MKBHD has purchased a new 2024-spec Porsche 911 Turbo S, departing from his Tesla Model S Plaid, which is currently up for sale. MKBHD’s rationale is straightforward; while acknowledging the Model S Plaid’s superior speed, he desired a true, purebred sports car. His decision is well-founded, as the 911 stands out as the purest sports car on the market, even if it may not be the fastest on paper according to the stats.

However, stats fail to convey the 911’s real-world speed adequately. It is phenomenally fast, particularly in corner entry and exit, throttle control and braking where it can outpace virtually any other sports car, supercar, or even hypercar on the market.

In any case, MKBHD explains why he chose to leave behind the ultra-tech Tesla Model S in favour of a more conventional, fossil fuel-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) car.
