Dude, I stumbled upon your very first video by accident the other day and even from that, it's clear that you've put a lot of effort into this career path. Your hard work has paid off and I sincerely congratulate you.
Even then the plaid is not 10 out of 10, compared to the rimac nevera which I'm surprised he didn't even mention at the beginning of the video@@Tbland0930
@@Tbland0930what he failed to mention is the plaid is a 10/10 speed but has no luxury. The fit and finish inside a porsche is night and day. Just touching the steering wheel and dash u can feel the quality difference from a tesla. The driving engagement the feedback u get is a 10/10 where a plaid is a 4/10. Speeding in an Tesla is like having sex with earplugs in. Only ur body feels it. (Except for the terrible wind noise in the cabin from poor sound isolation. 😂) Real sports cars hit and fill ur entire senses. It's just so much more thrilling. Not to mention this car TURNS HEADS. No tesla short of the cybertruck can come close to saying that.
@@G82Watts I think you are glossing over the fact that a Porsche is far more expensive than a Tesla. Yes, German quality is always going to be better than something made in America, but if Tesla made a supercar and sold it for a similar price, it would be made a lot nicer than a regular Tesla.
I'm so glad I've been able to watch MKBHD go from filming in his college room to filming in front of his Porsche. He deserves what he has and put in good work to get it.
I guess you think that makes you special or something? Should talk about driving past his old high school in Jersey back in the day on my regular commute as well, because you know that clearly connects me to him.
Puts in the work and doesn't push others down to get there from what I can tell. Classy guy. Well deserved success. I miss the cereal boxes occasionally, tho ;)
All I see is a man, in his 30, realising that owning a sports car is the true dream that all of us men have in common. Congrats Marques! Man you deserve this and more…
just buy an older corvette or honda, or porsche its not that hard you can find alot of older cars under 8 or 5 grand. Just bewilling and ready to work on them
The fact that you’re making that your new benchmark is hilarious because for the past four decades, it has always been the benchmark in the car community that all other cars are judged by😂😂😂 I love that you’re becoming a car guy. Dude, this is amazing. I’m so here for it.😁🙌
Haha, have been looking at a second hand taycan turbo s cross turismo, found a lovely one for £95k, then realised if i want certain things like ventilated seats, 4 zone climate and so on, it's £150k 😂
I work at the Porsche development center in Weissach Germany. Makes me really proud to be seeing my favorite tech youtuber own and drive one of our products 😍 Greetings from Stuttgart
I love that you reviewed (and drive) my literal dream car. Your reviews and perceptive are next level, I’m always 100% focused on your thoughts and what you share compared to other reviewers. Now I’m even more excited to drive this car when it comes in soon 🙌🏽
the fact that you achieved all this by yourself from literally nothing is incredible marques. You should be proud of it and don't overthink it, enjoy life while you can because you deserve it!
@@jojodroid31 If you actually cared about a "climate catastrophic" you would use public transport or riding a bike. An EV, although less polluting than ICE cars, still is very bad for the environment. But sure keep sitting on your high horse.
This is a great choice. Everybody on the youtubes is now buying a GT3 or GT3 RS but this Turbo S is more versatile and less punishing as a daily sports driver. Dare I say sensible choice.
Normally Im not jealous of this channel and the things he reviews but today is the day. Kinda forgot he has #1 tech reviewer money. Btw the glossy stripe 100% does make the car 10x cooler.
Jealousy & envy are human “ qualities “ 😃🤷🏽♂️ Use it to figure out what *you* want & then go 4 it. Meanwhile, thank MKBHD & people like him 4 inspiring you 🙌🏽
Congrats, Marques! The 992 Turbo S is sensational. I work for Porsche, and out of all the cars I have driven, the Turbo S is my favorite for the reasons you mentioned. Great buy! A few things to note, wireless phone chargers are an option and, sadly, are not standard equipment, but they are available when speccing the car. Also, the My Porsche companion app does allow you to pre-climatize the cabin along with the ability to lock/ unlock, viewing TPMS, the trip computer, as you mentioned, and setting speed or valet alarms. The Porsche dealership should have set it up and showed it to you upon delivery. Also, for those that want to order a Porsche and are thinking about the dashcam, I highly recommend that you opt for the dashcam pre-wiring, which saves a lot of time and money. It can be done when you configure your car. The Porsche-branded dashcams are mounted just above the windshield and rear window panels. The Porsche dashcam app allows one to save videos and view a live camera feed, which you may find similar to what Tesla offers. Again, congratulations! Enjoy the car, and we look forward to seeing future videos on it!
@isaac10231 it's incredibly rewarding. You have the opportunity to represent a highly-respected brand and share it with others. Getting to drive some of the best cars ever built along with meeting many wonderful people is pure bliss. It's not always easy, as many people hold you to a high standard due to the brand you are representing. But if you measure up, you'll be reap the benefits. Also, the employee leasing deals are jaw-droppingly good. Porsche takes care of their employees, and they want their employees to drive Porsches. Many of my colleagues do. If you can find a position at the dealership or corporate level, I highly recommend pursuing it.
Hey @zeldafan4567 just an observation, but if MKBHD wasn't able to find a few features on the App, then that app is might be poorly designed? If a tech youtuber isn't able to find the options, then it might also apply to the general public. Might be worth a thought?
@ApuroopS not necessarily. The app is quite intuitive and a great deal of resources have gone into making it easy to use and operate. Previous versions were rather cumbersome, admittedly. I have used the app extensively, and the button to initiate the pre-climitization is on the app's main screen, which is the screen that the app opens to. It's quite easy to use and figure out. Some dealers don't include that as part of the new vehicle orientation. I, personally have had to set up and show customers how to use the app who did not buy their Porsche from my dealership. You'd be surprised as to how many simply gloss over the app.
