One of the longest running sports cars in existence, the latest Porsche 911- code-named the 991, will go on sale in the UK from December 2011. Featuring a lower roof, more bulbous headlights and sharper tail-lights the front track is also wider, improving handling. The engines have received several tweaks too. The standard Carrera's 3.6-litre flat six cylinder engine is replaced by a smaller 3.4 that is more efficient but produces more power, at 345bhp. The 3.8-litre found in the Carrera S now produces 394bhp. Performance when fitted with the PDK twin-clutch gearbox and optional Sport Chrono Pack is very impressive. The standard Carrera sprints from 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds whilst the Carrera S can nail the benchmark in just 4.1 seconds. The interior has received a major makeover that is inspired by the Panamera, but with fewer switches. Most owners will opt for the PDK gearbox but Porsche also offer a seven-speed manual option - the first of it's kind in a production car.

Something about Porsches. It turns heads when it drives by, yet the design is so understated for an exotic sports car.
Because it's a Porsche
+violian5 True, I've got a shitty 996 and even that turns the heads of people of all ages
997 does not turn heads at all, too pedestrain looking, see people look right past them regularly, the 991 on the other hand does turn heads, it looks more special , lower, wider , sleeker and better proportioned
lol, 99% of people on street cant tell difference between 997 and 911, so they does turn head for every porsche, except if you are living in dubai...
Dreadzedan they look very similar. They both turn heads.
"Before you try to argue with me I am gonna end this video now" lmaaaooooooo
Best point: You would be great a presenter on Top Gear
Tyrone correction...its amazon
+james bower yeah the old shitty top gear that talks about prius's
+Zack The new show won't be aired untill ~september 2016
I totally agree
Remarkable how the multimedia centers in cars of only 6 years ago look prehistoric.
If I had a 991 911 the last thing I'd be doing is playing golf
+Ian Townsend
FOUR RIGHT
Precisely, better off having p@ssies going wet on the co passenger seat :)
I'm absolutely loving CarBuyer... it's not because of those fancy cars, it is because of their simplicity and perfection on reviews like this, a bit different from other websites or magazines.A big congratulations from Brazil !
I own a 2012 991 cabriolet for 2 years and have have to say I am very pleased all around with suspension and exhaust option. Its everything the reviews say about this car. One of the best cars made and I have had 3 other Porsches, I like this one the best.
This is the only review of the 7 speed manual i can find on youtube! Great review!
One of my dream cars. Here in Miami there's a ton of 911 driving around, so I get exited and sad every time I see one.
my dream car, thanks for the review Matt, have been waiting for it.
Great review of a great car! Don't know how you still manage to make every new review a little bit different than the one you made before.
Another great review - thanks Mat!
You guys make the best videos!
"Oh my god. The steering is rubbish!" In some way that sounded like a Jeremy Clarkson impression haha
I agree, this guy should be a pretender on Top Gear. Very good and very professional
Great review as always.
Nicely done, Matt!
I just love his reviews
Didn't the Chevrolet Corvette had the first 7-speed manual gearbox in the world? I believe it did.
Great show you guys!! Love it!!
Sincerely
Patrick
YES! Finally a review of the new 911, with a MANUAL gearbox.
i never used to like Porsches, but I now understand the beauty of this amazing machine!
The Nissan Skyline (r34) and GTR are truly great sport cars, one of many favourites. No matter what, Porsche will always be the best. As a kid, I remember just admiring Porsche's out of any car. Nothing can top it ever. Worth every penny.
Good video and reviewer. Top marks.
I will not argue with you please continue!
Great review!
I think Mat's haircut/style has improved and I'm in love with him again!
This is my favorite car, EVER!!!
The last of the naturally aspirated wailing flat sixes
At long last a carbuyer review of the 911
Matt is the best, good job mate
OMG! 7-speed manual!! I need one... NOW!
are you guys going to do the 2016 models, now that they added Turbo to all of them
I like your Clarkeson impersonation "This Steering Is Rubbish" LOL
I'm going to buy this tomz can't wait
Please do more sports car reviews!!!!
Good Straight Forward Review, Thanks ;).
as always, great job.
Carwow Matt! Crack up!
Very good reviewer
good review , great car
I owned a 911 (964 version) Carrera 4 in the early 90s for a couple of years. I am always amazed when journos talk about the old models being so hard to drive, dangerous and unpredictable due to the tail happy handling. Bollocks. If you went sideways it was because you were out of control or were a numpty who simply shouldn't have been in it. I enjoyed mine every day commuting through rural Kent up into London and had great fun in it, without getting into a spin. They are great cars.
Have to try it!
I’m thinking of swapping my 996 Turbo for one of these. Any advice?
Best Car Reviewer on RUclips.
Since Auto Express brings Super hot cars, Matt decided to show them who is the boss :D
Everything this guy said is the reason why Porsches are my dream car! :D
Look how young you are here Mat... :) Had to take a double take as your voice was immediately recognizable.
and you sir are clearly a madman
this looks very nice
I test drove a used R35 last month before i changed my M3. Incredibly fast but i could not live with that low rent interior (it was a 2008) , neither could i live with worrying about transmission failure or ridiculously short service intervals and eye watering running costs.
