New Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 - evo Magazine EXCLUSIVE!

[rosettenkoenig2000]

best ever!

[marcelskaterkid94]

Best 911 ever to me

[japster1113]

wow i just found out in this vid that CF is lighter if painted rather than when its clear coated(?)... now i know... :D

[imperial1ist]

height difference!

[mrkerpal2]

the only porsche I would ever buy

[NorCalsRedline]

Well this is one of my all time favorite cars.

[DJTRANCE2011]

Can someone answer my question please? Is it me or did he said that the engine develope for this Porsche was made in the U.S.

[rittse]

@DJTRANCE2011 I think he meant the saying "There's no replacement for displacement" is American.

[CastleRockable]

twin turbo dat :D

[jayman81424]

@CastleRockable if you want a twin turbo...thats the gt2 rs

[CastleRockable]

@jayman81424 GT2 RS is 3.6 L TTed =______= 3.6L does not equal to 4.0L i learned in calculus =_____=

[jayman81424]

@CastleRockable oh we got a smart ass..didnt say it was the same engine.. i said if you want twin turbo thats the gt2

[tanattecnocraft]

Vinyl wrap the pre preg carbon fiber to make it lighter, rather than painting and clear coating it.

[McFly2015AD]

I had a 4.0L 6 cyl Ford once . . . it made 98HP not fair :)

[itsmeTIBOR]

@McFly2015AD "Porsche, there is no substitute"

[omfgwtfbbq90]

Someday you'll be mine... Someday...

[redphiveII]

one day I have to buy a porsche

[viasevenvai]

In San Antonio there is a GT3 RS 4.0 next to a GT2RS in the show room. I had to look twice because from everyone online; word is both cars are sold out.....and there was both of them.

[EduWestCoastRap]

"Top speed for me is a really buy product"

[Ktmzqw]

@EduWestCoastRap "By-product": A by-product is a secondary product derived from a manufacturing process

[EduWestCoastRap]

@Ktmzqw oh okay, I got it wrong cuz I'm not english, thanks for the correction

[StreetKingEvolution]

I'm gonna miss these days :(

[Ianiblacksea]

I <3 it .....I hope someday i will win at the lottery..next day i will buy it..! :))

btw whats the name of the song from the background ?

[FujiR500]

Raise hands toes n fingers to see the next 911 GT3 RS with a 4.2L Flat 8......ME!!! HI-5

[SixCommunists]

I don't know why people ever get excited about a new 911 coming out.

Why don't they actually try to get somewhere aesthetically, having more colours and vinyls in different places is nothing special, the car becomes a bit faster, the price becomes dearer. 911 GT2, 911 GT2 RS, 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, they all look the same damnit!

[Barachat]

@SixCommunists Why change? Their formula works, their cars are basically perfect for their intended purpose. People who want a 911 WANT a 911, not something else. This might sound risky, business-wise, but it has proven to be an extremely successful marketing strategy, wouldn't you agree?

[denalibandit]

@Barachat - Completely agree... When I was fortunate enought to cash in my stock options and also promoted to CFO, I was invited to drive the Ferrari California.. I told my wife that I've always wanted a Porsche 911 since I was a kid... so we bought one. Still brings the kid in me each time I drive it.. The shape of the car and the driving experience is what makes 911 a legend.

[Mokhas45]

@SixCommunists It's called Pedigree, man!

Normally car manufacturers make other modells but the 911 has history, has a concept behind it...can you see this in any other sportscar?

[similaritiesendhere]

EA pulled the Porsche license from Forza 4. I don't know about you guys but I never have to buy an EA game ever again.

[aikerz07]

you'll get the same design after 20 years.

[click1click1click]

THUMBS UP IF U WOULDNT HAVE PAINTED THE CARBON-FIBER!

[chameleon1001]

I really love and appreciate just how sophisticated and classy, Andreas Preuninger is in the interview, he's a very modest and understated man and I have to say I respect that a lot

[alwayshutch]

"There's no replacement for displacement for displacement, is American, but it's still true" very, very funny comment.

[luigibattista10]

This car is awesome but I still would choose the 458Italia.