I've watched a ton of reviews on the turbo S before I bought mine, and this is the best review. Your description that the turbo S is a 9 our of 10 in every category is the best way to describe it. Excellent review.
Strange to see someone coming from a world where have a phone key for a car is the norm. Took me a second to understand what Marques was talking about.
I think it’s just because it’s luxury you kinda feel like it should- like how tesla (just first example on top of my head) you can start and heat car without being anywhere near it, cars that cost triple or more should have these features. If i’m paying 150k+ for a car it kinda seems silly to not have things that a 30k car has- even like wireless charging.
I can’t put into words how proud of you I am Marques. You came into a brand new media scene and carved out a niche, and owned it for the entire time. This is the result of that first HP Pavilion Media Centre video you made. Props brother.
@@aswinbiju4038 people tend to form attachements to others that they never met or know personally just because they saw them on television, once, and today social network. Moreover rich people have always been idolized, often in some kind of "One day I could become rich like them" sort of way... i find it strange and a bit repulsive, but unless it's psychotic they don't hurt anyone so we can let them be.
@@lilietto1 I’m in the same industry as Marques, and have watched him on RUclips ever not long after he started, as that’s when I started to get into the industry myself. I’ve also met him a couple times at events. I’m genuinely proud of seeing his success. He’s not just some TikTok influencer, or some prank RUclipsr. He’s one of the first, and biggest independent tech reviewers, in an industry that was previously only ever possible by joining a media corporation (like I did).
That car is beyond beautiful. If I ever have the money, I'm going to buy one of these. You're right about the contrast between the satin and glossy black; it looks incredible.
Agreed that PCCBs are typically yellow Though at 6:55 those look like PCCBs and I believe PCCBs are standard on the 992 turbo S So I think he just has PCCBs with red calipers 😂
You've put more miles on that car in that short space of time than some gentlemen have put on their Porsches they've owned for a decade plus. I love it.
Naah Turbo S owners drive the shit out of them. You can find a lot of +80k miles used for sale. They don’t hold value like a GT car and their mainly used as daily drivers. The ones who stay in the garage is the GT3’s GT2’s and variants because they appreciate a lot in value so people keep them pristine. Plus they’re not very friendly to daily drive it. It’s a rough ride.
I always feel like it's such a shame when cars are left sitting in a garage somewhere because they're too "expensive" to drive around in. A lot of people spend a lot of time making cars like these and it's somewhat of a disservice to their efforts in my opinion.
I drove a 2018 Porsche Cayman through Turo. As a pretty basic base model car, it was, by far, the best driving experience I've ever had. The car knew what I wanted to do before I did. And, I think, that is the point of a Porsche. It is a drivers car, ready to do whatever you want at any second.
The 911 is an iconic sports car, mostly built for the track. You bought the daily driver version with the max tech and comfort that Porsche does. Now I want one even more 😊
@@Nobodyfashoooo Really? I’ve had 12 Porsches and have gone on to what you would probably consider more exotic brands so I’m comparing with a lot of other performance cars. I honestly can’t say I meet many that say Porsche 911’s are “not that special”. My experience with them is they are phenomenal performers. Why do you own one if you’re not enjoying?
Agreed!! I’ve had all the German performance brands. RS M and AMG cars (several) and just finally got behind the wheel of a 911 GTS. When I can afford the switch I will 😂!!!!!
@@ambersweet6951100%! Consider this - a McLaren 765LT will take out a million dollar Ferrari SF90! But that same 765LT which runs around $600K will be troubled by a 911 Turbo S! When you consider that and fact you can drop the kids off to school in it without a lot of fanfare - that is just bonkers!!!!! I stand by my original comment - they’re a real treat!
@@samn1217 I have a note on it and I made money from buying it but it’s not terrible like it’s a car I do like driving it but I like driving my Range Rover more tbh but yk everybody is different
Congrats on getting your dream car! Seems like you took a lot of time weighing options and researching. Excited to see more content around the Porsche, and definitely will be watching the auction closely.
Having watched Marques since his early days, I beamed through this entire video. Still so proud of his accomplishments but watching his car awakening culminating in this Porsche will keep me beaming for days. Some of us are just drivers. That’s it.
I remember to see 16 year old kid in a tech channel mkbhd, showing some off the self point and shoot camera and stuff like that, now he is showing the brand new porche with custom collor. That is just amazing.
I love that Marques is now a Porsche guy. Great pick. I’ve watched many 911 reviews and I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say it’s a 9/10 at everything and that’s what makes it great. Love that analogy. Great looking and driving car. The dream😍
Incredible Color!! Never have seen anything Close to this............and the fact that you picked it up specked like it is from a Showroom in Boston!!!! borders on a Major miracle
Porsche has done such an incredible job to maintain its racing heritage, design, R&D, engineering, drive train technology, etc. better than almost any other brand. Ferrari is up there also! But I agree. This is a great sports car...I'm envious for sure! Best wishes! Mixing hybrid technology as it advances to this type of vehicle would be incredible. HP / Torque and better MPG's. Win / Win
I agree. Porsche is for me also the only German car maker, who was able to bring that unique feeling of their legacy cars over to the Porsche Taycan. Okay maybe also BMW, but they build their EVs on ther ICE-platform.
Congrats. You've earned this. This video reminds me of when Dough DeMuro got his Carerra GT. And the 911 is, IMO, the overall "best" sports car you can buy. As you said, it's not the best at anything, but overall still "the best." The build quality can not be beat.
