On a SoCal runway used by General Patton to train soldiers for WWII, we line up the Turbo for the first of 50 back-to-back launches. Porsche's PR man called this test "abusive." We think it's a fitting tribute to the 911's 50th anniversary. The Turbo, however, does not do 50 launches. It does 61, because we get woozy from acceleration and lose count.

Makes it hard to argue the price of a Porsche is too high, relative to its competitors. 50 max launches in a row would surely break almost any car let alone one that is pushing the boundaries of engineering. The notion of this test is almost absurd. The fact that the car did it no problem is incredible.

But apparently I'm the only one that noticed the counter went from 45 straight to 50 with no video skips inbetween and no other launches. That would make... 46, not 50... xD HOWEVER... I agree with your statement (and his) that the test is silly and absurd. ... but I'd do it, just to see if it could be done xD As much as I love Porsche though... I still wouldn't choose a fine Porsche over a fine Jeep. :P I just can't turn down a good Jeep Wrangler, even for one of these. xD

+Wild Cat No, i have a 911 991 Turbo S and under all weather conditions 2.6 was the best to reach. I also have a 997 with 620 BHp by chip and he does also not run faster than 2.6 sec.. At that numbers you will need verry soft rubber tires to deliver the speed, but they are actually not available and must pe produced extra for this. BTW below 15° the cars is at 2.6 sec. and above 30° the car is at ca. 3 sec. so the Porsche claim is for usual temperature and altitude. At 0° thw car could have the most performance, bu the tire grip is bad, so ca. 12° has the best performace with usual summer tires.

Bryan Doherty No, I'm a family man so both out of my price range at the moment and no way I could justify it - maybe when the kids grow up and leave home - for now I have to make do with a 4 door (with 400bhp, so it's still quite fun). My business partner has one, but he only does a few thousand km's in it a year, so it doesn't cause him any problems, but I've read of a lot of people having issues particularly with the earlier 991 911's when trying to use them as a daily driver - mostly electrical gremlins (though you may have seen the report about some models catching fire due to faulty gudgeon pins or something - pretty sure they have that sorted now) - I think they have just gotten so complex that Porsche are having problems with QC on them - no doubt they will sort it out in time - but then the next model will come out and it'll start again.

Well 400hp isn't anything to laugh at. Yea the GT3s catching on fire, they have that fixed.

Well thank you for the advice, if I ever get one you saved me headache and money

For my money, I'd still have the new 911 GT3. Yes it may have "only" 475 hp, but that's from a naturally-aspirated 3.8L H6. And the PDK in the GT3 has the cool feature where if one pulls back on both paddles at the same time, it's like putting the clutch in, and letting go is like dropping the clutch, for some Hooligan driving action. On regular paddle shift cars, doing that would just put the car into neutral. I'm surprised makers of dual-clutch cars haven't adopted that little, but superfun change. Even Porsche hasn't with their other PDK cars. And the GT3's stick now works like a proper sequential 'box's shifter: Pull back for an upshift and push forward for a downshift. And I've owned turbocharged cars, supercharged cars...but there is nothing like the sound and pull of a high-powered naturally-aspirated car. Especially straight 6's and H6's. Just my ever humble opinion.

goguhu Yeah, all other paddle shift cars would just go into neutral if someone pulls back on both paddles at the same time, but try it at speed. I saw a whole video where a Porsche factory guy talks about it. And it's only in the GT3. The PDK in the other cars is just like it was before. Like try it at low revs in second gear, build up some revs, let go, and see if you can get some donuts going. Or read the manual lol. It probably says exactly how it functions.

I'll put it on my list of stuff to try out :) Might be that this function got changed at some point in time (or that the TS produce too much torque and might shred the gearbox if you did that).

goguhu Yeah, as far as I know, they only made those tweaks to the PDK in the GT3 so that you can pull back on the paddles at any time, which again would be like putting the clutch in, and then letting go to "drop the clutch." Like a clutch kick to get a drift started-type situation.

If anything fails during the power train warranty it will be covered, they won't deny it from launch control usage. If you feel the effectiveness of launch control is diminished at all, i'm saying you could probably complain about it and get the clutches replaced. Either way, I wouldnt ever worry about it, the PDK is pretty solid from what I've seen.

Why all the hostility towards the GT-R? People, relax, they are both awesome cars lol. You guys are just as bad as the fanboys you ridicule. By the way, I want to clarify some things about the GT-R, because there is a swarm of misinformation regarding their transmissions. - Launching the GT-R does NOT void the warranty anymore. This has been fixed since 2010. - The 'glass transmissions' spoken of are the 2008 GT-R, which is 6 years old now. They are now much stronger. - Instead of voiding the warranty, launch control allowed for 4 consecutive launches, and is then locked out for 1.5 miles of driving. You can then launch it another 4 times. Unless you're launching your GT-R like the guy is in this Porsche, that's insignificant.

If I race a focus st and I beat him in my Brz. It is not because my car is faster. It is because I am a better driver than him. Launch control takes all the skill out of drag Raceing. Still a wonderful piece of technology.

Derek Ferrell Good point Derick. I know when to back off. The ST driver so confident I had to do it. I never take on the Civic Si drivers. They snap off shifts like clockwork. Most of the time I drive it like an economy car and enjoy 30+ MPG. At least until the road gets twisty.

wow WTF is this, how this is even possible?? On the first try doing lunch control on my BMW E60 M5 I broke the clutch :(( Sold the car and got my self my dream machine BMW E93 M3 and I NEVER attempt lunch control since I purchased, easy way to say I am afraid I will brake it again, even DCT is perfect compare to old SMG. I hate Porsche, and I think Porsche's are pricey pumped up VW Beetle's with a spoiler. Well done Porsche I think this is pushing the boundaries of engineering. In the future I just may buy one, I think this is the answer, but I will have to sell my organ parts to afford one.

That being said it's great to see how reliable Porsche is I doubt very much that any other car manufacture could do the same test without breaking down or like he said going into limp mode! This video made me laugh absolutely amazing:)
