Carwow is a joke of channel, its for little kids. To this day they havent done a real roll race, the roll race they do is heavily flawed n is not showing the true potential of cars. N that drag race stuff is for bad drivers and fake car guys, no real driver cares about that anyways.
Tell you what Sam, working for Porsche has been such a surreal experience for me. 2 years on and I am happier than ever. To see these cars everyday (and drive them every now and then) has been a dream come true. To see amazing people like yourself be granted such an epic experience with Porsche themselves really makes me smile! Truely deserved mate.
@@noahssd3863same!! It’s my dream. All i think about day in day out is cars, but i’m not sure how i can start a career in the world of cars. And Porsche happens to be my favorite manufacturer.
@noahssd3863 hey mate, sure. I worked for Mercedes literally across the road 😂. I was informed of a new position that was being introduced that matched mine at Merc, decided to duck tail and make the switch to Porsche. Best advise I can give: Show them how enthusiastic you are about the brand, and show off your knowledge. Show them you genuinely want to work there.
You should feel ashamed for charging so much in the US. Porsche could easily register gt car owners so we’d get first crack at the new one . But instead Porsche lets the dealers ignore the previous owner so they can sell to the lawyer who wants a status symbol. He pays $150,000 over MSRP. He hates the ride sells it back to the dealer so he can sell it again to another lawyer. It never gets to the enthusiast. For the first time the GT3 is MORE in the US than Canada. Imagine the dollar is worth $1,30 of Canadian but it’s cheaper in Canada. That means Porsche is doing a huge cash grab in the US. So after 25 years of 911s and 3 GT3s I’m done. For Ferrari McLaren or Lamborghini money I’ll buy a Ferrari McLaren or Lamborghini.
7:12 appreciate this is somewhat pedantic but for a company with such renowned attention to detail, the reveal behind a pillar feels like an oversight. That aside, another excellent video and congratulations to being selected as one of the thirty five invited to the launch! Speaks volumes.
I never really like overbite rear bumper that 1. GT3 had. This one looks more like 991 GT3. The only thing I don't like is that they got rid of front bumper DRL/turn signal. I know they said they are redundant now, but it look much better with them
Big jump in price for the base GT3 of around £30k. Additional £19.4k Weissach Pack, magnesium wheels, and other options on top. Some of these GT3 are going to be going out of the showroom at £200k list.
981 S for £35k and done. All the handling and NA sound at a usable power levels for the street. A very livable car with the engine in the right place. If you have £200k then huracan would be the one
Rear seats are huge, alot of people who can afford GT3 have kids but they cant justify buying a 2 seater so they have to get GTS/Turbo instead. Not saying those are not beasts in their own right, but GT3 is something else to any other Porsche. Now they can get a touring as a second car and justify it to their wives because it has seats for kids too lol
You can't imagine how high electricity prices have become in Germany. It's surreal. A folly. It's a small miracle that production is still going on here at all. Well, not for long if it goes on like this.
I feel like their new halo models receive unduly excessive price increases to help offset much higher development costs elsewhere, such as the all new hybrid engine in the 992.2 GTS. Let’s face it…that new hybrid engine cost way more to develop than this parts-bin-special that is the 992.2 GT3.
It’s actually a $50k increase. Especially when you consider that you’re paying additional tax on the increase. Porsche just sees the opportunity for a big cash grab and rightfully takes it.
@@blueman5924 incorrect. I would never dream of “upgrading” my 992 GT3 at this new price tag. Much of the benefit of Porsche ownership is value and the formula for .2 fails the value test.
Looking at the lineup of every model from the 996 to now the 992.2, the lesson here is they’re all amazing. I would happily take any one of them and it would still be more car I could handle on the road. What a special lineup in the automotive world.