[senyo02]

Can anybody get me 125 bhp/litre from my 2.0 mazda 3 engine.... 250hp sounds much more interesting ;)

[bapehead27]

@senyo02 Call Cosworth, buy a Formula Atlantic engine, should be cheap, say $20K??

[InitialDAmine]

@senyo02 You are just forgeting that your mazda has a big turbo sticked to your for leg i mean cylinder engine.This car engine is NA! the GT2 RS which is turbo charged has 620hp from a 3.6L engine thats about 173bhp/litre

[senyo02]

@InitialDAmine 3.8l engine and I was referring to NA cars...but thanks for the shout out

[InitialDAmine]

@senyo02 The GT2RS has a 3.6L and how were you refereing to an N.A if you are comparing the power per litre to a Mazda 3 MPS engine?

[bingrasm]

@Mclarenmercedes the 458's actual output is 562hp/4,5l=124,88 , so is nearly equal. But the point is that the porshe gives that 125hp per liter output at a lower rotation, so is better. in fact this porshe engine must be the best stock engine in the world. at least on paper.

[shufflerXTC]

this is an unbelievable car, porsche always made great cars for the track and for everyday use and the amount of power they can deliver from that engine is simply amazing. i think the 458 is the ugliest car ferrari has made and the worst aswell. putting cheap glue in the engine bay that catches on fire once it heats up to a curtain temperature its just not ferrari

[seroyer2]

0:36, bout time them fancy Europeans listen to the real racers, yee haw!!! my viper is 8L of pure power almost 400 hp that's right boys you herd me right 400!!!

[KoukiMS6]

I wonder what person said, man I love the GT3 RS but boy is it slow and soft?

To that person who thought a GT3 RS wasn't enough, thank you!

[slick88zx]

What a well spoken, classy individual and a brilliant engineer to boot. If I can ever afford a Porcshe they will get my business.

[loudblazer]

@slick88zx Chris Harris was an excellent interviewer as well.

[valensi1988]

Now we have something to put just a step behind the RS 2.7, but just because the RS 2.7 is the greatest interpretation of road going race car ever made.

Now think seriously as a car enthusiast: Porsche is the only one car worth buying for driving.

No elecrtonic crap, no useless amounts of power, no "look at me I'm humongously expensive".

Pure driving experience.

[arlingo]

This vs GT2 RS

[ThatStuttgartKid]

@arlingo gt2 would win.... 120 more horsepower

[JundaComputersGmbH]

I'm the 50,000th viewer !!!

[dzdeal]

@JundaComputersGmbH So you have won a white Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 :D

[venom5809]

I want his jacket, it is beautiful.

[chameleon1001]

@venom5809

I wish I could find it online! I would so love to buy one!

[paikmendez]

surely this GT3 4.0 has more BHP per pound though...i just did a mental conversioin and i think that it's under 3000 lbs which is inasasne...i 'm so excited aboutht ish car thatn i can't even wirthe....write, correctly....

OMG...porsche BABY!

[paikmendez]

the gt3 997 used to be the NA engine with the greates BHP per liter until the 458 came out...then again, the 458 has direct injection and i THINK the gt3 still has PFI..

[nigelpepper]

What a pleasant chap. Really good to see a ruthlessly engineering led product come to fruition; especially one of the brilliant minds at Porsche. These cars I'm sure, will make a great investment. Think i'd end up putting too many miles on it though!

[nigelpepper]

LMAO 0:37 "There's no replacement for displacement; this is American but it's still true!!" Subtle dig there Andreas!! Excellent work. What a machine.

[neovologitec]

top gear should test this car

i just wanna see where this goes on the powerboard

[mustachos1993]

Haha "socially very acceptable" >> looking at you wannabe supercar/ tuner- carbon fibre show-off :D

[BrantFortunate]

CHRIS HARRIS!

[TheFunanimation]

This is a real car fuck ferrari and lamborghini !!!

[SaveNurburgring]

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 !

[kevinylee127]

i'll be choosing this over the 458, mp4 12c, aventador, gt2 rs, dbs, sls... etc.

[MultiTopgearfan]

@kevinylee127 please tell me u were drunk while watching this...

