  • i Fuck youtube advertisements

  • An Porsche is an Porsche... Nuff said...

  • A car that can really pull off the red wheels look.

  • GT3 downshift...best sound there is.

  • this is my favorite porsche right here

  • the corkscrew

  • GT-R fans, I'd much rather have the mechanical feel of this than the Nissan.

  • Porschography

  • This, the M3 and Ferrari cars have the best sounding engines.

  • DAMN I fucking LOVE the sound of this beast!

  • i had a cargasim

  • such a beautiful sound

  • 1:55- its a pretty bird...

    2:05- nope... its a fucking dragon!

  • the 2012 corvette zr1 contennial was 2 seconds faster.... and costs waaay less and looks better and is louder

  • @bballplaya123678 ZR1 also has almost over 200hp more than the porsche...the fact that the porsche is only 2sec off is pretty impressive being down that much on power.

  • @hoestess1 No, you are wrong. The car that beat the gt3 rs by more than 2 seconds was the z06! so it has about 70ish more hp. And regardless it doesn't matter because the porsche costs waaaayy more money so if their lightest fastest car can't even beat the middle class corvette thats sad...

  • @bballplaya123678 ....You said the 2012 ZR1 was 2seconds faster, now you're saying the Z06? Which 'vette are you talking about? And Porsche's fastest car is not the GT3 RS, its the GT2 RS.

  • @hoestess1 No i said the z06 contennial is not even the fastest corvette and it is still 2 seconds faster that the gt3 rs

  • @bballplaya123678 That's because it was using cup tires. Put the same on this car, and it would annihilate it.

  • @rvind92g Well thats just too bad isn't it because those are the standard tires on the contennial z06 which still costs away less than the gt3 rs.... So who's fault is that huh? By the way the pilot tires are street legal.

  • @bballplaya123678

    Looks no, noise, isn't always a good thing, but it has more power, but it isn't that much faster

  • @Thtblkbrit Okay you are watching a hot lap which is driving performance and speed how can you say "it is not that much faster" when everything engineered about the gt3rs is for speed and is super lightweight and is their race version car? its 2 seconds faster that is A LOT when you are racing cause thats only one lap also if I'm buying a very expensive car i would want it to sound good exterior looks=corvette contennial interior=porsche of course

  • @bballplaya123678

    Well if money ain't an option, just get a GT2 RS and be done

  • @Thtblkbrit If money ain't an option? WTF are you trying to say? and by the way the gt2rs is 250g!!

  • @bballplaya123678

    GT3 RS maybe it's faster, but add the 4.0 and that ain't happening.

  • @Thtblkbrit What? Maybe the gt3 rs is faster than what? It is not even faster than a z06 contennial.. And you do you mean add the 4.0...

  • i have only watch the lfa, this the 458 and the gtr hot laps...all in the 1mins 36th second

  • @komodosh I noticed the same thing XD

  • awesome car. great sound. only makes me wonder why the 4.0 was not out yet. it would have done much better lap time

  • Jesus F*cking Christ! sCINTILLATING

  • wet pants from the noise

  • F*** GT-R this car is a lot more fun

  • theres hotter laps. Play need for speed hot pursuite and you'll find that car and better's

  • @motortrend could you post a list of all the hot lap times on your website? without it people wont see any significance to the time at the end of the video

  • THE SOUND O_OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo

  • that's almost as quick as the 2012 nissan GTR's time. Just a fraction slower. I think the 4.0 would have nailed this track

  • i must say this GT3 sound better than the LFA/GTR combined but lacks the get the fuck out the way growl of the Z06 and not as fast

  • @skillz1855 I believe Porsche should've had send GT3RS 4.0 instead :/

  • @xabipp Nobody, at least if you know anything about cars is gonna be shocked if a GT3 RS 4.0 produces the best time compared to the other cars in this match up. It's a souped up track car while most of the cars here are grand sport touring cars or supercars

  • @geforce5591 Agree!

