LA TikToker uncovers three secrets on the 2025 Porsche 911 including a hands‑free trunk popper

The Porsche 911 has always been more about performance than party tricks.

But fitness influencer and car lover Mel Grace says there’s more to it than speed and status.

In a TikTok video now clocking up views by the minute, she shows off three ‘hidden’ features most owners don’t even know exist.

And yes, one of them involves opening the front trunk with a wave of your hand.

Easter eggs in the Porsche 911

Grace starts by showing off one of the most unexpected tricks. 

With her key fob tucked into her leggings, she glides a hand across the 2025 Porsche 911 bumper and the front trunk quietly pops open.

No buttons, no remotes, just a casual flick. 

Porsche says the sensor works only when the key is nearby, though some owners joke it’s too sensitive.

One commenter said his hood kept opening mid-car wash.

Still, it’s the kind of high-end convenience that makes you wonder how long before everyone else copies it.

Self-presenting door handles

Next up: handles that behave like they’ve been waiting for you all day.

When Grace walks up to her 2025 Porsche 911, the flush-mounted handles extend automatically.

A small but deeply satisfying moment of drama every time you approach.

No need to tug or tap anything – proximity does the work.

The push-button start (no more twist)

Finally, inside the cabin Grace points to what looks like a minor update.

But for long-time Porsche fans, it’s emotional.

Gone is the old twist-to-start switch that mimicked a key turn. 

In its place, a clean, modern start button tucked to the left of the steering wheel.

Purists hate it, but it’s winning others over.

“What’s hidden about a start button? It’s right there!” one commenter wrote. 

But to Grace, it’s part of the car’s quiet evolution.

A subtle handover from nostalgia to now.

And when you’re driving a 911 that starts itself and pops its own trunk, tradition can probably take a back seat.

Whether you call them gimmicks or upgrades, these tiny details show how Porsche keeps refining the everyday experience.

The 2025 911 may not shout about its secrets, but in Grace’s hands, they’re impossible to miss.

One swipe, one touch, one press at a time.
