Cancelling my RS order for a 911 S/T?

- Could this be the ultimate Porsche 911?
Welcome to the new 911 S/T. On the face of things, it looks remarkably similar to the GT3 Touring. No shock, really, as the majority of the bodywork is the same.
However, lurking underneath the relatively subdued appearance is the upgraded and outright raucous version of the 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six found in the track-focused 911 GT3 RS. That’s good for 525hp and 465Nm.
Rather than using the PDK gearbox of the RS, the S/T takes the six-speed manual from the regular GT3. It comes with a few tweaks, including a shorter final drive and a single-mass flywheel.
Despite using the RS’ track-honed engine, Porsche engineers have tuned the chassis of the S/T to be the ultimate road-focused machine. This includes a simplified suspension setup and the removal of rear-wheel steering.
With a price tag of £231,600 and an extremely limited production run, you’d hope this to be a truly special entry into the iconic sports car’s storied history. Is it? Mat gets behind the wheel to find out…

Love how the engineer just takes the time to explain everything in detail and is genuinely enthousiastic about it
Agree.😅
"the engineer" lol is that the way you refer to Andreas Preuninger? the guy who runs the entire Porsche GT department? For shame!
yeh its part of the sales hype
@@hassyg4083 sour grapes.
genuinely what? 😂
This car is one of the most beautifully designed 911s Porsche has ever come up with. And I could listen to the Porsche guy's explanations for hours...
For me for 2500 days.
If you're interested, Henry Catchpole on Carfection channel did a segment with Mr. Andreas about the GT3RS. It's a good watch!
991.2 speedster
Its all the same look abd sane design
they have to give the sales pitch
Honestly, that car in that spec (minus the circle decals) is absolute perfection to my mind 👌🏼
I agree, except I like the circles as well! 😊
needs to be in mat black with flames painted on the side.😀😁
I agree but keep the circles and remove the porsche logo
Probably Matts best ever review. Entertaining without being puerile, and very watchable. Hope this is the new standard.
This might the best car video made in the last few years.
Man I love Mr. Andreas Preuninger. He's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does. Also, he's a super cool person.
The car has some nice elegant touches like Fittipaldi VGT.
@@purwantiallan5089what does that mean?
Couldn't agree more. Could listen to him all day. Matt has done a great job here. Great piece.
You can see how much Matt is loving the 911 by making such a detailed review about this car. Awesome!
Matt always love those 911s...😅
Mat is this your burner?
yeh he is funded by german car industry
bro he is comparing it in detail for more knowledge of which is better a gt3rs or 911 s/t
I guess everyone love 911❤
23:35 "There's a Touring over there. Drive them back-to-back"..... this guy's living the dream :D
You can tell this engineer is really enthusiastic and really knowledgeable about this car, makes for a great watching experience
aka Andreas Preuninger, aka the guy who runs the entire Porsche GT department, aka every real car person's favorite to listen to talk about their cars.
@@SomeGuysGarageAndreas is a LEGEND
Another LEGEND is Norbert SINGER, he was behind the winning Le Mans racers, including the 917.
@@charleslu7044 he sure is!
Carwow’s content is getting better and better matt. This is amazing
Buttkiss.
Absolutely, Matt is killing it!
Mat always amazing on those contents man.
And yet, for some reason carwow are deleting their content too! I don't really know why though.
yeh lots of german car selling
That Porsche guy knows his creations to the core ❤️ unlike some manufacturer who don't even know much. Another masterpiece from Carwow.
And that's why Porsche is able to produce these amazing quality machines. Even the top-level guys absolutely love their products and know every single detail. It more than just a job to them.
"That Porsche guy", have some RESPECT for Andreas, he is not "just a Porche guy", he is the master mind behind EVERY 911 GT car and he is the main reason why the GT3 still has a manual transmission.
@@j.d.8593 No need to go on some online crusade for someone who probably never even reads these comments...