  • GTR is faster 1:36:35

  • @Warrantti yeah lol. with an AWD and sequential gearbox.. AMAZING performance... :/

  • @marshknute....consider that for the extra 30k you dont only get the technology that makes a car with far worse power to weight ratio go just as fast around the track as a car with a far better ratio, you get a PORSCHE. you get the name brand, the status, the history, the recognition the build quality, technology and refinement etc. with the mustang, you get an overpriced FORD.you are better off getting a regular cheap GT , slap on some sticky tires and light mods and save yourself the money

  • @marshknute check your facts please....first off, 1000 LBS??? more like 500lbs, in fact, its exactly 557 LBS according to MOTORTREND. huge difference.. the additional 114 horsepower and 107lb-ft torque more than compensate for that. if you give anyone with any automotive knowledge the choice between shaving 500lbs off their car or a 100hp bump in power, they will go for the power bump no questions asked.....secondly the price difference is 30k NOT 40k. certainly not twice as much as you claim

  • Let me guess, all the VW Beetle lovers at one spot. *Point and laugh*

  • this car is as fast as the LFA without all the electronics, without the crazy price and most importantly with 100HP AND A CRAP LOAD OF TORQUE LESS.......

    similarly, the cayman r is as fast as the mustang laguna seca with even greater of a horsepower and torque difference.....

    GOES TO SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF GERMAN ENGINEERING

  • @tomasortega1 I would expect the Porsche to be as fast as the Mustang. It weighs nearly 1000 lbs less, has a PDK transmission and costs $40,000 more (nearly twice the price of the Mustang). The Mustang is equally as impressive; the $29,000 Mustang GT set an identical lap time to the M3 in MotorTrend's shootout. I think we can all agree that the M3's interior isn't $40,000 better than the Mustang's, and its performance is no better. You have to keep price in mind when comparing cars.

  • @tomasortega1 NO SHIT, a proper race car beats a super car on the track... praise track car. Retarded kids everywhere.

  • Nissan and Ferrari both ate this car for lunch!

  • The engine sounds sexy, but it still can't beat the sound of a LFA

  • @realchimera who cares about the noise meh

  • I KILL UR CAR IN 60 SECONDS ON MY UNICORN QUATRO TURBO V12 THIS CAR IS CUSTOM AND CAN KILL THE VEYRON AND THE REST........................FO­R GOOD!

  • ITS LOOK LIKE U DRIVING STOCK

  • @Mclaren3054 i bet @FernanStudioBeats drives a honda lol

  • @stig1995atl i believe what you are referring to is call a "Corvette", this would be a "Porsche 911 GT3 RS". if u knew half as much about cars as you do about being a douche you would know there is a big difference between the respective buyers of 'vettes and Porsches. The main here being theres no traction control, e.g. you have to know how to drive a car properly, so obviously were not talking about 'guys with compensation issues'...err..i mean 'vette drivers'

  • Grey is boring. That GT3 RS should be a brighter.

  • #midlifecrisis

  • Believe it or not,in 2010 one of those participated in the 24h race on the Nürburgring and finished 13th place overall and 4th in its class.Stock.Not only that,but they also drove it all the way to the race and back.

  • @f14tomcatfreak its in the porsche museum in stuttgart,ive seen it there

  • For everyone making the GT-R vs GT3 RS shit talk: Two cars built by two completely different car makers for two completely different buyers. Both amazing, both demand attention in their own right. When any of you can afford to buy one of these, then come back and talk whatever you want. For the people who ca afford these, they love them for what they are. Jesus, modern society is a pain to live with...

  • Listen to 0:45 - 0:52. 

  • GT-R-1:36:35  Porsche GT3 Rs- 1:36:77 Nuff Said!!

  • @FernanStudioBeats lol not really whats that supposed to mean?

  • belíssimo carro.....meu sonho dos sonhos....quem sabe um dia Deus me ouve!!!

  • slower than Audi R8 GT

  • @hunker8 Compare the hp of them both.... 

  • I wonder how the Nissan would do with an RWD, manual transmission setup. I doubt it would be as good as the Porsche.

  • @SPMNDK89 The GTR-35 Nismo uses RWD and manual transmission and it owns.

  • @SPMNDK89 Considering it was designed to compete with the Porsche Turbo... Take a look at the GT-Rs in Super GT. Specifically the GT500 varients.

