never going back to manual gearbox unless it's some classic car or gated gearbox in ferrari.
@@wykydytron I enjoy being in control. Sure, you can kind of emulate that with some cars that use paddle shifters but that's so boring and lifeless feeling. I like to drive cars not ride in cars. It's really just preference. I cannot stand driving automatics as my daily driver. I had one for 4 months and sold it because it was boring as hell and my left leg got muscle cramps from not using the clutch anymore haha. If someone else wants an automatic, that's fine, but none for me, ever. The only way I'll drive one is if the government bans combustion engines and we are forced to use electric, otherwise I will always buy a used car with a stick shift.
@Frank L I've seen it already on more than one car! The programming limited power in each gear. Kind of neat! Here's the first one I saw: jalopnik.com/an-electric-ferrari-with-a-manual-gearbox-is-strangely-1797836219
The reason I fall in love with the 997 and the reason I still own one today.
Damn lucky you are. I'll get one someday. Definitely.
Awesome
997 Turbo is the best looking car that is still somewhat attainable and imo among the most beautiful cars ever made. Not to mention the performance or any other aspects that make it a great car
Surely a classic in waiting, if not already. Timeless design. This and the 993 Turbo the nicest imo.
I think the 80s 911 actually have the most impressive body style, so unique yet classy.
"the gas coming out of the exhaust pipes" is now ingrained in my brain for some reason. Can you work out why?
Don’t stick your head next to the exhaust!
Just heard him say this
3:30 The Podigyyyyyyyyyyyy🤘🤘🤘
I love how Jeremy acted like he didn't already like the 911 in the beginning of this video.
Top Gear is top-notch acting.
3:10 looking at the hot air baloon flying over, I kid you not thought for a second that they will AGAIN drop something on a car that Jeremey hates :)
That helicoptor piano removal company really is clumsy
Why do I hear Morris Marinas trying to start while owners are shouting at imaginary Clarkson
Top gear so diplomatic realistic and timeless
Right up until some of the later seasons.. Wich was absolute rubbish.. I'm glad to see it return to form now and be about cars again!
I have slowly over the years (and I mean slowly) come to appreciate Porsche. Something about the brand, can’t put my finger on it, put me off ... but there is no denying they make some ludicrously good cars.
porsche board of directors screwed ferdinand like apple screwed steve jobs.. twice... 911, 959 and classic models are only acceptable models to porsche philes..
I agree, you don't hear the horror stories that come with BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Mercs. Somehow, despite their competitors suffering, they got it right.
@@FirstLast-nt5ui 356 also qualifies
Age is creeping up on you;)
@@FirstLast-nt5ui Hardly lol you don't speak for every Porsche fan, dude. Same old "the new material isn't the exact same thing as the first so it sucks" argument I see on music videos as well. Boring.
People say you never forget your first love. I’ll never forget the first time I saw the 911 turbo , always a nostalgic moment for me
Same here, although the one I fell in love with was the 993, the last of the old-school 911s.
I never slam the hood of mines like that. I was like Whoa! 😂
"This is not driving this is pure maths"...
Man.. the editing of this 11 year old video is on another world..

This show really had some good looking cinematography
Porsche 911 for life!!!!

Benjamin Kaufman It can’t, because it can’t have the ICW carbon fiber package with the ICW Brushed Aluminum with the Brushed ICW Wood package. Does it have Premium plus package?
Ha! gay!
Donald Terrell Ferrari ff for life
Well, the basic design is about 60 years old, so you're correct
Great setting in the bailgate area of Lincoln plus the starting point in the multi storey carpark by the Brayford Pool
my heart pounded at The Prodigy's music
"You would have very thin children and you do, because it's a Porsche 911 so you have a thin wife"
It is definately a very practical car, I have a 911 and I would have to say it is one of the most practical and reliable cars I've ever had.
What a lovely piece of kit!
This car aged well for a 12 year old car.
The C6 Corvette also aged pretty well.
Not really
I miss old Top gear :'(
2021 and im still coming back to their version. sad.
I would like to add the filming and the angles they get from the cameras are thoughtout and the timing is perfect "hot air balloon firing off its burner while going over head and still get the shot of the car they want" incredible!! props to the camera guys!! 3:12
If you want a piece of high quality engineering, you buy the Porsche. If you want an art masterpiece on wheels, you buy the Ferrari. Both wonderful cars.
2:13??? Wow!
I love your cars that you test drive I wach it all the time
The shots of the car driving in night and the music reminds me of nfs carbon canyon races

ah man... there.s just nothing like old top gear :)
2:43 Jeremy sure has a way with words.
The Prodigy - Climbatize during the driving session. Great track to drive to
This Porsche 911 Turbo still looks timeless to this day, if this was sold today: everyone would believe it as a 2019 car. Nobody would believe that this Porsche 911 Turbo came from 2008!!
I don’t think any American auto show had or would ever match Top Gear. The show especially with this trio was lit 🔥

My grandpa has a 911 Turbo S and it is insane… he also has an F430 and that is equally as fun in different ways… a Porsche compared to a Ferrari is like judging two different styles of cooking
Does anyone know the song that starts at 3:10-3:27 ?

Those old NFS vibes shots on the highway thru the night are amazing
A Porsche will always be my dream car to own, be it a 944 or 914.

What is a Porsche Turbo?
And what you mentioned is, what I like about Porsche. The 911 for instance improved in so many ways in the past 50 years, but it could keep the characteristics of the first generation.
But I guess it is just a matter of taste, if you want to choose between the Porsche and the Ferrari, because ,as you said, both are awesome cars.
