It "never runs out" because it takes 6000 rpm to get to the torque peak. You could probably produce exactly the same feel in a Supercharged S2000, except it'd be faster, and have double wishbones at BOTH ends of the car.

4:35 It's several seconds faster than the 918's laptime and also faster than the old GT3 RS. Look at the distances driven. In the GT3 record video Porsche timed for both ways of timing the lap (full lap like it's timed today and full lap minus the old pits straight, how it was timed up until a few years ago for safety reasons).

Coolest car on the planet right now...sounds, looks, and a perfect blue.

I wonder how fast the GT3 RS is gonna be around a track given how fast this car is... absolutely insane

I always watch Doug’s review to know abt all the features, then come here to enjoy Matt mobbing in the canyons.

Man, that sound!!! Stick or twin-clutch, what a car.

The precision in which UK and US outlets come out simultaneously with the new GT3 - in the same colour, with same spoiler, the only difference being the side of steering wheel - and Atlantic ocean - kinda works with the car. EINFACH GUT GEMACHT!

my gawd that howl.. this thing is awesome

There truly is nothing like Porsches 992 hybrid analog/digital instrument cluster. That's solid Center tach. is positively stunning 😍

17 seconds faster around the NR?? Had to rewind that statement - That's incredible!!

Of all the videos dumped on this, I knew I had to give Matt and Zack their like and view first.

What a machine! GT3 is definitely not a daily driver and I'm happy Porsche made it more raw. If you want fast commuter car - get Turbo S or even regular 911S. The sound alone is worth picking this over Turbo every time.

Not sure why Zack was in the video, Matt talks the whole time and any time Zack tries to talk, Matt gives him 5-10 secs and then takes back over. Reminds me of Leno and his Leno's Garage series, anyone else tries to talk and Leno seems uncertain with what to do and jumps right back in and takes over. Just an observation, I like both Matt and Leno

3 gt3 videos in a row from my subs..great lol

@ 4:35 its actually faster than a 918 if im not mistaken. the gt3 did a 6:55 considering the old layout of the track where the 918 did a 6:57. this makes the new gt3 2 seconds faster than a 900 hp hybrid 918 on the nordschleife.

Great flyby shots

This is my favorite KZread video of all time

Its actually faster than the 918, they were measured on to different track length standards! Gt3 drove the whole lap and the 918 whole track minus a short stretch on which the nordschleife exits to the Grand prix course and the other way around. So if you subtract the stretch the from the gt3’s lap, it's actually faster