  • @SPMNDK89 I wonder how much better the GTR would do if it weighed 800 lbs less matching this car's weight. I bet Porsche wouldn't be as good.

  • @Tracked350Z I wan't trying to hurt your feelings ricer fanboy. Lol.

  • @SPMNDK89 Lol, my car collection clearly demonstrates I'm no ricer fanboy. I'm more of a fan of the GT3RS than the GTR. Your comment simply showed idiocy at it's best.

  • @Tracked350Z Dude you're either a liar or a hypocrite. And considering your screen name includes nissan's other sports car and your page is filled with 350z videos, I'm leaning towards liar. So go fuck yourself.

  • @SPMNDK89 Subscribe to my channel. Next week I will have another car with more videos. Should surprise you.

  • @SPMNDK89 I wonder how Superman would do with only webs like Spiderman... lol...

  • @SPMNDK89 they have that its called the 370z but the real question is how well will they do with a rear engine rwd car :P

  • @SPMNDK89 Let me preface this by saying that the GT3 RS is my favorite car in the whole world but give the nissan gtr credit where its due. Porsche's 911 turbos s has all wheel drive, 530 hp, and can be had with a 7 speed duel clutch so essentially the same setup as a gtr yet at the ring it cant touch the gtr. It is a seriously impressive machine...but none of that matters to me because the numbers dont matter yet ironically its the numbers i fell in love with. Three of them infact...911.

  • @ChrisToddRed I've never hated the GT-R. I respect it for what it is. Would I buy one? Probably not. And in all honesty even though it is a legit bargain for what it can do, its current asking price of $98K is a bit lofty for most people. Those who can afford a GT-R probably can choose other more expensive autos as well. I have never seen times for a 997 turbo S model around the ring. But a GT2 RS can best a GT-R. Yes the GT2 is RWD, has 640bhp, and has a manual tranny but it is a killer.

  • @ChrisToddRed Key words "At the Ring".

    Now if you honestly believe Nissan are actually testing stock cars there.......LOL!

  • @SPMNDK89 the nissan won't go anywhere lmfao. 

  • @SPMNDK89 Dumb comment. They made their car to make it perform to the highest possible level despite the drivetrain or transmission.

  • @GoonOnFire Dude I honestly don't get why you guys get all butt-hurt every time someone says something somewhat unfavorable of the GT-R. The 911 has a million different variations. The setup closest to the GT-R is the turbo, with a turbocharged flat six and all wheel drive. In my opinion if you take away the GT-R's awd and swapped out the tranny that is regulated more by the ecu than the driver, and removed the turbo, it wouldn't be as good as the GT3 RS.

  • Comment removed

  • @SPMNDK89 ...Well...if you took the wheels off and the engine out too,,,,it would`nt be as good as a push bike,would it !.....Do you know see the stupidity of your comment.....

  • @andwestuk You're taking my comment out of context man. But here's one you shouldn't be able to mess up, go fuck yourself. You fucking GT-R fanboys are pretty lame. I mention a different drivetrain layout and you're saying we should take the engine and wheels out, right... Well maybe we should remove your brain too, wouldn't make much difference.

  • @SPMNDK89 Haha! You make sense. I guess the asian Nissan fanbois can't take a hit. People who can't afford a Porsche, buys a Nissan. People who can afford a Porsche, but still buys a Nissan, shall be examined. There are so much more than just numbers. If you buy a Porsche, you buy a piece of art, a bit of history. You pass on the legacy. Porsche is class and performance. Nissan is just Nissan. They have the GT-R, which is great performance wise, but that's pretty much it.

  • @Zooeliten

    Yeah, I just thought about that, that's ALL they ever talk about. The 370Z is decent, and the 350Z nowadays is just a chick's car haha

  • @Zooeliten when you buy a GTR you buy the skyline legacy. dont bitch on peoples tastes

  • @andwestuk his comment makes plenty sense... he basicly said with the same drivetrain setup the porsche would be better, of course

  • @SPMNDK89 officialy the dumbest comment on you tube

  • @blahblop123 No bro yours is, cuz there's nothing substantial in it. Make sure you stay in school and maybe one day you'll contribute something to society.

