The New Porsche 911 GT3 RS: A Racing Machine with Unparalleled Performance

As I step into the cockpit of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, I'm immediately struck by its sheer size and presence. It's like nothing else on the road, a behemoth of a car that exudes power and agility. The moment I start the engine, a piercing howl erupts from the exhaust system, followed by a squeaking sound from the brakes. It's music to my ears, a symphony of machinery that sets my heart racing.

I'm thrilled to discover that this is no ordinary Porsche 911. This is its bigger brother, a car designed for serious racing enthusiasts who crave speed and performance above all else. The engine, rear-mounted and pumping out a furious 520 horsepower, sends shivers down my spine as I accelerate from standstill. The gearing is smooth and precise, with a magnetically actuated click that's music to my ears.

The interior is just as impressive, with a beautifully crafted cockpit that feels like a work of art. I'm particularly taken by the gear shifter, which responds with a satisfying click when shifted into first gear. It's clear that Porsche has spared no expense in creating an instrument that's both functional and beautiful. The overall sense of quality is palpable, from the supple leather seats to the precision-engineered steering wheel.

I take the car out for a spin on a twisty country road, where it truly comes alive. The suspension, tuned to perfection by Porsche's engineers, soaks up bumps and potholes with ease, allowing me to focus on the driving experience rather than the road itself. As I push the limits of the car, I'm struck by its incredible grip and traction. This is a car that can handle anything I throw at it, from fast sweeping corners to hairpin turns.

Of course, there's a reason why this car has been dubbed a "cop car" – it's designed for serious racing competition, with a host of features that set it apart from more street-oriented 911 models. The rear-mounted engine, for example, allows Porsche engineers to optimize the weight distribution and aerodynamics of the car for maximum performance. And let's not forget the brakes, which are equipped with carbon-ceramic discs that provide unparalleled stopping power.

But even on the road, I find myself enjoying the experience. The suspension, while stiffer than some of its 911 brethren, is surprisingly comfortable on long journeys. In fact, I'm surprised to find that I can cruise at 120 kilometers per hour (70 miles per hour) without feeling any significant discomfort – and that's thanks in part to Porsche's clever DRS system, which reduces drag and makes the car feel eerily quiet.

As I continue to explore the capabilities of the new GT3 RS, one thing becomes clear: this is a truly exceptional machine. It's not for everyone, of course – there are those who'll find the ride too stiff or the power too overwhelming. But for serious enthusiasts who crave speed and performance above all else, the GT3 RS is an absolute must-have.

So what happens when you're driving on a motorway? Do you feel the urge to take it up a gear or two, to see just how fast this car can go? For me, that's always the question. And as I accelerate from 80 kilometers per hour (50 miles per hour) in first gear to 125 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour) in second gear, and then 171 kilometers per hour (106 miles per hour) in third gear, I'm struck by just how well the car handles at high speed. This is a machine that can keep up with even the most spirited driving, providing a thrilling experience for driver and passenger alike.

In conclusion, my verdict on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is clear: it's an absolute must-have for serious enthusiasts who crave speed and performance above all else. It may not be the most comfortable car to drive every day, but when you need a machine that can deliver exceptional handling and traction, this is the one to choose.

As I look around at the various features and trim levels on offer, I'm reminded of the many options available to buyers. From the standard spec to the highly optional package, there's something for everyone – even if that means taking out a second mortgage to afford it!

But as I sit here in my writing chair, surrounded by Porsche paraphernalia, I know what I need to do: track down every allocation of this magnificent machine and get behind the wheel. It won't be easy, but trust me when I say it'll be worth it.

For now, though, let's take a moment to appreciate just how special the new 911 GT3 RS is. Its sheer performance, its precision handling, and its stunning design all combine to create an ownership experience unlike any other. And as I wrap up this review, I know that if you're in the market for a serious racing machine, this is one car worth seriously considering.