@@cookiedad6056 ikrrrr. I remembered when Mat reviewed the new C63s and the guy from Mercedes feels like he's not feeling the new C63s much 😂
@@j.d.8593 sheesh. Dang man. Sorry if that offends you if I didn't pronounced Andreas Preuninger his name. I didn't disrespect him tho.
What a machine.
That ST has a perfect design for me.. And the blue with the decals just works, the interior is beautiful aswell. That engineer Andreas i think really explained stuff well and he really knows every little detail which is expected but he got a charm.. What else do you expect from a carwow video 👌
that shake in revs once you shift sounds so good. Don't know other cars than 911 doing this shake.
911 S/T done 0 to 60 time faster than even the NISSAN DAISHIN SILVIA.
Matt having fun during a commentary is such a delight to watch
We all know Matt loves cars, and for once the person sent by the manufacturer gives me the feeling they also fell in love with this vehicle. Thanks Andreas!
Absolutely loving the vibe in this video! 🚗💨 Matt's genuine passion and Andreas' meticulous knowledge combine to bring out the spirit of the 911. It's heartwarming to see the fusion of dedicated engineering and sheer love for cars. And let's not forget that iconic shake in the revs when shifting, truly a unique Porsche trademark! 👌
Does anyone else feel that this combo of precision engineering and raw passion is what sets Porsche apart from the rest? Can't wait to see what they come up with next! 🌟 Keep these gems coming, Matt!
Yay! This one's not a private video! 😂
Wdym?
@@blue0856fr
@@blue0856it was up as a notification then when clicked it had gone and said it was private, now it has been reposted
I was wondering that because I clicked it and came up as a private video
I wondered if you were referring to the Jeep Avenger video. That was made private after Mat's honest review of it which it seems Jeep didn't like so it was pulled.
Dangggg Louis deserves to do more then barely getting out of 1st gear! Give him a shot lol😂
😅
Louis deserved this more.
Louis for drag races
Andreas is a LEGEND! It must have been so cool to talk to such an incredibly knowledgeable Porsche Engineer. It was just so interesting hearing him list off the numerous cool features and interesting parts to this stunning ST (although hearing ST just makes me think of gloriously singing Ford/Volvo 5 cylinder turbo engines screaming and popping and banging haha!) I love how he redirected Matts attention back onto the engine decklid vent/grill, the man knows what he wants to discuss and the most efficient order to discuss these points. How very German and an example of the efficiency they inherently possess and how the Germans make the greatest cars in the world!
After watching this I would hands down take the S/T and cancel the RS. This may well be my new favourite. loved this video and the explanations and discussions with the Porsche reps more like this please, Excellent job Matt.
If Matt could get an allocation, 100% he would have switched to ST.
It's already an achievement getting an allocation for a GT3RS let alone a ST😅
I’m only fulfilling my allocation if it’s got a lightened flywheel!
It costs more than the RS in USA!
That was one of the most complete videos I’ve watched on a 911 ever.
The engineer’s insight was so helpful and balanced.
what I love about Porsche is how specific they are in their design while having variety, but a specific type of variety, like they have GT road cars that are sporty and fun but comfortable enough too while having that driver's car experience(like this car or the Turbo S)and if you want more and want to sacrifice some comfort for performance they have the GT3 and GT4 for you and if you're a Racer and you want your Porsche for the Track they have the RS for you, but they're ultimate a Sport/Performance Car and they're very focused and specific on that and they keep refining it over the years instead of changing their strategy or losing their focus on this mission, they consistency and insistency on this is admirable
Turbo s isn’t a drivers car it’s pure performance
Yeah they have so many choices and models
Mr. Preuninger a real pleasure to hear you going over details!
Love the humility and humbleness of the Chief of Porsche’s GT Division! He’s like so passionate and down to earth
As cool as the car is that guy from Porsche is by far the coolest guy from Porsche they've ever sent! He's easy to understand he seems extremely knowledgeable plus he actually has a sense of humor!! Porsche should send that guy out for more interviews and car reviews!
