And the thing is that in their M3 GTS vs the normal GT3 feature video,the GT3 pulled away easily,so this faster version of the already quick GT3 RS would instantly leave the BMW in centuries.
How can anyone make a dope car like this look boring, i feel no passion from this dude, might aswell be teaching Advanced maths, chemistry or Physics and if it really has to be cars maybe a Bristol or a Roller, but mos def not a car as hot as this, would have been more fun with Tiff needell, Jason Plato or even Clarkson
I have heard of rumours of a Flat-8 engine but I imaginge that would make the car overall inefficient over the Flat-6 engines in terms of fuel economy and performance.
@mattyoz0 Yea BITCH I can read where it says it's an RS too..but you made it sound like it wasn't a 997. Now fuck off and do something productive asshole.
GT3 RS 4.0 , R8 GT , M3 GTS , M3 CSL ... It's so stressing such cool cars have limited production . Revs up if you want them unlimited , so the car makers see this !
Totally agree with fenderusa I don't buy into all the flappy paddle stuff buttons for this buttons for that, I just wanna jump in the car turn the key put the car into gear and start nailing perfect heel and toe downshifts feeling involved with the car.I'd take a caterham over a Ferrari anyday unless it was the f40 though lol
Oh man... These souped up Porsches are so much fun to drive in a city where 35 mph is the speed limit!! Its crazy!!! They are specially worth the price because they look exactly (but more douchy) than a regular GT3!!!! AWESOME!!!!
@LinooneFan975 James wouldn't know the first thing to analize about this car, even tho he has a Porsche himself and pretty much likes Porsches in general, but mostly Boxters, lol.
@gweflj dated? this is the best type of sports car, not driving aids or comfort, just pure lightweight performance, just you an the car and nothing else!..i dont see how its flawed in any way?
@FenderUsa No double clutch transmission. Heavy steel chassis. Basic downforce implementation. Flawed weight distribution etc. A 458I is more advanced in every aspect.
@gweflj Porsche invented the dual clutch, and still makes the best one on the market, if they wanted it to have a DCT, it would. It doesn't have a dual clutch because its meant to be a driver's car and DCTs weight too much, it makes more downforce than a 458, costs less, the weight distribution is perfect considering where the engine is. Likely you haven't driven either of them so who are you to bash such a perfectly made car?
@dragonforce28000 its all up to your personal taste the mclaren has more curb appeal and is a little bit more flamboyant. they're both magnificent cars, this is more a purist car.
@VagMan123 notice how i have 73 likes and you have none. and no one can be a "dumbass" for having a different taste in cars than you, that just makes you look ignorant.
@VagMan123 i would like to know why you think the 458 is soooo much better than the gt3 rs... sounds like you think it is better because it is a ferrari
@kagolko Dude it is not all about a fraction of a second quicker from 0-60, the main difference between the gt2 and the gt3 is that the gt2 is turboed and the gt3 is naturally aspirated, some people like this because it is a purer experience and it is also higher revving.
@MrDas275 - so it's same like with LFA. people like it because it's pure engine and gearbox. no turbos and shit. OK than. Thanks a lot for explaining!!!
I keep asking myself how Porsche can make a finer car than the 997 series. These cars have now been refined and perfected to such a point that it is hard to imagine a more perfect sportscar, a more perfect Porsche. But everytime I have assumed Porsche could not do better than they have already done I have been wrong. We'll see...The 4 liter seems to be just the perfection of an idea that goes back to 1948 and earlier: Take one great idea and refine it, refine it, refine it...to Perfection
@gurlsingerfan they actually started with a pretty bad idea. they wouldnt need to refine it nearly as much if they had started off with proper engine placement
@gurlsingerfan Unfortunately the idea they started with is seriously flawed in the beginning. I bet you any money Porsche would be able to make a better car if they're not stuck with that stupid ass-mounted 6 cylinder engine.
@igotnoideawhattoput but if u think about it, u come to the conclusion that that ass-mounted engine Porsche insists in using is, much like it's never changing shape, one of it's defining features. Take Jennifer Lopez and that big beautiful fat ass, it's her defining feature when it comes to her body.
@rafa281 What amuses me is that critics can explain why the rear engined 911 is a terrible technical idea but harder to explain how the car has been successful (even legendary) for decade after decade as a sports car, sports racing car, rally car, and all round art piece, desired by well informed racers, sportscar enthusiasts and connoisseurs around the globe. How does one explain it? Can this many people be wrong for this many decades? The design just FEELS RIGHT, LOOKS RIGHT, and WORKS.
@igotnoideawhattoput I have heard that argument made many times. and it seems hard to overcome, but... History has not born out the argument that a mid engine Porsche has been better than the rear engine 911 (most folks still prefer the 911 over the Boxster or the Cayman), or that a front engine Porsche would be better (most folks still much prefer 911's to 924's, 944's or 928's. I love the Cayman, but the 911's still seem to be in a special place in comparison....
@gurlsingerfan Gee.... Maybe IF THEY MOVED THE DAMN ENGINE TO WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE that would be true. I don't doubt the strength of Porsche engineers, but maybe next time they should start with a design that gives them a hope of getting a balanced car without spending all of their engineering budget to overcome the flaws of a 1930s design.
@gurlsingerfan Well, for one, they can stop making them out of mild extruded steel like a Hyundai Sonata. Porsche is the only steel monocoque "super car" being produced on the planet.
@gurlsingerfan Don't get me wrong, I'd trade a kidney for a GT3 RS 4.0, but they are overpriced for what they are. There is no question that a lighter, stiffer, better balanced chassis would improve performance.
