This is like the only thorough review of the 996 Turbo at the time of release. Top Gear really disappoints in their lack of interest in the car. I feel that they should have given it more air time.
@@alexavina7960 after watching the show for so long, I realize that it’s actually a complement they made for the 996 Turbo. The car was just too well rounded... they couldn’t create an interesting narrative around it. For some, it may appear lack lustre or boring, but in reality... it’s brilliant!!!
The 996 Turbo a sexy design with the famous rock solid "Mezger" engine. Love the Le mons style racing lights awesome. The rear end is of pure porsche character a power haus design. The best Turbo, way ahead of it's time. Really is the ultimate aggressive porsche a total road all weather urban icon.
The Japanese really do love and know their cars. Meanwhile John Davidson is blathering on about "excellent body control with just a hint of under steer"
Watch that PSM in the wet. It'll kick pretty hard and sometimes compound your mistake if your in a drift. If you get into a big drift(in the wet), it'll be late to the party and gives you a nice surprise. Then you find it working against you, while regaining control. First hand experience in my daily driven 996.
Bullshit the turbo and GT2 are both capable racecars/trackcars even the 996 Carrera is. People like you know just like to hear themselves talk! You ever been on a track with any of them? Or even driven any of them?

I remember buying the dvd years ago and still have it. I was finally able to buy a 996 turbo a few years ago.
Congratulations on getting your hands on a 996 turbo. Enjoy one of the finest sports cars to have ever come from Europe.
Fellow owner here, totally understand your feeling!!! Perhaps one day auto journalists will give proper attention and respect to the 996 Turbo
Kevin Boucher how is reliability, and how do the running costs look?
I wish I will be able to buy one in the future . Been a fan of it ever since its debut.
This is by far the best review of the 996 Turbo. It is unbiased and factual... shows how bad ass the 996TT really is!
Agreed, I can't find another video where the 996 Turbo is being driven so hard around corners
Probably the best designed 911 of all time. Can't really get much more praise than from those of the BM guys, they BEAT the piss out of every car.
Detailed, unbiased, fact-focused reviews. I wish we still had these! Love the pedal-cam also.
All those tests or reviews from the US and UK feel like bullshit compared to this. These guys really drive. Fast. And know what they're talking about.
I used to have this dvd. Back when Best Buy had all sorts of cool stuff for sale

Clarksons top 100 cars it's was the best car in the world in 2000
Top Gear is (was) extremely biased towards euro and UK cars. To each their own though...

Very good video on how this beast performs when its pushed hard

I just love the 996🥰

Allez cuisine! Pretty sure voice over guy also does original iron chef. Great video
This is the narrator from Iron chef. Very good show. I too love the 996 turbo.
Great video and commentary, these guys know how to FULL SEND!!! Way to go Porsche🤙🏼
He destroyed those tires! 🤘🏻
996TT prices have taken off !!! .. did you miss the boat?
Usual Gan-san doing over 280km/h without a helmet on. He has balls.
best review i've seen on here!!!
This type of test are a reference... I want a lot see a test like this for example GT2 RS vs 720s
Damn these guys are fast,
What is the Adidas shoe model he's using?
Couldn’t really tell it could either be Campus 00’s or Gazelle’s. But Betting my shoe its the Campus 00’s
6:27 that hand though
Very nice test. congratulacions. i love the nxs but the petrodolar german ist to power to Honda Americans csr...
are there any video test like this with newer vehicles?
They just release a YT channel.
Izzo Reyes ?
SO INFORMATIVE....NOT LIKE JOKEY BRITISH MOTORING REVEIWS.
There can be only one.
Wtf is that an engine under the car? 4:28 how did they do that?
mirror bro
@@onealgifford3722 Oh... makes sense
@@electricfan3243 lmao! ;)
That Porsche dominated the competition in its day. Too bad it had those headlights. They should have compared the headlights as well to make fair.
The headlights are growing on me. Is your view evolving? Just curious if it ends up becoming an isolated classic.
here is a clip of my 996 turbo going up a canyon in malibu last week ruclips.net/video/kqOom6OWqSc/видео.html
I wished they tested the GT3. That's the only race worthy Carrera.

T Hof yeeesh relax! It was just an asshole commenting bullshit.
now imagine 3x the hp
To all american people out there: Please DON'T say "Porsh" to a porsche. It sounds sooo annoying -.-
Nakaya's driving in the Porsche was rubbish. I think he made it understeer and then it snapped into oversteer, by himself, not by car design.
Yeah he's only a professional racing driver! what does he know

Nakaya always complain about none japanese cars, its just pride talking not the cars
He used to be a F3000 driver.
i agree with that. if he was a little more patient and clean, it couldve been just as fast
