Doug Demuro’s 911 S/T Review
Doug starts by calling the 911 S/T the ’ultimate Porsche 911’, before going on his usual breakdown of all its ’quirks and features’. The 911 S/T is the spiritual successor to the 2016 911 R, essentially a GT3 RS with a manual transmission.

CarWow 911 S/T Review
Mat Watson gets behind the wheel of the 911 S/T and wonders whether he made a mistake, as in the video he is 3 weeks away from receiving his own 911 GT3 RS. He also gets to speak with Mr. GT himself - Andreas Preuninger who shares his views on the S/T. Matt who has his channel Mat Watson Cars recently documented his 500-mile road trip where he took his GT3 RS and the S/T to compare which is best.
Harry’s Garage 911 S/T Review
Harry asks the question if the S/T is the best 911 ever or just an overpriced GT3 special edition, notice a similar theme to these reviews?
The Throttle House Porsche 911 S/T Review
James and Thomas did a hilarious version of the golden ticket scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, implying that the only way to buy an S/T potentially would be if they found a golden ticket. While both equally loved the S/T, however, Thomas wishes the S/T was more accessible to a wider customer base - owing to its high $2,90,000 starting price tag.
The Intercooler 911 S/T Review
My favorite review so far, where the team at The Intercooler pits the S/T with another special edition 911 - the Dakar. We get to see two 911s purpose-built for two different purposes, going head-to-head and answering questions that no one has asked before. The Dakar is a fantastic road car, despite it being built for rougher terrain.
Top Gear’s 911 S/T Review
Associate Editor Tom Ford gets up close and personal with two 911 S/Ts and falls fully in love with the car. He even claims it is "better than a GT3 RS". Andreas Preuninger makes an appearance in this review as well where he gives us the tagline for the S/T - "It is the 60th-anniversary birthday present, we made for ourselves" Top Gear also put out another video where they took the S/T to the track to see how it would be.
Engineering Explained 911 S/T Review
We get two Jasons - Jason Fenske, host of Engineering Explained, and the legendary Jason Cammisa of Hagerty as they take the S/T for a spin. As per the usual from Engineering Explained, we get a detailed technical analysis of the S/T, a car Jason calls the ’best car he has ever driven’.
PistonsHeads 911 S/T Review
Matt from Pistonheads does a full walk-around review of the 911 S/T with Andreas Preuninger.
The Smoking Tire 911 S/T Review
An interesting video where Matt Farah compares the 911 S/T to the 911 GT3 Touring. The best way to compare these two? Drive them back to back on the same day and on the same road.

Shmee, a.k.a Tim Burton describes the 911 S/T as the embodiment of the ’ultimate in driving experience’.

Bonus: Savagegeese 911 S/T Review
We’re fans of the Savagegeese channel here on Motorheads for how technical they get on some of their deep dives, and I simply couldn’t leave this one out where they go over the 911 you want, but can’t have.
So there you have it, not 10, but 11 different reviews of a very special 911. Although all of them offer different perspectives, everyone is united in their opinion that the S/T is one of the best 911s ever. Phrases like the ’ultimate 911’ or the ’best driving 911’ are thrown at the S/T a lot in these videos, which is saying a lot. The Porsche 911 S/T embodies the essence of the modern 911, offering a thrilling and uncompromised driving experience.
The lightest 992 prioritizes driver engagement and timeless design over technological advancements, delivering a truly exceptional and collectible performance car. Despite its $290,000 MSRP, the 911 S/T is well worth the investment and is expected to appreciate significantly in value.
