Rather than always repeatedly requesting, why don't someone find owner of the nsx r or anything else that willing to lend their cars for review? It bugs me to see those type of comments. I mean I'm already impressed james find all those cars in his series of review. They're not easy to find let alone easy to drive around.
I paused at 2 seconds for this comment. I was hoping you'd do this car. I got a white 2012 4.0 for $20k over sticker when a collector backed out. I was actually going in looking for a regular RS, walked out with this car, fell head over heels, and I don't even care that it's skyrocketed in value, because I daily and track drive this car like value doesn't mean a thing. It's the epitome of an analog car.
@@porschecollector727 59,000. But that's also taking into consideration there are a couple other cars that I weekend drive/track. But looking back, I can't believe the dealer just let me have it for 20k over. And I'm betting the guy who backed out is really kicking himself.
@@porschecollector727 not to mention, I almost didn't go to look at the RS at all, because I really didn't wanna get rid of my sure cooled Porsche at the time, and I couldn't even come close to being able to afford both.
Here is some other modern classics you should do a video about 560 sec amg, 190-2.5, mk2 golf gti, mk4 golf r32, maybe even a Mercedes w140 s600 or a s70 if you can find one. I think that cars value will jump in couple of years because its the last Mercedes where engineers had more influence over accountants and cars were built with little regard to material and production cost, and lets not forget it was designed by Bruno Sacco.
Of course they were designed with regard to "materials and production costs". I know what you're inferring here. The W220 had more development costs for the new materials and polymers, etc., and production methods than the 140 ever did (all to save weight and compete with the aluminum A8). Nearly 300 patents were filed on behalf of the 220. The 220 was the most innovative and expensive car for them to develop in recent history.
I've never really understood why older people adore classic cars, but watching these videos has given me some perspective. I know when I get older I'll remember these cars as classics.
these videos prove time and again that Mr jww was, is, and always will be the most classiest ,suave and the best automotive you tuber and automobile journalist in the world, with the only exception of perhaps the old top gear cast and Chris Harris!
By far one of the most extreme and appreciated track-focused cars I've seen to date even on the roads of Boston while going to grad school and cars and coffee events.. My dream...
Murcielago roadster 6speed manual, 355 6 speed manual, 550 Barchetta 6 speed manual,6 speed Gallardo Superleggera or 6 speed Balboni 550, 2005 NSX, 6 speed Ferrari Superamerica, Ferrari V12 612 Scaglietti 6speed manual- with an aftermarket exhaust they sound amazing, Diablo, 996 Porsche GT2 RS, 997 Porsche Turbo Mezger engine, 996 GT3 RS, Maybe the 430-16M- The sound is incredible with the top down,2012 Mercedes SL65 AMG, SLR McLaren, 2006 Maserati Gransport MC, 07 Aston Martin V-12 Vanquish, 2011 Aston Martin dbs, F50 Ferrari, Enzo. Those are some incredible cars. Hope you get them on the channel. Thanks for all the content that you have provided and will provide. Good luck with everything!
6:05 I REALLY AGREE. How hard can it be? 1. Pick a sheet of paper in stuttgart 2. Make a box for every x amount of cars in the collection 3. Start checking those boxes, for every done car!
I think another interesting comparison would be the Porsche Cayman R, another very lightweight care and perfect for British roads. If you could get your hands on one of those i think that would be class!
Ideal spec is that colour 👍. The significance of the ‘Mezger engine’ is that he is Porsche’s most famous engine designer (other than Ferdinand himself of course!), In that he designed a good portion of their race engines, including the infamous 917 series, the multiple F1 World Champion winning TAG McLaren engines, as well as the much less successful Footwork Arrows V12 F1 engines. He also penned the original boxer 6s for the 911, etc... So, this car truly wore dents the end of an era in both chassis AND engine design!
All over the country / despite this video looking good, it really wasn’t 😂 crap road surface and loads of traffic 🤷🏻♂️ go to Scotland our deepest Wales if you really want it
You want roads worse than the UK? Come to Finland. In the winter (as in right now) we are driving on an ice rink. Spring we have giant holes due to the ice heave under the roads. And in the summer...... remember that only 40% or roads are asphalt in Finland. All “fun” in various ways in a Cayenne S :) Bad roads are not always “bad”
