Ferrari vs Porsche 911 | Top Gear 

Yeah, because the car is souless.

@@andreazonin Last time a Porsche had a soul it killed someone *cough* Carrera GT *cough* And if you think modern Porsches don't have souls you haven't seen the 911 GT3 RS yet then.

@@mariinito1793 Ok, 2 models in 20 years...

@@andreazonin Ahh no problem. At least we reached an agreement and put a stop to your tomfoolery

Like when Jeremy had brought an MX-5 to the Middle East in that special his synopsis was that because everything went perfectly with the car, nothing surprised him and the Mazda was bland for him.

tiptron or manual?

TheEliminator Yup. And the handling is jaw dropping too. I had a 993/4 which just cornered with an insane amount of grip. I would imagine that the 997 is no different.

Imagine the 991 turbo s, that does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds

@@mha2263 imagine 992 turbo s

@@shalansharma443 why should it be frightening @ 2000 RPM lol Torque != Acceleration

And how is it then?

My dads looking at buying one, as all other Porsches are going for mental money. My guess is the 997 turbo will be next ☺️ not that it would ever get sold

+Charlie Moy It's the last Mezger engine Turbo so I think you may be right.

+SenszR And now they've got rid of the manual, even more so.

God that's depressing

I like American, but a Porsche is a different level. Even the base carrera

Porsche is in a league of it's own

You cant go wrong with Porsche it wont be your first and you will appreciate its refined and tank like build. For me its Acura NSX or Any Acura product , Lexus LFA or the Porsche 911 You cant go wrong you simply cant.

Yep

Its actually bland, you're just a hype man 😂

That pales in comparison to "You'd have to have quite thin children, but then again, that's liekly not a problem because you've got a thin wife... because you have a 911."

@@bhanuka_18idk if we’ll ever get an answer 😂

That's not how it works. You get a new, young, slim wife, with the Porsche but have to pay to divorce the old, fat wife!

Noooooo, he has logic! HELP, RU-vid LOGIC SCARES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bo McGillacutty if you buy a Porsche you probably will get a slim girlfriend whom you will have to make your wife

cchujnickSpam2 I'm happy with my BMW and random hook ups frankly. hahaha

anonymous anon I guess it brings the kid out of me, that's not always a bad thing. :-)

QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP

Your definition. Likely you haven't played at that level. I worked on them for 6 months, 993 era, and quit because they were so clinical and boring, as in lack of character. I'll take Italian thanks, with all their problems.

Mark Mark sure. ill take german cars and italian eomen rather.

I don't know much about the 911 marque of Porsche, i only know that's it's been successful in nearly every race event it's been given

@@markmark5269 another youtube commenter living in fantasy land

🤯

It is THE best....

Nearly as good as a Tesla S, Plaid, which is quicker & cheaper

I consider it the most reliable sport car

@@guringai tesla s and plaid don't dome close to turbo s

@@carsage8836 The Plaid will beat any Porsche with the wife & the kids waving at the Porsche driver out the back window.

OMG Ur comment 13 years old Now

German sensibility vs Italian passion.

KPaccountt You can't say Germans aren't passionate. You can't build cars like the 911 turbo without passion.

Mark Scott There is no passion in german engineering.

John Lawry They couldn't do what they do without passion. Practically impossible.

John Lawry They do have passion, but it's on a different approach. Their passionate on perfection and engineering. Italians are more passionate about the design and the sensation of driving.

A painting is not a semifunctional vehicle. Because it isn't even a vehicle. You're right, though.

appelpower1 it is a vehicle for human expression...lol

SmD71nG I never thought of that, actually...

Admiral_Awesome Even the Carrera (2009) model is about 35£ with low mileage !

Joshua Conyers can you find me one then? Link it here

+Admiral_Awesome Because they are still pretty good cars.

Stryke not saying they aren't, just expected depreciation to have taken more out the value haha

Admiral_Awesome No, Porsches do have quite a good value. Everyone would like to have them, and of course it helps that they are probably the most reliable sports cars you could find.

funny but also true

Agreed.

down the hill

+Bradley Whalley They are coming back

+Bradley Whalley The new Amazon show will be along soon, be patient, BW.

Bradley Whalley Porsche = ok car

Nissan GTR kills it.

Jonny Walker nah

I'd have to say the the GTR is the best bang for buck, performance-wise. But it is just not fun. Porsches are the most fun to drive though, bang for buck, I agree. Of course, owning a supercar is about prestige as much as anything else. I'd rather have a Ferrari.

Brennan Wallman its still a nissan though, and thats embarissing. Porsche oozes speed and class the gtr is just a fast car nothing else just a fast micra.

***** I have only driven one Ferrari in 1972, a 246GT. Great car. I drove a GTR a couple of years ago and loved it, but it is no Porsche. I bought my first Porsche in 1973, and I currently own a 13 year old 911-996.

Brennan Wallman Vette > GTR in terms of best bang. Vette's our 30K cheaper for a Z06. Performance is close too, not quite as good, but close if you know how to drive.

***** I agree with your argument that the Vette is the best bang for your buck. It has just about everything that Ferrari has with a price tag less than half the cost of the F-Car IMHO

Please tell me that is your real name

TheKniperlight no, he won't. He'll become the next multi billionaire.

