The Porsche 911 Turbo S is one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. Launch control is an intoxicating experience. But there are so many other things to love about the 991 Turbo S. Check out the video to see our favorite things about this insane German supercar!

I can give you a six figure reason I can't own a Porsche Turbo S haha
+Cars Uncovered
for about a grand you can rent one and run it on the nurburgring.
It is not that difficult to save up for. Really.
If you are so adamant about us having this Porsche, I would very much appreciate it if you gave it to me
1 Reason Why I Can't Buy the Porsche Turbo S, i'm broke.
+GearAddiction 1 Reason Why I can't Buy the Porsche Turbo S, I don't want to be in debt.
Hey since there are few comments so far id just like to say great job on the new videos. I like that you're doing a wide variety of things these days. Keep it up!
Like the way you inserted still shots of the car, while narrating.
Very polished ...
10.8s, that's good enough for Dominic Toretto
+Vlad Mitrofan You owe me a 10 second car
Id live under a freeway for this
sadly never had the opportunity to drive a turbo, still fascinated. but the color on this one .. i really like it in blue.
why don't you have your m5 as the channel's background instead of the sls? I think it's much more of a staple for the channel and would be a little more personal as well. However great video as always!
So much better than a GT-r or a z06, if you think they are comparable you are utterly wrong
I'd hope so. There is quite a large price gap.
but in performance they're comparable right?
+Mitchell Hoogendorp the 911 doesn't walk away but it is definitely better
+FerpiliciousProducts true
+Clayton L I've never driven a 911 turbo s but the GTR (2013 black edition) I drove was much more fun around the track than an 06 Gallardo. And that was for much less money comparatively brand new. I think thats why you see reviewers compare to the top model Corvette and GTR so much. They're an amazing bang for your buck, just like the 911 appears to be.
I think the 996 turbo is an amazing and beautiful car no doubt!
Can you review/compare : a Scion Frs and a Subaru Brz which one is better ??
I think it would be a great idea to demonstrate visually. You give us the numbers but compare that to another car that we are all familiar with, and it would give a great perspective to how fast this car really is. Love your videos!
We love this idea!
+Vehicle Virgins Thanks for the feedback! I really didn't expect that. Love the material you guys put out almost daily. I watch all the videos you guys produce. Keep up the great work!
+Vehicle Virgins You should try and do a back to back comparison between 991 turbo S and 993 GT2. In road car terms.
when he was talking about cornering, does that basically mean it has four wheel steering?
Only slightly
i cant even afford gas for my car 😂😂😂
Best car
Hey what about porsche 911 GT3?
They should also post "Why we love vehicle virgins"
6 great reasons but I still cant afford it ):
make a video on "6 ways on how to own a porsche turbo s"
+Chris Park
1. Drug dealing
2. Robbery
3. Scamming people
4. Financial markets
5. Real estate
6. 9-5 job for 20 years (you should be able to afford the 2015 model in 2035 then, awesome!)
Try "9-5 job for 3 years."
gmansplit after 3 years at a 9-5, the average person would save enough to be able to buy the front bumper.
GuerillaMusic7 Try 3 years 9-5 making 95 grand, similar to what a Physicians Assistant makes. Coincidentally, what I and several of my siblings do or are going to do.
997 dryvr I'm sorry to inform you that you are wrong, sir. Let me explain. I am not supposing that you could get a NEW Turbo S (although I suppose if you were a true moron you could finance it for like 9 god damn years, but I digress), I am referring to a USED 2014/2015 turbo S (~$120000, in case you are curious). I live in the US, in KY specifically, where sales tax is nothing, and all the other taxes would total about 32k of that 95k. So, we are left with 63k. Now, where I live, a duplex can be had, fully renovated for ~110k. If you rent out one side and live in the other, that rent can pay for more than half of the mortgage. So figure ~6k/year left of mortgage to pay (this is assuming a ~10 yr mortgage). We are left with 57k. The average costs I found differ, so lets just say that health insurance is 3500/year. We are left with 54.5k. For utilities (all utilities combined) I found that they cost about 2000/year on average. We are left with 52.5k (notice how we've only used 10k of our net yearly income). And finally food. Even if the person spent 5$/meal eating out 3 times a day every day, food is still only 5500 bucks (a lot for food, but that is assuming you eat out, whereas the average home cooked meal is ~$1.50, which would total to $1650). We are left with $47.5k after ALL the things you mentioned on your list (these numbers could EASILY be cut down, by eating at home for example). Even if we still invested 20k/year into something, I could still put an 83k dollar down payment on that Turbo S, and all I would have to do is pay off my 37k in 1 more year. Now if I only invested 10k/year, I would be left just 8k short of that Turbo S. Of course you have sales tax and registration etc (which in KY would total about 8k as well, so relatively cheap). Now of course, if we didn't eat out and instead made our own food, we would have 10500 dollars extra in the end, which would essentially pay for the whole car (123k total income, ~128k car), assuming a 10k/year investment. So I have basically proven that a Turbo S can be bought in 3 years at 95k salary, even when paying in cold hard cash.
would you rather have a Turbo S or a GT3 (991).... Please reply
Gt3, so i could sell it and buy a 997 turbo and a house.
the turbo s is more expensive than the gt3 lol
I hope to one day have the money for a car like this.