I watched this review when it came out, and was like "how can a car be nearly perfect at everything?" Now, I'm lucky enough to have about ~500 miles in one of these, and holy shit is he right. It breaks the laws of physics with how it handles (thanks rear steer & PDCC), the acceleration is nuts, and it's also comfy enough to just take to the store and throw some groceries in the frunk. I also love how it's not an overstated supercar - I really like Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but there's something special about having a car that doesn't attract as much attention as those other cars. To most everyone on the road, it's just a Porsche that looks like every other model they make, but to those who know, they know that it's a supercar with a 2.5 0-60 that goes around certain tracks FASTER than a 992 GT3RS! Marques, you made a fantastic choice of car, and I'm very jealous that you get to daily drive it at a young age. You deserve it.
it's stabilization either applied by the camera/phone itself or applied in something like After Effects in post. sort of looks like 'warp stabilizer' from after effects. i've always hated it
He uses a different phone during each video as a way to test that phones camera. When he releases the review on his main he usually refers back to these videos
My guess is its not an iPhone/pixel, this phone struggled with focusing and when the scene goes from bright to dark it takes a couple seconds to brighten
So gratifying to see a guy who just turned 30 that's able to buy and enjoy a car like this. I always love the common-sense perspective and humility that Marques brings to his reviews, and this is no exception. As far as the car, I NEVER like blacked-out cars or black wheels (I LOVE colors besides black, gray, silver, and white), but I've got to agree that this spec is pretty sick. The shiny stripe down the middle and the glass roof really set it apart in my opinion, and make it awesome. Excited to see an in-depth review of this car from MB sometime in the next year or so, and to see what the Plaid goes for (and smooth move selling it on Cars & Bids!)
He's a multimillionaire who can land interviews with Obama and Musk; he can buy a whole garage of super cars and still have enough money left for a mansion in the Beverly Hills
That's a hell of a car. Had a chance to drive it for a few minutes and I can't agree more that it's the best car in the world. The steering feel is unforgettable. The rear steering is so accurate and unobtrusive. Acceleration is both violent and confidence inspiring. I'd chose more subtle spec but this one is great too. I'm glad Marques got this 911, hoping for a full review.
Hearing that you’re not driving a Tesla anymore sounds crazy. But honestly there isn’t another car that’s better than the Porsche 911 Turbo S. looking forward to the vids you share in it
That means he’s turning into a man lol. Tesla’s are for the techie nerds and he’s starting to realize “huh, so this is why combustion engine cars are the shit” especially a 911
@@zahf6484They understand and appreciate cars, just cars you don't like and they happen to have a preference for. Some people like modded out shit boxes and yet I think they're gross as shit, I'd rather a stock M series or a C63. Same goes for people that like JDMs. They're not for everyone. Some people just prefer EVs and specifically Teslas.
Man, I got to drive a 992 Turbo S on track a few weeks ago and its the most intense thing Ive ever experienced behind the wheel. Great car, and congratulations!
To discover that my man, Marquees, a man that I have known for linking tech and EVs, is actually also a car guy just like me? AWESOME. 🔥 Congratulations on your 911 Turbo S, Marquees! I absolutely love it, and I love how your spec matches your vibe so much ❤️🖤
Totally agree that this is a 9/10 car in all categories...which basically makes it a 10/10 car. And loving the collab with Doug and Cars&Bids!! Good luck with the auction 👍
@@shimeymerih I owned a 2005 911 for about a year. Fun car but I couldn’t have a conversation with the person sitting right next to me. Pretty immature if you ask me
Wow, what a nice first sports car for a guy who just turned 30. I too bought my first Porsche, a 911S, pumpkin orange with black vinyl interior, no AC. Congrats! I hope, unlike so many owners, that you will actually drive the car instead of keeping it garaged and pristine. Porsches are meant to be driven not treated like investments, they aren't rare, not a Lambo or Ferrari.
Your gloss hood stripes really do make the rest of the satin work well. They provide exactly the right amount of contrast to keep it from becoming some amorphous boring thing. A lot of satin or matte finishes just ruin the apparent shape of the car.
This is exactly how I feel about my new MX-5 I just picked up last month! Obviously it's no turbo 911 but the tech is unimpressive, nowhere to put your phone, have to have a key fob, app does nothing, no dashcam, but its just feels SO GOOD to drive. How connected I am with the car and the road is unlike anything I've ever felt before. Could not be more in love with my sports car and glad you are too
@@chm2unfortunately a Porsche doesn’t feel that fast when you go. In my experience 125 mph feels like normally 65 mph and 160 mph feels like 125 mph in any other car
I'll always have a car to row gears in for fun. I also think electrified roadsters are going to be a blast when Miata gets around to it. Road-legal go karts
Congratulations brother! We are the same age and have been following you since we where kids, with that being said, I feel like a proud friend. Enjoy! 🏎️😈
I was a follower in MKBHD's main channel for how long... you turned 30 😲 wooow its been amazing journey, an institutional figure ... Thank you brother ...
Hey Marquis! Happy birthday to you man and congratulations!! I can’t think of anyone else who is more deserving of a birthday gift as this than you. You’ve worked hard, you’ve earned it, and you are an inspiration to an “older“ gearhead such as myself.
The Turbo S is such a beautiful beast. Among the best (if not the best) daily drivable sports cars, so… fantastic choice. It’s a bit of a benchmark when it comes to speed since it’s just *so* good. But, relatively speaking, it’s still so tame and refined. Personally I’m super into the more raw/visceral sports car experience (like what I have now), but if I could, I’d have still that _and_ something refined like the Turbo S.
