The 2024 Porsche 911 S/T ($290,000 USD starting, $325,900 CAD starting) is a lightweight high performance GT car that aims to be the purest form of road-going 911. It’s powered by a 518 horsepower naturally aspirated flat-six engine, and revs all the way to 9000 rpm. It’s also seen significant S/T specific changes, such as a single mass flywheel and lightweight clutch. But with an availability that’s almost too limited, and a feverishly high price tag, does the 911 S/T live up to its expectations? Thomas and James are excited to get behind the wheel and find out! We hope you enjoy the episode! And then subscribe, silly.
Huge thank you to @MilesPerHr for allowing us time with his press loan! What a legend.
And to Sam and Page One for helping to make this happen.

James and Thomas are great and the key reason why so many of us come back for more, but I wanted to say props to the editors and production as well. I know production quality has been steadily increasing over the years of watching you guys, but something about this video made me realize how far you've all come compared to the videos from way back when. Props!
This comment deserves top comment tbh
Couldn’t have said it better
They peaked with the LFA video, but this is one is very close
Completely agree. It is definitely noticable, the steady improvement.
YES WHAT HE SAID💯‼️💯‼️💯 I LOVE YOU GUYS....OMG MAN
No you didnt... you didnt just do them that way in the intro :D
I love you guys so much
Mark McCann has a great series of videos on it. Dealers aren't even trying to hide it, they're literally saying the quiet part out loud.
the real porsche experience
@@scottmatthew9605 I know, I watched the videos. Thats why I found it even more fun to watch. Also with the Willy Wonka experience thing recently lol
Porsche did that intro to themselves.... Because it's true.
Jay Leno should see that intro! 😂
04:22 That mach cut was CLEAN AF.
I've watched it in 0.25 speed, I confess. Just had to.
if you use the period and the comma you can move the video back and forward frame by frame
Lmao that not a match cut
Okay, that demonstration of engine response at 5:10 is pretty impressive.
"What you want is a nimbus 2000" fucking gold🤣 21:16
I literally died🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rileynaka8323you literally didn't 😂
F****** love Jameses Harry Potter references 😂😂
That Brz / ST edit was so cold. Wow. 🥶
Absolutely
I saw this too early in the video to know what you were talking about, but kept an eye out for it, and I was still blown away. That was ice freaking cold.
CAME HEREN TO SAY THE SAME
I missed it, time stamp??
@@GrahamKerr.RealEstate it’s at the 4:23 min mark
You guys are the successors to the iconic trio of Top Gear - when it was still great - and The Grand Tour.
Copywriting is epic ("that sounds like I'm in between radio stations" - nice image), filming and editing are next level, it's all professional AND fun! And compared to the said trio, this channel remains focussed mainly on car testing and reviews. Love it. Nice job and thanks for that.
I don't understand why everything needs to be compared to Top Gear. "This is the new Top Gear", etc comments.
Why can't this just be good content on it's own without being compared to Top Gear? Clearly this specific video is nothing like your typical Top Gear video, and that does not matter. It's a good video with it's own script and idea.
@@slonkijippie Because Top Gear set the standads and is THE reference. Most of us like cars because of the way Top Gear showed them to us. Now Throttle House gives us absolute good content and we finally have car shows that meet THE reference, new standards set by those 3 blokes. When you have Jason Camisa on your channel, it’s because your channel is a good one. And I’m sure that Thomas and James arw proud to read that they are “compared” to THE reference.
@@juleswinnfield5112 Great point(s).
I think you need to look up what copywriting means
@@slonkijippie Agreed. All of the Top Gear comparisons are textbook cliches. Recycled and overused phrases devoid of any original thought + at this point it's a backhanded compliment since it largely disregards all the aspects that makes Throttle House unique and sums it up as some Top Gear copy.
Throttle House keeps getting better and better, the whole team is amazing.
I'm poor. I just like cars
I'm poor. I just want money
Same bro.... same
I swear I felt this...
