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

    *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.

    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.

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.