After all, when it comes to speed and performance above all else, there's no substitute for the very best.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign this is a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS and I'm really excited about driving it today in fact it's a little bit like an atat Walker from the film The Empire Strikes Back because when I was a kid there's nothing I wanted more than the atat toy and now a big kid there's no toy I want more than a GT3 RS unfortunately I never had an attack because they're quite rare and hard to come by and my dad also said he wasn't spending 50 Quid on just a piece of plastic emotional damage likewise today these are quite rare I'm going to be very hard to come by and they're quite expensive but I'm going to try and do all that's in my power to get one do you think I should let me know in the comments below get Mata GT3 RS we're going to start a campaign anyway in this video I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about this car the exterior the interior what it's like to drive what it's like to thrash or it's like to drift what it's like to launch see how quick it is from north 60 miles an hour I know that's not the main point of this car but still I'm at Watson and you're watching car wire and that's what I do Buy sell car Wow Let's start this video by talking about the design of the new GT3 RS so obviously What Porsche wanted to do with this was to fit loads a lot of necessary wings and stuff on it to appeal to The Fast and Furious crowd because obviously that's what this car is all about actually that's a load of nonsense all this arrow is serious stuff that does a job and it's so complicated I've actually had to bring along a man from Porsche to explain it so this is Rob from Porsche hi so explain to me what's going on here at the front so at the front we've got two things we have downforce pushing the car down onto the ground yep that's the beat you can see at the bottom so that's the splitter this that's that bit that's different than a GT3 yep so it's going to capture more air create more downfalls there's something else I've noticed that will help the aerodynamics Porsche badge it's not a normal badge and it's not even a sticker like on the GT3 it's painted on so there's absolutely no drag lightweight low drag we have heat management cooling that's this bit this bit here so carbon fiber Bonnet like a GT3 however you've got these big cutouts here and what's is it that's not just for show right looks cool it does look cool absolutely not for show that is to direct the hot air that's coming out the radiator away from the air intakes which are at the back looks pretty mean let's move to this bit here what's going on here because this is different than a GT3 isn't it it doesn't have that yeah correct it's a lot more like the GT4 RS so the idea is to create sort of an air curse wait a minute so you're saying that the the Lesser Cayman has actually influenced the 911 never before has it been thus Cayman came first oh it's weird isn't it anyway let's move on so this guy's inspired by the Caiman gt4rx similar principles um so yeah the principle being is that to try and get the air flowing down the side of the car as smoothly as possible okay so the air goes in there no fake with that it's doing a job but then there's this bit if we come here this is where it all gets crazy look at this what's going on with this and this what's all this so all of this is to help manage the air that's in the air well yeah so you get a lot of pressure the air well uh in the in the wheel well okay I thought you'd created something new there but yes so that will allow the air to come out of the wheel well not original GT3 RX exactly but this bit isn't exactly so that is something that we first saw in our race cars at Lamar in the late 90s that really does help the airflow help bring the air through helps cool the brakes helps manage um the lift that you normally get created by this area okay so when I first saw pictures of this I was like it looks a bit busy honestly but you see it for real like you can see part of the cross section of the tires oh it just looks so good then down the side here these are extended compared to a GT3 right yep correct so you've got the seals again all part of that airflow down the side of the car and then similar sort of thing here so normally this car uses the turbo body so it's the only other model apart from the turbo that has this design yeah great so that normally on the top turbo would feed air into the engine yep on this it's basically taking air in to help the airflow management through the rear of the car okay so the air intakes are on the top this is just to help air flow through here and also feeds the bit you can see just by this here yeah correct okay right what's going on with this though there's someone just stuck this on by mistake what's this so this is all part of the hot air management again so the air that's coming out of that centrally mounted radiator we don't want it to get us up back into the air intakes because that hot air is going to drop your power so what this does is this actually stops the air so those nostrils yeah push the air down the side that stops IT coming back over really just that absolutely yeah do you know one thing I found out about the benefit of having the turbo body you know when you're admiring the arrow this is just a really good place to lean like anyway then moving on to the most important bit look at this this is huge the biggest ever Wing fitted to a Porsche Road car yeah I mean it's not just the area which is yes you say significantly bigger than anything we fished yet it's uh it's active as well so you have this element on the top is able to move so you see the hydraulic activation at the works on that um so the rear wing is fully active it can act as an air brake um it can create additional downforce um and you have DRS which is the same sort of thing that you find on a Formula One car so when you go at high speed you can actually open this up to reduce the downforce and reduce your drag so you can go faster finally then anything going on here I mean I thought this might be fake vents but it's not even that actually has real holes in it there's no Faker is there on this car everything's doing something so the rear diffuser is actually very similar to the GT3 it only accounts for about 10 of the rear down Force really the wing is is what's primarily creating your grip at the back and the car will always so it's active aerodynamics when one thing we can't see on the front is there are sort of active elements within that front splitter that we looked at and it's constantly maintaining 30 percent from 70 really rebalance wow is there anything going on on the underside of the car that we can't see so underneath the body's quite busy so we saw on GT3 and GT4 RS kind of veins underneath the car trying to channel airflow this has a lot more so the underbody airflow every bit as important as what we're seeing going on on the top how do you feel about me just leaning on your car lights that's fine are you sure just don't get your fingers stopped more on that in a bit the GT3 RS sits 20 millimeters low to the ground than a standard Carrera much in the same way that a GT3 does however the RS has 50 percent stiffer Springs because of all its extra downforce and upgraded dampers like the GT3 you have 20 inch Alloys at the front and 20 ones at the rear however the tires are wider it's in a three one five sections you've got three three five millimeters just look at the size of those tires just like the GT3 the RS gets solid suspension bushings for increased Precision also like that Kai it has a double Wishbone suspension at the front you know a bit like a Mazda MX-5 has had since 1989 however obviously the Porsches is a little bit more expensive and firm and better obviously now what is different on the GT3 RS is suspension though is it the wishbones themselves have been designed to produce downforce and they produce 40 kilos of downforce it's nuts another thing they've done on this car is change the location of the lower Wishbone arm to reduce diving under braking just like the GT3 the RS model has rear axle steering and an electronically controlled limited slip differential to send power to the wheel with the most grip then there's the fact that Porsche actually increased the track for the RS model so it's 29 millimeters wider both at the back and the front finally the brakes just like with the GT3 you have 408 millimeter discs up front gripped by six piston calipers whereas at the back you've got 380 millimeter disc grip by four piston caliber us however for the RS the brake discs themselves are slightly thicker and the Pistons and the calipers have been upgraded now if you want to you can upgrade to these carbon ceramic brakes for six thousand pounds which is what this car has you get yellow calipers then well worth it before I drive this car we need to talk about the engine so I've got Rob again from Porsche to explain it to us now like my 996 