@@Frankienoname0 It doesn’t compare to a Turbo S in performance, comfort nor refinement per se. But it has a locked down drivetrain (just more direct) via dogbone mount and insert, subframe mount/inserts, stiffer sway bar, lowering springs, wider wheels and etc. It’s already pretty tight but all that makes it even more direct and offers a more rough ride, but that’s what I enjoy. Smaller car that’s a bit more nimble (again, not a Turbo S though)
This is the absolute most "tech" I'd want in a car anyway... IMO the last thing I want to do when I get in a car after a long day of screens is *more* screens. I want a refuge from the world constantly demanding my attention; to hop in and enjoy the process of just going somewhere. Sometimes slowly, sometimes very quickly. Great choice, btw.
That gloss stripes on the matte body are just killing it!! Never seen it like this but loved it instantly! Considering it too for my Ioniq 6 wrap in some other way
As a car enthusiast who has been watching Marques since the days where he still filmed from his bedroom, I am extremely pleased seeing him turn into a carguy lol I was smiling all the way throughout the video 🤩 Who knows, maybe we'll get to see him interviewing Hamilton (since he was invited by Ferrari at the Vegas GP)
Peak MKBHD arc is starting as an electric car enthusiast but then getting that taste of the experience of high performance gas cars with the Z06 review, ultimately culminating in him selling his Plaid for a 911
Congratulations on the 992, it looks sweet! I appreciate your take on the lack of high-end tech in the Porsche. A lot of sports car drivers complain about tech integration in their "driver focused" cars. They are purists. I understand this opinion, especially when car manufacturers are replacing tactile experiences with big, ugly screens. I wish for a dialogue between traditionalist drivers, tech-minded individuals, and car manufacturers so consumers could get the best of all worlds: Well thought out integrated tech, that isn't intrusive and takes away from a traditional and tactile sports car driving experience.
The more you know about cars, the more you realize it’s not a “device” like a smartphone or laptop. It’s the speed, the motion, the physics. And you will begin to appreciate the charm of internal combustion engines. The thing about car is, you are not driving a computer.
Depends. How do you use the car. If you can't take your car to the track then better track handling doesn't matter. Road handling is what matters which is sudden turns to avoid an obstacle without spinning out. Tesla's are the best cars for that. For the track Tesla has a lot of competition though. The Model S plaid while an amazing track sedan... that's it... an amazing track sedan. 2nd fastest track sedan on the Nurburgring ain't close to porsche 911 turbo S even. If you have a family or drive only on the road Tesla's are the the best cars straight up. But having fun on the track is important. The feeling of the car only comes into play when you push the car to its limits.
@@lachlanB323 Not always about pushing limits. I love sports cars for the design, engine and exaust sounds, shift of the transmission, and the unique emotion and personailty each different sports car has. EVs don't fill those voids. You just dont get it. But enjoy your Tesla if you dont care for any of that, and leave us engine lovers alone.
@@zahf6484 That's subjective. There's plenty of cars that make "nice" (I say nice in quotes because I hate loud sounds in general lol) sounds but have low HP. It's up to you whether performance or sound/feel is more important. For me it's performance and feel. Tesla's definitely dominate the performance section and their feel is above average assuming you put it into track mode as normally it's quite meh
@@lachlanB323 I'm yet to get into a Tesla and feel the urge to get back into one right after getting out. They just feel ... clinical. Empty. Gives me the same feeling i get when i get a new iPhone. It's cool for a bit and then it's just a phone.
@@Quickb3n You've probably not taken it for a proper spin. You can drive a Porsche on a highway but... that's not particularly cool or exiting lol. Road conditions matter. Boring roads are not fun regardless of the car. A bad car on a curvy road is way more fun then a Bugatti chiron on a highway constantly going at 85mph no acceleration just nothing lol.
This Car is my Screen saver i see the numbers 911 everyday everywhere and you inspire me further to show anything is possible and I would like to thank you and i hope you enjoy your new Daily I look forward to experiencing this awesome machine Have a great Day Marques
You seem so legitimately happy and excited about this purchase. Like how we felt getting a playstation for Christmas as kids.. good for you! God bless and drive safe.
He gives me Return on Investment guru vibes. From best tech bang for the buck. To best video gear bang for the buck. And now he chose the car with best resale value on the market. Watching you man. Even the sport he plays has big exercise benefit and low hype. I’m watching man. Keep doing your thing.
You can get pre wiring for a dash cam through the configurator, the Porsche branded dash cam it self is a dealer item I think. Also, the technology in a Porsche isn’t supposed to be as important or good as everything else. They’re driver oriented cars. I’m a Porsche enthusiast if you hadn’t noticed. :)
Dude CONGRATULATIONS! What a phenomenal car. So excited for you. Pumped for the car, pumped for all your success, you deserve it, man. And, now that you have one, I doubt you'll ever want to drive anything else. Porsche tends to do that to people (even my wife, who isn't a car person lol).
That is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. You did a fantastic job of picking paint, detailing, and you're right: that double stripe down the center of the hood looks incredible.
I'm fascinated by the gloss and matte black combination with the red brake callipers in this car, which looks amazing! Marques, you really have a great taste.
You r 100% spot on, Teslas do not handle like a sports car. Driving a Tesla does not compare to a Porsche, which hugs the curves. Plus, cannot beat the engine/exhaust sound while driving. Congrats on the new ride!
While researching to buy a car.. Everybody else - Reads about the car, watch reviews etc. MKBHD - Start a whole new channel and review every candidate car. Well played sir, well played
It's kinda uncomfortable though, the back of the wheel gets thicker as it widens to meet the spokes, so if you have your hands at 9-3 position you can't wrap your hands around it fully to get a good grip.
