Is it just me or is Henry's voice really relaxing?😅 Great video though and top tier cinematograpy as always❤️

Henry is the most underrated journalist in all of automotive journalism. I've followed him from EVO to Drivetribe and now here and he never disappoints.

Coming back to this video a couple of years later and it's still great. I forgot the line about the GT2 being the mad mate on Friday night for shots. Fantastic bit of writing.

i love the fact that you guys aren't drifting the whole episode :)

Your challenge to Porsche is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I’ld go even further and say with a base 911 powertrain, it could be an updated interpretation of the 912.

I’m with Henry. I want to see them come out with a more affordable rear engined 911 that goes back to the basics of simple interior (no one needs another computer in their car when we all have our smartphones), Manual transmission, smaller light weight design that can provide a dynamic driving experience. We don’t need another 911 trim to choose from that lays between the Base 911 and 911 S. If someone wanted to shed 20kg from their 911 they can easily do so by fitting a titanium exhaust, lighter rims, take out the rear seats, etc and reduce its weight even more than the T. I understand what Porsche was trying to accomplish here and feel Henry nailed it on the head with this review. Another great video from Carfection!

3:28 when you look to your friend hoping to share the moment with them but then you remember...

[albamotion]

Another first class video from Henry!
That conclusion summed what I thought the 911T should’ve been in the first place. Lower cost, lower weight, fixed option, entry level 911.

[GregWallis]

While an excellent car, to describe it as lightweight is deeply disingenuous. Knock off 150 kilos - that would be lightweight.

great content guys. Dare I say it? My favourite car channel on youtube at the moment!!

[akerr]

Great video, shocking price point! I think a 997 with minimal money spending on it and a few weight saving modifications is the car you’re talking about.

I always relax to Henry's voice then have a giggle at his name

A simple marketing ploy by Porsche to shift a load of base 911’s at £10k above base price just before the new 992 comes out

[Blizzier]

It's incredible how much I like to listen to Henry.

[Oktanow]

Couldn't agree more !! Thank you. Someboy finally understands. I drove all the 911 in my last video and that was my beef with the 911 and with the T.
The best part of Henry's videos, is the genuine opinion. Something one can relate to. And something very rare theese days.
On of the few motoring channels I enjoy watching - Mr. Catchpole - Good Man!

[mgmarrison]

One of the best reviews I've seen for a while. Would be nice to see them do the same with the Boxster!

[MrDallman]

As a 991 GTS owner and Porsche enthusiast for 35 years I just love your reviews ...compulsive viewing as always
Thanks Henry.

[anshuljain]

One after the other you guys make such beautiful videos that I spend all of my Internet data watching and rewatching this channel

[andrewmoorhouse]

Good video Henry as always. Your comment at the end is one of a true enthusiast: 'Bring us a stripped out 911 for less than a base Carrera'. Well, Porsche clearly did back then. 'Blame' the engineers, most likely. Trouble is, this is now and Porsche's business model is a little different these days. "Give them less and make them pay for it, they'll love it", I hear the marketing department shout. It's a win, win. For Porsche that is... No wonder they have a profit margin on their cars that other manufacturer's can only dream of. It's a fine line between buying into a brand with it's provenance, motorsport heritage and the cars it creates and being taken for a mug.

Your proposal to Porsche at the end of the film is so spot on! Bravo!!!