You can do it man work for your goal and get into action and make that money!
I want that car
Why do you keep writing 991 and then saying 911 and then it says on the car 911... But sometimes you say 991 and in a description on a past video it said 911 but the title said 991...?!??!?!?!?!!?!?
911 is a name of a model of a car, like i.e. BMW M3. 991 is the version/generation of the 911, like E46 or E92 in BMW. *captain obvious flies away*
nissan did 4 wheel steering back in the 90s
+Alexander Wood Also honda did, with the prelude, I was even considering to get one for first car, but I don't really like FWD.
Parker talks so fast!
Welcome in the 301 club
I totally agree with you. The 996 wasn't the best in relation to the 996.
4 wheel steering already puts it over everything if i was some rich ass kid i would use these for track days since insurance would be ridiculous for using something like that at a track day there definitely isnt insurance for that
Why is 60 mph the bar to measure from
+jscor65 I'm guessing because it's usually the maximum speed you can go legally. If you advertised 0-100mph you would be encouraging speeding. Similarly 0-30mph isn't as fast or impressive as 0-60mph.
+xtravisxmanx ^
60mph = 100km/h aswell
+Alex Muir 100 km/h is 62 mph.
I've asked this same question and was told it has something to do with the air and aerodynamics at 60mph it was told to me super scientifically and I really didn't understand but I got the point
please review an audi rs4
At $180k+ and the top of the porsche lineup, its not a supercar killer, it is a supercar.
It isn't at the top of Porsche's line up.
Am I the only one who likes the 996
No.
ALL I NEED IS ONE MILLION....LOTTERY......
Still waiting on a r35 review...........
what is that awefull thumping sound?
Big tires. 20" wheels. And Porsche 911s are rarely quiet.
The 996 not that good looking? Parker how could you say that D:
+ravesilly Sorry. I agree with him.
+ravesilly do you really think the 996 is good looking?
Tonight The World Dies Yes because the 996 turbo is my dream car
ravesilly I respect that dude
+ravesilly My only complaint is the droopy headlights. Other than that it is a great car considering how cheap they are going for.
This guy in my neighborhood is a car dealer and he has this sitting in his drive way
996 is awesome :/ ......
Agreed.
The looks are subjective opinion , i think the 996 are the nicest looking one
What in Gods name kind of graphics kit is that. Come on now.
A guys great car will you please sponser me with it will be great to own one
nice car, but very quiet.
This car is for sale now haha
i would love to own one of these but in Canada its almost 250k
+Aaron Chandra
Socialism?
vyso what u mean socialism
Aaron Chandra
Why is the car so much more expensive in Canada? I'm guessing its due to Canada being more liberal and socialistic country than US, putting high taxes on luxury goods. If that is the case, that sucks for car enthusiasts, and as a system I feel like in a way it widens the gap between the rich and poor....
for 250k u can get a 12c but rather get a gtr and upgrade it whicjh cost s around 122.5k for the blackedition
Not almost. Is.
Hey Veyron, race you to 30!
One reason why I shouldn't one one: money
I just need to make $250K a year and I'll run out and get one
Uhhhh what? No you don't. Try 90k a year. Save 40k per year from that 90k (which is easily doable, as after taxes you come out with ~58k left of that 90k , and you can EASILY live off of 18k per year) And after 2.5 years these 991.2 Turbo S's will be ~100k which is exactly the amount you just saved after 2.5 years. And there isn't even any debt owed to a bank! Heck, the 3 year old turbo s's are close to 100k, for porsche certified low miles!

Well, when a car (in Denmark) costs the equivalent of $700,000 I can give you a quite good reason why not to own one
ein porsche ist ein porsche ps. wir sehen uns bei der Kurve
There is one very fucking good reason why i dont own it... btw who is that chinese guy?
Miss Swan.
P90D is faster in the quarter - get a classic Carrera Air Cooled Ride - even a 911T is more fun to drive than this .........get it in Tangerine or Bahama Yellow..........do it now, but mine's not for sale........... : P
Reason 7: My dad will buy me one
If i had 250.000$ i´d buy a M5, a S600, a M3 e30, a Subaru WRX a GTR and a Clio Sport 180 (need a "daily"...)Aaaand... a garage... I´m sure I´d still have enough money for car parts...