I have the 991.2 Turbo S and agree with all your points. I also have a MX Plaid--great tech and daily driver, but the Porsche is the best daily driver. Also, you might consider an older 997 S with stick-shift-I kept that one two and I take it our on the road for mind-clearing drives on weekends
Having driven a number of Porsche models, I’ll tell you the Turbo S is the all around best. It’s a daily that makes you king of the road compared to just about any car. Sure an electric that is primed and ready is quicker to 60 but 90% of the cars around you can’t stay with the Turbo S. It’s truly a phenomenal car-an engineering pinnacle-and a great choice. Bravo, Marques.
Congrats! Red breaks were actually standard on the 911. The breaks were called the big reds on the 917 and the 993 turbos. The colors of the break calipers indicate the break pad/rotor type you have. Yellow/Green = carbon ceramic.
Congratulations on becoming a car guy. And man a Porsche what a place to start that path. I have a feeling we'll be seeing you at track days before too long.
3 years later… THIS is my Porsche 911 GT3RS with a manual

I like how he explained the car, it’s a 9/10 at everything not just 10/10 an one thing , that’s the perfect explanation for this car
Most people would say its a 10/10 in acceleration, but of course he is comparing it to a Plaid so thats a bit different for him.
Even then the plaid is not 10 out of 10, compared to the rimac nevera which I'm surprised he didn't even mention at the beginning of the video@@Tbland0930
So it's a Grand Tour.
@@Tbland0930what he failed to mention is the plaid is a 10/10 speed but has no luxury. The fit and finish inside a porsche is night and day. Just touching the steering wheel and dash u can feel the quality difference from a tesla. The driving engagement the feedback u get is a 10/10 where a plaid is a 4/10. Speeding in an Tesla is like having sex with earplugs in. Only ur body feels it. (Except for the terrible wind noise in the cabin from poor sound isolation. 😂) Real sports cars hit and fill ur entire senses. It's just so much more thrilling. Not to mention this car TURNS HEADS. No tesla short of the cybertruck can come close to saying that.
@@G82Watts I think you are glossing over the fact that a Porsche is far more expensive than a Tesla. Yes, German quality is always going to be better than something made in America, but if Tesla made a supercar and sold it for a similar price, it would be made a lot nicer than a regular Tesla.
I'm so glad I've been able to watch MKBHD go from filming in his college room to filming in front of his Porsche. He deserves what he has and put in good work to get it.
I guess you think that makes you special or something? Should talk about driving past his old high school in Jersey back in the day on my regular commute as well, because you know that clearly connects me to him.

I work at the Porsche development center in Weissach Germany. Makes me really proud to be seeing my favorite tech youtuber own and drive one of our products 😍 Greetings from Stuttgart
I love how passionate you and your colleagues are. I have a 997.2S. I can’t describe the feeling of driving it.
What are you developing?
how did you ended up working at prosche tho ?
Congrats man, what a beauty!
It is a piece of history, not just a beautiful sports car.
I love that you reviewed (and drive) my literal dream car. Your reviews and perceptive are next level, I’m always 100% focused on your thoughts and what you share compared to other reviewers. Now I’m even more excited to drive this car when it comes in soon 🙌🏽

@@jojodroid31 If you actually cared about a "climate catastrophic" you would use public transport or riding a bike. An EV, although less polluting than ICE cars, still is very bad for the environment. But sure keep sitting on your high horse.

@@nuddin99 I'm sitting on my high -horse- ebike and judging all of you.
This is a great choice. Everybody on the youtubes is now buying a GT3 or GT3 RS but this Turbo S is more versatile and less punishing as a daily sports driver. Dare I say sensible choice.
Well the GT3 and GT3RS are straight up race cars. Not exactly made for comfort, unlike the Turbo S.
Turbo s is way more expensive too
and the turbo s is all wheel drive.
Nope, it’s a bargain when you count the stratospheric mark up on the GT’s.

LMAOOOO this comment is great🤣
As you grow, so does your taste 😅
Normally Im not jealous of this channel and the things he reviews but today is the day. Kinda forgot he has #1 tech reviewer money. Btw the glossy stripe 100% does make the car 10x cooler.
But also: cheer for MKBHD bc he followed his dream posting tech reviews and turned it into a successful business which also employees others! 🎉
Jealousy & envy are human “ qualities “ 😃🤷🏽♂️ Use it to figure out what *you* want & then go 4 it. Meanwhile, thank MKBHD & people like him 4 inspiring you 🙌🏽
Congrats, Marques! The 992 Turbo S is sensational. I work for Porsche, and out of all the cars I have driven, the Turbo S is my favorite for the reasons you mentioned. Great buy!
A few things to note, wireless phone chargers are an option and, sadly, are not standard equipment, but they are available when speccing the car. Also, the My Porsche companion app does allow you to pre-climatize the cabin along with the ability to lock/ unlock, viewing TPMS, the trip computer, as you mentioned, and setting speed or valet alarms. The Porsche dealership should have set it up and showed it to you upon delivery.
Also, for those that want to order a Porsche and are thinking about the dashcam, I highly recommend that you opt for the dashcam pre-wiring, which saves a lot of time and money. It can be done when you configure your car. The Porsche-branded dashcams are mounted just above the windshield and rear window panels. The Porsche dashcam app allows one to save videos and view a live camera feed, which you may find similar to what Tesla offers.
Again, congratulations! Enjoy the car, and we look forward to seeing future videos on it!
What it like working for Porsche?