@lived666 Agreed on the price, but I have learned the first 2 rules about German cars (I have owned 3). First rule, they are always, always, overpriced. Second rule, people keep buying them! So that is not exactly an incentive for the Germans to drop prices...:-)
@gurlsingerfan have you considered that because its over priced people will likely to buy it 2nd hand (if you have kept it in a good condition and it is the right model with the right specs), which means that the depreciation of German Cars are much less then other cars like Hyundais, Alfas, and even japanese cars. Therefore theoretically you only pay a little more to get the best quality in the world, because as you sed the first hand price is so high, the 2nd hand market will always be there?
@gurlsingerfan by saying "people keep buying them" it will also imply that it has an arguably larger second hand market which makes its depreciation livable. Therefore you don't actually pay that much compared to another country's car for the best quality. and they are really good.
@Desmonddd2002 yes, I have heard that...the case: total cost of ownership is very reasonable given the whole cycle of ownership. There is something else, not often talked about: The German makers, (Porsche, BMW, Mercedes) were always brilliant at not undercutting their own designs. A 1968 Cadillac looks ancient today, but a 1968 Porsche 911 still looks very contemporary given that it is 43 years old! Likewise, BMW Baveria's. They develop a design, not outdate it out of existance.
@gurlsingerfan yeah thats true like very very few american cars would be desirable today (i admit that there is like a mustang or something) but if you consider Alfas, old Mercedes, old Jaguars, ferraris, even old lancias they are still very much desirable today.....
@gurlsingerfan well they could finally admit the engine is in the wrong place. things have moved on the last 60 years, you don't see modern formule one cars with the engine in the front, and no downforce. don't get me wrong, porsche did a great job of perfecting an outdated idea.
@gurlsingerfan Haha, was thinking the exact same thing after the second gen 996 GT3 RS, and then came the 997 GT3 RS and I said the same thing again, and then the gen 2 997 GT3 RS, and again... and now this. I don't know how Porsche does it but the important thing is that they do, and keep doing it.
Go ahead Porsche, make the Cayenne, the Panamera, and even the 'Cajun' - it's all good if you keep making cars like this one.
@gurlsingerfan My thoughts exactly.How to perfect perfection?Seen any spyshots 2 hint about the changes? See EVOTV`s 997 GT3 RS vs. Ferrari 458 italia.Chris Harris explains it so well.Presented as a kinda "the last of the old,the first of the new" reffering 2 how sportscars used to be(997) and how itwill be(458) and hes such a good presentor,he gets the point across so well.So 4 Porsche 2 remain PORSCHE there is no way 2 go but 4wards if u can understand.4wards beeing stuff we dont want on a 911
@gurlsingerfan To be honest, the 4.0 is an example of Porsche continuously refining a bad idea until they reach perfection. Just wait until 2050 when the Cayman has had as much engineering as the current 911. That will be true perfection.
@marshknute 2050 ya say? I would be 91 years old then,,,,if I make it that long I will give it a test drive! :-) By the way, I am not one of the 911 fans who will beat up on the Cayman, I think it is a wonderful bit of work, I thought they got the styling just right on it, a bit retro but not too much....it is just that the 911's are in a different realm realy, as much technological art pieces as cars.
@gurlsingerfan finally someone agrees with me on Porsche; everyone blabs about how we get the same thing every year from Porsche, but if it is not broken, don't fix it!
@pfflyer15 Oddly enough, I was just watching a clip from Fellini's great film,,,"8 1/2"...in the film Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale step out of a theatre, and there on the curb, her car...a Porsche 356. Even in black and white, the pure shape, the pure idea of the thing...so pretty, so perfectly right. In shades of black and white, Claudia Cardinale standing with a 356 in the background behind her, every fashion photographer since has wanted a shot that pretty, that timeless. :-)
id like them to keep the 911 and replace the back seats with the engine. CAN U IMAGINE how awesome they would become? i know its famous for the RR but times have changed. If they keep the RR layour it will be still good. but it wont be able to handle those newer MR supercars that are coming up.
@mrbenyong Not all 911's are RR layout, the 911 turbo is AWD. But take away that rear engine and take away 911 heritage. Porsche has been so adamant on not changing the layout and they have figured out ways to get around the crappy handling characteristics of RR layout and I don't think they'd throw that away.
@cocoabiscuits and your not gonna get on khunopie ass for saying "The Ryan Dunn edition has extra cup holders, ashtrays and no seatbelts" ?? i wasnt tryin to be a dick, i meant it in a loving way for porsche to actually show they cared. but oh well
@hondacar There are spy videos out on the new one already. The change is even more subtle than from the 996 to the 997, with a slightly wider track and some revised headlights. It's hard to tell exactly how it'll look because they've got a bit of camouflage but expect it to look like a 911. And dated or not, it's got the best aerodynamics in the supercar business (drag coefficient around 0.28 vs 0.31 from Ferrari's lowest-drag car) and I think they look great.
sorry if this is a n00b question, but what are the differences between the GT2 RS and the GT3 RS is one more track orientated and the other more road?
Call me racist, but I've always disliked it when reviewers spin the back tires in a car that's built for grip. Its like banging a hot blond and turning the lights off....
If I had the money to buy this car, I wouldnt. Cuz I live in a place where there are too many ghetto thieves. I would spend it on a toyota supra and buy some guns.
Once again Porsche built a very competent car. While recent production cars tend to overwhelm you with technology that leads to a syntetic driving experience, Porsche shows that a perfectly set up chassis and a proper manuel can bring out the most engaging drivers car on the market today. Sure Ferrari might be more exclusive, but every drivers driver will prefer the GT3 on a track or winding road. No wonder you'll see countless GT3s on trackdays all around the world.