@12:48 , As far as small changes go, BMW did the same thing with the LCI M3. They changed the dashboard to a curved display, removed physical buttons to lower their build cost, gave it a light tune, a few different options/accessories, and said here you go, pay us 10k more. Which is why I am keep mine, (enjoying it but keeping mileage low), until I can afford the 911 I want. And finally, that hot lap in the damp dark shows you the difference between a seasoned vet vs. everyday road warrior, made it look so easy.
You are such a lucky ducky Sam!! What a life to have all your experiences with the coolest events with Porsche. What a dream! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you! 🙌!!
I think its fair for you as a 992.1 owner to not feel the need to upgrade, but as someone who isn't currently a GT3 owner, I've never wanted one more. The shorter gear ratios and Weissach options really sell it to me like no other version before it
Great video Sam!! I always love when you put out some Porsche content!! I want both of the new GT3s, I drive a 991 Touring but with eight year old twins the new Touring would be great!!
The winged version is a lot of fuss about nothing much. When the folding seats are the highlight, that means there is nothing much that's new. The Touring however, is interesting. Seems to me they are trying to create a "production" S/T, the car no one was able to get.
Every new 911 since the 996 (not a fan of that one personally) has been more gorgeous than the outgoing model, yet still proudly displays its roots. Stunning! If I won money, I'd be straight to the local Porsche dealer, but as it stands I'll be lucky if I ever own even a clapped out 25yo Boxster...
It's tough being in the navigator seat of a hot new GT3 when he's doing high speed cornering at night, in the wet. i imagined your face as he hit some of those tight corners at speed LOL Well done, mate.
I didn't like the regular 992.2 GTS, but this GT3 is awesome. And the fact they made this to be better for the road and with rear seats as an option is amazing, that's the only thing I think the GT3 is missing, and the main reason why I love the S/T so much, it is a GT3 with softer suspension.
Price increases because Porsche has seen dealers marking up new cars with customers willing to pay. Porsche curbing demand, making more profits and making it more exclusive.
I don't understand the rave about the rear seats... What is most exciting about this car is the 8% shorter gear ratios so that you can actually use the Revs in a 6MT; and the supposed increased S/T type suspension compliance. Keeping the ICE is also a huge thing - how hard would it be to remove 2 of the 4 CATS hmmmm..
Holy Shit does that Car look MEGA CAPABLE! even the first 10 seconds going on to the track really showed how extraordinarily capable this new gen GT3's are !! records are going to be broken! also the dude CAN DRIVE!
The only thing that has my interest is the 8% shorter gearing. That has to impact the acceleration and they are not letting that information out in a way that it is known. I have a feeling it is going to do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds when they allow real testing to happen with the media.
I'm thinking that I'm more drawn now to the 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid now after the launch of the GT3 cars. The T-Hybrid is faster, cheaper and offers more versatility and you get the back seats as a no cost option. I am not a pretend race car driver and if I spent that much money for a car, i don't think I'll risk taking it on the track. The GTS T-Hybrid is enough car for grand touring and daily use and if taken to the track, it will more than keep up with or embarrass the GT3 cars.
I wonder if Porsche will ever bring out a longer wheel base or even a shooting break version or style 911 with identical front and rear ends to the 911, that is actually a real 4 seater 🤔
without the wing, it looks bald like a frog. Feels weird that a GT3 looks less agressive than a Turbo/Turbo S and even Carrera S. Should've at least give it a smaller wing like on Turbo/Turbo S or a ducktail like on Carrera S

