Thats how they market the car . What else they have to say. They are selling same slow car at the price of super car. Fortunately they have stupid fan base accept anything they sell.
That's how it works in super specialized product domains though. For example audiophile headphones. You can have a Hifiman Arya for £1000 or a slightly better Hifiman Susvara for over £5k.
They are lucky they have a bunch of sicophants that keep buying the same shit over and over who want the boy racer look but just talk about what spec they ordere
@@G82Watts ohh it's a drivers car and the engineering is great. But the only place 90% of them go is in a flipper garage after they take it to cars and coffee twice
Porsche did it right. What a nice update to the Porsche 911 GT3. They just nailed its purpose as a driver's car. That green color on the Touring version is just gorgeous. Andreas Preuninger hats off you for donning it again and seeing Tom doing first look just the best, TopGear team keep up with great work :)
"I did a thousand miles in one. The interesting thing is that I didn't put the radio or the aircon on, all the way home... because it didn't' have one."

Hello there I'm just wondering what is your job that you can afford this car ? I will appreciate it if you answer,, ( I'm 22 and I don't know what to do with my life ?? I just want earn enough money to buy performance cars and a house 😊
I could listen to AP all day, he’s truly a car person, to be able to still put the 4.0l engine into the GT3 and still meet emissions, just makes for a great future for petrolheads
People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.
Of course this type of cars are not meant for salary earners because salary job is just like modern slavery. You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car
Many people in my country are secret millionaires through investments in stocks they invest and reinvest a lot and the money continues to arrive weekly. When you see them driving big cars you'll be wondering where they're working 😂
Investing has proven to be an incredibly beneficial decision to me and that's what should be on every wise man's mind right now, My stuck earnings continue to play an important role in growing my overall wealth and reducing my dependence on my salary.
Yeah,78k from Ms Lauren Mcfarlin, looking up to acquire a new house, blessings because she's been the one helping people. She's also as professional broker.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed it, haha. That buckle + statements like “I like problems, we all do! We need a little bit of pressure and challenge” certify him as a true engineer, and make him the “Howard Wolowitz” at Porsche, lol.
screens are cheaper than fancy analog dials, this is why every manufacturer is using them under the excuse of it being "more futuristic and technological" (it's just placebo effect)
There hasn't been an analogue rev counter in a car for more than 20 years. You're being nostalgic about a motor, driven by the ECU and the type of light hitting your eyes.
GT3 engine but with rear seats, is what I want a 911 to be if I can do whatever I want. Glad Porsche made the exact car I want (even though I cannot afford it).
@@xRockee Partly because of tradition. Also every bit of practicality helps. Rear seats makes the car more useful, and given it's performance and style, even more unique and special. Also, sure, why not kids!
I really liked the talk with andreas and hearing him talk about the experience of driving the car. What he says about the straight line that it's just a space between the 2 curves, is true. These guys are keeping the car community alive
The GT3 Touring looks fantastic but am I the only one who doesn't like the fact that it's still got the motorized rear wing and would like it to have the classic duck tail spoiler instead? I hope I'm not the only one in here! 💗
@@theporschepilottpp910you never do that. It will be aerodynamically unstable and the rear is balanced with the front. If you hit a gust over 100 mph you’re in trouble especially if it’s 100% cross wind
The main reason I love and respect Porsche is because they really understand what there loyal customers wants and how a sport car should be .in a time where regulators aggressively push there agenda , Porsche engineers find way to keep ther 911 appealing or even better even if it’s a little .and the good news from Andrew is that in his shift the 911 GT will continue that path ….hats up
Love these, but I’m just not warming up to the new tail light design. It seems a little bulky and disproportionate to the rear bumper. It’s so similar to the previous version, but it doesn’t hit the mark.
I would definitely get the touring with PDK, but not anytime soon. I’ve got the feeling that the digital cluster either won’t last long or will get dramatically improved so it doesn’t look as cheap as it currently does. He even admitted he was against getting rid of the analog tachometer. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy my beautiful 2024 Carrera S. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger.
It's kind of crazy that the folding carbon buckets have finally come back. I remember the 997 GT2RS buckets had them way back then. It makes getting to the back area (and rear window cleaning!) so much nicer.
Very good presentation by Andreas - I like how he explains everything. Initially, I wasn't too thrilled about the digital tach, but the new one that can turn the dial so that 9K RPMs is at the 12 o'clock position looks great, IMO.
I'll take a Touring with the lightweight package and a manual please! Been good this year so the keys under the Christmas tree would be a nice present indeed! 😂😊
The new Touring is in noway only %85 of an S/T, thats Porsche marketing for you. More like 97% the same, especially if you spec the lightweight package.
@Andi: Please bring that „Assist“ button (app 21:40) in all the Porsches! I’m on the market for a 992 TurboS, and if the 992.2 would make it difficult to deactivate assistant systems, then this would be really a sad thing. I understand you have to bring these systems, but I need to have the option to switch them off without stumbling through menus. Nice cars, btw!
People kept wanting lower gear ratios and Porsche kept saying they couldn’t do it on previous models but they did it here, and raised the price by $40k. I’m sure customers are very happy.
rear seats in the Touring, with that windscreen rake and near-zero headroom, elegantly shown by Tom. actually I wanna see Andreas get in the back seats to see how deeply uncomfortable that looks.
Which version would you choose?
The version hosted by Clarkson Hammond and May to be quite honest... especially after this ==> 12:17

It’s probably more like 95% of the S/T but he had to play it conservatively to avoid criticism of the 3x price of the S/T
Porsche's commitment to ever-improving the 911 recipe is legendary and their engineers are god tier beings of sheer will power.

nice overview, touring 2+2 would be perfect for me in dream land
He really put it perspective when talking about the PDK V Manual. O.4 secs is decent sized gap on the track (depending on the track of course) .

Looks so much better than the RS.

The difference between this and the last one is like trying to see the difference between current and last gen iphones.
How could you skip asking Andreas what cars he DOES have in his garage? I can’t believe he doesn’t have a GT3. I hope it’s something special at least.
Such a great conversation!