The 991 is just at another level in terms of interior trim, and although the GT-R is faster you will not find many people who would say its a particularly involving car to drive which is one of the 911's strengths
Lovely car and nice colour.
+sheraz khalid Its white?!
nice car! i have one curiosity... would you do a comparison between this new 911 coupe and the new 2013 corvette with the v8 430hp? iwould like to know which one is the best...
I can't wait for the turbo.
Cool,can you make video with Masserati Granturismo?
AA, so nice to see one with a proper stick shift :)
Matt from Carwow... He always had that wow swag.
Hi, can You do a review on the latest ford mondeo ecoboost?
Probably one of 5 best cars overall on the market today.
At what speed does that rear wing come up? Also, at what speed does it go back down?
+ianrkav You can adjust that manually if you want.
I saw one of these new 991-gen models parked up in my 'hood recently and I couldn't help instantly noticing the longer wheelbase and width - definitely a bigger car. Then, as I was slowly walking around it, noticing the humped-up/higher rear-end, I realised that I started viewing the new 911 as the GT version of the Panamera... and how the (much better looking) new Cayman would now be my preferred 'sportscar' from Porsche over a 911... At least I can have a manual !! New flappy-paddle GT3 ? pfft
This narrator gives an excellent report. I look forward to buying my very first Porsche. Thank you. Tyler Lord Hamilton
You are no Lord
Yes he is a fukin jay lord
My next car for sure!
Excellent review, for a near-perfect car!
I would take mine exactly as this one, white, and with the 7-speed manual
so, 9 years later, did you get it that way? or was it some other car?
@@DSG-farts-connoisseur unfortunately not! Since I need a more practical car I got a B8.5 Audi S4 with the 6spd manual and sport diff package and full equip with the other options! I love it but it's no Porsche
He said ONE OF THE best.
I love the sound of that 4.7 V8 of the Quattroprte
i'm waiting with passion the review of the porsche cayman 2013
Wow, 7-speed manual looks really weird, but I guess that's just because it is something new that we have never seen before. I would really like to try and drive this with the 7-speed.
Review the Maserati grandturismo
PDK are brilliant gearbox.
On the track yes, blinking lights buttons on the wheel, no backseat, not space for storage, no 4wd and the navigationsystem is in a small screen so you have to choose speed or navigation...
The Porsche is a GT gar and sportscar in one.
Awesome story bro!!! I sooo believe you!
Please, review the Cayman S!
Can you do a review on the new corvette
Thank you for your OPINION!
very good
please Matt review Nissan GT-R !!! BTW excelleunt review :) :)
Does anyone know why loads of manufacturers are moving from hydraulic to electric steering?
Thank you :)
is the PCM standard ?? I thought it was optional
all right guys! i can see that the nissan GTR is becoming the center of the issue now... i will like to comper two cars, and i will like to know what do you think about them, generally.. nissan gtr 530hp and the F430 scuderia 510hp..
You should be the new presenter of Top Gear ngl.
Great Guy!
And before you try to argue with me... HAHahahahahaha, great video Mat, absolutely brilliant.
dream car
Holy fuck I love this car! Thats one of the sexiest exhaust sounds of any car and I also love the 7 speed manual! Great review Matt!
If you want a good deal on a Porsche ask for Adolf the head salesman !
+Simon Walker
Everybody I think we have a liberal in the house. I say a liberal.
Simon Walker wow what a fuckwaffle
Whats with the fugly dash clock?
isn't the pcm optional ??
Nice, but why is the steering on the wrong side?
what is cooler.. this or mercedes sls amg??
Right, and you're measuring yours ?
oh jeez it's so beautiful...
is it just me or the windows lower automatically when opening the door and lifts up after closing it.
MANUAL!!!
Matt, nice review as always, however I'd rather see the channel review 'normal' cars so to speak rather than those very expensive toys which we're seeing as of lately. nonetheless keep up the good work..
34 mpg now that's amazing but i am sure that is manufacturer's figure, also what fuel is that with if petrol then diesel will get more.
i agree with you 100%. you cant get the same prestige, elegance and refinement in the FTR same as the porsche. don't get me wrong. i love both cars, both are on my top 5 list. but when it comes to the moment i have to decide which one to buy, things you mentioned comes into mind. for that kind of money i would go for the Porsche. oh wait. i already got one.
The A8 W12 has quite a lot of gadgets as well to transfer all that power to the road. Plus its 4-wheel-drive. Its entirely possible.
I tested both the 2009 and the 2015
2009 has more head space for the rear seats which is exactly why I think it's better for anyone who wanna carry an adult who is 170 tall maximum..
Sorry to say, Everytime I go to Montreal for business, I drive a 2006 997S. My Daily is a S5, and I drive a Ferrari 360 Spyder at least 1 week per year, and my best buddy lends me his 2010 Gallardo all the time. Yes, In Canada, a 997S properly loaded was 100K MINIMUM with the ceramic breaks, at the time. Now it's the 991. Don't assume things.
