The Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweight is the First 9-Second Factory 911! - One Take 

No Porsche will ever be faster than me skipping your sponsored segment!

So it’s as fast as a plaid, doesn’t have a fisher price interior and can actually handle and brake.

Go Porsche! Turbo S is my eventual goal, always has been. Can't wait

As a factory tech I can say I don’t see these in the shop for many big issues. Our sports cars are actually our most reliable platforms because we control the R&D on them from start to finish, and know people intend on keeping them for a long time. I actually prefer the feel of the 991.2 better but haven’t driven the lightweight package 992 yet.

10 dB is a lot more than double the sound, sound energy doubles every 3 dB so 10dB louder is more than 8 times the sound energy in the cabin. That's huge, that's the difference between an S class and a WRX.

I am intrigued. But, I think the GT3 Touring is still the one for me.

So an ICE with 640hp is quicker to 30mph off the line than a 1000+hp EV? That's insane.

I don't think its important in the first place to state that this car is quicker than the Tesla Model S whatever. Can't compare a Tesla to something special like a 911.

9 seconds. That's insane. Up there with sportbikes. Stock.

For the price i'd pick the Vette Z06 with some money left....but gotta admit, these Porsches got untouchable engineering. Scary close to perfection.

Shrek wearing cool sunglasses, gotta love it...

Lightweight package is cool lol I would prob save my money and get a gts with lightweight but this car is wild

I really appreciate his comments at about 10:40. The description of the usual choice you have to make vs. what this care allows. Love it!

-9:26 This is something my 2014 turbo S did not do. It will stay in the gear that you put it in better than almost any other double clutch car on the market. But ultimately mine overrides your wishes. Not the new one apparently. Impressive. Unfortunately for Porsche this car is still not enough to make me trade my car in. Because the 991 on cars look and are so damn good. 99% of the people on the street have no idea that it’s a eight year old car. The performance envelope is right there. It’s within 10% of the performance specifications of the new car. My 202mph 2014 is PLENTY BATSHIT, OK! And I like having a car that kind of grows old on me I don’t put a lot of mileage on it it’s got a really cool color combo. In a disposable world why dispose of it.? It’s my old friend I love it. But I also love seeing with the latest and greatest is on the new ones just to check in. Always very interesting and very impressive. The price of the new ones is ridiculous. People just need to calm down and get out of the dealer markup price hikes and quit overpaying. $300k is too much for this car. I paid half that for mine with 9k miles it’s been a good place to keep money with no depreciation, it has the Burmeister Audio and other options I never would have checked myself ($5k say what!) and was a $220k new car. I’ve had two C4S Cabs and nothing wrong with those cars AT ALL so if ya need a new or nearly new car and don’t feel like playing the $300k game I fully say good move on your part! You’ll love whatever Porsche you get, trust me. Porsche is unique that way. They are all good and it takes a decade before you or anyone will notice it’s not new. And other than the 996 they all keep or go up in value anyway!

Imagine throwing some Cup2Rs on this! I'm sure some track records would fall

Great review Matt. Note however, that a 10 dB increase in SPL equals a tenfold increase in sound level, not twice as loud as you stated. That's a very big increase in cabin noise for a 0.2 of a second party trick (with no change in 0-60 time), and an owner ought really think about how they intend to use the car before signing up for that. As a 991.2 Turbo owner, I'll offer that Porsche has other 911s in the stable for track mongers and if like me and many others, the goal is that magical blend of both performance and refinement that equates to strafing back roads in the afternoon and going out to a nice restaurant in the evening, or going on longer road trips, then as silly as it sounds, maybe the money is better spent on the PTS option rather than making the car fatiguing and less liveable. Personally, I'm happy with the 18-way, heated and cooled, full leather seats. To each one's own certainly, but for the money spent, I expect few owners would even notice any difference in performance, but would notice a big difference in comfort. I'm thinking Forest Green metallic or Ocean Blue metallic instead ;)

Matt's thumbnail game just keeps getting stronger! Thanks for the content!