there's a flappy can open to see the engine isn't there good job it's ppf'd um anyways it's quite a small you know why don't they let you see the engine flat six mat keeps the weight low I hate that anyway tell me about the engine itself so the engine is very similar to the GT3 produces about 15 horsepower more so 510 horsepower on the GT3 we've got 525 horsepower in this good good what about talk is that up as well torque is just a little bit down so engine characteristics have been reprofiled um more for the racetrack what do you mean down well the peak number is a little bit lower we're only talking five six newton meters but the torque profile is still really really strong and the idea being is that the main range that you would use this in on track would be that sort of six to nine thousand RPM range so between Peak torque and Peak power but there's less torque I mean there is a little bit less torque but there's all sorts of other things that have been put into the engine to help it for the racetrack application for example with all the g-forces that this car can pull nearly 2G on the circuit the oil gets pushed around um so the cylinder heads have all been redesigned with the oil channels to make sure that your oil is getting pushed to exactly where it needs to be all of the time okay so um so I'll just get a launch it then yeah that's the race cars what about the corners okay you don't want to launch it it's cornering that okay so um I definitely won't be launching this then more attraction issues 960 3.65 so that's me 3.2 what's the quarter mile 11.58 now Rob from Porsche did say that this car isn't about like launching in straight line speed and stuff like that so I think we better do it again okay what I'm going to do this time is turn my little traction control button to reduce the traction control but keep the stability control on that's better 3.19 yes what's the quarter mile 11.19 full emergency stop now Okay the reason I did that is because Paul says this car will stop from 200 kilometers an hour in just a hundred and two meters I clearly didn't press the pedal hard enough because it took me 114 meters oh well definitely doesn't dive into braking I can give it that stopping 60 miles an hour which is the test I usually do it's 30 meters and I'm not sure I've had a car stop from 60 in a shorter distance than that I reckon if I'm hard on the pedal I can make it stop in probably 10 meters less than what I did right I'll take that that's good I think I'm going to launch this car one more time because the man from Porsche would clearly want me to now though I'm going to put the stability control into Dynamic mode which lets me turn the traction control all the way down to one so it shouldn't interfere as much as it did last time on the launch maybe I'll get a better time let's find out here we go that was better oh yes 3.14 yes it was better what's the quarter mile 0.14 breaking now breaking now for our 200. oh got cramp in my calf then did I get a better braking distance no I didn't that's 137 meters that time same to 60. I don't know what happened there anyway is quicker to 60 wasn't it and over the quarter mile on the inside the GT3 RS gets a load of upgrades over the standard 911 and even the GT3 so you get GT3 RS badging on the kick plates you have gt3rs logo here and a picture of the car from the side profile get this yellow surround for the rev counter you also get this unique steering wheel with these extra buttons on more on those later you also get this unique door paneling there and here plus you get little fabric poles to open the door and you don't have another door pocket there you actually have a net because weight saving another thing the gc3rs has is carbon fiber here and here now you can actually get that on the GT3 but you have to pay extra for it likewise the GT3 you have to pay extra for an Alcantara Dash you don't in the GT3 RS the GT3 RS also gets sport Chrono as standard you also get these lovely carbon fiber back bucket seats as standard on the GT3 RS whereas the extra on the GT three they're just like the GT3 you do have the gear selector knob rather than the little toggle thing that you have on the normal 911 992 generation obviously this car is a little bit more expensive than the GT3 it starts at 178 000 pounds this one has the optional vysac pack which is 26 000 pounds now you do get five separate in there and there it's well worth the money right you also get this carbon fiber roll cage you also get carbon fiber there as well on the door handles then the special magnetically activated gear shifter pedals like race car so you pull it like and then a magnet pulls the actual paddling for the last bit of its travel and it's foreign but you need to sell your current car you can do it through car wire in fact if you want to find out how much your current car is really worth all you have to do is click on the pop out back up there for the link in the description below to go to car wow upload some photos give a brief description then our dealers will bid on your car and if you want to you can sell to the highest bidder or or not you can just do it out of curiosity service is completely free and there's no obligation to sell if you want to do that at a later date after you've watched this video then simply Google help me car wow and we will help you find out exactly how much your car's worth one of the great things about the Porsche 911 is that it's a sports car that has some rear seats which you can use occasionally problem with the GT3 and the GT3 RS is that they've been removed so it's just a two-seater still you can store some luggage here if you want to well so long as you haven't got the viceat pack and this cage because it's much harder to put Luggage in here and that's especially a problem on this car because unlike the GT3 the GT3 RS does doesn't have a front boot because it's taken up with these new radiators that brings down to five or nine things about this car this huge Wing appears to attract creatures with wings because it's the perfect bird perch as a result there is bird poop down this side in here you can see where it's little kind of bird beat been there and then another one's obviously been perched here there's its bird feet there's a bit of bird follow through one of the problems with all these cutouts for the Aero is that they collect Stones look stones in there and you look at the ones at the front oh I look stones in there hardly driven it it's just full of stones this car is stoned no no this part of the wing is adjustable by these electric Rams here the only problem is is that unlike the electric windows you have in the car there's no anti-pin safety system so if you have your fingers there like iron someone presses the button I'll probably break them because this has carbon fiber doors you don't have the fold away handles that you get on the normal 992 911 so they just stick a lot I don't look as good another problem with carbon fiber doors is they're quite light so when people go to shut the door foreign then you absolutely have to spec the vysack pack with the carbon fiber roll cage which means that the total car will come to at least 204 000 pounds however it's not all bad here's five cool things about this car the visor packaging also includes these beautiful lightweight magnesium Wheels which save you two kilograms per corner you also get carbon fiber drop links for the anti-roll bars for added stiffness and reduced weight and of course the beautiful exposed carbon fiber Bodywork normal people might think that the GT2 RS has a soft limit and it sort of does look can't rev past four thousand oh there however those in the know know that with a GT car you put it into drive pull up both paddles and then your soft limiter has increased to six thousand RPM not quite the full 9000 but better than most cars anyway the car has active arrows so it knows what speed you're doing and what type of driving you're doing and it will deploy the DRS system as and when required to reduce your drag alternatively if you want to do it yourself to show off and feel like a racing driver you can press this button on the steering wheel here DRS active I'm feeling very smart now unlike with the previous GT3 RS Porsche has removed the option for buyers to deselect having an infotainment system they might be thinking isn't Choice actually a good thing well no it's not because this is what happens someday borders one of these cars and they get it from you and I think I know I'm going to reduce the weight by three kilos by deleting the infotainment system that will save me 0.000 one second round a lap of a truck I'm never actually going to drive on and then what happens is they decide to sell their car and you're looking to buy GT3 RS you weren't lucky enough to get a normal allocation and when they were first launched and you find a perfect car it's got the great spec it's got decent low mileage all that kind of stuff unfortunately though the owner went and deselected the infotainment system and so now you've got a car without an infotainment