I'm hungry. I just wanna get fed 1 billion
😂😂😂 this is me too
These guys are amazing actors they make their intros like films
The intros are so good because they are not great actors
true, the acting is on the same level as Marlon Brando
Never watch them..always skip to them together at the car...
@@blahmcblahface3965 you don't need to brag that you're a sociopath.
@@blahmcblahface3965no one likes you
you guys have become the category-defining, genre-altering, magnum opus of car content creators. Throttle House is truly the Gold Standard of this niche. You're better than peak Top Gear. I'm not exaggerating. I think James and Thomas are my favorite content creators ever.
Nothing comes closer to prime Top Gear
14:50 I would actually argue that you don't have to buy a 911 S/T to get this kind of experience, because a new ND Miata at 2,300 LBS offers a very similar drive to this car. Extremely light weight, a revvy NA engine, soft suspension, little sound deadening and a fantastic manual gearbox. But apart from that, this really is it. What a glorious machine.
Bro, thats like comparing me to Brad Pitt cause were both made of meat... You wont get this kind of out of a Miata, period. You dont get the precision, the feel, the raw power and responsiveness, the sound, etc... of this 911 in a cheapo, fragile steel and aluminum bodied roadster powered by an anemic straight 4 pot.
@@AI-qd4vb but you do get something that costs less than the adm of a gt3, let alone the car itself, and unlike a gt3, you can rev out 4th and NOT need to face jail time ;)
or you can get a similar formula in a c6 z06, with actual power (500hp) and still have $300k left over
@@AI-qd4vb I can guarantee you haven't actually driven an ND if you call the engine "anemic" or the chassis "fragile". There's very little cowl shake to speak of, only over rough train tracks, and the engine is a wonderfully responsive unit with throttle response like a motorbike, and revs that drop the instant you go for an upshift. It is true the Miata is not a laser-precise machine, but if you watch the S/T review again, neither is that in comparison to the GT3. If you actually boil down what makes the 911 S/T special, the Miata offers pretty much the same kind of experience minus the horsepower, but even then the power it has is enough for someone that doesn't care about the number on the dash, rather how the car actually feels to rev out. For a tenth of the price, that's pretty damn impressive.
@@tyler9703 What you said. The catch the revs minigame, you play the same one in an ND. Single mass flywheel response? That's ND1. I can shake the car with even the quickest kicks of the throttle the exact same way James showed. And James knows this but nobody wants to hear him talk about Miatas in this review. This isn't to say the 911 S/T isn't my favorite sports car....because it is 100%%
@@AI-qd4vbOf course you can't get the same performance numbers out of a Miata. But you can get some of that FEEL of driving. It's got the right formula, only applied on 1/12th of the budget. 5.000 dollars isn't as much as 60,000 dollars...but it's made from the same paper and equally as green.
Don't know exactly what happened. But you guys have risen to a level where you are in contention with the very best out there. All the poetic precision you want from a car reviewer but with maximum consideration towards having fun. The moto-journalistic version of the 911 S/T. Except actually available to the masses since it's free on youtube. Bravo.
Shut up. They have been the best for years now!
Top Gear rivals
@@domsbits3922 so true. production has improved drastically but they've been the best for years
Finally the upgrade from my Focus ST
😂😂😂
Nah
Jokes aside my Focus ST was a great DD. Reliable and fun.
Couldn't agree more with this video. I don't need rear wheel steering, I don't need turbos, I don't need 600hp, or a fancy dual clutch. I need a communicative, predictable chassis, a fast revving motor, and a solid standard transmission. Why does that have to be crazy expensive?
The ND2/3 Miata gets you all of that for $30k...
981 S, £30k
Unfortunately that's the scam Porsche is running now. Many reviewers have covered this including Chris Harris. The 911 has become so bloated/heavy, Porsche now removes stuff to save weight, then charge you more 😂
@@AvidUTuberI have always said….”Porsche….pay more, get less!” !!!!