@isaac10231 it's incredibly rewarding. You have the opportunity to represent a highly-respected brand and share it with others. Getting to drive some of the best cars ever built along with meeting many wonderful people is pure bliss. It's not always easy, as many people hold you to a high standard due to the brand you are representing. But if you measure up, you'll be reap the benefits. Also, the employee leasing deals are jaw-droppingly good. Porsche takes care of their employees, and they want their employees to drive Porsches. Many of my colleagues do. If you can find a position at the dealership or corporate level, I highly recommend pursuing it.
@@zeldafan4567 well well well. New goal unlocked lol
Hey @zeldafan4567 just an observation, but if MKBHD wasn't able to find a few features on the App, then that app is might be poorly designed? If a tech youtuber isn't able to find the options, then it might also apply to the general public. Might be worth a thought?
@ApuroopS not necessarily. The app is quite intuitive and a great deal of resources have gone into making it easy to use and operate. Previous versions were rather cumbersome, admittedly. I have used the app extensively, and the button to initiate the pre-climitization is on the app's main screen, which is the screen that the app opens to. It's quite easy to use and figure out. Some dealers don't include that as part of the new vehicle orientation. I, personally have had to set up and show customers how to use the app who did not buy their Porsche from my dealership. You'd be surprised as to how many simply gloss over the app.
Hey there's a clicking noise or a shaking noise when you are holding the camera or whatever you are mounting the camera on. Not sure if you knew that.

Strange to see someone coming from a world where have a phone key for a car is the norm. Took me a second to understand what Marques was talking about.
Mark?
I think it’s just because it’s luxury you kinda feel like it should- like how tesla (just first example on top of my head) you can start and heat car without being anywhere near it, cars that cost triple or more should have these features. If i’m paying 150k+ for a car it kinda seems silly to not have things that a 30k car has- even like wireless charging.

That car is beyond beautiful. If I ever have the money, I'm going to buy one of these. You're right about the contrast between the satin and glossy black; it looks incredible.
Been watching him for over 10 years now and I had the biggest smile watching him nerd out about his new Porsche. Enjoy the car my guy!
The yellow calibers are fine, but going red on your 992 911 Turbo S was definitely the right choice 👍👍
Agreed. 😊
It would've been sacrilege if he didn't go red.
I think the meaning of yellow Porsche calipers is that the car is equipped with carboceramic brakes, its not just an aestethic thing.
@@PaulTC777that’s right, PCCB are yellow, steel brakes are red
Agreed that PCCBs are typically yellow
Though at 6:55 those look like PCCBs and I believe PCCBs are standard on the 992 turbo S
So I think he just has PCCBs with red calipers 😂
You've put more miles on that car in that short space of time than some gentlemen have put on their Porsches they've owned for a decade plus. I love it.
1200 miles? are u kidding?
Naah Turbo S owners drive the shit out of them. You can find a lot of +80k miles used for sale. They don’t hold value like a GT car and their mainly used as daily drivers. The ones who stay in the garage is the GT3’s GT2’s and variants because they appreciate a lot in value so people keep them pristine. Plus they’re not very friendly to daily drive it. It’s a rough ride.
I always feel like it's such a shame when cars are left sitting in a garage somewhere because they're too "expensive" to drive around in. A lot of people spend a lot of time making cars like these and it's somewhat of a disservice to their efforts in my opinion.

It’s fun seeing Marques enjoying the fruits of his well deserved success.
I drove a 2018 Porsche Cayman through Turo. As a pretty basic base model car, it was, by far, the best driving experience I've ever had. The car knew what I wanted to do before I did. And, I think, that is the point of a Porsche. It is a drivers car, ready to do whatever you want at any second.
It's still an ICE nuisance.

Congrats on getting your dream car! Seems like you took a lot of time weighing options and researching. Excited to see more content around the Porsche, and definitely will be watching the auction closely.
Having watched Marques since his early days, I beamed through this entire video. Still so proud of his accomplishments but watching his car awakening culminating in this Porsche will keep me beaming for days. Some of us are just drivers. That’s it.
He earned it that's for sure
After trying all things electric, he is now realising why us ice fanboys dont like evs as sport vehicles.
I remember to see 16 year old kid in a tech channel mkbhd, showing some off the self point and shoot camera and stuff like that, now he is showing the brand new porche with custom collor. That is just amazing.
It's so refreshing to see someone who reviews so many tech products to not be infatuated with Teslas and think they are the best cars ever made.
I love that Marques is now a Porsche guy. Great pick. I’ve watched many 911 reviews and I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say it’s a 9/10 at everything and that’s what makes it great. Love that analogy. Great looking and driving car. The dream😍

Porsche has done such an incredible job to maintain its racing heritage, design, R&D, engineering, drive train technology, etc. better than almost any other brand. Ferrari is up there also! But I agree. This is a great sports car...I'm envious for sure! Best wishes! Mixing hybrid technology as it advances to this type of vehicle would be incredible. HP / Torque and better MPG's. Win / Win
I agree. Porsche is for me also the only German car maker, who was able to bring that unique feeling of their legacy cars over to the Porsche Taycan. Okay maybe also BMW, but they build their EVs on ther ICE-platform.
7:10 possibly the smoothest license plate blur I've ever seen
Congrats. You've earned this. This video reminds me of when Dough DeMuro got his Carerra GT. And the 911 is, IMO, the overall "best" sports car you can buy. As you said, it's not the best at anything, but overall still "the best." The build quality can not be beat.
A few Ferrari enthusiast might beg to differ.
