PREVIEW: Porsche 911 GT3 - 493bhp 4.0-litre and a manual 'box 

Turboxide you should take a look at the petrolicious channel if you haven't already

Paul Barker yeah, Petrolicious are the masters and deserve more views.

What has M to do with GT porsches

BMW ///M made some of the greatest NA engines (M88/S38, S62, S85, S65, S50, S54). They make cool turbo engines now, but i'm sure, if they could, they would go back to big NA engines with high RPM. It used to be the ///M trademark.

M RO M///has fallen especially since f8x with the s55 twin turbo. Soulless to say the least.

500 hp

We need a modern 917 (just like Ford with the Ford GT 2005) Then put a 4 liter flat 12 that revs to 9K :D

Showing off? PDK is for track use or for those who commute a lot. I like a Manual myself but if I was serious about lap times there wouldn't be a question what to go for

People who are more interested about lap times are mostly showoffs. All they do is brag.

Are you kidding??? LOL Porsche gearboxes are among the worst!!!

Porsche just doesn´t give a fuck! If they can make a better car, they will...and this is spectacular!

The 911 R rev's to how much? I thought redline was the same as this : o

What if the next RS revs to 9200 rpm and has 525hp? Or maybe there will be an RS 4.2 with 550hp? Still, this with the manual gearbox is the stuff of dreams 😎

It will murder all the competition.

Ctrl952 5.0 flat six n/a that revs to 10k. fuck it

I mean, c'mon! What else comes close? They always sacrifice one thing or the other.

Not a hybrid? Check Manual gearbox? Check Rear-wheel drive? Check power levels over 9000! ? Check I got nothing, this car is perfect. Although she's too fast for hooning on regular roads, you have to use the track to stretch her legs.

Roy Rki I just want it to be coupe 😭

Rear engine? Electric steering? Rear wheel steering? Strut suspension? Plastic body parts? Oh and the fact that you won't be able to buy one without paying some already rich bloke a massive premium! Engine sounds potentially like one for the ages though. Would rather it was in the middle like Porsche's GT racers.

Why won't you be able to buy one? It's not Limited Edition, Porsche have already said that they'll build as many as they can sell.

mrwicksy getting a 991.2 GT3 RS was not so easy in some countries....production levels was not that high.

Phone your Porsche dealer. They were sold out months ago. Production is limited by capacity. They can't make more than 4000 cars a year so all of this year's allocation is gone. Porsche's preferred customers get first refusal starting with 918 customers (that was the deal at the time, Porsche were worried they wouldn't sell them all so came up with a get richer quick scheme). All the cars will be flipped for more money so they will all say yes. Real enthusiasts have to pay premiums. Good luck if you can get one, you'll have a great car and make money too.

thedownshiftchannel At least they heard us and listened that we want a REAL driver's car, whereas other company's like to Lambo and Fezza will not give a shit as long as rich people buy those PlayStation feel like cars.

The sad thing is it shouldn’t be a gap.

I’m glad that Porsche offer cars for every racer. I’m down with the PDK. Sorry. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Seriously man. I have yet to not like a video. Production value is amazing.

You do realise this channel belongs to Clarkson and co, right?! BTW in this case the driving footage is Porsche material.

kraenk12 I know tgt crew owns this, but it doesn't mean they were going to spend the money on it. I know the track shots are from porsche, but the studio shots were what I was referring to.

Mikeado66 Wait so what happened. Did these guys leave EVO? Why?

Zir S Presumably DT made them an offer they couldn't refuse. They're now making much the same content but here instead of there.

Mikeado66 Oh damn. I noticed Evo had been making nothing but those auction videos which led me to unsub. Maybe these guys leaving explains it. #RIPEvo

Evo did a video about this car aswell. It has "exclusive" in the title. As it seems it isn't that exclusive after all...

I still like evo, that dan prosser is still worth a watch with good driving and content

ThePandaBeat you are absolutely right, long live to manual please

Couldn't said it better my self

I totally agree.

It equates to several seconds on track, plus can make it an easier car around town. Still, its a hard choice now between manual or that glorious pdk they have.

911R will always be special. Porsche will never build a car that pure again for decades.

Nic Greig different cars. The 911R is more mechanical, analog, than this. And limited unlike this. But i do think the 911R will take a hit value wise

Nic Greig if your still holding onto the R and paid a premium, it's sad

i would ask you "how is a 911 R more mechanical and analog than this?", but i already know you can't answer that because it was a silly argument in the first place. the 911 R is a marketing stunt, an accountant's dream: less car, for more money.

I'd say a lot less downforce, sound deadening wise... maybe? The unreachable redline is definitely a plus lol I think when they say analog they mean like an old car, the immersion, the sound experience, the overall feel is probably different. And because it's limited it becomes different. It's like comparing a GT3RS to a Cayman GTS, doesn't make much sense, right?

Jatin Sharma 😂 Porsche VIP Treatment

i dont see why the 911 R owners would not like this car... Andreas said theyre still somewhat different

salomondrin knew about this car a while ago. he thinks theyre seperate niches and that his 911r will be fine in the long run. plus, hes a porsche vip collector, he gets all the 911's XD

Every R owner hates the GT3 Touring

Mick Wrinkles I don't think so, they just made getting a manual in this one so much sweeter.

Roberto Arkenburg Serious Porsche guys didn't buy a last gen one in the first place. Percentage of manuals sales are low anyway.

Connor Kinsey oh fuck him

He can afford his cars now because he sold all the lemonade. Chuck norris was mad.

With EVO. Not kidding.

Patrick Tomlinson exactly what I did!

still fit easily in the car though!

jpracingph at 6'7", this pleases me

Kalgoorlie10 this car it's very attainable

Marcel Robertson same here in my head the Gen 1 was perfect but seeing this I'm awe struck bravo 👏 Porsche