He's the head of the GT department😂 he's not really "sent by Porsche" but is presenting the car that his team built and he was in charge of. Ofc he's not the one presenting the newest base 911 or Taycan. Also if you look, you'll see he's the one presenting all the recent GT cars like the GT3 RS, GT2 RS or Cayman GT4 RS. There are plenty of CZcams videos with him. One absolutely amazing with him and Chris Harris talking about classic RS cars with a peak of the new GT2 RS at the end
What an absolutely brilliant interview! So cool to have a well explained, interesting discussion over this car. Brilliant.
One of the best Porsche videos I've seen, great work. Nice flow to the conversation without interruptions yet good questions.
I throughly enjoyed this video. From the beginning to the end. I love the way CarWow is continuing to go and can’t wait for more videos 🚀
Just the fact it's a manual makes it a lot better... also looks much better then the gt3rs personally speaking
Kanon Shibuya's C-WEST RAZO SILVIA GT300 car costed $15.000 less than this 911 S/T.
You are crazy. Manual
Yeh the GT3RS looks a bit over the top tbh
bro stop the cap
why do people like Manual so much
it specially makes no sense for a supercar
Matt....I really enjoyed this review, especially having the porsche engineer there to explain and contrast the differences between the different cars and go more in depth on the technical differences. A++
_Andreas is my kind of engineer: Solid understanding if the concepts, knows his numbers off the top of his head, yet never loses sight of what the numbers mean for the driving sensation... And the results is this delicious machine here._
Fabulous review Matt & the engineer's passion & enthusiasm came through. Also loved the fact he had his own spec car so u got a good comparison 👍🏾
I would've thought the original R8 and the Gallardo with the gated manual would be up there as well for best manual gear shift. Jeremy Clarkson loved it.
R8 LMS also gated with 7 Speed MT.
I think it's a sinle clutch setup tho so it's probably not a very fast shift
my 981 gt4 is up there
@@peoplesrepublicofchina8340 Me too, 981 Spyder here. I had a lightweight flywheel on my 05 Boxster S. I’ll put one in my Spyder some day, and both cars have the Porsche short shifter. Short shifter and LWF are a magical combo.
@@drmvp21 it is single clutch because it's a manual transmission.
What a beautiful machine, also the color similar to Nardo looks fabulous. And the passion visible in all folks in the video, Matt seems crazy happy and the engineer so detailed and passionate.
Doing this with the gt2rs motor in a manual would have been monumental...
Although the naturally aspirated is great for the street... Nothing compares to the feeling when you short shifting 2nd to 3rd gear and let the boost rearrange your insides when rolling it out to redline 😍
I really enjoyed that. Loved hearing from the engineer. So much thought and planning went into that car, but an owner can still make it very much their own.
The 911 is a timeless masterpiece ❤
🔥❤️
@@MrFunDinowell true.
old one yeah. These new ones are unreliable junk
@@bigduphusaj162heh unreliable 😂 one of the most reliable and well built cars out there
@@hassyg4083 fall apart 😂 and the engine thing is a massive money making scheme it’s so u get ur repairs done by porsche
This car is amazing, this whole video is just a gem! Loved the red gt3 touring too, it’s just sad to think that this era of naturally aspirated engines and manual gearboxes is coming to an end
Your best video, period! Thanks Mat!
Top quality video, love to see it! The whole vibe is just great, and i can't say how much i appreciate that Matt doesnt interrupt Andreas Preuninger. A lot of car journalists would've.
Love they used the ST name for this. The original ST is arguably one of the greatest and rarest classic 911’s.
Seeing that such a masterpiece of a car has been tested on the twisty mountain roads where I learned how to drive has given me goosebumps! That’s really the best choice considering how uneven the road surface is to test the great car stability and performance! Matt is by far the most involving car journalist!
Such a great video, nice to see such passion about the car from both sides.
Thanks team 👍
5 mins in and this new format brings a smile to my face! Cheers mates! keep it up.
All I can say, this thing is BEAUTIFUL! As much as I like all the RS models, they look a bit "racer boy" for my aging taste in cars. This thing is breath taking. Having it a manual is where its at when you want to ENJOY your drive, winning races and having fun are two different things...
look at the pure excitement and joy the car is giving these guys. so wholesome to watch. it’s doing what a car should do and that is bringing happiness to the driver.
