$1,000,000 Porsche: NEW 911 GT3 R Revealed At Porsche's MEGA Birthday Party | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It’s Porsche’s 75th birthday. Which means you need two things: a birthday present and a big party. Thankfully, Porsche has done both.
The present? A $1,046,000 limited edition toy for Porsche’s very luckiest - and track-savvy - customers: the 911 GT3 R rennsport. Put simply, it’s the ‘logical’ successor to the GT2 RS-based 935 from a few years back, and uses the already potent 911 GT3 R as a base. Aside from the bonnet and the roof, every other body panel on the limited edition has been changed over a not-at-all-regular GT3 R.
Where was it revealed? Porsche’s birthday bash at Laguna Seca: Rennsport Reunion. As dos go, it was a good one. A four-day festival for everything Porsche. The place was dripping with so much extraordinary metal that even something like a 959 frankly became a bit average after our fourth day here. There were 908s, 917s, 910s, 956s, 962s, RSRs, an entire tent stuffed full of beautiful 356s, vintage 911s, modern 911s and, this being California, enough lowered and modified 911s to give Porsche’s compliance department a coronary. And don’t worry if you couldn’t make it, as Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford made the trip across the pond to bring you all the action.

its still only the homoglations model for the group b that failed, porsche set 1983 on the wrong horse. in group b you need 1.8l turbo engines like the Peugeot 206 T16, Ford RS200 or Lancia Delta S4 and the same short wheelbase.
Porsche rarely do wrong with their cars. I love my 911, the car's all round ability is truly amazing! Best car I've owned, and not crazy flash like your other super cars.
I love the brand. I’ve dreamed of owning a Porsche since I was a young boy. I bought my 2017 911 4S in March of 2016 when it was first released in the US. I even bought my wife a Macan S a couple of years ago.
How could you Not just want to be at an Event like this , truly beyond awesome
2:17 that is NOT a Macan, I am absolutely *FUMING!!!*
The massive wing on the latest Porsche 911 GT3 R is an absolute showstopper! What sets it apart from all the other GT3 models is its classic design that pays homage to Porsche's racing heritage, while still delivering cutting-edge aerodynamics. It's a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
This 911 looks absolutely mad! 🤘🔥 it would be cool if they did a gt2 rs with this treatment. I love the mission x just wish it had a internal combustion engine.
This just looks like heaven to me. I hope that I will be able to attend the next one with my very own Porsche. Whatever or whenever that may be.

On Sept 19, 1973 I was at the Edmonton Motor Speedway to watch Mark Donahue beat a bunch of world class drivers at the Can-Am race. Mark finished first, qualified first, and set fastest lap, a new track record. He beat the likes of George Follmer, Jackie Oliver, Jody Scheckter, David Hobbs all in a field of Porsche 917's and McLaren M8's, and the one UOP Shadow of Jodie Scheckter. It was a time of unbelievable skill and daring from these great drivers. Remember, back then there was NO emphasis on safety, just going ever faster. The cars looked unbelivably spindly and unsubstantial. You definitely would not want to be in a shunt in one. That car scared me when it fired up, loud, with the most amazing howl from it's flat 12 turbo engine.
The interview with Mr Donohue was the highlight of this video. A genuine fellow with zero pretension 😎🎩♠️
I love the fact that there’s a cameo appearance from Smith & Sniff! Superb!
Here to see who else noticed that he called a Cayenne, a Macan
My god wow!!! Porsche is the best!! What a way to celebrate!

It's a good thing innit? GMA DNA is everything Porsche but for Rich People. 911 GT3 or 911 S/T or 911 R is like a millionaire version of GMA T50 with half the cylinders & 1/10th price. Last gen of people who actually love driving cars & not lifting them to the 26th floor for decoration.
5:23 actually (yes, I'm that guy) It didn't win every race it entered. The 917/30 finished 7th and 2nd in the first two rounds of the 1973 Can Am championship (both races were won by 917/10). From then on, yes, it won every race that year.
Porsche is the quintessential sporting vehicle. They also have an unbelievable and forward-thinking marketing team.
That new GT3 RS is something special...
Good God the Track variant looks ABSOLUTELY MENTAL
5:15 Everyone: The 2023 Red Bull is the most dominant race car of all time That Porsche 917/30: 🖐🖐
Bruh cinematography on this film is alone makes it so special. 😮
BEAUTIFUL... the filming, the edit, the story, the presenting
Absolute perfection on wheels! This Porsche is a masterpiece of speed and style. The design is a work of art, and that engine sound is pure music to my ears. Watching this video just fueled my Porsche obsession even more. Can't get enough of that adrenaline rush! 🏎
Was lucky enough to be at rennsport and see this thing in action and man what a machine
A wild Smith and Sniff sighting..
I just love Porsche!
2:05, The most impressive thing here is that he can distinguish the Macan and the Cayenne. I legit thought until now that porsche only has 1 SUV

I own & drive a 911 in Michigan year-round! It needs to be driven.
My personal favorite is the 962C number 17 that won Le Mans in '87
When I was a litte boy, my dad took me to Elkhart Lake, and I saw Mark Donohue run that absolute Kraken of a 917. My ears are still ringing.
In the early 90’s as a young boy I lived on a Royal Air Force base in Berlin. Every second Sunday the Porsche club of Berlin came to the base and raced their Porsches around the airfield and then all drove by our house on the way home at the end of the day. 911’s 930 and 964, 968’s and even a few 993’s when they were brand new. I’ve been hooked ever since.
That thing you didn’t know what it was is a Porsche tractor that was used for use in between coffee plants or working in a vineyard so you don’t damage the crops, they talked about it on The Late Brake Show
What makes Porsche special? I think because they have the ability to make a 13 minute commercial and we watch every single second of it and ask for more
Yay! The Jagermeister Cayenne!
Wow. Was ein Geschoss. Mega was da entstanden ist!
The most beautiful spec on a Porsche ever❤
Very Interesting documentary I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, so well put together. Thank You
Super nice and beautiful 👍
Can't wait until it arrives.
You've gotta love Johnny Smith and his notition book!
Love how in this 13 minute video, the GT3 R is visible for about 13 seconds.

So GT3 R RS? lmao
Porsche ❤ 926? 944? Etc?
Comical subtitles!!! As a Porscher, what I like the best is to be in control and feel the car, the road, and have to take responsibility. I never let my car drive me. I am the driver, sometimes the pilot. And thus totally in control. Porsche offers cars that make you in control.
