The fact that Porsche made a modern, safe car that barely weighs 3000lbs is an achievement in and of itself.

*looks at Miata*

@RyanRoadReaper Год назад

@@papa_pt it's not really a fair comparison. Miatas don't have flat 6s

@papa_pt Год назад

@@RyanRoadReaper even if you throw an LS in lol. I'm just been posting this since being shocked to read how little the modern miata weighs. Like 300lbs less than I would've guessed which means they know something other manufacturers don't

@TT92348 Год назад

Yeah everyone blamed safety and regulations for reasons why sports cars supposedly HAD to get bigger and heavier. Then Mazda proved everyone wrong. But weight and driving dynamics don’t sell cars, big numbers do.

Still heavy as fuck, lotus are the last ones making a properly light car, and mazda

The 911R is a hero car for those of us who felt like Porsche was losing touch with what their customers really wanted. I loved it in 2016 and I still love it now. Great job, Tedward!

@keynesianeconomics4113 Год назад

@@AV-sf5xq Modern RS products sans the 997.2 4.0 are relatively common in the sports car arena. The R was very special, not only due to limited numbers, but as stated in the video, by having a manual transmission tied to this engine (as well as the heritage touches harking back to the 1970s with the 2.7 Carrera RS).

The 911R is at/near the top of my list of unattainable dream cars. That black and white interior is so beautiful too! The green backlit gauges are a nice touch. The sound of that engine would never get old. I’m so glad you got to feature such an amazing vehicle on your channel.

I will be 100% completely honest with you. I never even knew that there was 911R. Never seen one, never heard of one. Great story and explanation, thank you for that!

@pascutia Год назад

I remember when Jason did an ignition episode on this car. Probably watched it 5x within a few days😂. Absolutely awesome car! Nice to know that this car showed the auto industry that there’s still interest in a manual sports car.

me too, the reason why i fell in love with the car. Shout out to motor trend back in those days, head 2 head and ignition!

@shr00m7 Год назад

It's wild, that at the time when the R launched and those prices were through the roof, a CGT could be had for the same or less than a 911 R.

@TedwardDrives Год назад

Excellent point!

@spongeborgtheford4971 Год назад

Would anyone really take a 911 R over a CGT?

@sterlingsilver320 Год назад

Glad you finally got to film one of these. A landmark car that changed the Porsche landscape and, I think, the enthusiast car market as a whole. I genuinely think that if the 911 R never happened, we would never have seen a manual Supra, or a CT5 V Blackwing manual, or even Gordon Murray’s cars. It was that big of a deal. It told all manufacturers we still cared about manuals and would put our money where our mouth is.

@coredaqqer6197 Год назад

Lol, I don't think that's entirely true. All of those cars you named are one of two things, sitting on a shared platform, or bespoke to the point where 300 models of the car won't effect much in terms of market outlook. that being said, its very possible this car was responsible for the uptick for sure.

@niceboi6364 Год назад

Nah, if there's a manual Supra it's because Nissan announced that the last Z would be offered in manual transmission and Toyota didn't want to lose customers to Nissan.

@Justin_GFM 8 месяцев назад

The early CTS V generations with the LS6, LS2, and LSA already had manual options and the ATS V had a manual option as of 2016 and onwards too, I don’t think the 911R is what finally inspired Cadillac to make that option available for the CT5 V Blackwing

@blackjacket_ Год назад

An interesting fact, redline was limited because of transmission. They were not able to develop one at the time 9k. This was said on TST podcast with the head of GT department.

@puttitat2851 Год назад

Came here to write this. Something with the transmission simply not being up to the task.

@AhsanU Год назад

RS engines were redline limited because Porsche thought the finger follower issue that plagued the normal 991.1 GT3 was due to excessive wear 'n tear at higher RPM, so they limited the GT3RS and the R. This wasn't exactly true but it is the reason why they limited it, not because of powerband/torque reasons. They redesigned certain internals which is why the 991.2 revs to 9k and commands a significant premium over the 991.1, not just because of the 6MT vs. PDK.

@garage3022 Год назад

It has a lower rev limit because of the increased crankshaft stroke. The .1 RS has a solid lifter valvetrain which is different than the 3.8

@feelsgoodman245 Год назад

@@garage3022 .1 RS had engine issues as well though with many requiring engine replacements just like the .1 GT3. Wasn't properly fixed until .2 GT3

That lack of sound deadening is AMAZING! I can listen to the engine soo clearly! That + the lightness + a manual + that MA1.75 engine is what makes this my favorite 911 ever.

@sabby123456789 Год назад

For side mirrors, I watch people saying to adjust them so they point outward. But then how would you see the cars behind you on the lanes next to yours? I get that you can use the rear view mirror, but oftentimes, the car in the rear blocks you view of the cars on approaching on the lanes on both sides.

@briankorner750 Год назад

@_Suzuka_Joe 7 месяцев назад

they limited the RPM's on these because Porsche assumed the finger follower issue was an issue due to high RPM so they limited these below 8500. They redesigned the engine for the 991.2 GT3 so that it could rev out to 9k