Porsche are all about the evolution of 911. Any other car manufacturer makes a super car eith 500hp people say that's all it has. Porsche does it and people say wow that's alot. The magic of Porsche
Good video JWW! Perfect roads to drive these cars, and shame about the weather conditions... Not a Porsche fan, however cannot be denying, this is a very very special car.
James I caught that you went to get in the driver's seat on the wrong side lol! Great video as always and I love that perspective of being on the outside drivers window looking in and seeing the road simply brilliantly done!!
I find it interesting James subs have really increased during this series whilst Sams have barely crept up for “drive the world “ which I also like. Really interesting reviews of genuinely cool cars James,well done✔️
Maybe I'm in the minority but I really do prefer the 991 body to the 997. Just offers a much better stance, far more imposing with the big hips. Just enjoy that James truly loves Porsche himself and appreciate s how special they are. They always sound and look the best to me at Goodwood
BSNismo BSNismo 991 is more a GT-Car, 997 more nimble and classy 911. A 997FL is a very fast car even nowadays, but it has so many classic features like hydraulic steering, timeless interior ie. on the other hand, so much useless staff is missing, which u maybe dont wont as a puristic driver.
loving this series . i sure hope the term modern classic is used more liberally though . these are nearing new cars to me . love to see some face bending older stuff on here .
Love the 4.0 for the heritage, nostalgia and resale value, but it's clear the manual 911.2 is the better car to drive. Btw, love the series Mr. JWW. Been tuned in since day one
for pure driving experience, throttle response and POWER you need to drive a Gen 2 Viper GTS. Highly underrated drivers cars and a very unique driving experience.
I 've been waiting for this one for a long time....since you started this serie i have to confess ! This is the ultimate road car for me i dream abaout it every single day since it's been released ! I hope i'll get a 3.8 RS next year to get closer from this one, but if i win the lotery i swap it for a 4.0 instantly! Thanks james for this video, you're the best car youtuber, keep going man ;-)
James, brilliant review first of all! With so much hype about the 991 GT2 RS, it's predecessor and my personal favorite, the 997.2 GT2 RS sadly seems to be forgotten. Don't think us old school enthusiasts didn't see that silver one behind you in the closing scene, so I'm hoping you will be reviewing the widow maker !!!
Awesome Video of hands down the most awesome car!! (In my opinion, of course). Great work James! A bit off topic but I had no idea that European Spec 997.1 PCM's were different than American Spec 997.2 PCM's. Pure Blue 997.2 Speedster is in the works for me at the moment because as much as I idolize the RS 4.0, you might as well buy a CGT for that money.
If I owned that building, there would be a cot in the middle of the isle where I slept. 🙄 I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your content very much. Thanks for your efforts and please keep them coming.
255/35r19 on the 19×9 would be a better match than a 245/35r19 for the 325/30r19 on a 19x12 . A 255 on a 9(10.2 inches wide) and a 325 on a 12(rated on 11.5 plus .5 width takes the tire from 13 inches wide to a 13.2 inch width using the "two tenths rule") have the same amount of overhang.
This is one of the best automotive series ever.
I agree 100%! It's amazing and he does such a great work filming it!
Mercedes benz SLS AMG Black Series Please please please please
yes please
Murcielago SV you would prolly fall in love and buy one.
Yes James! Even when commenting suggesting this car I knew it would already be on your list!
Great video, James. Lots of useful information. Impeccable presentation on this one. Not too zany, just no-nonsense Porsche goodness.
Sls Blackseries please Mr JWW
anthony dobbelaere thats what i have commented about.... i really wanna see that car and get a review from the wonderful British vocabulary of James
Now you should review the 911 GT2 RS 997.2!!!
Pedro Leão Jamesy pls do this
This series is pure fire.. You're killing it dude!
Not a bad way to start the day, a Mr. JWW video!
James, go for an NSX-R NA2 (I believe it's my eighth time commenting) you won't be disappointed
Also a great car, but not easy to source one and GBPJPY has collapsed over the last two years
Rather than always repeatedly requesting, why don't someone find owner of the nsx r or anything else that willing to lend their cars for review? It bugs me to see those type of comments.

