Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey Racing has a long name. But the story is quite short and simple: it’s a tuned GT2 RS by Manthey Racing, and it’s the fastest road-legal car to lap the Nürburgring. Now, it’s Chris’s turn. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear

    The problem it's that is filmed in a different frame rate than it's exported at in post, so every single Chris Harris video has a horrible stutter on it. I don't know how no one else mentions this, let alone anyone fix it. Can't wait for them to make the change.

I’d like to drive what I think is the most beautiful Porsche - the 904 GTS (a model of which sits on my desk), but the price is beyond my reach. I had a lot of fun with these beautiful machines!

    I’m the orignal owner of a 993 C2S, 997.2 GT3 and 991.1 GT3 RS. I take the GT3 and RS to the track - drive in the morning, track it all day, then drive home. They are remarkable cars on the track and even more remarkable afterward when you drive home comfortable with the A/C and radio on. Porsche owners take great pride in being able to do that and in putting miles on the car. What I’ve found in going to cars & coffee events is that Porsche owners always lament how few miles they get to drive due to family and work obligations while other high end car owners (Ferrari) brag about how few miles they have on their cars. There really is no comparison, for performance, longevity and quality, Porsche is the best.

    Chris, helper springs are effectively zero spring rate once the car is on the ground. They're used to keep the short main springs from misaligning at full suspension droop, where they would otherwise be uncompressed and free to move laterally. You must be thinking of tender springs, which are given a bit more rate.

    It's a tradeoff. The street cars the GT3 cars are based on are usually a lot faster and more powerful (GT3R has circa 550 hp I think). The street cars make better use of the long straights such as the one Portimao has, the trap speed at the end is some 30+ km/h faster than on GT3 cars which are restricted by BOP. Either way you're right. Aero packages on these cars are so extreme they're racing slicks and some extra weight away from racecar status.