  • un peu lent le type quand même

  • I would love to see what time the gt3 RS 4.0 would put down.

  • And its a German Car!

  • my neighbor has one :)

  • i love the car, love laguna seca, hate that the gt3 only comes in dumb color combos

  • Even Randy Pobst can't help but smile when he drives the GT3 RS!

  • i think this is the all-around best car in the comparison

  • LOVE the exhaust !!!! nice video MT

  • alucinate se mecere un pulgar arriba ok brabazoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It looks like Ryan Dunn's

  • Gotta be one of the best drivers of this car I have seen so far, really knows how to drive it!

  • Why is this porsche so slow around the track? Is it just me? this lost to the corvette ferrari and nissan yet it runs similar tires as the vette and weighs only around 3100lbs. I love porsche but this makes me think.

  • @Inklebonker1

    less power, try to bother looking at specs.

  • @joyfulvulture I do look at specs, I have a motor trend subscription. The Porsche has a power to weight ratio of 1:6.7 the nissan gtr is 1:7.2, The nissan uses summer tires while the porsche runs with Michelin pilot sport cups. The nissan has 4 seats while the porsche has 2 and a roll cage. My favorite sports cars are the viper acr, porsche gt2/3 rs and the corvette zr1. I do indeed keep myself informed on the specs.

  • porsche has such a uniqhe history, witch makes it a great car

  • And nissan guys respect if it wasn't for the 911 would there have been a GT-R? Porsche is like apple, they come out with a lot of the same shit and then BOOM

  • I am a nissan guy but man Porsche is just.................. 40+ years in the making of THE sports car is just phenomenal and God that sound!!!!

  • @sw1000xg, @rmcld The truth is that you are both wrong and that the Lexus LFA is the best.

  • the z06 finished faster than the 458 and gtr ???? bullcrap

  • @horila1 it has a faster ring time than the 458 or the gtr, so i believe it.

  • @horila1 sad but true

  • How much would it cost to replicate a car like this?

  • Corvette Z06 34.43 o.o

  • dude..... dont talk ur drowning out that sexy porsche engine sound!

  • Thank you Porsche for the 6 speed manual. SAVE THE MANUALS!

  • @bigapple0828 i agree. but lets face it, 10 or 15 years from now there wont be more than 20 cars on the market with manual transmissions, as cafe standards want 62mpg averages for companies.

  • Wow! The GT3 RS is amazing. Definitely one of my top dream cars to own. But you still can't beat that Z06! Call the Z06 what you want but with a 1:34.43, I call the Z06 FAST! Dream Garage: GT3 RS, Z06 Carbon with racing seats, and an Audi RS4.

  • @vili567 "rubbish"? A car that has 640 HP and is 110,000 bucks is defiantly not "rubbish". You eruopenises and your 300,000+ dollar cars...

  • Comment removed

  • @LeavingWanted He's talking about the Z06 dude. It has the same features as the ZR1 (well, the Centennial and Carbon editions) minus the LS9 (6.2L supercharged). I do love me some Corvette and agree with your point of them both being bargains, but you have to get your facts straight to be taken seriously in an argument. But, I do strongly disagree with him as well. When Europe can spit out a bargain like the Z06 and ZR1, I'll listen.

  • @LeavingWanted 505 hp not 640. the r1 has 640, witch makes it even worse for the competition because all these cars have more hp than the z06 and it still spanked them.

  • i really thought this car would beat the rubbsih Corvette Z06 -_-

  • Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition 1:34.43

  • i will keep my 2012 gtr -__-

  • I personally think this is the best Porsche ever made, even better then the gt2 rs. Just such a raw pure driving experience. I mean it is real fast, I mean that is altering the concept of time. It is a real race as a driver to stay ahead of that car. I love all the heal toe double clutching down shifting. Ferrari and porsches are different cars and I'm sure Ferrari looks at this car and says wow these people make an extraordinary car, I mean look at the performance and balance of this six,

  • The way it tucks into those corners, I thought I heard a bedtime story.