system which is just annoying this GT throughout race is more configurable than any other 911 before it so when you put into track mode you can then access different functions such as the suspension and you can alter the compression and rebound damping individually completely crazy press this button to access the Porsche talk vectoring and you can alter the amount of talkbacks you get going into a corner or out of it so you can make the car more stable or a little bit more agile you can press this button to alter the traction control or the stability control and that's the warning saying I'm turning it off and you know what that means okay like the Porsche man says let's have a proper driving this thing because it's about the handling not necessarily the straight line speed even though that's very good whoa the front end on this is just epic and then the traction you get from the rear axle it's just so solid I mean you have to be getting proper speeds to really get that Aero working and this is quite a narrow little track so I can't go too crazy but my God you don't all feel part of the car and it feels like a proper racing car with a squeaking from the brakes and the howling from the engine I'm loving the gear shifter though this magnetically actuated click what a little good click wow this is so good oh wait grips well I was exploding bonkers last car drove around here was the GT4 RS lovely car but this this is definitely it's bigger brother this is an absolute weapon get this thing on a proper racing circuit it will blow your mind and I just love the 911 setup you know with the engine at the rear you drive them in a certain way so much character I believe he's got more downforce the GT3 cop car but while he will take his contract you're also going to want to have fun with it on a twisty Country Road aren't you so let's try in that environment now so I'm in trap mode but I'm going to go into sport mode now which was slacking things off just a little bit make it feel a little less extreme though it's still pretty extreme yeah the suspension is a little bit more yielding let me just grab these bombs it's about a test track and they've got these bumps oh no get out of that which are designed to test the car suspension this car is so stiff that even with the suspension in the softer setting it's still oh pretty jarring but actually over on dilations and normal bumps the damping is very good considering you've got such firm Springs oh yes so nice to drive this just flowing down a twisty Road feels fabulous yeah there's carbon Ceramics that's one reason why you might not want them because you can feel a bit grubby on your first search of pedal and you get this squeaking sound but if you're gonna be on track a lot they're definitely worth considering because the brakes will just hold out for longer you don't need them on the road though oh this thing I had all the Reps running out of road before rebs I'll tell you one thing you don't really run out of either is confidence oh the car just feels so stable yeah at the same time it's also extremely responsive and obviously Porsche stability management system is just so good at letting the car move around a bit but just keeping everything nice and safe and the amount of grip you get go around the corners and then traction out of the bends is just insane I hope you can feel that front axle just biting in and then the rear just putting the power down oh you can drive this thing so quickly on a twisty Road anyway what happens when you're having to get to your twisty Road you know just normal driving let's go into drive normal mode actually though I've heard the best thing to do is to go back into track mode get on your suspension button and dial it all the way down to the softest setting and then that should be the most relaxing Drive well so long as you haven't got sporty mode for the gearbox if it change gears yourself so now I'm going over some bumpy bits here and yeah you do feel the bumps it's not terrible and I'd happily live with it in order to have a car such as this the key thing is it's not unbearable but what about when you're cruising on the motorway okay Cruise converter 120 kilometers an hour which is about 70 miles an hour I think this is perfectly acceptable I cannot hear any slight droning sound or with noise or tire noise at all oh actually I can but I don't really care because I've got a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and life is good also I can press this button to engage DRS yes I feel the drag reduce that'll entertain me on a longer Journey actually I know what else could entertain me let's have a listen to this engine I wonder how fast it'll go in first gear 80 kilometers an hour at the red line what about in second gear 125 followers an hour I wonder what third gear is 171 kilometers an hour that's the kind of thing I would do when driving on the motorway I think I'm slightly left now so then what's my final verdict on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS should you avoid it should you consider it should you shortlist it or should he just go right ahead and buy it well I reckon I should just go right ahead and buy it it's brilliant all I need to do now is figure out who I need to Blackmail to get allocation I hope you'll enjoy the video if you did give it a like let me know what you think of my verdict in the comments now to watch more videos click on the video windows and if you haven't done so already subscribe to this channel by hitting the call wow logo not hitting it with the Bingo you know what I meanforeign this is a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS and I'm really excited about driving it today in fact it's a little bit like an atat Walker from the film The Empire Strikes Back because when I was a kid there's nothing I wanted more than the atat toy and now a big kid there's no toy I want more than a GT3 RS unfortunately I never had an attack because they're quite rare and hard to come by and my dad also said he wasn't spending 50 Quid on just a piece of plastic emotional damage likewise today these are quite rare I'm going to be very hard to come by and they're quite expensive but I'm going to try and do all that's in my power to get one do you think I should let me know in the comments below get Mata GT3 RS we're going to start a campaign anyway in this video I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about this car the exterior the interior what it's like to drive what it's like to thrash or it's like to drift what it's like to launch see how quick it is from north 60 miles an hour I know that's not the main point of this car but still I'm at Watson and you're watching car wire and that's what I do Buy sell car Wow Let's start this video by talking about the design of the new GT3 RS so obviously What Porsche wanted to do with this was to fit loads a lot of necessary wings and stuff on it to appeal to The Fast and Furious crowd because obviously that's what this car is all about actually that's a load of nonsense all this arrow is serious stuff that does a job and it's so complicated I've actually had to bring along a man from Porsche to explain it so this is Rob from Porsche hi so explain to me what's going on here at the front so at the front we've got two things we have downforce pushing the car down onto the ground yep that's the beat you can see at the bottom so that's the splitter this that's that bit that's different than a GT3 yep so it's going to capture more air create more downfalls there's something else I've noticed that will help the aerodynamics Porsche badge it's not a normal badge and it's not even a sticker like on the GT3 it's painted on so there's absolutely no drag lightweight low drag we have heat management cooling that's this bit this bit here so carbon fiber Bonnet like a GT3 however you've got these big cutouts here and what's is it that's not just for show right looks cool it does look cool absolutely not for show that is to direct the hot air that's coming out the radiator away from the air intakes which are at the back looks pretty mean let's move to this bit here what's going on here because this is different than a GT3 isn't it it doesn't have that yeah correct it's a lot more like the GT4 RS so the idea is to create sort of an air curse wait a minute so you're saying that the the Lesser Cayman has actually influenced the 911 never before has it been thus Cayman came first oh it's weird isn't it anyway let's move on so this guy's inspired by the Caiman gt4rx similar principles um so yeah the principle being is that to try and get the air flowing down the side of the car as smoothly as possible okay so the air goes in there no fake with that it's doing a job but then there's this bit if we come here this is where it all gets crazy look at this what's going on with this and this what's all this so all of this is to help manage the air that's in the air well yeah so you get a lot of pressure the air well uh in the in the wheel well okay I thought you'd created something new there but yes so that will

