Is This Porsche's Best Engine? | Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS | Naturally Aspirated Heroes Ep 4 | 4K 

What a car this is! Which generation GT3 RS would you have? 996, 997, 991, or 992? 👇

this series needs to keep being made with more N/A heroes! Love it!

Proud owner of a 997.1 GT3 RS. I've owned many cars, but there's nothing that compares to the driving experience of this special 911.

Back to the basics that make driving and cars in general so enjoyable. A brilliant high revving normally aspirated flat six engine which needs to be driven right to get the most out of it , a proper manual gearbox and a soundtrack that never gets old. 👌

My favourite! 997.1 GT3, it's pure emotion with it's manual trans! I was waiting for this one and thank you for the N/A series, as I said before, it's my favourite set of videos. Well done!

absolutely beautiful production

This is by far my most favourite modern porsche of all time especially in RS green (and my most favourite automotive channel as well)

Amazing! The distant/echoed upshift at 8:30 should have been the outro or final sound output of this video. It gave me chills. What a great car.

What an amazing machine! I miss so much the hydraulic steering feel, no electric one can compare to it. Adding that engine sound, priceless. Great video, looking forward for the next ones :)

Really nice series of videos 👍🏼. And this 997 GT3 RS in this orange is still a real stunner. Insiders know that there is SO much more to a nice car than only sheer power

Don't forget about the non-RS 997.1 GT3 models. Same engine. Nearly same performance without the flashy badges, Huge wing and bright colors schemes. Personally I much prefer to fly under the radar and just enjoy the experience. Can also knock 25% off the price tag!

Sweet! Great looking and functional Porsche. It's nice how it doesn't have too many modes to choose from and you can just get in and enjoy sporty driving with the amazing sounds!

Fantastic review, stunning footage. Very special cars.

That chasing cam angle was like being in a race. Loved it!

These videos get you onto Autotrader every time 😂….. great work🏎🏎😎😎.

Great video and glorious sound, just 2 second shorted video would have been the icing on the cake 😂

Absolutely love this series. Please keep making them

Unbealiveable,amazing,its one of the best videos i am ever seen! Good luck!

Another cracking review Matt. Yourself and Henry Catchpole my favourites. Keep up the great work cheers 🍻

Another awesome video guys, love watching these 👌🏻

Very well made! I'm excited for next week's vid

**Patiently waits for this channel to hit a million subs already**

Great video of an awesome 911. Thanks 👍🏼

Another cracking video chaps. An awesome car, nice scenery and cinematography.

great review. great car. my friend has one, been in it a few times. great fun.

Found your channel a few months ago... By far the best visuals of all the other YT channel dedicated to cars. Big thumbs up to your filming crew ! Cheers

Awesome video! one of my favorite cars of all time!

Very nicely presented and filmed..getting closer to Carfection standards with this one.

You got my subscription, keep this content coming👍🏻

You guys did a great job! Everything was perfect in this video! Thank you! 🙏 PS: Could you please let me know the name of the song?

You guys never fail to deliver 🤗🤗😎

Just bought a humble 997.1 GT3.. Oh my.👏🙏👏 Great review..👍

Brilliant series this. Filmed on one incredible road.

Really nice review. Love that gt3rs

Brilliant! I remember using a 997 rs for a day, just a wonderful car. Really very hard to beat it

There is something in the noise of this "old" engine that can't be replicated on the newer ones, even if you fit a LOUD exhaust system...it's just a sweeeeet musical tone. Beautiful! What an amazing series this is!

Great film, great car!!! Thank you !

No, the best is the 991.2 4.0 liter. Truly an amazing piece of work. 500hp with ram air

The 3.6 997 GT3 is still the nicest engined car I’ve driven! Would love an RS

Wonderfully shot & edited!

A great car perfect roads.. What more could you ask for... Thanks for sharing..🤪😎

Wonderful vid. This is my top NA choice and has been for years. One day in the garage but right not private university for the kids.

Beautiful video, my dad owns a 997 GT2 so fair to say the 997 is my favorite Gen 😁

one of my fave cars. Great vid! Sub'd

This channel is so underrated!

Amazing series! In future NA Heros I'd love to see: Carrera GT 4.2L Audis F12 430 Scuderia Aventador LP7XX S2000 E60 M5

Wow Matt, Just sensational and better than my 997 GT3 " lightweight " which only weighs 1342 Kgs with 432.3 BHP @8010 RPM and a Akrapovic Full Titanium "straight pipe" exhaust .Though I might have a slightly higher top speed having the "narrow body' shell.