[Astralwurksdk]

I love that Porsche care far more about performance than looks and flash. The fact that u can't even get a manual Ferrari anymore proves they lost their way

[cardude1992]

simply amazing

[CJAEY]

What even blows my mind more is the power that comes out of a 4 liter flat 6 and we all know Porsche's have very little power to drivetrain loss. 1270kg is very impressive for a street car. 

[CJAEY]

A true race bred car indeed.

[pmenadue]

This is magnificent - and this is a car that not only performs, but is reliable and everyday useable.

[Truemoderate]

Who wants to buy a slightly used low mileage kidney?! I LOVE and need this Porsche.

[mikeyp1974]

this is the thing about porsche, honestly, imagine you had a few million knocking about and was looking at cars to buy, if you bumped into Andreas Preuninger in the showroom you just get the sense that this guy REALLY knows his job..and if he's put some input into this car. you'd buy it there and then no need for a test drive...

[mikeyp1974]

2 very big hitters from the motoring world, my favorite porsche by far, i so want one

[bloodpig101]

I still prefer the 458...but if I was ever going to own a Porche, this would be it! (...in black though...).

[CHILLIBMX]

amazing power output from a 4L cant believe that power comes from a naturally aspirated engine good work Porsche

[Sigrafix]

I like this... I like this a lot.

[NaziZombies105]

bogueji1 if you could afford it you wouldnt be rating on it

[muratguzeldere]

i dont understand why it is slower than the 3.8 at top speed.

[InitialDAmine]

@muratguzeldere aerodynamics, this car is more about handling just look at the elements added, this car is faster in every aspect except top speed (and i wont believe it till i see it)

[ADuckOnQuack97]

too street rcing ish for me but expensive and well manufactured company. wish i could afford it

[bonespg1971]

I need to make more money!!! Harris I can't believe you get to do this for a living.

[v1wrc]

@sultanabran1 very true apart from the f40 though.

[sultanabran1]

Porsches are for drivers. Ferraris are for show ponies.

[Xr08paradox]

is this a naturally aspirated 4.0 liter?

[1300l]

@Xr08paradox i think its twin turbo

[freddytommek]

@1300l why do you think that ?? of course its not a twin turbo ...

[1300l]

@freddytommek I may be wrong but i think it is cos all GT3 are twin turbo and that amount of bhp in a natural engine 4.0 at this RPM sounds abit too mutch for me.

I may be wrong tho

[apiah4]

@1300l no GT3 has a turbo, just the GT2 has...

[nahhansnah]

@1300l it´s no twin turbo, what do you think? it´s a GT3 not a GT2 you know nothing!

[nahhansnah]

@Xr08paradox yes of course!

[monsterenergy713]

Lol someone called it a sleeper. It's a Porsche and look at that wing! It's hardly a sleeper. Great car though

[giovanni09pso]

I NEED A REVIEW BY CHRIS HARRIS!!! NOW!!!!! (and of the GT2RS as well!!)

[davidajgp]

"No need to boast" hahhah :D

[davidajgp]

No need to boast,  hahah :D

[mcorwin129]

Less talking, just give Chris the keys

[Beolex]

What's the song at the end?

[BrendanAndrews]

This is a supercar to get the groceries. That's how my dad describes his 911 anyway, I fucking hope I have the money someday to buy a 911 of some sort.

[VideoVictor68]

My Facebook photo is the dash of this car so in love I would love to drive it(someday)

[UnSaintLike]

This car just screams COME ON,ABUSE ME ON A TRACK AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S BOSS!

[JamrockBoi90]

Awesome car. Where does one get more info on this untreated carbon fiber?

[Bravo21]

The ultimate sleeper...who needs Turbos, lol

[McLarenMercedes]

Whoa, 500hp from 4,0 liters equals 125 hp/liter (and this is NOT a turbo or supercharged engine), which is only bettered by Ferrari's 458 Italia with 126,5hp/liter, although knowing Porsche's often conservative horspower outputs and Ferrari's overoptimistic figures I'd say Porsche has it beaten.

[z00h]

@McLarenMercedes litre

[XcopeS]

@McLarenMercedes I tend to believe that from 2 reasons: first the one you mentioned, second, that coming from someone with that name makes me think it's not 'fanboyism'.