though there's someone just stuck this on by mistake what's this so this is all part of the hot air management again so the air that's coming out of that centrally mounted radiator we don't want it to get us up back into the air intakes because that hot air is going to drop your power so what this does is this actually stops the air so those nostrils yeah push the air down the side that stops IT coming back over really just that absolutely yeah do you know one thing I found out about the benefit of having the turbo body you know when you're admiring the arrow this is just a really good place to lean like anyway then moving on to the most important bit look at this this is huge the biggest ever Wing fitted to a Porsche Road car yeah I mean it's not just the area which is yes you say significantly bigger than anything we fished yet it's uh it's active as well so you have this element on the top is able to move so you see the hydraulic activation at the works on that um so the rear wing is fully active it can act as an air brake um it can create additional downforce um and you have DRS which is the same sort of thing that you find on a Formula One car so when you go at high speed you can actually open this up to reduce the downforce and reduce your drag so you can go faster finally then anything going on here I mean I thought this might be fake vents but it's not even that actually has real holes in it there's no Faker is there on this car everything's doing something so the rear diffuser is actually very similar to the GT3 it only accounts for about 10 of the rear down Force really the wing is is what's primarily creating your grip at the back and the car will always so it's active aerodynamics when one thing we can't see on the front is there are sort of active elements within that front splitter that we looked at and it's constantly maintaining 30 percent from 70 really rebalance wow is there anything going on on the underside of the car that we can't see so underneath the body's quite busy so we saw on GT3 and GT4 RS kind of veins underneath the car trying to channel airflow this has a lot more so the underbody airflow every bit as important as what we're seeing going on on the top how do you feel about me just leaning on your car lights that's fine are you sure just don't get your fingers stopped more on that in a bit the GT3 RS sits 20 millimeters low to the ground than a standard Carrera much in the same way that a GT3 does however the RS has 50 percent stiffer Springs because of all its extra downforce and upgraded dampers like the GT3 you have 20 inch Alloys at the front and 20 ones at the rear however the tires are wider it's in a three one five sections you've got three three five millimeters just look at the size of those tires just like the GT3 the RS gets solid suspension bushings for increased Precision also like that Kai it has a double Wishbone suspension at the front you know a bit like a Mazda MX-5 has had since 1989 however obviously the Porsches is a little bit more expensive and firm and better obviously now what is different on the GT3 RS is suspension though is it the wishbones themselves have been designed to produce downforce and they produce 40 kilos of downforce it's nuts another thing they've done on this car is change the location of the lower Wishbone arm to reduce diving under braking just like the GT3 the RS model has rear axle steering and an electronically controlled limited slip differential to send power to the wheel with the most grip then there's the fact that Porsche actually increased the track for the RS model so it's 29 millimeters wider both at the back and the front finally the brakes just like with the GT3 you have 408 millimeter discs up front gripped by six piston calipers whereas at the back you've got 380 millimeter disc grip by four piston caliber us however for the RS the brake discs themselves are slightly thicker and the Pistons and the calipers have been upgraded now if you want to you can upgrade to these carbon ceramic brakes for six thousand pounds which is what this car has you get yellow calipers then well worth it before I drive this car we need to talk about the engine so I've got Rob again from Porsche to explain it to us now like my 996 there's a flappy can open to see the engine isn't there good job it's ppf'd um anyways it's quite a small you know why don't they let you see the engine flat six mat keeps the weight low I hate that anyway tell me about the engine itself so the engine is very similar to the GT3 produces about 15 horsepower more so 510 horsepower on the GT3 we've got 525 horsepower in this good good what about talk is that up as well torque is just a little bit down so engine characteristics have been reprofiled um more for the racetrack what do you mean down well the peak number is a little bit lower we're only talking five six newton meters but the torque profile is still really really strong and the idea being is that the main range that you would use this in on track would be that sort of six to nine thousand RPM range so between Peak torque and Peak power but there's less torque I mean there is a little bit less torque but there's all sorts of other things that have been put into the engine to help it for the racetrack application for example with all the g-forces that this car can pull nearly 2G on the circuit the oil gets pushed around um so the cylinder heads have all been redesigned with the oil channels to make sure that your oil is getting pushed to exactly where it needs to be all of the time okay so um so I'll just get a launch it then yeah that's the race cars what about the corners okay you don't want to launch it it's cornering that okay so um I definitely won't be launching this then more attraction issues 960 3.65 so that's me 3.2 what's the quarter mile 11.58 now Rob from Porsche did say that this car isn't about like launching in straight line speed and stuff like that so I think we better do it again okay what I'm going to do this time is turn my little traction control button to reduce the traction control but keep the stability control on that's better 3.19 yes what's the quarter mile 11.19 full emergency stop now Okay the reason I did that is because Paul says this car will stop from 200 kilometers an hour in just a hundred and two meters I clearly didn't press the pedal hard enough because it took me 114 meters oh well definitely doesn't dive into braking I can give it that stopping 60 miles an hour which is the test I usually do it's 30 meters and I'm not sure I've had a car stop from 60 in a shorter distance than that I reckon if I'm hard on the pedal I can make it stop in probably 10 meters less than what I did right I'll take that that's good I think I'm going to launch this car one more time because the man from Porsche would clearly want me to now though I'm going to put the stability control into Dynamic mode which lets me turn the traction control all the way down to one so it shouldn't interfere as much as it did last time on the launch maybe I'll get a better time let's find out here we go that was better oh yes 3.14 yes it was better what's the quarter mile 0.14 breaking now breaking now for our 200. oh got cramp in my calf then did I get a better braking distance no I didn't that's 137 meters that time same to 60. I don't know what happened there anyway is quicker to 60 wasn't it and over the quarter mile on the inside the GT3 RS gets a load of upgrades over the standard 911 and even the GT3 so you get GT3 RS badging on the kick plates you have gt3rs logo here and a picture of the car from the side profile get this yellow surround for the rev counter you also get this unique steering wheel with these extra buttons on more on those later you also get this unique door paneling there and here plus you get little fabric poles to open the door and you don't have another door pocket there you actually have a net because weight saving another thing the gc3rs has is carbon fiber here and here now you can actually get that on the GT3 but you have to pay extra for it likewise the GT3 you have to pay extra for an Alcantara Dash you don't in the GT3 RS the GT3 RS also gets sport Chrono as standard you also get these lovely carbon fiber back bucket seats as standard on the GT3 RS whereas the extra on the GT three they're just like the GT3 you do have the gear selector knob rather than the little toggle thing that you have on the normal 911 992 generation obviously this car is a little bit more expensive than the GT3 it starts at 178 000 pounds this one has the optional vysac pack which is 26 000 pounds now you do get five separate in there and there it's well worth the money right you also get this carbon fiber roll cage you also get carbon fiber there as well on the door handles then the special magnetically activated gear shifter pedals like race car so you pull it like and then a magnet pulls the actual paddling for the last bit of its travel and it's foreign but you need to sell your current car you can do it through car wire in fact if you want to find out how much your current car is really worth all you have to do is click on the pop out back up there for the link in the description below to go to car wow upload some photos give a brief description then our dealers will bid on your car and if you want to you can sell to the highest bidder or or not you can just do it out of curiosity service is completely free and there's no obligation to sell if you want to do that at a later date after you've watched this video then simply Google help me car wow and we will help you find out exactly how much your car's worth one of the great things about the Porsche 911 is that it's a sports car that has some rear seats which you can use occasionally problem with the GT3 and the GT3 RS is that they've been removed so it's just a two-seater still you can store some luggage here if you want to well so long as you haven't got the viceat pack and this cage because it's much harder to put Luggage in here and that's especially a problem on this car because unlike the GT3 the GT3 RS does doesn't have a front boot because it's taken up with these new radiators that brings down to five or nine things about this car this huge Wing appears to attract creatures with wings because it's the perfect bird perch as a result there is bird poop down this side in here you can see where it's little kind of bird beat been there and then another one's obviously been perched here there's its bird feet there's a bit of bird follow through one of the problems with all these cutouts for the Aero is that they collect Stones look stones in there and you look at the ones at the front oh I look stones in there hardly driven it it's just full of stones this car is stoned no no this part of the wing is adjustable by these electric Rams here the only problem is is that unlike the electric windows you have in the car there's no anti-pin safety system so if you have your fingers there like iron someone presses the button I'll probably break them because this has carbon fiber doors you don't have the fold away handles that you get on the normal 992 911 so they just stick a lot I don't look as good another problem with carbon fiber doors is they're quite light so when people go to shut the door foreign then you absolutely have to spec the vysack pack with the carbon fiber roll cage which means that the total car will come to at least 204 000 pounds however it's not all bad here's five cool things about this car the visor packaging also includes these beautiful lightweight magnesium Wheels which save you two kilograms per corner you also get carbon fiber drop links for the anti-roll bars for added stiffness and reduced weight and of course the beautiful exposed carbon fiber Bodywork normal people might think that the GT2 RS has a soft limit and it sort of does look can't rev past four thousand oh there however those in the know know that with a GT car you put it into drive pull up both paddles and then your soft limiter has increased to six thousand RPM not quite the full 9000 but better than most cars anyway the car has active arrows so it knows what speed you're doing and what type of driving you're doing and it will deploy the DRS system as and when required to reduce your drag alternatively if you want to do it yourself to show off and feel like a racing driver you can press this button on the steering wheel here DRS active I'm feeling very smart now unlike with the previous GT3 RS Porsche has removed the option for buyers to deselect having an infotainment system they might be thinking isn't Choice actually a good thing well no it's not because this is what happens someday borders one of these cars and they get it from you and I think I know I'm going to reduce the weight by three kilos by deleting the infotainment system that will save me 0.000 one second round a lap of a truck I'm never actually going to drive on and then what happens is they decide to sell their car and you're looking to buy GT3 RS you weren't lucky enough to get a normal allocation and when they were first launched and you find a perfect car it's got the great spec it's got decent