The Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweight is the First 9-Second Factory 911! - One Take

How significant is the $10,000 lightweight package for the 992 Porsche Turbo S? It subtracts 80 lbs from the overall package, resulting in 0-60 times in the *low 2's* and a quarter mile number in the 9's at 140 MPH. This is an insanely quick car, especially for only (I know, "only") $200,000. The world's most well rounded daily driver supercar has only gotten better, and faster accelerating than any 911 before it.

Porsche provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

No Porsche will ever be faster than me skipping your sponsored segment!

[plutus]

Power to the Ground is what Porsche is all about.
HP means NOTHING without grip.

[satalac]

Porsche always gets crap for the 911 never really changing, just evolving. Porsche engineers have pretty much perfected this car because of that. It's an incredible achievement. Kudos to Porsche for making this. Hopefully one day I can own one.

[drunkpolack]

So it’s as fast as a plaid, doesn’t have a fisher price interior and can actually handle and brake.

[yyyyyeeeee]

Its always funny you can instantly tell the difference between new and old videos in the reccomended feed because all of the new ones Matt is doing the "Alg-O-rithm face"

[boogboog]

10k to remove sound deadening and equipment porsche is genius marketing 😄

[lKingRichardl]

This man is one of few who are willing to drive at a speed well beyond anyone normal's comfort level and give his thoughts on the car at the same time.

[vette]

For my sensibilities, it seems like Porsche always engineers the best possible “thing” among its competition (whatever that thing may be, and at wherever it’s price point lands). Love the brand

[barangoran]

This is obviously the best car right now, but the lightweight package doesn't make much sense to me. The normal Turbo S is fast enough but comfier, and the GT3 is lighter and more track focused.

[flacjacket]

10 dB is a lot more than double the sound, sound energy doubles every 3 dB so 10dB louder is more than 8 times the sound energy in the cabin. That's huge, that's the difference between an S class and a WRX.

[brantcrockett]

Go Porsche! Turbo S is my eventual goal, always has been. Can't wait

[GvR]

I love just listening to the knowledge this man has about automobiles. The passion comes through and I envy how much he enjoys his job

[mblondon]

I picked up my 992 Turbo S a week ago and I’m still in fricking dream land 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏼

[tmolne]

As a factory tech I can say I don’t see these in the shop for many big issues. Our sports cars are actually our most reliable platforms because we control the R&D on them from start to finish, and know people intend on keeping them for a long time. I actually prefer the feel of the 991.2 better but haven’t driven the lightweight package 992 yet.

[Cloxxki]

Rear steer in a 2-seater that manages 9s, that's quite something.

[isaac-shapiro]

Porsche is the ultimate manufacturer that understands how to optimize and create the MOST efficient engineered products. If you think about it, this is Bugatti Veyron 16.4 fast but more daily friendly.

[BUEAU]

Porsche 911. Nuff said. I was born in '72 and this car has been top of list my entire life. Astounding feat of engineering.

[JordanPayneLV]

I hope one day I can afford a high end Porsche, easily the best cars in the world imo

[techtard]

I am intrigued. But, I think the GT3 Touring is still the one for me.

[imSchwaggy]

Imagine catless downpipes, tune, and some slicks 🤣 prob 8 seconds. This is insanity.