I think this is the best review Matts done, absolute loved it, Reminds me of the one Joe did with the main man from Alpina.
Finally a simple looking 911 with manual and oh God grace, speed, momentum amd looks to die for. Superb content.
combination off matt present, andreas happiness feels when he explaining this lovely car, and the car itself, really made me fall in love more with porsche as a brand and the people who loves it truly.
it is indeed car brand for true petrol head, precision to the heart.
wow congrats porsche team and thank you matt and carwow team to present it the best, God bless you all
Agree. The Porsche 911 S/T is an eternal masterpiece.
sales
Oh mat i think you may have bought the wrong one! This looks stunning
This car is one of the most beautifully designed 911s Porsche has ever come up with. amazing videos keep it up
Absolutely gorgeous video and amazing car nice weather they shot in
Looks and sounds wonderful. Love the detailed insight from Mr Andreas GT! My only problem is that it renders the Touring a bit irrelevant and will wreck its values. I'm not sure there's space in the lineup for both the Touring and the S/T
I have been rocking those wheels in NFS on almost all my cars. It looks soo good
Me too. I also ever use an Italdesign CZ3 occasionally in NFS II.
@@purwantiallan5089 they are also lovely but nothing beast these wheels it's just ufffffff
Excellent video! Truly enjoyed the walk-though of the MENTAL specifications of this beautiful 911 GTS. Just lovely!
This is one of the best reviews you have ever made! Thank you sir!
Wow. Matt's interviewing an engineer without being so cocky. This time he's letting the other guy speak. Our little Matty's growing up y'all😭😭😭
The 911 S/T have around 590bhp imo.
@@purwantiallan5089 the website stated it has 525PS which equal 518HP, so pretty far from 590
Andreas Preuninger is a legend, not somebody to be cocky with. It's respect.
its slower than z06
I think hes changed his attitude towards them after making that t33 spider video with gordon murray
My daughter of 7 years started to tell me off for every day I don't watch Carwow! I wish i'd have made this up, but no. Every day, sometimes few times a day: "Daddy, why aren't you watching Carwow?" I guess you made a young fan 😁
Terrific review - great sense of what this car can do especially compared to the other current 911s. And for a head of a major car department Mr Preuninger talks with great knowledge and enthusiasm.
all the best bits, and a 6 speed manual.....love it!
GT3 sounds soo good🥶
Yeap 👍
Damn. I want one
This just looks like Porsche/engineering heaven here. Every question has a beautifully detailed answer, all put in the context of how every part will help the driving experience. Really fantastic to see this - it's that passion and appreciation which is totally contagious. Great video. And well done Porsche - you've got the premium people needed to really match the engineering - good job.
First time that I have seen Matt being so quiet in a car video presentation, listening so intensely, to all the details being given from Herr Preuninger. Proper fan boy !Amazing knowledge, and passion. If you can love your job this much, you will never have to work a day in your life.
Whish I have been there too actually.
The S/T reminds me of the 993 RS. They're one in the same
or the 911R it's the same kind of car just less expensive.
Mat not being nice to Louis - instant karma. Entire talk session Mat just wanting to find out if he messed up by buying GT3RS😂
He deserved that. it is getting too much, and I suspect that what he did there towards Louis, is how he actually is.
Mat, best and most exciting review of 911ST ever. I really enjoyed it.
Andreas is a great and relaxed guy. I could listen him for hours speaking Porsche.
Hey Mat,
would you prefer the S/T over your GT3 RS ❔🤔
Love from Berlin 🇩🇪
Ramsi 🙋🏻♂️
Depends on the mission you have for the car. Both can be considered best in the world.
@@ghostridertom Sure ❣️👍🏼
But I want to know, which he prefers 😅
I would choose the S/T ❕
I think it's hard to get one... but for me it's the perfect 911 😊
And with the S/T you can have a lot of fun on the race track too, I think.