low mileage all that kind of stuff unfortunately though the owner went and deselected the infotainment system and so now you've got a car without an infotainment system which is just annoying this GT throughout race is more configurable than any other 911 before it so when you put into track mode you can then access different functions such as the suspension and you can alter the compression and rebound damping individually completely crazy press this button to access the Porsche talk vectoring and you can alter the amount of talkbacks you get going into a corner or out of it so you can make the car more stable or a little bit more agile you can press this button to alter the traction control or the stability control and that's the warning saying I'm turning it off and you know what that means okay like the Porsche man says let's have a proper driving this thing because it's about the handling not necessarily the straight line speed even though that's very good whoa the front end on this is just epic and then the traction you get from the rear axle it's just so solid I mean you have to be getting proper speeds to really get that Aero working and this is quite a narrow little track so I can't go too crazy but my God you don't all feel part of the car and it feels like a proper racing car with a squeaking from the brakes and the howling from the engine I'm loving the gear shifter though this magnetically actuated click what a little good click wow this is so good oh wait grips well I was exploding bonkers last car drove around here was the GT4 RS lovely car but this this is definitely it's bigger brother this is an absolute weapon get this thing on a proper racing circuit it will blow your mind and I just love the 911 setup you know with the engine at the rear you drive them in a certain way so much character I believe he's got more downforce the GT3 cop car but while he will take his contract you're also going to want to have fun with it on a twisty Country Road aren't you so let's try in that environment now so I'm in trap mode but I'm going to go into sport mode now which was slacking things off just a little bit make it feel a little less extreme though it's still pretty extreme yeah the suspension is a little bit more yielding let me just grab these bombs it's about a test track and they've got these bumps oh no get out of that which are designed to test the car suspension this car is so stiff that even with the suspension in the softer setting it's still oh pretty jarring but actually over on dilations and normal bumps the damping is very good considering you've got such firm Springs oh yes so nice to drive this just flowing down a twisty Road feels fabulous yeah there's carbon Ceramics that's one reason why you might not want them because you can feel a bit grubby on your first search of pedal and you get this squeaking sound but if you're gonna be on track a lot they're definitely worth considering because the brakes will just hold out for longer you don't need them on the road though oh this thing I had all the Reps running out of road before rebs I'll tell you one thing you don't really run out of either is confidence oh the car just feels so stable yeah at the same time it's also extremely responsive and obviously Porsche stability management system is just so good at letting the car move around a bit but just keeping everything nice and safe and the amount of grip you get go around the corners and then traction out of the bends is just insane I hope you can feel that front axle just biting in and then the rear just putting the power down oh you can drive this thing so quickly on a twisty Road anyway what happens when you're having to get to your twisty Road you know just normal driving let's go into drive normal mode actually though I've heard the best thing to do is to go back into track mode get on your suspension button and dial it all the way down to the softest setting and then that should be the most relaxing Drive well so long as you haven't got sporty mode for the gearbox if it change gears yourself so now I'm going over some bumpy bits here and yeah you do feel the bumps it's not terrible and I'd happily live with it in order to have a car such as this the key thing is it's not unbearable but what about when you're cruising on the motorway okay Cruise converter 120 kilometers an hour which is about 70 miles an hour I think this is perfectly acceptable I cannot hear any slight droning sound or with noise or tire noise at all oh actually I can but I don't really care because I've got a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and life is good also I can press this button to engage DRS yes I feel the drag reduce that'll entertain me on a longer Journey actually I know what else could entertain me let's have a listen to this engine I wonder how fast it'll go in first gear 80 kilometers an hour at the red line what about in second gear 125 followers an hour I wonder what third gear is 171 kilometers an hour that's the kind of thing I would do when driving on the motorway I think I'm slightly left now so then what's my final verdict on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS should you avoid it should you consider it should you shortlist it or should he just go right ahead and buy it well I reckon I should just go right ahead and buy it it's brilliant all I need to do now is figure out who I need to Blackmail to get allocation I hope you'll enjoy the video if you did give it a like let me know what you think of my verdict in the comments now to watch more videos click on the video windows and if you haven't done so already subscribe to this channel by hitting the call wow logo not hitting it with the Bingo you know what I meanforeign this is a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS and I'm really excited about driving it today in fact it's a little bit like an atat Walker from the film The Empire Strikes Back because when I was a kid there's nothing I wanted more than the atat toy and now a big kid there's no toy I want more than a GT3 RS unfortunately I never had an attack because they're quite rare and hard to come by and my dad also said he wasn't spending 50 Quid on just a piece of plastic emotional damage likewise today these are quite rare I'm going to be very hard to come by and they're quite expensive but I'm going to try and do all that's in my power to get one do you think I should let me know in the comments below get Mata GT3 RS we're going to start a campaign anyway in this video I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about this car the exterior the interior what it's like to drive what it's like to thrash or it's like to drift what it's like to launch see how quick it is from north 60 miles an hour I know that's not the main point of this car but still I'm at Watson and you're watching car wire and that's what I do Buy sell car Wow Let's start this video by talking about the design of the new GT3 RS so obviously What Porsche wanted to do with this was to fit loads a lot of necessary wings and stuff on it to appeal to The Fast and Furious crowd because obviously that's what this car is all about actually that's a load of nonsense all this arrow is serious stuff that does a job and it's so complicated I've actually had to bring along a man from Porsche to explain it so this is Rob from Porsche hi so explain to me what's going on here at the front so at the front we've got two things we have downforce pushing the car down onto the ground yep that's the beat you can see at the bottom so that's the splitter this that's that bit that's different than a GT3 yep so it's going to capture more air create more downfalls there's something else I've noticed that will help the aerodynamics Porsche badge it's not a normal badge and it's not even a sticker like on the GT3 it's painted on so there's absolutely no drag lightweight low drag we have heat management cooling that's this bit this bit here so carbon fiber Bonnet like a GT3 however you've got these big cutouts here and what's is it that's not just for show right looks cool it does look cool absolutely not for show that is to direct the hot air that's coming out the radiator away from the air intakes which are at the back looks pretty mean let's move to this bit here what's going on here because this is different than a GT3 isn't it it doesn't have that yeah correct it's a lot more like the GT4 RS so the idea is to create sort of an air curse wait a minute so you're saying that the the Lesser Cayman has actually influenced the 911 never before has it been thus Cayman came first oh it's weird isn't it anyway let's move on so this guy's inspired by the Caiman gt4rx similar principles um so yeah the principle being is that to try and get the air flowing down the side of the car as smoothly as possible okay so the air goes in there no fake with that it's doing a job but then there's this bit if we come here this is where it all gets crazy look at this what's going on with this and this what's all this so all of this is to help manage the air that's in the air well yeah so you get a lot of pressure the air well uh in the in the wheel well okay I thought you'd created something new there but yes so that will allow the air to come out of the wheel well not original GT3 RX exactly but this bit isn't exactly so that is something that we first saw in our race cars at Lamar in the late 90s that really does help the airflow help bring the air through helps cool the brakes helps manage um the lift that you normally get created by this area okay so when I first saw pictures of this I was like it looks a bit busy honestly but you see it for real like you can see part of the cross section of the tires oh it just looks so good then down the side here these are extended compared to a GT3 right yep correct so you've got the seals again all part of that airflow down the side of the car and then similar sort of thing here so normally this car uses the turbo body so it's the only other model apart from the turbo that has this design yeah great so that normally on the top turbo would feed air into the engine yep on this it's basically taking air in to help the airflow management through the rear of the car okay so the air intakes are on the top this is just to help air flow through here and also feeds the bit you can see just by this here yeah correct okay right what's going on with this though there's someone just stuck this on by mistake what's this so this is all part of the hot air management again so the air that's coming out of that centrally mounted radiator we don't want it to get us up back into the air intakes because that hot air is going to drop your power so what this does is this actually stops the air so those nostrils yeah push the air down the side that stops IT coming back over really just that absolutely yeah do you know one thing I found out about the benefit of having the turbo body you know when you're admiring the arrow this is just a really good place to lean like anyway then moving on to the most important bit look at this this is huge the biggest ever Wing fitted to a Porsche Road car yeah I mean it's not just the area which is yes you say significantly bigger than anything we fished yet it's uh it's active as well so you have this element on the top is able to move so you see the hydraulic activation at the works on that um so the rear wing is fully active it can act as an air brake um it can create additional downforce um and you have DRS which is the same sort of thing that you find on a Formula One car so when you go at high speed you can actually open this up to reduce the downforce and reduce your drag so you can go faster finally then anything going on here I mean I thought this might be fake vents but it's not even that actually has real holes in it there's no Faker is there on this car everything's doing something so the rear diffuser is actually very similar to the GT3 it only accounts for about 10 of the rear down Force really the wing is is what's primarily creating your grip at the back and the car will always so it's active aerodynamics when one thing we can't see on the front is there are sort of active elements within that front splitter that we looked at and it's constantly maintaining 30 percent from 70 really rebalance wow is there anything going on on the underside of the car that we can't see so underneath the body's quite busy so we saw on GT3 and GT4 RS kind of veins underneath the car trying to channel airflow this has a lot more so the underbody airflow every bit as important as what we're seeing going on on the top how do you feel about me just leaning on your car lights that's fine are you sure just don't get your fingers stopped more on that in a bit the GT3 RS sits 20 millimeters low to the ground than a standard Carrera much in the same way that a GT3 does however the RS has 50 percent stiffer Springs because of all its extra downforce and upgraded dampers like the GT3 you have 20 inch Alloys at the front and 20 ones at the rear however the tires are wider it's in a three one five sections you've got three three five millimeters just look at the size of