  • Beatiful car

  • what a wild beast!

  • Oh...my...god ....noise

  • what happened to the roll cage?? Virgil must have removed it ?

  • The Corvette was surprising fastest.

  • Really impressive , i've driven the plain gt3 at a track and it was great , i think with a pdk gear box it would be at least 1 sec maybe even 2 secs quicker in lap time ??

  • why does he have stickers on his steering wheel?

  • Should have at least showed a vette or two in here along with a viper oh I guess It wouldn't have been fair then (Im a ford fan by the way). Give me that solid axle boss for 50K and Ill call it a day I can live with 3.3s loss when I save 330K. Thanks Ford you've represented pony cars well and didn't hijack the price of them Well done.

  • Nissan GT-R 1:36.35

  • @barneypwnedyou

    everydriver is different, with this one the GT-R would be lucky with a 1:42s lap time. I saw an independent event at LS where the same driver tested each vehicle (3laps) the GT-R ran a best of 1:40.45 the Boss ran 1:40.21 mid pack cars while the ZR1 ran a 1:35.80 being fastest and the BMW M3 (E92) had the slowest of 1:42.96. Some other inbetween dont remember. Not to bash your prize but the GT-R isn't that great in all honesty even the 2012 won't be that impressive.

  • @barneypwnedyou

    Oh the boss that was ran at the event was just that not the LS package this is why Im saying he's not the best driver because the LS edition is about 2s quicker than the regular Boss and this driver actually made it 1s slower than the Boss.

  • @barneypwnedyou Nissan GT-R Twin Turbo V6, GT3 RS N/A Flat 6, GT-R Double-Clutch GT3 RS Manual, GT-R AWD, GT3 RS RWD, GT-R Shit load of traction control systems, GT3 RS YOU!

  • @rmcld 300KG less weight and racing tires plus it's re-engineered and re-engineered and RE-ENGINEERED and RRRREEEEEEE-ENGINEERED! For the past 12 YEARS! How old is the GTR? oh yeah 3! So after 12 years of tuning it should be good!

  • @sw1000xg HAHAHA what a stupid theory, then all Ferraris are brand new, all the technology used previously doesn´t count... like the GT-R doesn´t take influences from the Skylines, seriously, what is your problem?! have you seen the torque figures on both cars? the grip measures, totally different cars, this GT3 RS is a win for the true automobile, the true driver, see what the guy says about it in the video, and then see the GT-R, only a true passionate driver understands what the RS is.

  • @rmcld It's the same car! The same engine! the same interior! the same EVERYTHING! The GTR is a new design! new engine NEW tranny! the 458 is a NEW design the tranny is new the engine is NEW! See the picture! everything in those cars are DESIGNED for that car! The GT3 RS is the same EVERYTHING! from the 996!

  • @sw1000xg -_- wow how ignorant can one be. So this 911 has the same times, specs, figures w.e you name, RIGHT?! nooooo, the way you described the 458 is pretty much the same here, it´s a V8 like in the well before i was, born, it changed appearence and name, it was improved, JUST LIKE THE 911! so what if the design is almost the same? or the name? THAT´S WHAT MAKES IT THE ICON AND THE BENCHMARK FOR YOU BELOVED GT-R, yes the boring same old 911 Turbo is the inspirantion for your brand new car.

  • @rmcld Well yes that's true but in 3 years Nissan have achived what Porsche has not been able to do in it's entire history! Turbo S beaten by the GTR the GT3 RS beaten the 4.0L will be taken by the 2013! Every car Porsche release it's bettter than any Porsche! The 911 has not changed at all it's the same shape the same size it's the same car it's just poor engineering from Porsche! Coz it's taken them long enough!

  • @sw1000xg 3 years u say?! you´re killing me man :´) , Nissan what? right you tell me when Nissan is considered a luxury sports car, or a reliable sports car, or even beat the 911 sales, i dunno if it as done so good it´s probably selling better oh noooo it´s nooot. YES! every Porsche is better, like the GT2 RS shits on your beloved Japanese copy cat, so poorly engineered so boring yet the benchmark, ah, ignorance. Oh and you should do some research on Porsche history in Motorsports and Nissans.

