James’s reaction after launching it for the first time might be my favorite moment in the history of the channel
-
The way this looks after soo many years makes me understand Porsche's simplistic design style. It simply stands the test of time effortlessly
-
I have to say, this might be the best review I have EVER seen in terms of properly communicating what it must be like for "normal people" like me to experience driving a true hypercar. It was exhilarating just to watch, and the thought that I'll never be able to experience something like that makes me emotional all on its own. What a fantastic opportunity you guys were given, and props for doing such a great job of communicating it so that we laypeople could live vicariously through your experience.
-
Even after 10 years, the 918 still feels fresh!
-
That Porsche looks like it hasn’t aged a day since last decade. It would look new if it were released today. What an incredible piece of technology.
-
It’s awesome to see the authentic, raw emotion and lack of composure from you guys when you honestly experience something so unique!
-
For those interested, this has AWD and 4 wheel steering. This car has 500 tq at 800 rpm, with a max torque of 944. This was the first production road car to lap the Nürburgring in under 7 minutes at 6:57, beating the previous record, Dodge Viper ACR, by 14 seconds!
-
I work at Porsche, and let me tell you, they are working on a new Hypercar for production. Great things coming from Porsche, always!
-
“I’d take this over an LFA.” Enough said. My ultimate dream car.
-
16:57 "This is one of those cars they threw every bit of knowledge they had at it" one of the most accurate sentences said in history
-
james' demonstration of the throttle response at 5:05 ..... it's crazy that i will never be able to drive this car but in those ten seconds, i understood immediately what it must be like. just amazing capability to be able to convey that in a video.
-
This is one of the greatest car reviews the internet has ever seen. I'm still smiling :) Just the pure joy of driving an astounding car. If I can speak for all performance car nerds out there, thank you very much for sharing this with us!
-
Man getting older definitely warps your sensation of time... I can't wrap my head around the fact that the 918 (and the LaFerrri /P1) came out a full decade ago. Feels like yesterday. 😢😮
-
959, Carrera GT and the 918, the lineage of the Überporsche. I can't wait to see what the next iteration will be.
-
I have never seen James get on the throttle so much before! He really got hooked on that 918. 😅 5:46 Haaaaa! 🤣 If it wasn't raining right now, I'd get on my Hayabusa and go for a little ride. I got a craving for adrenaline no
-
The Engine itself is a masterpiece. The LMP2 RS Spyder Heart used in a road car is mega. And Fun fact. The 963 engine is based on the 918/RS Spyder engine as well.
-
It’s amazing when two regular joes review incredible machinery and you hear the visceral excitement and glee. Sometimes the pros on the tv shows get so use to these cars that the sensation isn’t felt.
-
These boys have a way of articulating and demonstrating how a car FEELS to be in, to own, to drive, like no other presented channel.
-
When the Holy Trinity of hypercars 1st debuted, the 918 seemed the most pedestrian when it came to looks and everyday usability. The design has aged well, and I actually like it more now, although it would be a tough choice among all 3. They really need to channel more 918 pizzazz into the next Boxter/Cayman.

959, Carrera GT, 918...love that Porsche just throws out an absolute masterpiece ever decade or so