[TheRIGEL1982]

@McLarenMercedes overoptimistic?for example the 599 gtb on evo test bench had 630 hp and 670 nm of torque instead 620 hp and 608 nm

[neezer77]

The absolute pinnacle of 9-1-1. The very best one they've ever made. Total desirability.

[blaze363]

@ 4:28 NO NOT GOOD BYE!! =(

[Alexisonscope]

I want one.

[idin1976]

Where can I trade my soul?

[idin1976]

Where can I trade my soul?

[komine866]

My God...

[fastlanetravelinc]

Great video... how about THAT car on one of our Porsche Driving Tours?

[melittleflower]

The best road 911 so far! Stunning.

[TheCruizer]

LOL, at the beginning, Chris looks like "omg, I can't believe, they made it even better!". Or he thought "Stop talking, give me the key, gimme the key, gimme that f***ing key!" ;)

[RINO92xxl]

not bad for a beetle.

[p0rsch997]

I didn't understand why it's not faster than the 3.8 ?

[LG396]

@p0rsch997 More downforce = More drag.

[LankyArcher]

@uploadfreedom

You obviously don't 'get' this car....

It has a manual gearbox as this is the best way to involve the driver... That is the whole point of the RS...

Anyone who enjoys the craft of driving, prefers a manual gearbox, in this respect Ferrari are going the wrong way.

[uploadfreedom]

I feel that in any 911 where they remove the back seats the engine should be moved to that location for better balance. They did this for the cayman and the results are amazing. Also for track work they need a track gearbox, they talk so much about how close it is to a track car but the gearbox is so far from it. There should be a paddle shift option for the car with straight cut gears just like the track car. What do you think?

[vix121]

@uploadfreedom Straight cut gears for a road car??? Are you crazy

[Justbeatit999]

@uploadfreedom

Removing the rear engine layout? That would go against all logic. The very reason that porsche is so successful in racing is that they have perfected the rear engine layout.

[uploadfreedom]

@Justbeatit999 So let me understand this your logic is that the rear engine layout is better then the mid engine layout? That would make Ferrari, Audi, Lamborghini, Pagani, and so on all wrong?

[melittleflower]

@uploadfreedom The rear engine is the 911's defining feature, always has been and always will be. The point is Porsche have not only just made it work but totally perfected it.

That's all that matters.

[uploadfreedom]

@melittleflower I guess Porsche listened to me, they are going to call it a 2013 Porsche 961. As to not upset 911 people they will leave that name alone, however the new car will sit above the 911 in terms of performance.

[cmac1021]

@Justbeatit999 Porsche is so successful with the rear engined layout because they are stubborn Germans and refuse to give it up, which I love them for, they've perfected it over the years and have it about down pat right now. Porsche will admit that the Cayman is a better handling car than the 911, but no car does so much with so little as a 911.

[michaelthepsycho]

I love how he keeps mentioning not showing off carbon fiber. I don't get the obsession with the LOOKS of carbon fiber. Just paint it and be functional other manufacturers. Otherwise, it's just bling and bragging rights. Smart Germans; doing it right.

[danthemanpatrick]

100% substance + 0% style. I love it. It's almost like a Caterham Superlight CSR with a 4.0L flat-six out back. And 125 hp/L normally aspirated!? The world record for the most normally aspirated hp/L of any stock, road-legal mass produced reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engine is only 125.111 hp/L! (Ferrari 458 Italia) Porsche know how to make a sportscar.

[ImperiumAO]

Could please somebody come to clean the jerk out of my Keyboard? I guess I'm going to rob a bank to get one of these!!!! Tillt he day I can get one I will ratter enjoy My Volkswagen Golf Mk2 turbo haha =P

Nice car, well done Porsche!!!

[BeverlyHillsPorsche]

We're getting three of them!

[danthemanpatrick]

@BeverlyHillsPorsche Are all three already spoken for?

[BeverlyHillsPorsche]

@danthemanpatrick One out of three are spoken for so far.

[danthemanpatrick]

@BeverlyHillsPorsche Mmmm. I really wish I could tell you that two are now officially spoken for.

[alucard0712]

I don't like Porsches at all, but...this...car...is...oh my God!