up.
I saw that too

How one can get to work with them?
That touring press car is gorgeous. That exterior with a heritage style interior would be the dream - a bit like the one RBR has made with his 992.1.
That black ST belongs to Andreas Preuninger
Didn't think black would be nice on an ST, but it's sharp as fuck.
It doesn't belong to AP it belongs to Porsche
Andreas drives a Dodge truck
Andreas doesn't own an ST, but I remember him saying at the ST launch if he were to spec an ST, it'd be in black, like the one in the car park
Holy shit! The onboard lap with Jorg was amazing! Thanks for taking us along!
7:12 appreciate this is somewhat pedantic but for a company with such renowned attention to detail, the reveal behind a pillar feels like an oversight. That aside, another excellent video and congratulations to being selected as one of the thirty five invited to the launch! Speaks volumes.
I actually love the redesign, feels like slightly more 991 ish
I never really like overbite rear bumper that 1. GT3 had. This one looks more like 991 GT3. The only thing I don't like is that they got rid of front bumper DRL/turn signal. I know they said they are redundant now, but it look much better with them
I like it as well. Well thought out mechanical tweaks and it looks great. The removal of the physical tachometer is disappointing.
the pause of silence before the first claps when the curtain dropped... haha - great vid Sam, as always.
No one can clap with one hand holding their camera phone! oh the joys of modernity :)
That metalic green is gooorgeous, under those lights.
40k for a facelift is crazy work.. But that GT3 Touring is absolutely gorgeous
if you account for inflation the new 992.2 is only 4k € more expensive.
6:26 You’re 1 of 35 Sam-always knew you were a rare, limited edition!
Big jump in price for the base GT3 of around £30k. Additional £19.4k Weissach Pack, magnesium wheels, and other options on top. Some of these GT3 are going to be going out of the showroom at £200k list.
VAG have got to pay for the development of those electric cars somehow.
Porsches killing the dealer markups so they get all the profits for themselves.
This is a problem. The GT3 RS started this aweful trend of Porsche's future direction. If people only knew Porsche isn't the end game.
Porsche has watched the flippers and want that margin for themselves- they price gouge the standard models through options -
981 S for £35k and done. All the handling and NA sound at a usable power levels for the street. A very livable car with the engine in the right place. If you have £200k then huracan would be the one
It's not old news to me Sam.......I've avoided all other videos until yours came out!
Rear seats are huge, alot of people who can afford GT3 have kids but they cant justify buying a 2 seater so they have to get GTS/Turbo instead. Not saying those are not beasts in their own right, but GT3 is something else to any other Porsche. Now they can get a touring as a second car and justify it to their wives because it has seats for kids too lol
That GT3 992.2 touring with that green just only needs golden wheels & beige interior then it's my perfect Porsche specification
$40,000 price increase over the .1 is not worth it.
You can't imagine how high electricity prices have become in Germany. It's surreal. A folly. It's a small miracle that production is still going on here at all. Well, not for long if it goes on like this.
Anyone who has 911 GT3 money isn’t going to balk at the increase to get the latest driving experience.

I would still go for a 997.2, the newer ones are so damn massive and the roads are still narrow, at least in Europe.
IMO the styling peaked with the 9x7.2 gen. Peak of technology and CAD before the bureaucrats ruined everything
That touring car is literally perfect. Don’t wrap it I’ll have it to go please Andreas

2006-2017 could be released today & still be considered revolutionary. Stunning.
Best 992.2 video out there with this material - well done!
What a refreshing change to the others ‘launch’ videos, great vid Sam
Sunday night in Australia checking in 👋
Ay fancy seeing you here mate
Great video Sam, love that it's different from others on RUclips
You are such a lucky ducky Sam!! What a life to have all your experiences with the coolest events with Porsche. What a dream! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you! 🙌!!
For me, it will always be the 991.2 Touring.
You said it right. So beautiful, small and raw compared to 992
This is an excellent video; you really make the viewer relate to the events and emotions.
I think its fair for you as a 992.1 owner to not feel the need to upgrade, but as someone who isn't currently a GT3 owner, I've never wanted one more. The shorter gear ratios and Weissach options really sell it to me like no other version before it
Big fan of the price increase
Great video Sam!! I always love when you put out some Porsche content!! I want both of the new GT3s, I drive a 991 Touring but with eight year old twins the new Touring would be great!!
The winged version is a lot of fuss about nothing much. When the folding seats are the highlight, that means there is nothing much that's new. The Touring however, is interesting. Seems to me they are trying to create a "production" S/T, the car no one was able to get.
IMO, there should be an option of a ducktail type rear deck lid on the Touring. That would really be🔥!
Agreed, why not make it like the ducktail on the winged GT3?
Sam, check out the owners doing the S/T suspension programming - for the road it sounds like a big improvement (see Rennlist)
Kudos to them for maintaining the recipe in light of increasingly tough emissions regulations. Great video Sam.
997.1 is my favorite gt3.. unique wing and last gt3 you could get with a sunroof
Every new 911 since the 996 (not a fan of that one personally) has been more gorgeous than the outgoing model, yet still proudly displays its roots. Stunning! If I won money, I'd be straight to the local Porsche dealer, but as it stands I'll be lucky if I ever own even a clapped out 25yo Boxster...
4 2m guys on a GT3... that's actully impressive
That Green on the Touring model to me is Gorgeous! It's very similar to the green on my Bronco, but with the lines of the Porsche, it looks killer!!
The correct reaction to a passenger lap, like that!
Fab to see all the variants side by side to see the evolution! Makes it easier for me to chose which one I want 🤣🤣
It's tough being in the navigator seat of a hot new GT3 when he's doing high speed cornering at night, in the wet.
i imagined your face as he hit some of those tight corners at speed LOL