@@flyjbaker Uh that's Ferrari
You guys are some of best car reviewers anywhere. The combination of your depths of knowledge, genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter and the clear and insightful way that you describe even the most intangible aspects of the driving experience - it's just perfect. I don't care if it's the latest Italian hypercar or a beat up old grocery getter - If you guys do a review, I'm watching it. You deserve all the subscribers.
This is the channel TV car shows should watch and take notes on. It is the peak of narration, filming, sound and editing in car shows.
And acting.
What's TV?
Top gear was peaked, but these are guys good.
@@tima9790I was born in the 80s, forgive me for remembering the old times.
I absolutely love how for certain cars it feels like you go just a bit above your already amazing quality just because the car really deserves it
Well said!
This is basically on the level of production quality, humor, and insight of the original Top Gear--a show I greatly miss. Thank you both for carrying on the torch!
I mean it is THE formula for every multi host automotive review endeavor today
@@WhuDhat Agreed, but while there’s a formula, the difficulty lies in the execution. Quite impressive for a couple of dudes and their team vs the entire BBC.
My wife just asked me to turn the volume down while i watch this video. “I cant. Impossible”. What a beautiful car, and excellent video! 🎉
Thomas called it. Car is amazing but there are no actual enthusiasts who can afford it and if they could cant get it. Sad panda days for people who would appreciate the car not just put it in a garage
I’m a fanboy, I can afford it and it won’t live in a garage. If you’re in Austin,TX and see one parked outside Kung Fu Saloon…you found me. 🤠
I choked cz of that flex. @@Zabaniyah_ACTUAL
wow, good for you rich boy. Thanks for letting all of us know your good fortune.
So buy a BRZ?
yep.
I 100% agree with Thomas about the need for a great Porsche everyone can enjoy for under 100k.
we have that already, its called a Miata
It's called the Cayman
But that exists in the cayman
Thomas is absolutely right. The reason why I love my s2000 is because it was a great car at a reasonable price. This Porsche is super expensive and super rare.. for no reasons
There are 1,000 used, no accidents 911s in the USA under 100k available on just Autotrader. Lots of affordable choices.
After following you guys for about 4-5 ish years, I am still EXCITED every time a new video comes out! I really love every single one of your videos! Thank you so much! Every. Single. One. Of. You! Love seeing how far you've come, and how you've stayed true to yourselves. ❤ Keep up the good work!!! ❤❤❤
Can’t express how much these videos are just pure art. Never stop uploading, ever
I completely agree with Thomas haha light, na, manual cars should be the standard and not the 500,000 dollar rarities that they’ve become. You shouldn’t have to pay more money to get less things in your car
Miata did it pretty well 😂
They are out there, just nowhere near as well packaged as this.
M2 comp, Dark Horse, Camaro SS 1LE, Toyota Supra, GR 86, Shelby GT350, Miata. Although I wouldn’t necessarily say “light” 😂
You can still buy every 911 model, from the bottom to the top in a manual. You don't have to spend this much
Come to the UK, you can choose from many manual vehicles including ones from Dacia or Ford
@@marcoortega9594he said light, not two tons 🤣 (GR86 withstanding)
Thomas is so Canadian he can't understand the concept of exclusivity. What a good man!
That's an idea from the Fatherland, and also the us.
@@drsrsv8884 hail to the fatherland
@@BananaRama1312 It's a European idea...

How do we deserve a 23 min piece of motoring journalism like this... and for free (as I pay for no ads with Premium YT). Fantastic film guys.
The value of this production… just incredible. Starts with the kind of shots, the depth, the exakt focus, the perfect sound, fitting the situation the car is in… the colourgrsding, the audio effects, the music, all combined with pure fascination for technological advancements in a car! I LOVE IT!😍
That intro is dedicated to Jay Leno singing praises of Porsche while being sour about Ferrari! 😂😂
In THAT interview he was praising McLaren to not have Ferrari BS if I’m not mistaken
@@thecompanioncube4211 He was praising Porsche with regards to his Carrera GT!
