The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a Hero Maker | MotorWeek Track Test
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
At this point, we’ve given up predicting just how far Porsche can go with the iconic 911. For almost 60-years now, they’ve proved this rear-engine sports car is capable of things few thought possible. And now there’s a new GT3 RS that yet again takes performance to a new level. Time for us to try to figure it all out through the twists and turns of Savannah’s Roebling Road Raceway. #Porsche #Porsche911GT3RS #911GT3RS

First domestic review of the 992 GT3 RS that I’ve seen so far - congrats!
This is the 911 to have! I really wish we got to see John Davis behind the wheel of some of these vehicles though.

*if you're going to the track. The GT3RS is not exactly practical for daily driving. Certainly not one my wife would choose to go to dinner in. For the street, I'd probably take a Turbo S or even a GTS. The extra money could go to a dedicated track weapon.

Off all the companies out there, Porshe knows how to make a race track variant look incredibly focused but yet it has a tasteful demeanor that doesn't seem too over stylized.

See, you forgot a 'c' there...no biggie. I've got a Pugatti and a Terrari 881 to sell. How about a PMW, N5? Porshe? Are you serious?🤦 You know your stuff, don't ya?
Mind-boggling variants of racing performance, but still pure Porsche.
Imagine how mental the GT2 RS of this generation will be.

All true. Mr. John Davis is Motorweek personified.
I love MotorWeek and have for 40 years. A couple things I'd like to see is the lap and slalom times as compared to other cars in this segment. This car is track ready but I don't know how it might fare against other similar cars. 0-60 and quarter mile doesn't mean that much to me without context.
Presenter is such a legend.
Awesome review as always John & happy belated birthday!
From widow maker to hero maker in under 30 years!
2:40 that's some bold claims! Well it's the pinnacle isn't?!
Considering that a 1972 GT3 or 2 RS is over a million dollars. It's a keeper.
It's an amazing machine!
At full jolt on shifts with PDK you get little bucks on next gear... ;-( I'd prefer a 6spd Manual for FTD on Street too and Track.
OMG, I love this car 🖤🏁😎
Epic introduction 🤣🤣🤣
The wider rear shots approaching and exiting corners looks like a video game. Shame most will not even drive on track. I see they have engineered the kick with the shifts
So the roll cage is available in the US?
Why show the euro-spec, we’re unable to get in the US?! You don’t do that…
Nice to see this race the zo6 c8 corvette
That is a sweet helmet. And i'm not a racing fanatic.
It's cool i guess. If I could afford one the Dakar version is more my speed.
'To make it a weapon of MASS DOMINATION for pro drivers," is spot on.

Stating that is risky. Its more likely to create more windows than heroes. Engineering driver aids to make one a better driver is a recipe for making average drivers greatly exceed their abilities.
I'm not sure if I care for the looks of this newest RS model. Even though it's a purpose built car, it just looks WAAAAY too busy for my taste.

P: Ja hallo, Porsche here. Good news! We have created the perfect car. So fast and nimble. Is like nothing else. We call it GT3 RS. Us: How much is it? P: Not so much. Like 200K of your American dollars. Us: Oh, cool! Can I buy one? P: Sorry, no. Us: Why not? P: We only made 4 and they are all sold.
I give it a month or two before I lose my license owning this rocket ship. It would be difficult to drive this at legal street speeds.
Is this Porsche street legal or is there a street-legal version of that car?

Yes, this is street legal.
What track car? Some think this should be a Car and Coffee show car and park in garage. Never mind the crazy amount of aero purposeful for track. Many may never even see the the track which would be a huge disservice to Porsche engineers since the posers that can’t even track the car will own it and no surprise their first Porsche 🤨 Porsche if you are listening, make enough cars so drivers that will track this car can own one and drive it the way it was meant to be driven. The car is a masterpiece
The one thing Porsche does better than any other Sportscar manufacturer is buildind a Porsche. So simple...😂😂🤦