Is the backrest adjustable on those new folding buckets?
The green is really good
LMAO at Sam turning German with his "Ja" at 11:07
Andreas contribution to porsche for the last 25 years has been absolutely amazing
Gr8 Cinamatics...love it! 👍
Love the colour of the dark green change the wheels to gold perfect spec
Seeing the 992 next to the all previous generations doesn't do it any favors
I think we are in peak Andreas Preuninger territory, I'd love both of these as a pair- come on Lottery.
If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Thanks Sam for sharing the experience.
If you got offered a touring would you change ?
why didnt you use any of the GoPro footage pointnig to you 2 on the drive on the track ?
Frustratingly these were Porsche’s cameras and they didn’t send me the footage in time for today’s video release
@@seenthroughglass thats unfortunate, maybe you can use it in a RUclips Shorts clip in the future when they send it to you
What color was that 992.1 in the background? Miami? Riviera?
How could that driver see the track at those speeds in the dark, absolute insanity 😮
I love porsche
But to be honest, nothing is new
Why is the price increase
Agreed
New bucket seats, folding, heated, isofix, cut-out for helmet, rear access, rear seats (Touring), new front and rear fascias, improved aero, lighter alloys, magnesium alloys, new headlights, improved gear ratios, improved cooling, Weissach package, improved steering, improved ride, configurable dash, turn key starting, etc...
@@davidkeenan5989re-engineering engine to meet ever stricter emissions without losing power must have cost a bit too

@@hman0007 2 a penny where I live. Everyday sports car
only the online influencers seem to be able to buy these cars at RRP
That's why they will give gushing reviews, even if it's the same
Green touring with gold wheels and tan interior 🤌
Love love love the touring spec
NO differences Except the Price …No more dealer markup ? Agree Sam …no need to upgrade IMO
GT department X Sam delivered!
Over A$500k in Oz, with Weissach. Thats 250k quid! Ouch.
have the rear seat prices fallen for the older cars ?
I don't understand the rave about the rear seats...

Does it sounds like you gt3 version? Or better?
Holy Shit does that Car look MEGA CAPABLE! even the first 10 seconds going on to the track really showed how extraordinarily capable this new gen GT3's are !! records are going to be broken! also the dude CAN DRIVE!
So seems better off not specing rear seats and instead getting aftermarket rears added later for better headroom
Flat out on track in the dark is next level fun
I would imagine the rear seats will be used for storage with backrest folded down, more than for passengers.
Hockenheim with damp condition at night with those small lights only at crazy speed looks terrifying. 😅
That banked corner came of nowhere the driver knows the track 😂😂😂 cause if it was me I would’ve gone straight 💀💀💀💀
They are so brave. The massive build up to reveal a car that looks exactly the same as the previous model.
I know it’s kinda of ridiculous spectacle
Its a facelift…
Wow so porches follow the aftermarket and add rear seats 😊to a street race car . Touring car is for me . But wish it had a small wing .
A wing will justfity the change on the next version, plus another 40k then
4 seat, manual touring in GT Silver please 🙏
I remember the sys when the turbo and GT2 were kings. How things change.
Esse Touring verde ganhou meu coração 🫣❤
The 992.2 GTS is the one to get. It just brings the best improvements, and the engine now sounds fantastic.
no it doesnt, the engine sounds terrible, all the reviews you've seen are interior sound being pumped in through the sounds system!
Very interesting to see behind the glass😂

The only thing that has my interest is the 8% shorter gearing. That has to impact the acceleration and they are not letting that information out in a way that it is known. I have a feeling it is going to do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds when they allow real testing to happen with the media.
It’s no longer interesting because many EVs can do that now.
I knew you wouldn't be the one driving when it said 'flat out'. At least it's not clickbait!

Unless you have small children then the rear seats are an absolute waste of time, ditto for all 911’s, hence the Cayman can be the better car.
So the new front carbon seats are a tribute to the M3/M4 buckets...
I'm thinking that I'm more drawn now to the 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid now after the launch of the GT3 cars. The T-Hybrid is faster, cheaper and offers more versatility and you get the back seats as a no cost option.