I’ve seen that Jay Leno thing about Ferraris. So disappointing to see dealerships doing that
Leno is not a fan of porsche. I think he only has one very old 911
@@aguruattapiano Watch his video, he was praising Porsche when they gave him a Carrera GT.
The intro is spot on loved it
Love your work! Videos are so engaging, chemistry is there, funny, and informative. Keep it up guys!
incredible video as always guys. so emotive and the editing, grading, camerawork is fantastic
20:27 Thomas went up like 3 octaves for that reaction 😂😂😂
The explanation for weight and suspension with the eggs had me laughing out loud. Guys, you are my favourite car channel since I found you 3 month ago😊
Go through their uploads and have some beer/wine and have a good time.
great vid guys! love it. one of the best ones you've done!
23:18 I wasn't expecting that WhistlinDiesel name drop, but I'm here for it. You heard 'em Cody, throw shovels at it.
You show up for the car reviews, but you stay for the "quite a bit of messin' about". Another gem, gents.
The intro is perfect. I just bought my first Porsche and they have basically just created a very expensive version of airline status. You work for them; they don’t work for you.
If you're gonna be owned by a brand...might as well be owned by the best, enjoy your servitude, and congrats.
Beautiful video guys, you two never disappoint. That sound 🤌🏼
James’s and Thomas’s enthusiasm is so infectious. I don’t like to drive! I would never get a sports car because it would be wasted on me. But I watched all 26 minutes because I was cheering for them getting to drive a car they were so intensely nerding out over.
Thank you for bringing everything we basically loved about old top gear back. The production, camerawork, comedy, and honest opinions. Love you guys. Setting a new standard.
That ‘twisted nipples’ comparison loool😂
Your guys' videos continue to amaze me.. beautiful shots and editing combined with amazing character. Awesome work as always.
intro was funny but i lost it when james started chewing on the hanging planter lmfaoooo
1:09 James change in facial expression when Thomas starts reading the golden ticket is priceless
That throttle response bit was LIT.
It was. ND Miata does the same thing, especially ND1 with single mass flywheel. Still that car is probably even more responsive somehow.
Bravo to the transition at 04:25 , seamless.
Fellow Canadians!
I love your channel and keep coming back for more. Keep it up gentlemen, and hats off to the video and editing team as well! 🎉
lol that Charlie & the Chocolate factory intro 😂😂. Lmao that ticket with the stipulations is SUCH a perfect representation of Porsche though.
I actually thought S/T would stand for Street/Track
Putting the snippet of the GT4 RS in while waxing poetic about the noise of the GT cars was an outstanding move.
I’m so grateful to them giving credit where credit is due. Nothing sounds like a GT4RS with the faucet opened all up❤
The BRZ to 911 video transformation is fabulous.
4:25 ...smooth
Classic 😂😂😂😂
They should have REALLY offered the S/T with the option of a duck tail, imo.
Yeah, the rear seems empty, but theres a Sport Classic, so I guess to make them more different it has none and because of Aero etc.
Instead they should have put the gt3's engine in the sport classic.
@@wolfgunther8325I really don’t like the lack of a wing on Touring cars. Just look imbalanced
Best clip so far. Entertaining, informing and engaging... I love it!
The production and content went up 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha the Golden Ticket was 10000% spot on.
My son and I went driving this past weekend and one of the dealers we went to was a Porsche dealer for a 2014 Cayman S. Firstly, the Cayman was a good driving car, the flat 6 sounded amazing and the PDK was the fastest I've driven. Having said that Porsche pricing is insane. This 10 year old Cayman S with upholstery damage, fender damage and PPF needing to be replaced was $45k.
They had candy colored almost new 911 turbo S's in the showroom for $299k and $280 respectively, for used sub-1000 mile cars. Umm Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin...
