- The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is as race-ready as it gets. We put it through the ringer on the street and the track to see if it's the 911 for the over-the-top adrenaline junky.
Find us on your TV @ www.motorweek.o...
man this channel is like something from 1996
Balkan88 hahahaaa
And not the premium cable 1996. This is 5am KTVQ local whatever 1996...
Balkan88 Yes, the announcer's delivery is really dated.
Seriously
And that’s why we love it
This man been reviewing since the 80s
One of the best colors ever put on an automobile
Eightosaurus Spelunk British racing green?
BIGGIEDEVIL That's not British racing green, though.
@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 color is Forrest green.
This is PTS, yes?
@@pshep138
Yes pts "Brewster Green "
The green paintjob kinda reminds me of the British Racing Green usually used on Jaguar and Aston Martin cars.
The 911 just keeps getting better and this one is truly amazing.
Carl Ryan And completely unaffordable now
Love the old school style narration! its like watching a show from the 80's ...cool review
Definately one of best Motorweek reviews ever
Who is this test driver? One handed and grabbing the wheel at 11 & 1....interesting
The 911 is not the only car could be called the Widowmaker
that is their "chief test driver.... you should see him with his elbow on the window at some review. yikes....
They found him shining shoes at the airport
Yeah he’s holding it at like 10 and 2 not even shifting gears himself...
He almost stuffed it twice what a noob 🤦🏻♂️
Fantastic from all angles in appearance, lose the wing, and perfection is yours
The GT2RS MR has the Nürburgring record again 6:40
Great video, that green on the gt2 is amazing
@@sonny9608 I usually don't like stripes but think it goes with the black aero bits ,in fact I never cared for the style of this generation gt2 .but this green changed my perspective, if I had the money I would get mine without the stripe 👍.
@@rahxe80 color is Forrest Green.
@@turdferguson3855 thanks
I’ll second that.
The color is optional and it costs 18000$
Moss green paint job looks amazing on that GT2 RS
I love motorweek and I love this car!!!
Love the channel and colour commentary brings back memories.
Still great. This show is still a PBS show and is the original.
Very nice! Although if I'm driving this beast I'd put my hands in the correct position..
The cost of the Weissach package is absurd, but it looks so good.
DREAM CAR !!!
In the infamous words of Mortal Kombat this car is "Superb".
nfamousonline outstanding
Fun fact: it actually has the best brakes out of all production cars and they didnt even do a brake test
Hey, that's Summit Point's main course. Drove on that track with my modified yet modest, will-get-blow-away-by-this-Porsche, 2004 Nissan 350Z.
No EV can replicate the driving experience of driving a car like the GT2RS, it would not even be close.
Absolutely AWESOME!!!!
Baddest production Porsche on the planet.
Driver needed a few practice laps first before filming...cant fault him, we all would need it with this German Meisterstuck...
I don't know how I missed this 5 years ago.
I wish they'd talked about the liquid intercooler in the frunk & how much distilled water it consumed.
That's always been a worry for me about the GT2RS & I think that's why so many of these cars were
put up for re-sale so quickly.
LoL me too lol
Great car.
Awesome, the best street production car made to date.
A Porsche review, your grandaddy would love!
Demon? Yes, this isn’t a serious show!
Great car, underwhelming sound
Wonderful thanks.
LOOK AT THAT SPOILER @ 2:39......Beautiful PORSCHE lettering.....IN CARBON FIBER. DROOL.
@Sergio Aguirre Oh a wiseguy huh? You wanna get technical eh? Well thats fine. But since you said it, ill have to agree it isnt a spoiler, and technically it isnt a wing either. Wings by definition provide lift, have control surfaces like flaps, slats and ailerons and are usually attached to aircraft...the 911 is not an aircraft. So technically.....its an Airfoil, for which the function is to deflect air upward, producing downforce......not lift.
That's a very nice looking frog. :-D
Super Kermit!!
Lol tscooter22 that was good.i never thought of it looking like a frog,but now I think it does. Now I love the Porsches even more
A wise man once said: Squashed volkswagen beetle
I never knew that dark green 911 with carbon bits would look that good! Not my favorite but so close.
Simply insane to me that a V12 Lamborghini bested the GT2 RS's Nurburgring lap record! Goes to show you what's going on in the VW-Audi group. Starting next year, Porsche will have control over Lamborghini instead of Audi.
Gamer Dad I think Porsche got it back...