actually increased the track for the RS model so it's 29 millimeters wider both at the back and the front finally the brakes just like with the GT3 you have 408 millimeter discs up front gripped by

drive this car we need to talk about the engine so I've got Rob again from Porsche to explain it to us now like my 996 there's a flappy can open to see the engine isn't there good job it's ppf'd um anyways it's quite a small you know why don't they let you see the engine flat six mat keeps the weight low I hate that anyway tell me about the engine itself so the engine is very similar to the GT3 produces about 15 horsepower more so 510 horsepower on the GT3 we've got 525 horsepower in this good good what about talk is that up as well torque is just a little bit down so engine characteristics

I mean there is a little bit less torque but there's all sorts of other things that have been put into the engine to help it for the racetrack application for example with all the g-forces that this car can pull nearly 2G on the circuit the oil gets pushed around um so the cylinder heads have all been redesigned with the oil channels to make sure that your oil is getting pushed to exactly where it needs to be all of the time okay so um so I'll just get a launch it then yeah that's the race cars what about the corners okay you don't want to launch it it's cornering that okay so um I definitely won't be launching this then more attraction issues 960 3.65 so that's me 3.2 what's the quarter mile 11.58 now Rob from Porsche did say that this car isn't about like launching in straight line speed and stuff like that so I think we better do it again okay what I'm going to do this time is turn my little traction control button to reduce the traction control but keep the stability control on that's better 3.19 yes what's the quarter mile 11.19 full emergency stop now Okay the reason I did that is because Paul says this car will stop from 200 kilometers an hour in just a hundred and two meters I clearly didn't press the pedal hard enough because it took me 114 meters oh well definitely doesn't dive into braking I can give it that stopping 60 miles an hour which is the test I usually do it's 30 meters and I'm not sure I've had a car stop from 60 in a shorter distance than that I reckon if I'm hard on the pedal I can make it stop in probably 10 meters less than what I did right I'll take that that's good I think I'm going to launch this car one more time because the man from Porsche would clearly want me to now though I'm going to put the stability control into Dynamic mode which lets me turn the traction control all the way down to one so it shouldn't interfere as much as it did last time on the launch maybe I'll get a better time let's find out here we go that was better oh yes 3.14 yes it was better what's the quarter mile 0.14 breaking now breaking now for our 200. oh got cramp in my calf then did I get a better braking distance no I didn't that's 137 meters that time same to 60. I don't know what happened there anyway is quicker to 60 wasn't it and over the quarter mile on the inside the GT3 RS gets a load of upgrades over the standard 911 and even the GT3 so you get GT3 RS badging on the kick plates you have gt3rs logo here and a picture of the car from the side profile get this yellow surround for the rev counter you also get this unique steering wheel with these extra buttons on more on those later you also get this unique door paneling there and here plus you get little fabric poles to open the door and you don't have another door pocket there you actually have a net because weight saving another thing the gc3rs has is carbon fiber here and here now you can actually get that on the GT3 but you have to pay extra for it likewise the GT3 you have to pay extra for an Alcantara Dash you don't in the GT3 RS the GT3 RS also gets sport Chrono as standard you also get these lovely carbon fiber back bucket seats as standard on the GT3 RS whereas the extra on the GT three they're just like the GT3 you do have the gear selector knob rather than the little toggle thing that you have on the normal 911 992 generation obviously this car is a little bit more expensive than the GT3 it starts at 178 000 pounds this one has the optional vysac pack which is 26 000 pounds now you do get five separate in there and there it's well worth the money right you also get this carbon fiber roll cage you also get carbon fiber there as well on the door handles then the special magnetically activated gear shifter pedals like race car so you pull it like and then a magnet pulls the actual paddling for the last bit of its travel and it's foreign but you need to sell your current car you can do it through car wire in fact if you want to find out how much your current car is really worth all you have to do is click on the pop out back up there for the link in the description below to go to car wow upload some photos give a brief description then our dealers will bid on your car and if you want to you can sell to the highest bidder or or not you can just do it out of curiosity service is completely free and there's no obligation to sell if you want to do that at a later date after you've watched this video then simply Google help me car wow and we will help you find out exactly how much your car's worth one of the great things about the Porsche 911 is that it's a sports car that has some rear seats which you can use occasionally problem with the GT3 and the GT3 RS is that they've been removed so it's just a two-seater still you can store some luggage here if you want to well so long as you haven't got the viceat pack and this cage because it's much harder to put Luggage in here and that's especially a problem on this car because unlike the GT3 the GT3 RS does doesn't have a front boot because it's taken up with these new radiators that brings down to five or nine things about this car this huge Wing appears to attract creatures with wings because it's the perfect bird perch as a result there is bird poop down this side in here you can see where it's little kind of bird beat been there and then another one's obviously been perched here there's its

