I’m a huge Porsche (mainly the 911) fan and I find this just hilarious!! I mean it’s old Top Gear, it’ll always be funny and one of the greatest car shows
It’s easily one of the most fierce battles of them all. Even though I love them both. I’d have a Turbo S & a 458 if money was no object. Turbo S for the winter, the 458 for spring and summer.
I 100% agree with Jeremy I think porsches are pretty good cars in performance and mechanics... But they have always the same look and I got bored of it years and years ago. I would love to see a different design but it won't happen... this car is gonna look the same in 20.. 30 or 50 years from now.
Which is one of the most impressive thing about this line. The 911 Design is timeless. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Gt2rs is my absolute favorite car. I would drive that over any ferrari, lambo, bentley, or bugatti.

I’d also imagine that Porsche prices are inflated over in the US compared to what they are over here
Not only, they also consistently keep repeating the same old design over and over, like VW and Audi also love to do. I dont dislike Porsche, but buying an exotic sports car with the same mindset of buying a fridge (it works, it is reliable) is really not the way to go for me. A car enthusiast should be also a little bit mad and irrational, because that is the most important thing about being a petrol head and cannot be explained to someone who does not have the same passion.
I mean, most people who would ever own one, would do just that - own a single one. They've hit the nail on the head with the styling, and a lot of people just go for the "newest 911", because its the same old styling, but with newer amenities and components. Besides, I can say the same thing about recent Ferraris. I have a Ferrari enthusiast friend, who knows the difference between those modern numbered Ferraris, but I can't tell one from the other. Being a Porsche enthusiast myself, we've reached an understanding there.
Same reason apple can with the iPhone. People don't think, they buy for a brand name and don't realise they're missing out on much better stuff elsewhere.
Two different minded people, "it's a porsche" and the second kind actually want X porsche and when you have the money for it, you have almost the same car with modern capabilities.
The most fun part in commentaries are "I hate the 911, they always looks the same?" That sound like "I hate Mustangs, they all looks the same" or "i hate Camaros, they all look the same." If it's to be different of 911, why call it a 911 to start? Well, would be fun have a new version of 968. Something like the V8 from Panamera Turbo S and the classic retangular design that made the 924. 944 and 968 so beautiful.
911 is assassin creed of the cars, they all are similar. Ferrari is skyrim, they live from old glory, while most of them is with bugs, but we all expect new skyrim.
Im sorry but I just can't help think "glorified beetle". I mean in every way it would be the perfect car for me to buy...its in the price range i want, the performance i want, the back seat, the engine location, great engineering....but I just wish the lights didn't look like that.
Spot-on ..exactly what i was thinking ...the best part " ...been around for 4-5 thousand years'''...overpriced beetle ...and yes the greatest con-job by the germans in auto history ...
I didn't care for Porsche, I had a Countach and a Testarossa poster in my room, till the time I got a chance to drive a 911 when I was in college in the early 90s, I finally got my own brand new 911 in 2016.

Besides, I can say the same thing about recent Ferraris. I have a Ferrari enthusiast friend, who knows the difference between those modern numbered Ferraris, but I can't tell one from the other. Being a Porsche enthusiast myself, we've reached an understanding there.
Heard about the RUF??
Same reason apple can with the iPhone. People don't think, they buy for a brand name and don't realise they're missing out on much better stuff elsewhere.
Two different minded people, "it's a porsche" and the second kind actually want X porsche and when you have the money for it, you have almost the same car with modern capabilities.
“Porsche enthusiasts, by which i mean these 2 imbeciles” *points and May and Hammond*
The most fun part in commentaries are "I hate the 911, they always looks the same?" That sound like "I hate Mustangs, they all looks the same" or "i hate Camaros, they all look the same."
If it's to be different of 911, why call it a 911 to start?
Well, would be fun have a new version of 968. Something like the V8 from Panamera Turbo S and the classic retangular design that made the 924. 944 and 968 so beautiful.
8:55 that aged well
11 minutes just fly by, I could watch this arguments for hours.
And no, there is no winner.
Porsche 911 is the Skyrim of cars
By the way I do love the car range
911 is assassin creed of the cars, they all are similar. Ferrari is skyrim, they live from old glory, while most of them is with bugs, but we all expect new skyrim.
@@hayabusaorlovina2761 pls don’t compare the Porsche 911 to the joke of gaming industry called assassin creed

Im sorry but I just can't help think "glorified beetle". I mean in every way it would be the perfect car for me to buy...its in the price range i want, the performance i want, the back seat, the engine location, great engineering....but I just wish the lights didn't look like that.
3:49 jep...that sounds like jeremy xD
4:48 the guy who said 911s are uncool has a Ferrari cap
Spot-on ..exactly what i was thinking ...the best part " ...been around for 4-5 thousand years'''...overpriced beetle ...and yes the greatest con-job by the germans in auto history ...
5:30 that is a true woman of culture
I do hate the 911.
911's stopped being cool once they started using water cooled engines.
Only a handful of people will get this 😂
@@Tray-sq2zr the beetle had an air cooled engine, while the 911s have water cooled, i.e calling the 911 a beetle by being very specific.
1:28 - I love Hammond's face xD
I didn't care for Porsche, I had a Countach and a Testarossa poster in my room, till the time I got a chance to drive a 911 when I was in college in the early 90s, I finally got my own brand new 911 in 2016.
Lol - 02:19 😂😂
Richard was loving his Beetle even more! 🚗
02:59 - Why is the GT2 not turbo if it is a turbo? 🚗
06:31 - Professional Motoring journalist! 😂 😂
7:55: I laughed my ass off the first time I heard that and I still laugh my ass off when I hear it now.
in contrast:
porsche 911 is a glorified vw beetle
lamborghini gallardo is a glorified audi r8
I'd take an r8 over a Gallardo.
@@valianthorizon6890 I'll take an R8 over an overpriced VW Beetle anyday
They are trying to say I’m stupid in 15 different ways
Porsche: like sitting in a Volkswagen Beetle with mustard up its bottom. LM (Mustarded) AO!
Guessing Clarkson disliked German cars in general…. “Every time I use the navi, I end up in Poland,”
You know how you and your friends sometimes argue about the same thing for 20 years
Gotta admit as a german, it took me a while to find it funny that he destroyed one
especially considering what it would be worth now :S
"I get confused with 911. I never know where they all go. Is that a turbo?"
"No that's not. That's normally aspirated"
"So wait a minute the GT2 is a turbo"
"Yes"
"And the turbos are turbos obviously"
"Yes"
"Why is a GT2 not a turbo if it is a turbo?"
"It is a turbo"
"Yes why is it called the GT2 and not a turbo?"
"Because the turbo is called the turbo. You could neve-"
I seriously love this convo
This video has mysteriously made me love the 911 even more...
That's funny. I got a Porsche 911 ad on this video
4:22 Ireland!!
"Ireland? Excellent!!"
"Would you do me a favour?"
I’ve ridden in the back seat of a widowmaker 911 as a child
It was scary BUT fun
“The Ultimate 911”
That escalated quickly
Jeremy is not wrong the Porsche 911 does look like a Volkswagen beetle
They r so funny. I'm watching 1-2 episodes daily of grand tour for 2 weeks now
5:25 she is the smartest woman lol
He must really hate Porsche after the 918 spyder beat the McLaren P1, and his house got destroyed.
I think the greatest part about this video is there is more than 1 part
2:00
I was totally expecting him to say "in the same way 9/11 was the ultimate terrorist attack"
7:21 it is the Best bit!!!
Saying that top gear / grand tour is a show about cars is the same as saying the office is a show about paper