True u live in Europe
LOOOL... The difference between the USA and the Europe price is about 60.000 €
***** In Spain you can find a good second hand M5 e39 for 15-20k, I
***** Dollar-Euro relation is about 1-0,8 so i thought that 230.000€ would be about 250.000$, but the difference of price is incredible...
+Alex Iglesias what are the prices in Spain? are they cheaper?
m5
wheres the personality.
I'll stick with my M3
2.6 seconds? so its faster then the 918? makes no sense
+IShoNoHonor Car and Driver tested the 918 and got 2.2
Other publications have gotten around ~2.4
Aura Force interesting, if this 911 turbo s is actually 0-60 in 2.6 there appears to be no reason for a lamborghini or gtr
I checked the official Porsche website, the Turbo S goes from 263.267,00 EUR which is 287.290 U.S. dollars, so the price is not 180k as stated in this video. Maybe its 180k in america but here in europe this car is waaay more expensive and less affordable. Its almost in the same price range as a 458 here in europe.
New video: 6 Reasons why you cant afford a Porsche Turbo S
I think the GT3 is way better than the turbo.. At least it has an exhaust note and doesn't sound like a vacuum
I agree completely
The 991 Turbo sounds much better in person.. It isn't as aggressive as the GT3, but it certainly does not sound like a vacuum haha.
Charlie Long i've heard it so many times in the streets .. one of them even full throttle it no exhaust sound at all
+Herp Derp If you can afford the car, you can also afford a nice aftermarket exhaust.
diego04CR aftermarket exhaust sound worst than the stock.. im talking about the turbo though.. innotech on a gt3 is gameover
ughhh but the gtr tho
+Michael Fiorina but the transmission tho
True true...
conveniently forgot the gtr nismo... porsche is made better and is nicer inside but the gismo is just as fast for 40k less
+Alexander White Yeah I love the Nismo. That said, the 991 turbo S is much easier to daily while being just as performance oriented.
+Alexander White I forgot the Turbo S does a better 1/4 mile time then the Nismo. Which Nismo are we talking about the Stock one or the N-Attack package
243kingfrank i know it beats it's quarter mile time but if i'm not mistaken the nismo has better mid and corner exit acceleration. it's a better track car with a more tunable engine for it's price. turbo s is a much better road car though i do agree. i'm a fan of modified cars given my choice so i'd rather build something like an sti or an frs to match these cars' performance but that's just me haha
243kingfrank and i meant the standard nismo
243kingfrank just saw your comment on the protege suspension video... small world huh
One reason is too expensive
6 reasons why you should forgo a down payment on a house*
I have 180,000 reasons to not buy this car...
I can give you 180, 000 reasons not to get one.
I'd rather have a Lexus honestly
May I hear what type?
Jeffrey Formeister
I guess something from their SC line, 2017 when it comes out? It's not like I'm going to actually be able to afford it then though :c
TheMightyWill I love Porsche, but I'd rather have a cayman gt4 than this turbo s for the fun
+TheMightyWill SC, ISF or LFA for me
Aura Force
You can't say "I'd honestly rather have a Lexus" and then pull out an LFA. That's like saying "I'd rather drive a Toyota than a Volkswagen. By which I mean an Lexus ISF". One you prefer is already obviously better so the fact that you prefer it doesn't mean anything
gtr any day
Over a gtr!!! My man are you insane. I'd never over a gtr. This 911 is great but not over a gtr and not in terms of solely performance okay.
Exactly performance doesn't matter in the real world
0-60 in 2.6 sec?? good joke lol
+Labatsports It's been proven numerous times.
+Labatsports Actually Its t True
+xtravisxmanx porsche usa website: 2.9 sec
porsche europe website: 3.1 sec
so how did he do it in 2.6 sec? Maybe the turbo s in the video is tuned...
Labatsports Apparently Porsche is very conservative when they released the 0-60 time. You can check out the Motor Trend review. They got a 0-60 of 2.6s.
the colour is awful
1/4 mile in 10.8? hmmm challenger hellcat does 1/4 in 10.8 too.
+Luke Thompson challinger hellcat cant go around corners, track time goes to the 911
+Luke Thompson WRONG it does 10.8 with Slicks/Drag radicals. The hellcat does the 1/4 mile in low 11 With 100% STOCK tires
Nissan GT-R
Great car but no...
buys 60k GT-R Destroys Turbo S on the track and Stoplights for a third of the cost
Tesla P85D goes 0-60 is 2.6 also. I should know. I won't at tesla lol just saying
I'd still take the gtr. Sorry fanboys.
Why?
+xtravisxmanx Because GTR Fanboys.
because it's 80k cheaper
That was the most hypocritical comment I think I've ever seen. GTR fanboys are known for trolling on videos, which is precisely what you do. By the way, no one cares about your preferences on the GTR. Take your comments elsewhere.
vaajchang Valid point.