stones in there hardly driven it it's just full of stones this car is stoned no no this part of the wing is adjustable by these electric Rams here the only problem is is that unlike the electric windows you have in the car there's no anti-pin safety system so if you have your fingers there like iron someone presses the button I'll probably break them because this has carbon fiber doors you don't have the fold away handles that you get on the normal 992 911 so they just stick a lot I don't look as good another problem with carbon fiber doors is they're quite light so when people go to shut the door foreign then you absolutely have to spec the vysack pack with the carbon fiber roll cage which means that the total car will come to at least 204 000 pounds however it's not all bad here's five cool things about this car the visor packaging also includes these beautiful lightweight magnesium Wheels which save you two kilograms per corner you also get carbon fiber drop links for the anti-roll bars for added stiffness and reduced weight and of course the beautiful exposed carbon fiber Bodywork normal people might think that the GT2 RS has a soft limit and it sort of does look can't rev past four thousand oh there however those in the know know that with a GT car you put it into drive pull up both paddles and then your soft limiter has increased to six thousand RPM not quite the full 9000 but better than most cars anyway the car has active arrows so it knows what speed you're doing and what type of driving you're doing and it will deploy the DRS system as and when required to reduce your drag alternatively if you want to do it yourself to show off and feel like a racing driver you can press this button on the steering wheel here DRS active I'm feeling very smart now unlike with the previous GT3 RS Porsche has removed the option for buyers to deselect having an infotainment system they might be thinking isn't Choice actually a good thing well no it's not because this is what happens someday borders one of these cars and they get it from you and I think I know I'm going to reduce the weight by three kilos by deleting the infotainment system that will save me 0.000 one second round a lap of a truck I'm never actually going to drive on and then what happens is they decide to sell their car and you're looking to buy GT3 RS you weren't lucky enough to get a normal allocation and when they were first launched and you find a perfect car it's got the great spec it's got decent low mileage all that kind of stuff unfortunately though the owner went and deselected the infotainment system and so now you've got a car without an infotainment system which is just annoying this GT throughout race is more configurable than any other 911 before it so when you put into track mode you can then access different functions such as the suspension and you can alter the compression and rebound damping individually completely crazy press this button to access the Porsche talk vectoring and you can alter the amount of talkbacks you get going into a corner or out of it so you can make the car more stable or a little bit more agile you can press this button to alter the traction control or the stability control and that's the warning saying I'm turning it off and you know what that means okay like the Porsche man says let's have a proper driving this thing because it's about the handling not necessarily the straight line speed even though that's very good whoa the front end on this is just epic and then the traction you get from the rear axle it's just so solid I mean you have to be getting proper speeds to really get that Aero working and this is quite a narrow little track so I can't go too crazy but my God you don't all feel part of the car and it feels like a proper racing car with a squeaking from the brakes and the howling from the engine I'm loving the gear shifter though this magnetically actuated click what a little good click wow this is so good oh wait grips well I was exploding bonkers last car drove around here was the GT4 RS lovely car but this this is definitely it's bigger brother this is an absolute weapon get this thing on a proper racing circuit it will blow your mind and I just love the 911 setup you know with the engine at the rear you drive them in a certain way so much character I believe he's got more downforce the GT3 cop car but while he will take his contract you're also going to want to have fun with it on a twisty Country Road aren't you so let's try in that environment now so I'm in trap mode but I'm going to go into sport mode now which was slacking things off just a little bit make it feel a little less extreme though it's still pretty extreme yeah the suspension is a little bit more yielding let me just grab these bombs it's about a test track and they've got these bumps oh no get out of that which are designed to test the car suspension this car is so stiff that even with the suspension in the softer setting it's still oh pretty jarring but actually over on dilations and normal bumps the damping is very good considering you've got such firm Springs oh yes so nice to drive this just flowing down a twisty Road feels fabulous yeah there's carbon Ceramics that's one reason why you might not want them because you can feel a bit grubby on your first search of pedal and you get this squeaking sound but if you're gonna be on track a lot they're definitely worth considering because the brakes will just hold out for longer you don't need them on the road though oh this thing I had all the Reps running out of road before rebs I'll tell you one thing you don't really run out of either is confidence oh the car just feels so stable yeah at the same time it's also extremely responsive and obviously Porsche stability management system is just so good at letting the car move around a bit but just keeping everything nice and safe and the amount of grip you get go around the corners and then traction out of the bends is just insane I hope you can feel that front axle just biting in and then the rear just putting the power down oh you can drive this thing so quickly on a twisty Road anyway what happens when you're having to get to your twisty Road you know just normal driving let's go into drive normal mode actually though I've heard the best thing to do is to go back into track mode get on your suspension button and dial it all the way down to the softest setting and then that should be the most relaxing Drive well so long as you haven't got sporty mode for the gearbox if it change gears yourself so now I'm going over some bumpy bits here and yeah you do feel the bumps it's not terrible and I'd happily live with it in order to have a car such as this the key thing is it's not unbearable but what about when you're cruising on the motorway okay Cruise converter 120 kilometers an hour which is about 70 miles an hour I think this is perfectly acceptable I cannot hear any slight droning sound or with noise or tire noise at all oh actually I can but I don't really care because I've got a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and life is good also I can press this button to engage DRS yes I feel the drag reduce that'll entertain me on a longer Journey actually I know what else could entertain me let's have a listen to this engine I wonder how fast it'll go in first gear 80 kilometers an hour at the red line what about in second gear 125 followers an hour I wonder what third gear is 171 kilometers an hour that's the kind of thing I would do when driving on the motorway I think I'm slightly left now so then what's my final verdict on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS should you avoid it should you consider it should you shortlist it or should he just go right ahead and buy it well I reckon I should just go right ahead and buy it it's brilliant all I need to do now is figure out who I need to Blackmail to get allocation I hope you'll enjoy the video