  • @rmcld How long has Porsche been going and they STILL cannot make a good Sports car! GT2 RS? Oh you mean the race spec light track car with a roll cage! Is that the best Porsche can do to beat the GTR? HAHAHAHAH!!! Porsche are old and there cars are out of date compared to the GTR! All Porsche's are beaten apart from the GT2 RS! And that's going to be cut short with the 2013 GTR LOOOOL!!!

  • @sw1000xg well if you look closely to the times this boring NA flat 6 almost beat your TT V6 so much evolution and amazing shit for that? I´m sorry i forgot you were a kid, the GT2 RS doesn´t just beat, it shits all over it, like the GT2, twin blowers right? and before Nissan decided to make a sports car and was making Micras, Porsche was winning at LeMans, and when Porsche decides to make sth different, a car like the Carrera GT comes out, and that was the best car in the world at it´s time

  • @rmcld Ask sw1000xh about this Litchfield GTR that he raced and has video of. Just see what he says.

  • @sw1000xg 918 is coming, and that car only has pedigree, technology and evolution that are enough out shine the entire history of Nissan, wich is owned by Renault, one of the shittiest car makers in Europe.

    Oh and race spec involves talent to drive it, the GT-R is not race spec coz even my dog could drive it.

  • @rmcld Renault doesn't own Nissan, they have a partnership and although Renault does indeed sell cheap cars they know a thing or two about performance since they been racing Formula 1 since I can remember and not to mention winning a few championships...so keep it down kid

  • @paulusandronicus So cheap cars as in shitty cars, do you own a Twingo is it? ;D ohhh i´m sorry old man, it is true they won a few champs, but then again, RedBull is the current champion, how many cars does RedBull make, what´s the RedBull´s brand benchmark car? you´re excused now.

  • @rmcld  RedBull's F1 engine is made by RENAULT !!!

  • @paulusandronicus You didn´t get my point renault pit girl, i know they use Renault engines, but while the actual Renault is crap on F1, the non car makers have better cars?! it´s all about engineering, and Renualt does not have it, at all. IT SUCKS!

  • @rmcld mm so Renault makes the world champion engines plus they've won a few world championships themselves and they don't have good engineering?? please stop talking you are making a fool of yourself.

  • @paulusandronicus are we talking about the past o present? they suck, period, they won because they had Alonso in his prime, i still remember the Benetton team with the most powerfull engines and still couldn´t win shit. VR6 was a failure, Alpine was a failure, Renault is just shit, compared to Citroen or Peugeot it´s rivals.

  • @rmcld and by the way i love Porsche, I just wanted to let you know that you don't know shit.

  • @rmcld NO SHIT!

  • @rmcld. shittiest car maker in europe.lol take it you,ve never taken your single minded pea brain into a renaultsport. 200cup,270 trophy,r26r ? thought not or you wouldn,t be spewing that shit out your mouth. they offer best price vs performance any fucking where. GTR is a beast for a fraction of the cost of other supercars. i know people with VW,AUDI,S,BMW,S all had fucking problems. so your point is what? you got a little dick and come on youtube to feel good.

  • @santclause1 HAHAHA oh shit fwd hot hatches woooooooo.Top notch performance right there. xDDD

    My point is, Renault is shitty comapred to VW, AUDI, BMW, FIAT, ALFA ROMEO, CITROEN, PEUGEOT, ETC. so it is one of the shittiest.

    Now go to a gay bar in your Renault Twingo, while i offer your mom my "little dick" Santa Clause.

  • @rmcld. fiat,alfa,citroen,peogeot. LOL don,t fucking think so. not at making hothatches. keep talking shit and i,ll find you and push you down a hill in your fucking wheelchair. you retard.

  • @santclause1 You seem to think that hot hatches = the whole car industry, get your stupid head out of the sand, and face the true, nobody likes Renault, it´s one of the few companies who has no sort of apeeal whatsoever, that´s why it depends solo on girly cars. the whole trophy car and shit are just stripped out hot hatches, ofc they´re the best at it, it´s the only company who does it LOL.