seen through glass has a video on one now!
Thankyou James, I can now stop leaving comments suggesting you drive a GT3 RS 4.0 for the Modern Classics series 😂👍

No such thing as 2012, only 2011 model year

Excellent stuff! You really should try to get an E90 M3 Carbon Racing Technology if possible! Only 67 were made.
Noting special about BMW

Am I an older person now? 😭😂
Ian Alonso dude ,you don’t have to be older to adore classics 😂
The exterior tour really ties the series together, I'm glad you truly listen to your fans unlike many others. Keep up the good work as always.
A review of the 996 GT3 would be awesome!

One of the sickest cars ever made
Nobel m600 a car still made but the overall design isn't new. People who drive it love it
What about something completely different James? A Renault Clio V6! Would love to see that.
Clio Williams
@@888mf4 both would be even more special!
6:05 I REALLY AGREE.
How hard can it be?
1. Pick a sheet of paper in stuttgart
2. Make a box for every x amount of cars in the collection
3. Start checking those boxes, for every done car!
Thank you James, brilliant as always. It’s the editing and continuity that adds to your series. How about Peugeot 205 GTI.
Still the best gt3 rs to date. It’s a manual, what a dream
I think another interesting comparison would be the Porsche Cayman R, another very lightweight care and perfect for British roads. If you could get your hands on one of those i think that would be class!
Your modern classic series is killing it. You are driving the best cars with cinema levels of quality and editing. Great job James
That engine just sings... what a delightful tone it have... epic!
Episode 8 the best yet because Porsche. Again top top quality and again Porsche
When I make some money, I'm coming back to rewatch this series and choose my fleet of cars!!