[3yar1983]

did he say that it's not faster than the 3.8 rs

hell . . why is that

[Nik84811]

@3yar1983 Because, although its got 500 horsepower and is lighter, the drag coefficient is 0.34 (which is i think a little worse than the gt3 rs) and because it only makes that "500 horsepower at 8,250 rpm." So you're not getting like an actual legit "500" horsepower neither are you getting low end horsepower. Compare this with the stats of the 911 or any other 911 and you will understand what i am talking about. Hopefully...

[ozJman86]

Any word as to what the next Porsche incarnation number is going to be? 991 or 998?

[Technischer]

@ozJman86 991

[Fatalegg2]

So nice thanks chris

[shadman1911]

this is too emotional to me... give me a moment...

[timtime88]

what a thing of a beauty!

[ilmelangolo]

car porn!

[TheGreenPanda]

Mother of God....

=0

[GerryK61]

Another work of Art from Porsche!

[FOGGYDUC]

Fantastic car, period.

[alexchatwin0]

I cried.

[Parricidal]

Ah man, I wanted to hear that Flat 6 roar. One of the best sounding engines ever.

[Andror22]

This is PORSCHE.....

[subzerostorm]

Chris my friend another brillant review, you see chris gave respect and got respect, awesome job. "thee balance of this car is exceelent, we think" aka we know it is fuckers lol trust us where porsche.

[fp5carbon1]

is that an IWC Top Gun watch the engineer is wearing?



[its2realj]

Thumbs up! If you think Jeremy Clarkson viewed this video!

[MrBoyTuna]

@its2realj do you mean richard hammond? :P

[HENRYHOBBS1]

lovely

[Nemesis093781]

Great video.

[Dermo1985]

Yum! And dead right about painting the carbon too

[Forza432]

There is no replacement for displacement. In the case of the GT3 RS 4.0, I have no reason to doubt. This is beyond awesome.

[trinidefender1]

@Forza432 thing is they took that saying by up-ing the displacement, then added in the european style of getting big power from small engines and tuned the engine to give 125BHP/liter!!! = AWESOME!!

[Bahamuttiamat]

mental.

[alernest]

Whatever... I'm still bored with REAR-ENGINED SPORT BEETLES...

[mattyoz0]

@alernest What ever you stupid fuck, go read every review on the gt3 rs and see how good of a car it is. Watching to much top gear by the sound of it.

[alernest]

@mattyoz0

Yeah, I must be the stupid fuck who needs to insult to say any pseudo-argument, mental abort, right?

And maybe you're right, I watch too much of TG, Evo, 5th Gear, D-Motor, Turbo, auto motor und sport, sport auto, motorvision, quattro ruote, sky motori, automovilismo, Motor Trend, Road&Track, Edmunds, Car and Driver, Tester/El Garage TV, Best Motoring.

And yeah, maybe I shouldn't have ever driven 911s and gotten bored. I should have been smart and just watch little videos...

[mattyoz0]

@alernest What a load of shit. Go make a video of YOU driving a GT3 RS and then say it's shit. untill then, FUCK OFF!

[alernest]

@mattyoz0

LOL LOL LOL!!! You've driven a 911, have you...? HA HA HA...!!!

Keep enjoying your little vids, and your sacred mags...

[alernest]

@mattyoz0

But I have to admit there is no car with similar grip out of corners as the 911's.

It is a very remarkable feature to fit rear-mounted engines, scooped carcasses, and flat-engines...

...JUST LIKE VW BEETLES... LOL LOL LOL!!!

[GryphonDork]

Instant Classic.

[nitinopp]

this is beyond porn

[nitinopp]

i just came

[venom5809]

Chris Harris rocks. It has to be tough to buy this car when the new body style is coming out this year, although you can argue they won't look that much different. Lol

[3stagevtec]

125hp/liter is nuts for an NA! Me wants!

[jamesjr934]

Best looking 997 to date, IMO looks even better than the GT2 RS.

[LinoD]

god dam !! ...i want to see/hear this thing in action

[amed1381]

what a gentleman,

[agp46]

porsche sabe hacer las cosas bien , hay esta una de las mejores maquinas con 4 ruedas mas bonitas y espectacular del mundo,poco a poco estoy siendo amante de porsche,desde Jerez de la Frontera (ESPAÑA).