This should be on TV 🙌🙌🙌

The 997.2 RS 4.0 is probably the ultimate NA Porsche

Great production and amazing car …

My Suzuki Swift Sport z32 is a NA hero. Cost me £6k, cheap to run and you can thrash it and LOVE it on normal roads. It’s fast because of it’s usability with the knife-edge, spine-tingling throttle response you just don’t get with turbo cars. It will hold it’s value but is not going to appreciate so you don’t feel you have to garage it and protect it - you can do what it was meant to do - drive it hard!!! 😋

I love this era of Porsche just you and the machine

The sound on NA cars is phenomenal...🙌🏽

Glorious machine, cant wait for 992 GT3RS

You probably mentioned this but what road in North Wales is this ? Love the video and this is my dream car 👌🏼

I have an SLS, so am very much looking forward to the next show.

Painful to watch due to how much I want and can’t have that car 😅❤️ must try harder. Not you guys, you nailed it!

Nicely done lids 🙌

Game over... What a car 💎

Sorry to interrupt the conversation about naturally aspirated engines (which I adore, like you do). I think there is also one engine that somehow manages to 'unite' car enthusiasts all over the world because it is turbocharged but sounds like an N/A. If the GT3's engine is affectionately called a Mezger, then the F40 engine (and the earlier GTO's for that matter) must undoubtedly be called a Materazzi. I would recommend you try to find an F40 and locate Materazzi (he's in his 80's now) and talk about an engine that is a pussycat below 3000 rpm and a tiger up to the red-line. A little-known fact is that the ~480HP it makes and the lag it has could have been a lot worse if he'd chosen to use the race-spec calibration. Instead the stamping on the engine blocks of the F40 engines denote that it's the version which was destined for Group B rallying (as opposed to Group B circuit racing which never materialised) and hence had smaller turbos and different dump-valves & wastegates. If you have enough saved up and 'only' need two drivers cars, then you could do a lot worse than own a GT3RS and and F40.

One of the best channels on RU-vid

This is a visualized art.

Goals car. Great review.

How can this video have 2 dislikes??? Perfect!

Great video, chaps! I do enjoy my 997 GT3. Of course, I have to let 991.2 PDK Carreras pass me on track days, but which one of us is having the most fun? 8400 RPM in second gear is very addictive.

amazing car, amazing video… awesome

These videos are on another level! I would love if you can dedicate 15 mins for each car!

What an engine,, What a car..👍👍

Love these

Superb!

For me the 997 generation 911 is the best of all. Certainly the best looking. I always wanted a turbo.

I’ll have the 997 gen. It’s just so pure .

What an awesome video 👌

Love love love this car. I’ll never afford one, and I’ll have to keep myself happy with an E46 M3. If I win the lottery I’m getting on of these. 😍😍

Better to not use that harnas seatbelt without a HANS. In that case the normal seatbelt is safer 🤘🏻

Great video!! I have a BMW. It drives very well!! Much better than an Audi, or Benz. But, I have driven a 997.1 Carrera, and it was a great car! I can understand why people like these so much!! I love the way this car looks! the new 992 looks bad.

Which road are we on here guys? It doesn’t look like the A4086 but I can see some decent mountains behind - I can’t place it. Thanks!

The Legendary Mezger. Also in the Turbo and GT2.

Guys, please do the lexus LC500 at some point. it really deserves to be in your series

There is the 3.8 Liter between the 3.6 and 4.0 Liter , for me the best compromise! 😉

I absolutely love that car!

Peak road car, everything about it is perfection

🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful.

I Love this Car So much on of the Pretty and beautiful car... 997 GT3 I Love so much❤❤❤

Great car , porsche forever ❤️🇩🇪

Do 3.6 and 4.0 both come in the 997.1?

This for me is the greatest 911 ever made.

has anyone got an idea of what song was played at 7:39 ?

What road is this?

Fantastic film . What is it like to drive on normal British Roads with potholes.

NSX-R needs to be added to the list.

997❤️

brilliant car brilliant vid

Pure driving machine...

I know no one likes American cars, but the NA 5.2 Voodoo engine in the GT350 is deserving of a spot. Also LFA

Please do not forget the f355 with capristo for next trio... Thank you.

Beautiful car… one day.. one day!!

Five years ago you could pick up a used 997.1 or 997.2 GT3 RS for around $100k. Now you'd have to pay two and a half times that to get one. My next car is going to be a special Porsche. Forget the steep initial buy in price, you'll make it back - and more - in time.

What watch ya wearing
