A screen-free Porsche cabin gets Forrest's viewers talking
The Mission S walkaround passes four million views in a week spanning a Batman-inspired Rezvani, Mercedes nostalgia and Monza.

The Porsche Mission S is the BIG BROTHER to the 911. 😎
Forrest Jones pulls out a magnetic phone mount where a built-in infotainment screen might normally sit. That small piece of the Porsche Mission S walkaround has become a big talking point: viewers are discussing the screen-free dashboard, its potential to age well and the appeal of keeping the cabin focused on driving.
The week's most-watched upload has passed four million views. Forrest moves briskly from roof scoop and exposed rear cooling fans to cabin toggles and a gauge display that simplifies in track mode. The engine remains an open question: Porsche's Frank Wiesmann tells him its configuration is not decided yet. Commenters also keep returning to the exhaust note and the sound of the shifter.
It was the standout among four uploads, with a Batman-themed Rezvani and a look back at the Mercedes-Benz SLS Black Series supplying two very different kinds of automotive theater. His Monza post documented an Italian Grand Prix visit hosted by a cybersecurity sponsor.
Across the channel, daily viewing is running at nearly three times its usual level, while the subscriber count grew by about 10,000 over the week. Nearby in the motoring community, Adam LZ is also seeing a pronounced daily viewing lift; Engineering Explained is having a quieter spell than usual.
The Mission S and Rezvani currently bring the most momentum, but practical transport hasn't disappeared beneath the supercars. Forrest's September Chrysler Pacifica video remains among his fastest-moving uploads, continuing his long-running knack for making a minivan sound tempting.