I watched this review when it came out, and was like "how can a car be nearly perfect at everything?" Now, I'm lucky enough to have about ~500 miles in one of these, and holy shit is he right. It breaks the laws of physics with how it handles (thanks rear steer & PDCC), the acceleration is nuts, and it's also comfy enough to just take to the store and throw some groceries in the frunk. I also love how it's not an overstated supercar - I really like Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but there's something special about having a car that doesn't attract as much attention as those other cars. To most everyone on the road, it's just a Porsche that looks like every other model they make, but to those who know, they know that it's a supercar with a 2.5 0-60 that goes around certain tracks FASTER than a 992 GT3RS!
Marques, you made a fantastic choice of car, and I'm very jealous that you get to daily drive it at a young age. You deserve it.
As someone who works for Porsche Germany 🇩🇪 , all I can say is - congratulations. A very wise decision. ❤
pls give me an internship im german aswell
Anyone else getting a weird 3D during Marques' selfie bits? The background kinda looks like a green screen in the wind. Kinda discombobulating
ya it is a little hard to watch
it's stabilization either applied by the camera/phone itself or applied in something like After Effects in post. sort of looks like 'warp stabilizer' from after effects. i've always hated it
I see it
He uses a different phone during each video as a way to test that phones camera. When he releases the review on his main he usually refers back to these videos
My guess is its not an iPhone/pixel, this phone struggled with focusing and when the scene goes from bright to dark it takes a couple seconds to brighten
So gratifying to see a guy who just turned 30 that's able to buy and enjoy a car like this.
I always love the common-sense perspective and humility that Marques brings to his reviews, and this is no exception.
As far as the car, I NEVER like blacked-out cars or black wheels (I LOVE colors besides black, gray, silver, and white), but I've got to agree that this spec is pretty sick.
The shiny stripe down the middle and the glass roof really set it apart in my opinion, and make it awesome.
Excited to see an in-depth review of this car from MB sometime in the next year or so, and to see what the Plaid goes for (and smooth move selling it on Cars & Bids!)
He's a multimillionaire who can land interviews with Obama and Musk; he can buy a whole garage of super cars and still have enough money left for a mansion in the Beverly Hills
Turbo S is nice but the GT3 handles so much better in turns. The double wishbone suspension is AMAZING 😋
That's a hell of a car. Had a chance to drive it for a few minutes and I can't agree more that it's the best car in the world. The steering feel is unforgettable. The rear steering is so accurate and unobtrusive. Acceleration is both violent and confidence inspiring. I'd chose more subtle spec but this one is great too. I'm glad Marques got this 911, hoping for a full review.
What is its price?
Around $160-180k

Porsches are meant to be driven not treated like investments, they aren't rare, not a Lambo or Ferrari.
He said it's his daily.
He's put 1200 miles on it already. I feel like he'll be driving it plenty.
Your gloss hood stripes really do make the rest of the satin work well. They provide exactly the right amount of contrast to keep it from becoming some amorphous boring thing. A lot of satin or matte finishes just ruin the apparent shape of the car.
This is exactly how I feel about my new MX-5 I just picked up last month! Obviously it's no turbo 911 but the tech is unimpressive, nowhere to put your phone, have to have a key fob, app does nothing, no dashcam, but its just feels SO GOOD to drive. How connected I am with the car and the road is unlike anything I've ever felt before. Could not be more in love with my sports car and glad you are too

Hey Marquis! Happy birthday to you man and congratulations!! I can’t think of anyone else who is more deserving of a birthday gift as this than you. You’ve worked hard, you’ve earned it, and you are an inspiration to an “older“ gearhead such as myself.
The Turbo S is such a beautiful beast. Among the best (if not the best) daily drivable sports cars, so… fantastic choice. It’s a bit of a benchmark when it comes to speed since it’s just *so* good. But, relatively speaking, it’s still so tame and refined. Personally I’m super into the more raw/visceral sports car experience (like what I have now), but if I could, I’d have still that _and_ something refined like the Turbo S.
What do you have now?
@@Frankienoname0 I have a slightly modified TT RS (have an old video of it on my channel, actually).
@@Frankienoname0 It doesn’t compare to a Turbo S in performance, comfort nor refinement per se. But it has a locked down drivetrain (just more direct) via dogbone mount and insert, subframe mount/inserts, stiffer sway bar, lowering springs, wider wheels and etc. It’s already pretty tight but all that makes it even more direct and offers a more rough ride, but that’s what I enjoy. Smaller car that’s a bit more nimble (again, not a Turbo S though)
Marques' obsession with matte black has done him a disservice. This car, in a lighter colour would have been stunning.
This is the absolute most "tech" I'd want in a car anyway... IMO the last thing I want to do when I get in a car after a long day of screens is *more* screens. I want a refuge from the world constantly demanding my attention; to hop in and enjoy the process of just going somewhere. Sometimes slowly, sometimes very quickly.
Great choice, btw.
I like what you said, fully agree
That gloss stripes on the matte body are just killing it!!
Never seen it like this but loved it instantly!

Congratulations on the 992, it looks sweet! I appreciate your take on the lack of high-end tech in the Porsche. A lot of sports car drivers complain about tech integration in their "driver focused" cars. They are purists. I understand this opinion, especially when car manufacturers are replacing tactile experiences with big, ugly screens. I wish for a dialogue between traditionalist drivers, tech-minded individuals, and car manufacturers so consumers could get the best of all worlds: Well thought out integrated tech, that isn't intrusive and takes away from a traditional and tactile sports car driving experience.
The more you know about cars, the more you realize it’s not a “device” like a smartphone or laptop.
It’s the speed, the motion, the physics. And you will begin to appreciate the charm of internal combustion engines. The thing about car is, you are not driving a computer.
Depends. How do you use the car. If you can't take your car to the track then better track handling doesn't matter. Road handling is what matters which is sudden turns to avoid an obstacle without spinning out.