I like how you asked whether to do exterior specs before driving and then actually doing it.
Great job @MrJWW
Probably one of my favorite 911 model. I saw Salomondrins black one back in the CUP days
Bro where are the roads you test cars on?
All over the country / despite this video looking good, it really wasn’t 😂 crap road surface and loads of traffic 🤷🏻♂️ go to Scotland our deepest Wales if you really want it
I totally agree but then again Ashridge is soooooooooooo much closer. Live and work in Berkhamsted so love the views you are giving us. :)
You want roads worse than the UK? Come to Finland. In the winter (as in right now) we are driving on an ice rink. Spring we have giant holes due to the ice heave under the roads. And in the summer...... remember that only 40% or roads are asphalt in Finland. All “fun” in various ways in a Cayenne S :) Bad roads are not always “bad”
@@morganmobiletto yeah so come to Bulgaria and try our "roads"... they are crap :)
A Porsche 993 GT2 or Carrera RS would be a great car for your modern classic series!
Hard to get hold of but some old group B rally cars would be awesome to see on the channel 205 T16, RS200, Audi quattro and metro 6R4
Do the JDM legends Supra, NSX, RX7, GTRs that would be fun to see.
I finally got to drive one at a track. No hipe this car is incredible! 🤤 Life goals 😂
I honestly think the TDF should go and make a place for a CGT..
Purely epic. Please don’t ever get rid of your Porsche.
This is my favourite car ever. That particular generation.
I'm glad you're doing this serie, these cars needed more coverage from today's stand point !
Without a doubt in my top 3 favourite Porsche’s
Would love you to do some Japanese. Perhaps a rotary RX7?
Or an Evo 6 tommi makinen?
@@Chrissy-H Also a good pick
Porsche are all about the evolution of 911. Any other car manufacturer makes a super car eith 500hp people say that's all it has. Porsche does it and people say wow that's alot. The magic of Porsche
Thease modern classic videos are outstanding! That 4.0 is really a different beast than the 3.8.
Good video JWW! Perfect roads to drive these cars, and shame about the weather conditions...
Not a Porsche fan, however cannot be denying, this is a very very special car.
James I caught that you went to get in the driver's seat on the wrong side lol! Great video as always and I love that perspective of being on the outside drivers window looking in and seeing the road simply brilliantly done!!
4.0 L Boxer 6 500 PS 125 ps liers 1 cylinder 83 ps great Porche Engines
Best 911 of all time, also when is the Murciélago SV vídeo coming😁
I'm loving this series! It has become one where when I see a new video, I watch it regardless of the car featured
Ooooohhhh that white spec is LIT silver/red trim!
I absolutely love the 4.0. Last of its kind.
Superb as always James. The best so far.
James, a fantastic choice of a modern classic. A true drivers car to engage with. Bravo
Modern classics is the best series! 4.0 is definitely a beast
Awesome work as always James. You take us all on a ride without BS of the “other” CZcamsrs & we thank you for that. WHAT A CAR mate.
would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the steering feel between the 4.0L and your 991.2 GT3... Cheers
I find it interesting James subs have really increased during this series whilst Sams have barely crept up for “drive the world “ which I also like. Really interesting reviews of genuinely cool cars James,well done✔️
Really like these modern classic episodes!
Best car I've ever driven. I got some videos of it myself on my channel. Autobahn driving etc.
Would be interesting to see you test that 996 GT2 in the background. Proper hard core boosted 911.
This is next level content compared to everyone else! Keep it up this is fantastic!
Loving this new series, James. Great idea and execution. Looking forward to more content.
Thank you Mr JWW. I would like to see the 997 GT2RS because all I have ever heard about it is that this model is dangerous AF.
Funny you showing my grey/gold 3.8GT3RS at JZM. Totally unique those 997 RS’s.
Great level education on the car - I walk away wiser
Loves playing with the box
Still the one, thx James, Adam, Tofino, CA
Another great modern classic video. If you can find one, how about a Porsche 914 2.0/6 next?
Maybe I'm in the minority but I really do prefer the 991 body to the 997. Just offers a much better stance, far more imposing with the big hips. Just enjoy that James truly loves Porsche himself and appreciate s how special they are. They always sound and look the best to me at Goodwood
I think a lot of people would agree with you, but at the same time the 997 might be better to drive
BSNismo BSNismo 991 is more a GT-Car, 997 more nimble and classy 911.
A 997FL is a very fast car even nowadays, but it has so many classic features like hydraulic steering, timeless interior ie. on the other hand, so much useless staff is missing, which u maybe dont wont as a puristic driver.
My favorite gt3rs to date. Will be a legend like the 2.7rs. Only wish I could have afforded one.
loving this series . i sure hope the term modern classic is used more liberally though .
these are nearing new cars to me . love to see some face bending older stuff on here .
That was great a great review, love that car......good work !
1360kg with almost 500bhp.... mental!
We must get this channel to at least a million plus....
Murcielago SV, Honda NSX, 599 GTO, Noble M600, Vantage V12S / GT12, Singer 911.
This is how a car "programme" should be - for peeps that love cars, like I do
Very cool!! This could as well be your all time car which you talked about a while ago, manual, special and rare.. perfect choise I would say 😉
Hahaha this channel is now become only about modern classics. That might be a good thing
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the 4.0 for the heritage, nostalgia and resale value, but it's clear the manual 911.2 is the better car to drive.

Thanks james for this video, you're the best car youtuber, keep going man ;-)
That 996 GT2 would be sick. No where near enough documentation on that death machine
How do you not have 1m subscribers! Brilliant.
This channel, deserves to have a 1m subs
What a stunning video JWW!!!! Well done sir! Porsche is king! Nuff said
That 997 GT2RS on the side needs a review.....BADLY!!

2005 Subaru STI Widetrack, a proper modern classic with rally dna, it is the best generation, the last of the old school heroes.
This channel should be on tv!
Possibly the best Porsche of the last 20 yrs
Such a great video! Modern classics series is THE BESTTTT!!!

You should drive a 911 RSR on track!
255/35r19 on the 19×9 would be a better match than a 245/35r19 for the 325/30r19 on a 19x12 . A 255 on a 9(10.2 inches wide) and a 325 on a 12(rated on 11.5 plus .5 width takes the tire from 13 inches wide to a 13.2 inch width using the "two tenths rule") have the same amount of overhang.