You rarely mention any tickets outside of making sure people fight them (which is great advice). This whole time I just thought you were the luckiest guy alive driving these cars all of the time! I guess that's still true haha. Thanks for the great content!

2.1. Damn, that's faster than most EVs

One day, i will be able to afford a 911 Turbo. One day.

I think I would honestly take this over a GT3 only because it's easier to live with and exploit, especially if I only had one or two cars.

Still waiting for you to even drive the MS Plaid and give us your impressions so why are you comparing it to a purpose built two door sports car that costs 50% more than the Plaid ?

Best car in the world, nothing can touch it.

Great car. Don't need the rear seats but I suspect the comfier seats et al of the standard Turbo S would do me nicely...

Haha, I love how Matt is now doing the "RU-vidr face" in the thumbnail. Can't argue with the analytics, even if it's a bit embarrassing! 🤣

Porsche literally engineers all of their models to perfection for their intended purpose and nobody else even comes close. Pick any Porsche and try to find an objective fault that another manufacturer does better. You can’t. The only subjective fault I could think of is Porsche’s can be a little too serious or teutonic.

Congratulations Porsche you make phenomenal cars and this is just a continuation of that tradition.

$10,000 for 80 pounds… I prefer to do this with $10K: - Headers/Cat/Exhaust - Tune - 700-720whp (stock is about 580whp) The exhaust work nets about 30+ pounds worth of weight savings. Delete the rear seat yourself and that nets another what 10-15 pounds? M Engineering is claiming their tune with mods nets 720whp. That’s amazing.

I’d probably skip the LW package to retain the backseat. It’s not the most usable space, but good to have if needed.

I didn’t see Matt’s comparison of this vs a 4S or 4GTS. Does the same extra power meaningfully change the experience?

Matt looks like an IKEA shopping bag

Matt looks like a crossing guard with those yellow seatbelts

After the new world order takes over, Porsche should be the only Auto maker. Their quality and precision are unmatched.

One of the greatest car of all times.No electric car will ever come close to this in therms of feeling.

Great video. Whatever it is about this clip, but I can't unhear Penn Jillette. Your voice and laugh sound so similar.

loved the video! lowkey wondering what watch you're wearing?

I'm here, and I must applaud you, Matt Farah. You have really stepped up your RU-vidr face game, like next level bro 👍🏾

If I hit the lottery, this would be the first thing I bought. Hands down.

Matt's thumbnail: 😯 Not hating, I just think the RU-vidr face is hilarious.

What the fuck kind of numbers will this put down with the entire spectrum of bolt on mods & tuning? Like ECU, downpipes, midpipes, straight piped exhaust, methane injection, ice box, larger turbos, upgraded camshafts, running race gas with race gas tune, upgraded transmission, etc.? probably would then be over 1000HP? what kind of numbers? Its been said there's 991 era turbo 911's upgraded from the aftermarket with over 1,500 HP so 1000 should be not that hard for the tuners to do with this one...and also what kind of numbers will the upcoming all new GT2 RS Weissach put out?

Unfortunately this insane level of performance is just unusable here in the US. You’ll be in jail if you try to use it. A base 992 is all you need, or get an S if you want a manual. If you want a track car get a GT3. The Turbo S looks good at the country club and cars and coffee but it is overkill.

Dude, you're so nailing these "social media" thumbnails!

I took out the back seats in my 911 and paid my self 5k.

Porsche is always outdoing themselves. No wonder they are the best car manufacturer.

That launch reminded me of your reaction to launching the Chiron

I would normally rip a manufacturer for charging $10K to remove stuff but Porsche is the boss and they can do whatever the hell they want.

Awesome video. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺

Excellent review Matt. I am sure if you really wanted one that you could wait for a used one down the line and snag one at some level of discount.

Wouldn't a nose lifter cancel out the weight savings? I know they're pretty heavy.