Tesla's are the best cars for that. For the track Tesla has a lot of competition though. The Model S plaid while an amazing track sedan... that's it... an amazing track sedan. 2nd fastest track sedan on the Nurburgring ain't close to porsche 911 turbo S even.
If you have a family or drive only on the road Tesla's are the the best cars straight up. But having fun on the track is important.
The feeling of the car only comes into play when you push the car to its limits.
@@lachlanB323 Not always about pushing limits. I love sports cars for the design, engine and exaust sounds, shift of the transmission, and the unique emotion and personailty each different sports car has. EVs don't fill those voids. You just dont get it. But enjoy your Tesla if you dont care for any of that, and leave us engine lovers alone.
@@zahf6484 That's subjective. There's plenty of cars that make "nice" (I say nice in quotes because I hate loud sounds in general lol) sounds but have low HP.
It's up to you whether performance or sound/feel is more important. For me it's performance and feel. Tesla's definitely dominate the performance section and their feel is above average assuming you put it into track mode as normally it's quite meh
@@lachlanB323 I'm yet to get into a Tesla and feel the urge to get back into one right after getting out. They just feel ... clinical. Empty. Gives me the same feeling i get when i get a new iPhone. It's cool for a bit and then it's just a phone.
@@Quickb3n You've probably not taken it for a proper spin. You can drive a Porsche on a highway but... that's not particularly cool or exiting lol.

You seem so legitimately happy and excited about this purchase. Like how we felt getting a playstation for Christmas as kids.. good for you! God bless and drive safe.
Im not usually a fan of matte black paint, but this looks really good. Hope you really enjoy it.
It’s satin black, not matte
I'm more of a fan of satin black on classic cars.
In that category I do include classic Porsches not just American muscle cars.
Not far into the video he said it's a Wrap that makes it look like satin black over the factory paint.
I feel the same.
It’s not paint it’s PPF with a matte finish. So he could swap it if he wanted too.
He gives me Return on Investment guru vibes. From best tech bang for the buck. To best video gear bang for the buck. And now he chose the car with best resale value on the market. Watching you man. Even the sport he plays has big exercise benefit and low hype. I’m watching man. Keep doing your thing.
Ferraris have better resale but they won’t sell you one.
You can get pre wiring for a dash cam through the configurator, the Porsche branded dash cam it self is a dealer item I think. Also, the technology in a Porsche isn’t supposed to be as important or good as everything else. They’re driver oriented cars. I’m a Porsche enthusiast if you hadn’t noticed. :)
Dude CONGRATULATIONS! What a phenomenal car. So excited for you. Pumped for the car, pumped for all your success, you deserve it, man. And, now that you have one, I doubt you'll ever want to drive anything else. Porsche tends to do that to people (even my wife, who isn't a car person lol).
That is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. You did a fantastic job of picking paint, detailing, and you're right: that double stripe down the center of the hood looks incredible.
I'm fascinated by the gloss and matte black combination with the red brake callipers in this car, which looks amazing! Marques, you really have a great taste.
Not to mention the carbon fiber accents and clear tail lights!
Happy for you, Marques. The Turbo S is a poster car and I hope you love it, mate - you deserve it. Big love from Australia
You r 100% spot on, Teslas do not handle like a sports car. Driving a Tesla does not compare to a Porsche, which hugs the curves. Plus, cannot beat the engine/exhaust sound while driving. Congrats on the new ride!
To see you go from making simple tech videos on RUclips to reviewing your brand new Porsche 911, that’s inspiring man
How you rated everything a 9/10 and not a 9/11 is amazing to me
While researching to buy a car..
Everybody else - Reads about the car, watch reviews etc.
MKBHD - Start a whole new channel and review every candidate car.
Well played sir, well played
THAT steering wheel, it`s an ABSOLUTE work of art, in fact you should buy an identical 1 and hang it in your office...... PURE CLASS 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
It's kinda uncomfortable though, the back of the wheel gets thicker as it widens to meet the spokes, so if you have your hands at 9-3 position you can't wrap your hands around it fully to get a good grip.
Thank you for being in the 1% of people who actually pronounce Porshe correctly.
Beast of a look there, love that contrast of matt & gloss - nice one & well deserved Marques. Definitely jealous.
I have the 991.2 Turbo S and agree with all your points. I also have a MX Plaid--great tech and daily driver, but the Porsche is the best daily driver. Also, you might consider an older 997 S with stick-shift-I kept that one two and I take it our on the road for mind-clearing drives on weekends
Having driven a number of Porsche models, I’ll tell you the Turbo S is the all around best. It’s a daily that makes you king of the road compared to just about any car. Sure an electric that is primed and ready is quicker to 60 but 90% of the cars around you can’t stay with the Turbo S. It’s truly a phenomenal car-an engineering pinnacle-and a great choice. Bravo, Marques.
I’m glad you see Teslas for what they are. An appliance with no soul.
Wonder what phone he's using.. the video is warping about all over the place!
Interesting🤔
Just noticed crazy
I had the same question haha
and weird clicking sounds. what is going on there?
the wobble has to be from a real camera no?
@@avonbarksdale2506 I didn't hear any clicking tbh
The chuckle after the Doug Demuro “This” at 0:18 was everything
Best car ever ... Porsche... no substitute ! Congratulations.
Congrats! Red breaks were actually standard on the 911. The breaks were called the big reds on the 917 and the 993 turbos. The colors of the break calipers indicate the break pad/rotor type you have. Yellow/Green = carbon ceramic.
Congratulations on becoming a car guy. And man a Porsche what a place to start that path. I have a feeling we'll be seeing you at track days before too long.
