Watched every 911 Turbo S video you put out, and Ive got to say it’s the best on the platform. One hell of a car, and one amazing channel. Congrats on getting more and more expensive and special cars! You deserve it and always make the reviews of them top notch.

If I spent that kind of money though, I’d like people to know. The turbo s is a car that I just look over in public. A GT3 has a wing and is more flashy. I’d either want that or a supercar. A Ferrari would be awesome. Maybe a 720s(even though it’s much more expensive)

@@Stevie4171 70% of the population looks past most normal looking 911’s. I saw a carrera GTS the other day and took a picture, but I’m a car dude. Most people generalize Porsche as expensive but, ehh. A supercar is a looker. It grabs everyone’s eyes. A Porsche looks similar enough when they’re a 60k used one to a 300k turbo s. Plus you can buy Porsches for dead cheap, you can’t buy a McLaren for cheap.

@@Dyltheboy That's the thing with Turbo's. They are incredibly discreet, and only those in the know would know. The buyers don't want to peacock. That being said, a turbo S blacked out or in carmine red or gentian blue will DEFINITELY catch people's eye. At the end of the day, it's an incredible feat of engineering and one of the best cars on the market. Reliable, amazing driving experience, and understatedness. Yes it's not as catchy as Mclarens or Ferraris, but buyers who wanted that extra flash would get the GT3 as you said.
This is one of the best povs I’ve ever seen for a porsche 911 turbo s, I’m surprised at how much this video can convey the feel of driving the 911, i can tell it’s planted and you are in control at all times, and the speed is unbelievable, as a Porsche enthusiast, you have earned yourself a sub, keep making more amazing content.
Amazing. Best review yet on this incredible car. No fancy edits, no fancy music, no unnecessary babble, just straight to the point and done. Keep it up.
It's not a car, It's an art, a masterpiece
You have nailed it in presentation, no one comes close, to alowing one self( the viewer) to be immersed in the actual cabin, putting on the music during the night drive was perfect, no one I know has ever done that, you are heading on the right direction don’t change, I’m daz from australia
I've watched this video 7-8 times in the last 24 hours all the way thru. Great video, really gives you the feel of the driving the car as close as you possibly can. Great work, can't wait to get mine 🤙
Simply the best reviewer, full stop, now I have to watch it all over again magic
Amazing machine and even better looking at night which didn't think was possible - thank you for doing this POV and will definitely be re-watching at some point...... until I can afford my own!
I loved the way that you put it "pucker factor". It has always been fun for me to see a passenger's hand grab the door handle with just a little tap of the throttle. And I've never even had the opportunity to drive a 911 turbo let alone a turbo S. 😏
I'd take this bad boy over any tesla.

Teslas cheapo junk, anyone car build an electric car now. Tesla won’t even be around in 5 years now that BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes and others are starting to make better EV cars and doing it better in every way.
The interior chime upon start up is just super satisfying. My dream car. I may or may not build & price one at least once a week lol.
I love how subtle this car is. It’s a monster in sheep’s clothing which is just perfect.
Great Video, I’ve been watching a few lately about this 992 but this video sold me on the Turbo S. You can feel the torque from watching this and those tight curves too. I have that Burmester in my CLS, amazing sound system. I can’t wait to get a hold of one of these 911s.
Incredible car, I love everything about it including the paint/interior spec. Having said that, if I were in the market and the 911 turbo S were too much of a financial stretch, I think the Cayman GTS 4.0 would give about 90% of the driving enjoyment..with lower cost of entry, ownership and better long term reliability with a naturally aspirated boxer engine. But if the Turbo S were in reach, it would be really hard not to stretch. I really love these things much more than Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, or anything else with the "supercar" look. The 911 is subtle, but real car nerds know what it's all about.

Cayman GTS is much more attractive for me. It’s lighter, probably more enjoyable on a daily basis, not too powerful like this car and the big bonus: it comes with a manual gearbox. Honestly I would choose it every day over the 911 Turbo even if they were at the same price.

I always thought of the 911 as a small car but I saw a yellow 911 Turbo in some parking lot at a mall and I was surprised at how big and wide it was
The 911 Turbo S is my dream car, can't wait to get one of these one day.

Ah yes - the car that started it all for me. A cool neighbor let me sit in his 996 (just a C4S, though) when I was like 5 years old and the rest is history! Love how Porsche knows exactly what the 911 is and evolves it so carefully to stay true to that mission, even if that means going against the grain of the rest of the market. The kinda approach that keeps me coming back to it even 15 years after that first encounter. Just the fact that you can still get a manual on the S versions in 2021 is something to celebrate. That’d be my personal choice in the 911 lineup, but these Turbos are wicked, for sure.

The 911’s are whales 🐳 too big now with too many electronics. Get a Porsche Cayman GTS it’s the real Porsche ethos.
Another great car and video! Keep up the good work.
When I was a kid, I grew up not having anything, we couldn't afford it. We had just moved to the country. My parents wanted the best for me so they put me in a middle and high school that were highly rated but happened to be in an affluent community. My dad was driving me to school one day in our 1989 toyota corolla (this was in the early 2000s, so an old car already), and whizzing by was this black porsche turbo (993 or 996, can't remember). I saw the spoiler go up as he braked on the downhill and I was just amazed and saying wow and making all these noises as a 10/11 year old would do. I think my dad felt a little bit disappointed that he couldn't provide that for me, not that I was expecting him to, but he just turns to me and says "one day you'll own that car". The only ever material thing I ever wanted was this, just so I could have my dad with me and we could whizz along.
Excellent, the best channel for this kind of stuff!
Ive seen One 992 turbo s, i was in complete shock, snapped a picture of it and solidifies my want for this car😫
The new Porsche chime has such a Lofi sound to it.
The car is amazing. And I'd love to listen to that Burmester system in real life
owning a 911 is a life goal
My man flooring it with the gas light on
Hey Topher is there any way you could try and get a 2015-2019 Subaru Outback 3.6R? The only video like it is the 2.5i but there aren’t many videos with good quality like yours and winding road magazine!
Hands down the best car reviewer out there
I would love for you to drive the new macan. Porsche has been on a role lately
I've been playing around on the configurator and I will buy one soon. So you rate the upgraded sound option is worth while I was in 2 minds
Amazing video as always but.... am I the only one that notices the other Porsche nearly rear end @TheTopher around 4:10?
I like the sound system tests at night keep it up
Thanks I'm sold. Buying one today, I was going to wait for the ZR1, but I'm really turned off with the price gouging GM is allowing.
Love ur reviews, my dream car
Hey man, after driving this master piece in the city for quite a while, does this car get attention? Like when you go in the city or highways do you see people reacting to the car and being impressed by it. And in comparison with a Ferrari for example, does it get the same attention, more or less? Thank you!
Hey Topher, What do you think about the Genisis Gv70 what do you think about it?

If money can buy happiness, this 911 turbo s sure is.

Excellent video.
this car will be good for all time