@gurlsingerfan My thoughts exactly.How to perfect perfection?Seen any spyshots 2 hint about the changes? See EVOTV`s 997 GT3 RS vs. Ferrari 458 italia.Chris Harris explains it so well.Presented as a kinda "the last of the old,the first of the new" reffering 2 how sportscars used to be(997) and how itwill be(458) and hes such a good presentor,he gets the point across so well.So 4 Porsche 2 remain PORSCHE there is no way 2 go but 4wards if u can understand.4wards beeing stuff we dont want on a 911

@gurlsingerfan To be honest, the 4.0 is an example of Porsche continuously refining a bad idea until they reach perfection. Just wait until 2050 when the Cayman has had as much engineering as the current 911. That will be true perfection.

@marshknute 2050 ya say? I would be 91 years old then,,,,if I make it that long I will give it a test drive! :-) By the way, I am not one of the 911 fans who will beat up on the Cayman, I think it is a wonderful bit of work, I thought they got the styling just right on it, a bit retro but not too much....it is just that the 911's are in a different realm realy, as much technological art pieces as cars.

@gurlsingerfan finally someone agrees with me on Porsche; everyone blabs about how we get the same thing every year from Porsche, but if it is not broken, don't fix it!

@pfflyer15 Oddly enough, I was just watching a clip from Fellini's great film,,,"8 1/2"...in the film Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale step out of a theatre, and there on the curb, her car...a Porsche 356. Even in black and white, the pure shape, the pure idea of the thing...so pretty, so perfectly right. In shades of black and white, Claudia Cardinale standing with a 356 in the background behind her, every fashion photographer since has wanted a shot that pretty, that timeless. :-)

i find it amusing and they announce a "new" Porsche 911 and claim it to be "the most exclusive Porsche" or whatever
rafa281 8 months ago
id like them to keep the 911 and replace the back seats with the engine. CAN U IMAGINE how awesome they would become? i know its famous for the RR but times have changed. If they keep the RR layour it will be still good. but it wont be able to handle those newer MR supercars that are coming up.
mrbenyong 8 months ago
@mrbenyong Not all 911's are RR layout, the 911 turbo is AWD. But take away that rear engine and take away 911 heritage. Porsche has been so adamant on not changing the layout and they have figured out ways to get around the crappy handling characteristics of RR layout and I don't think they'd throw that away.

hondacar 8 months ago
@hondacar There are spy videos out on the new one already. The change is even more subtle than from the 996 to the 997, with a slightly wider track and some revised headlights. It's hard to tell exactly how it'll look because they've got a bit of camouflage but expect it to look like a 911. And dated or not, it's got the best aerodynamics in the supercar business (drag coefficient around 0.28 vs 0.31 from Ferrari's lowest-drag car) and I think they look great.

sorry if this is a n00b question, but what are the differences between the GT2 RS and the GT3 RS is one more track orientated and the other more road?
irishgandalf757 8 months ago
@irishgandalf757 That's a good question...
I think the gt2 is a light version of the Turbo, the gt3 is natural aspirated and was designed from the ground for the track...
But there's more to it certanly....

@sarokas12 thank you for that clarification
irishgandalf757 8 months ago
@irishgandalf757 the GT2 RS is twinturbocharged, where the GT3 RS is NA (Naturally Aspirated)
from the reviews i've seen, the GT2 RS is like an unleashed beast, while the GT3 RS is more poise ...
that's what i can tell you really, without bothering with mechanical stuff ..

Once again Porsche built a very competent car. While recent production cars tend to overwhelm you with technology that leads to a syntetic driving experience, Porsche shows that a perfectly set up chassis and a proper manuel can bring out the most engaging drivers car on the market today. Sure Ferrari might be more exclusive, but every drivers driver will prefer the GT3 on a track or winding road. No wonder you'll see countless GT3s on trackdays all around the world.