Is this the guy who used to introduce Johny Carson? 😆
Widow Maker 2.0!!! Man I'm really digging that Green!!! But unfortunately I'd rather have a 720s but sadly I can't afford either💰☹️💰☹️💰
Some of those rear shots of the car hurling around the track, is that the tailpipes glowing?
If anyone asks you how to define German Engineering, simply point to this car.
The 911 used to be a car that actively tried to kill you, it wasn't a car with a narrow edge at performance extremes it straight up tried to kill you, at performance levels not even 10% of what's represented here. This level of performance with the engine being in the 2nd worst place imaginable. It's almost magic.
It's not magic, it's computers. The imbalance of putting the engine behind the rear axle could only be overcome by traction and stability control systems, among other technologies. I love Porsche, it's my favorite brand in fact, but the laws of physics guarantee that the 911 would still be trying to kill you if these amazing technologies hadn't come around.
EKS
No, not magic... it's called engineering!
BTI
You are correct that the GT2-RS and GT3-RS are the only Porsche models that allows nannies to be fully disabled, but doing so will probably kill you, unless you're an expert driver. That's exactly what my previous comment says.
@@dlg5485 911s were winning races long before traction and stability control.
Pennywise
Did I say they weren't? I know how great Porsches are, which I clearly stated in my first comment. Of course an professional driver can tame an old school Porsche becasue they're trained to handle the dynamics of a rear engine chassis without any help, but obviously I'm talking about regular everyday drivers.
it should be good for 50 years in the making
German superiority knows no bound....they did again...👍👍👍
If i could buy this i would. Best car ever built.!.!
Man thats one beautiful 911!! Its sad that is lacking a manual. I preffer shifting and down shifting with a clutch! The only way it suppose to be.
love how you can see the cats glowing
Resol where?
nawwal zaharan at 4:15 look closely in the exhaust
Resol dude, it is. Thanks man 👋🏻
Omg i love ur new vids, they are like retro
oof...that jacket is a walking fire hazard. Great car
Wow what a machine 👍
1:24 had to watch twice to make sure I heard that right... WOW!!
Beautiful car!
What's with the goofy driving, and especially, hand positions of your drivers?
omg thank you
this
Those are for the "action" shots... I wish they had done some serious laps and published lap times...
straight arms are perfect racing technique :]
$294,000 ?!! Are kidding try more like $500,000 if you find one for sale, I can't even order a gt3
ahh theres nothing like a motorweek video filled with broad generalities and strained emotion to put your mind at ease..
this commentary is from the Rich and Famous show
I love that colour
It's a great supercar. But, I prefer the 720s.
Just saw one driving in Glen Burnie MD. Sick
Very nice specs !!
Yes, please!
Fantastic car although I think I would go for the GT3 because of it’s sound manual box and price!
Nice. I only need like 284,250 dara!
NICE LID BEN.
Fun Fact: If you remove the 211 MPH speed limiter, the GT2 RS will go all the way up to 224 MPH!
Not bad for a glorified VW Beetle. 😁
I hate being a working class sucker that can't afford this car I wish money wasn't a problem
I couldn't afford the maintenance of this car. Anyone want to guess the cost is? The nice thing about Porsche's is there value over time. In 10 years it could still be worth over $200k. I'm going to ask for and say I'm a Vette guy and think the new ZR1 is a better deal. OK, let me have it you Porsche guys, who's going to throw the first stone?
@@rondail5675 im not gonna throw no stone
Yes please....
Nice car.
Best review so far!! Excellent job guys...as usual.
Less power than a *Demon but hey ..it's lighter ..what a silly statement comparing rocket with a sack of potatoes
Let's see the Demon go through 3 tanks of gas on a hot track day without complaining. The Demon's brakes and engine would give out in less than 20 mins, too much heat, too much weight.
I hate it when shows like this compare a true engineering masterpiece to a car that is nothing more than a truck motor with a supercharger stuffed into a reworked sedan platform.
And before all the inbred Dodge owners start talking about price, just remember, this Porsche will still be worth 90% of what it costs even 5 years from now, if not more. Demons depreciate faster than used toilet paper......
@@meterdoogles you're an idiot who thinks theyre genius...This is a track car DUH... Demons are boulevard brawlers ....
That driver needs to learn how to hold a steering wheel...
*YOU HEARD ME* johnny boy getting a little crochety in his old age huh?
Country roads.. Take my home..
Is there a waiting list?
What is the highest level 911 you can have with a manual transmission?
In 2018 911 gt3
GT3
2019 Speedster
Can you get the GT3 RS with a manual?