I'll take a Z06 for almost 1/3rd the cost or a Lotus Emira for 1/3rd, F-Type R, SL 63AMG... Too many drink the Porsche Kool-Aid.
As always guys great vid!!
You both are the best. And those transitions though!!! Superb.
11:09 "this is like feeding a gremlin after midnight, so naughty." WHAT Haha
That S/T 🤌🏼 The production value of these vids get better and better. James and Thomas make 1/2 hr feel like 5 min.
That sound at the beginning!! Gold!
A very nice episode and review as always. Thank you Thomas, James and throttle house!
The production quality of this video is INCREDIBLE, so amazing to see how far this channel has come! You guys make being a fan so easy!
Literally the best RUclips car channel there is.
Great episode... But the funniest thing by far was the automated closed captioning on FireTV Cube, which kept interpreting the snapping, popping, and chuckling of the engine on off-throttle overrun as [Applause]. 😆
Haven't' watched you guys in a bit, have to say I am very impressed with the increased production of your videos.
My god I smile and laugh every time. Genuine laughter. Love the work.
Röhrl said about the S/T „der beste“.
Love the intro; you guys are back to your great level of humor. And the review was spot-on as always.
11:54 is the greatest automotive tech breakdown ever. Lovvvvvve it.
This is an ST - Sports Tourer. The Touring part means it needs to be comfortable and equipped....
S/T actually stands for Shit Ton of money
4:58 spinning in 2nd gear that close to the redline...nice
quality of the video is always on point!
The sound… the visuals…. I have to admit I shed a tear knowing I’ll probably never be able to experience this automotive masterpiece. Thanks for allowing us to live our passion through you.
Seen a review on the S/T and its soooo nice.
Probably the most anticipated review on this channel for a good few months
Guys! What an excellent video! I’ve been following you guys for years and now you’re reaching top gear level of entertainment and production quality!
Wow kudos to Harris or whoever the sound guy is, yall captured the essence of the engine beautifully. Literally watching this blind just to get stoked after hearing the engine sound only.
that transition from the tS to the ST was amazing btw, great job
that intro was just brilliant! :D
Outstanding review James and Thomas. Outstanding!
hairs absolutely on edge listening to that 2nd to 1st shift.
Great job guys
The most affordable way to get rear wheel drive, manual, NA is to buy an old BMW! (Mine is definitely not in at the garage waiting to be fixed, shhh)
You do know that Miata exist, don't you?))😅😅
You did not just put affordable and old bmw in the same sentence 😅😅
Used reliable light Miata and 86/brz for under 20k.
Obligatory C5/C6 Corvette comment.
I agree. My M3 e30, while only affordable these days in comparison to cars like this, will give you an experience like this and I have had the good fortune to put 300k miles on it daily driving. Buy an old e30 and drive it if you’re a regular person and want to actually drive this style of car.
Twisted nipples GT3!
That's a perfect analogy for the S/T!
Always love your videos and the comedy aspect you bring!
Utterly beguiling! Amazing cinematography and the 9k rpm put's hairs on the back of the neck. Wonderful stuff!!
... Save the manuals👍!!! That's what I got in my '23 Challenger ScatPack Widebody Shaker 🎉
Congrats on the Shaker! I recently purchased a 2017 Mustang GT 6 spd and we’re saving the manuals 1 car at a time🫶

Outstanding. You guys deserve to be the most-subscribed automotive channel on RUclips. The best thing to come along since peak-level Top Gear.
Intro ON POINT!
911 review! let's go!
Best intro to date. Love these.
Absolutely love these videos and this car. You guys never put out a bad video
The Intro is World class😂
Thank you Porsche for keeping the spirit alive.
Lol yeah. The limited to only those who buy 50 other Porsches so they can trade it amongst themselves for 4x sticker. So glad we all get cars like this.
I love your comedy, your insight and your cinematography. Well done on all!
Thank you so much for blessing my ears!!!
Most accurate opening ever😂😂
You guys are hilarious, never stop making these intros😂