+Kei ofcourse :)

maybe german cars do. american cars are the crapy polutants

Blake Belladonna there maybe, perhaps, some exaggeration, but what he actually said was true. In certain Porsche models the air coming out of the exhaust is actually less toxic than the air going in when driving in very polluted cities. The reason for this, is purely down to the way that Porsche compresses and combusts the fuel air mixture. It's the same in the 918.

Juan Campo I think you're missing the point here: an actual car is supposed to pollute the air this is one of the things that separate cars from Teslas

@@camjua00 is that why VW got slapped so hard for lying on em8ssions tests?

You can't look good in a Panamera. It's hideous.

+The Star of China Panamera is Boss. China is suck.

+betterbeavailable such english, very wow

garyhope2 have you won the lottery yet?

Ill take it!

+James Mark II After 2 x 911's I am back in a Cayman S - Best drivers car period.

+MagicAyrtonforever Excellent !

Until you drive a Cayman R

Slowpoke Driven one, uncomfortable bucket seats, no aircon and no cd player.. Nice!

I have an 06 Cayman S with a 3.8. It's about 80-90hp over the stock 3.4 that was originally in the car. and it is a blast to drive. I prefer it over a 911 due to the price. Plus the engine is in the middle. But I do think the new 911 Turbo S is awesome. Not 180k awesome though.

+CountessGardevoir Yeah, but it's only a Ferrari.

+CountessGardevoir like a small ferrari toy which you can just see but cant drive. :)

A hat and key ring maker

Yep. As much use as a door stop

@@stankfanger1366 And the Porsche is just a glorified Beetle with colorless sounds.

Yes, but not the Turbo S.

Great analogy. I’d still pick the Ferrari tho lol

@@Serpent947 I'll take the girl next door. Give me the Porsche.

40.000 and you get a 997 4S

+The Star of China even the challenge stradale?

The Star of China clarkson was taking the piss,he loved the 430before the 458 came out,but because James may bought a 430 clarkson had to laugh at him for buying it because the 458 is better but cclarkson does like the 430

The Star of China Porsche fan here, Clarkson says so either because he's trying to be an asshole or because he's plane stupid hence why he got kicked outta Top Gear and you say so just to repeat after him because you have no opinion of your own If I had to choose between a 458 and a 430 I would probably go for an F430

dazzaburger true dat

dazzaburger Eh everyone gets older what can you do

+Bo Huggabee You're a strange, strange man.

+MrJc9600 - Meh, they're more reliable, more practical and much less flashy. In general, I don't think they attract as much unwanted attention as a Ferrari. But you're right in some sense, I would be uneasy leaving it parked when visiting a restaurant, or a mall.

+OMGWTFLOL I'm not too sure to be honest. I tend to think that at least where I live, people will give more respect to a Ferrari. Almost every body loves and admires a Ferrari, while there are still a lot of idiots out there who think of Porsche's as "an overpriced VW beetle" - and for that reason a lot of people don't respect Porsche drivers I think the way they would respect a Ferrari driver. But either way, I think ANYBODY who owns a prestige brand of car (even if it is just an Audi / Mercedes / Jaguar / BMW) is going to draw the attention of deuchebags. I definately don't think Porsche owners would be spared from that.

***** I assume you live in Europe or in the US? If so you are very lucky. Here in Oz you would be looking at a minimum $50k or so for an average, high km 2008 911. Sadly we get killed on import tax and luxury car tax here, so we pay stupid prices for euro cars. For example, you'll struggle to find a decent Gen 5 Golf GTi here for $10,000. They are around $45,000 new., with a Golf R being closer to $60k.

Chuck Steak yup

Mine now has 180.000km on the dial. Works like a charm! Only problems I had were loose endpipes (just screwed them on again), broken O2 sensor and the well known weakness of rusty shock absorbers. Other than that only the usual little things happened. Very realiable car! Just look into the driver profile of the last owner. If they get thrashed around a lot they tend to have more problems.

Trent Hamilton A lot of it is probably his TV persona, they all joke about the cars they "hate" But in reality though it may not be his favorite, I highly doubt you can hate amazingly cars like this! Though you could have a car you prefer.

I own a vintage 1983 Porsche 911 SC, simply amazing

+Trent Hamilton Agreed. Especially if you want to actually drive the car.

Because they make a mid-engine car which is a superior platform intentionally sit under their rear-engine relic?

Maqsud Rezwan because he's stupid

I believe that's just a persona he puts on during filming. People say he's a hugely different person off-camera.

So supercars are slower than sports cars?

Lol yes in this case

Lol in this case yes

Drive a GT3 and tell me its not a supercar.

I like these petrolhead discussions despite they are often between people who never drove the cars. Actually I drove the new TT in Germany recently and I was seriously surprised, it is a proper driver's car, not a hardcore one but one. A lot of people would disagree despite they haven't driven one. Makes it a bit pointless.

Because british people hates germany

He loves audi though

Wesley Delneste He used to love Audi's. Now he loves BMW and Mercedes. He respects Porsche more than ever but still mocks the 911 for the styling reminiscent of a Beetle.

Márcio Azevedo Not true:-)

Márcio Azevedo They don't hate Germans, i think they just have a lot of pride in British engineering.
