They picked 20 cars over their 16 years of publication to represent the best of what EVO stands for. Numerous journalist spent days, driving many miles in these cars…. In the end they picked the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 as THE car, the best among the best. Chris Harris is a motorsports journalist and an incredible driver. In a recent video named “The future of the Porsche 911”, the hosts asks Chris if he could only pick ONE 911 to have/drive, only one, what would it be? His response, the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8. Note: He owned a RS 4.0. This machine is legendary and will gone down as one of the greatest analog driving experiences ever.
little dated on the Chris Harris … GT3 Touring 991.2 is his current “one” car … he is on his second and sold his 992 Touring to keep his 991.2 … Kudos to the 997.1 RS as well … less is more and freer rev’g Mezger … .2 RS is the objectively better car
I’ve spent a lot of time driving the 997.2 RS and the 991.2 touring and honestly I’d have a hard time choosing between them, I might pick the 997 for the looks but driving they’re both unbelievably good
Yeah it’s a lot better performing and more useable plus I think that gearbox is the best manual I’ve ever driven but the 997 feels so special so it’s a tough choice
F40 is amazing but awful to drive, very awkward position. F1 is spot on and check all the boxes. But in the 100-200k sports car segment the 997 GT3 is the best driving experience.