Florida Maddogg no only the gt3
Thanks - but no measures performance data to go along with this review, or even a lap time?? Maybe the driver wouldn’t loose control of the car if he wasn’t resting his arm on the door 🤔...
I'm guessing you didn't understand it holds the production car record at the ring.🤔
Steve X there are differing relative lap times between it and the 720S, so more data is better imo.
@@taforth then go buy both and please tell me your lap times in each.
Steve X why so defensive/negative? Were you the driver with one hand on the wheel 😉?
@@taforth how was that being defensive? You ask about lap times and come back about a car that's not even being reviewed?
It took me decades to realize how nonsense it is to hear John talking about a car he hasn't even driven, just stands next to, hasn't drive any of these cars in probably 15 years.
He is a great host, and has been for decades. Much respect.
That voice though
What sets him apart
Do these people know its not 1989 anymore? The commentary is just as dull as it can be..
I think they are catering to old folks - the analogy about "you wish your teenager was this responsive" and then them being happy with an auto transmission screams old folks.
I like the automatic it is faster than manual!
That isn't really the point tho bro.. The point of a manual is the CHALLENGE it presents and allows the driver to be fully in touch and feel their car having FULL control. Letting computers do all the work takes away from the driving experience in my opinion.
Momma Mia that car is HOT!
That was 2018 car?not 2019
I like oversteer in my Porsche👍
Like to see it up against the Camaro lz le1 on track
It wouldnt even be close.. The GT2 would smoke the Camaro.. And the GT2 RS is like 800lbs less with superior acceleration and better handling. The GT2 RS is pretty much better in EVERY way.
Doug DeMuro needs to review THIS!
You mean screeching voice DeMURO... ;-) He has no clue what this car is!
I agree completely. This is a car to be tested by a Chris Harris or Randy Pobst, not Dealing Doug Demuro.
Tempsho: he just did, I watched it today 10/23/18 on Dougs channel. Guess what the Doug Score was...
Erik Hertzer was just a matter of time until somebody offered it up for him to review! 71 btw lol
You guys ever hear of color correction? Motorweek is supposed to be a professional media company, but that opening shot just looks terrible. Otherwise great video.
3:47 needs a trigger warning ⚠️ very stressful
top car
$294K.... I dont think so.
Patrick Pierre Probably closer to half a mil with dealer markup
Forget about ever getting one no matter what you pay..You have to have "connections"
Lottery dreams
After the advertising I didn't see the car until about 40 seconds in the video.
IT'S JOKE
Whats more impressive of a 3.8 engine? Porsche or McLaren?
720S vs. Gt2RS???
@@JerseyMikeP not the cars but engines.
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 Got it.
McLaren bought the design from Nissan as it was one of their Race Engine designs. Not sure how much of it the modded from Original.
Flat inherently has a Center of gravity advantage just like the V8 has a Space advantage and lighter/smaller pistons so it should be able to rev higher with less stress....also have 8 extra valves to move.... " in theory, more air".
McLaren's Issue is with suspension or something...something is happening why their cars don't post that great of times on tracks when they have such great power to weight? They obviously have great straight-line acceleration from a dig. I'd still take the 720S over the GT2RS. Sick of how they charge so much for what it's made of/how it's built.
Porsche fans Love to say the interior is so great...but it's not worth $100k.
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 Porsche had flat 8 and 12s...I wish they would design their top models with them...atleast that's what every other brand offers for the massive extra $$$. Having a 745iL vs. a 760iL or a v10 Gallardo vs. V12 aventador is a BIG selling point.
Sounds less exciting than the price is right
Porsche All Day Long.
Damn this color is sexy!!
Nice outfit.
I dont like green cars but man i just changed my mind ...lol
They haven’t driven much I guess
$295,250
Jesus fucking Christ
How are there so many porsche enthusiast when most of there cars are unobtainable to the average working person.
What? People can't have a dream?
I guess if I was a racer and wanted to head to the track and had that kind of money then it makes sense for this car ....otherwise a total waste on the streets.
So would a good bottle of single malt... when you can have cheap tequila.
Sergio Aguirre .....hmmm, I guess the question to ask would be if I had this special Porsche would I want to waste it and risk it out on regular streets or just take a GTR with 2000hp on the street and keep the special Porsche for the track ? The same can be asked of people with Lambo’s and Ferrari’s and Mclarens . The answer always comes back to if you had the money what diff would it make .
The reviewer really should pronounce "Weissach" properly.
Yet another 911? Geez