Sad, that the most S/T will stay in collecter garages and not will use.
What I love is the fact that Matt drives so many uber fast EVs but I've never seen him so excited or enthusistic about a car than he is about this manual, ICE powered 911.
Although ill never get the chance to buy one of these, i still appreciate the level of detail the interview goes to. Amazing stuff. This is what dream cars are made of.
This is my favorite car out of all cars i've seen. Thanks for the great review!
Love these driver's cars they've put out, this and the Sports Classic...but I'd get the livery delete option on both
drivers cars? 😂 electric steering and full of aids hahaha yeah mate proper drivers car that. New Porsches feel muted handling
@@bigduphusaj162 it's a 2023 car, of course it has aids. It's pretty obvious it won't be the same as is was 20-30 years ago, but in the 2023 lineup these are the driver's cars
Yeh I would go the black and silver interior and white exterior Edith livery delete
@@fjls69 Haha, if you refer to cars from the 70s-80s, that'd be 40-50 years ago. ;)
@@everpuremusic I'm not, we don't have to go that far back
I felt the pleasure of driving it through the video, fantastic car!
Undoubtedly bro.
Very good review 👍 thanks 🙏
I can tell this gentleman love his job and he is very knowledgeable and very different from other ppl that talk about cars and Matt great
Mat: And the exhaust...is that
Andreas: Let's talk about the grill.
Mat: ...sorry...
Never interrupt the flow of the marketing pitch!! 😂
Well they never lose their touch isnt it?
After 23 years, the Honda S2000 manual gear is still the reference. Wow
I continue to live vicariously through Mat Watson... so cool to be able to drive and compare these amazing machines.
Amazing video!!!
A 911 is a fantasy on earth car. Hard to not love ❤
🔥❤️
What a car 😮 ( that's what I call a machine but after BMW 💪)
Lol
Lovely car ! I can already feel how it drives just by looking at you Matt
A story to tell. Got in the Porsche, rest is adventure. Lovely vid!
crazy that the s/t costs more than the gt3 rs
Yeah cause it's a classic design with the GT3 RS performance (same engine same body parts)...it's manual it's the car that approaches track maniacs and classic drivers...you can't go on rough roads with the GT3 RS and you can't go to track with a basic 911 (comparing results)..best of both worlds plus its a 60yo anniversary car...they always cost more
carbon fiber does it
You the best ,mat Watson you make my day by your videos even Mr Beast doesn't reach this level of experience . Love from south Africa 🇿🇦❤💯❤️
Awesome car and video Mat.
Finally the review of the car by the legend.. what took so long for the review.😄😄
Will this break the £500k barrier as a ‘used ‘ example at dealers?
Marked up 300% by the dealers so none of the actual fans can buy it only flippers like Manny Koshbin.
I'd have that over the GTS or the GT3 all day
Wdym it is a gt3? 😂
Mat is so watchable i love seeing reviews from you sir
1. That interview was very interesting and entertaining.
2. People argue about BMW M this and BMW M that, but ultimately Porsche is the one you want to have.
I miss the old, tuned car races with hot hatches 😢
Same dude, same...
On carwow?
@@vladislavdimitrov4646 Yes.
Then go to the Civic forum.
Now that the tested ST is damaged goods and basically a write off, i'll be happy to take it off Porsche's hands...
Really enjoyed listening to Andreas talking about this car and the reasons for the decisions they made designing it. Great stuff!
(Did Matt buy the wrong car? Assuming he could have got his hands on one of these ....) And interesting conversation between the two as well - Matt was really into it too :)
Best review for the best car ever built 😍🔥 thanx you mat and a salute to the engineer 🫡
Nice car this will go up in value in no time...
But I'd rather the more hard-core,agile and aggressive looking GT3rs
S/T is so good, you have to watch it twice
Nice review Matt!!
every time i see andreas preninger talk i can see his inner child come out in the best way possible, you can see how passionate he is, how much he loves this, it gets him fired up, makes him smile, makes him happy and i admire that and love that. he is creative and loves and gets joy out of what he does, thats awesome!!!