Hey Matt, great video!! 3 decibels, is twice as loud... in other words, 53 decibels is twice as loud as 50 decibels!

The thumbnail… Do we have to do oh-face RU-vid thumb nail thing?

Came for the irresistible thumbnail , stayed for the content . Now, do we get Zack pointing and some orange writing next ?

Porsche there is no substitute. my dream car. i take a black on black

1/4 is 9.9 not 9 seconds. So this is a 10 second car

Amazing car. Ruf has a 885 hp powerkit....

NEW FLASH: $200k+++ car is a great car

Which is more fun on canyon roads, the Turbo S lightweight or the GT4RS? Is PDCC worth it or does it make handling seem artificial? Will a 992 GTS with lightweight package be as much fun on canyon roads, but just slower in accelerating?

lightness! listen up! Lotus!

This is a masterpiece that will last a life time. You get what you pay for and even though it is expensive, it is worth every penny.

Porsche does it again!

You need that. Great driving man.

👏 👏 👏 Porsche again charging you more by giving you less stuff. Genius as always.

That banana slick 😎

Pilot Sport Cup 2 would be a better choice in my experience. Not sure why those are good for the GT2RS and GT3RS but not a Turbo S

Matt. If you had the money to buy one supercar, not a fancy garage full of them, would you buy the 2022 Turbo S?

Love your videos.

Is the watch a Grand Seiko? Looks nice Matt!

Bwahahaha you've begrudgingly taken the 'youtube face' and run with it. Damn, I'm gonna have to watch this video instead of 11 million Tik Toks... love your podcast

Matt you need spotters along the test route to keep you safe from tickets.

I’d pay him to say “weeeee” every time.

Great review mate 👍

The brakes are the size of my wheels O.o What a machine!

You get one run at an NHRA event w/o a cage.

Is this the one the model X Plaid beats with six passengers in the quarter mile ?

Hot lava, would be my color choice.

Pretty car

This or the Nsx type s for wild daily that makes you look like a superstar driver in the canyons?

I think we all know by now that Porshce rates their engines for power at the wheels.

Great video.

They run and run and run!!! get me one please!!!

I love the satirical thumbnail.

As a GT4 owner, and a Tesla Y performance owner, there is no comparison. The Tesla is a one trick pony, fast in a straight line, and nothing else. It’s my perfect commuter car, general everyday run around, but it is no where near the Porsche in driving experience. Maybe if Elon really tried, made a two door sports car, with quality interior materials. Even then it’s basically a video game.

Where did you do this drive ! (What road)?

Oh. That. Sound. 🥹🤧

He is a professional so i see nothing bad to be sponsored instead it shows the quality of the channel. 2 nd if you are a cars man you should know by now that turbo s no need any favours lol

This goes 1/4 mile to nines, from the factory?

The looking excited thing is starting to get to me but probably get twice the views

Yes, deLIGHTful indeed!

Which road is the one in this episode

Putting down 80% of advertised power through 4 wheels is outstanding. I am going out on a limb here saying this is putting down more than 512whp.

The camera must be deceiving because that does not look as fast as a Plaid S off the line.

Porsche, no substitute.

Mike Tyson: "It's a Tethla killer!"

Great video 👏👏🙌

Matt is born in '81...Wtf,he looks 61 not 41

if you are into tuning get a regular turbo instead and save 30k. same power with a tune

3566 pounds is "lightweight?" Consider this... in the 60s, a Porsche 904 weighed 1518 pounds. Yeah, less than half. And if you think that's light, in 1966 they came out with the (still street legal) 906, which only weighed 1280 pounds. With an air-cooled, normally aspirated, race tuned flat 6, this gives you a power to weight ratio close to that of this Turbo S "Lightweight," which is in the 6 (pounds to hp) range. The first 917s weighed 1808 pounds with 520hp... a 3.47 pounds to the hp figure...

Can’t even imagine how fast the a new gt2 rs could be

“power and momentum car”

Lmao that PogChamp looking thumbnail
