I'm a simple man, I don't care about a Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren nor do I care about exotics like Koenigsegg or Pagani. Just gimme this new GT3, deep black with plain silver rims and i'm more than happy :-) No matter what, Porsche will always be king for me!
BMW ///M made some of the greatest NA engines (M88/S38, S62, S85, S65, S50, S54). They make cool turbo engines now, but i'm sure, if they could, they would go back to big NA engines with high RPM. It used to be the ///M trademark.
Showing off? PDK is for track use or for those who commute a lot. I like a Manual myself but if I was serious about lap times there wouldn't be a question what to go for
thedownshiftchannel At least they heard us and listened that we want a REAL driver's car, whereas other company's like to Lambo and Fezza will not give a shit as long as rich people buy those PlayStation feel like cars.
Not a hybrid? Check Manual gearbox? Check Rear-wheel drive? Check power levels over 9000! ? Check I got nothing, this car is perfect. Although she's too fast for hooning on regular roads, you have to use the track to stretch her legs.
Rear engine? Electric steering? Rear wheel steering? Strut suspension? Plastic body parts? Oh and the fact that you won't be able to buy one without paying some already rich bloke a massive premium! Engine sounds potentially like one for the ages though. Would rather it was in the middle like Porsche's GT racers.
Phone your Porsche dealer. They were sold out months ago. Production is limited by capacity. They can't make more than 4000 cars a year so all of this year's allocation is gone. Porsche's preferred customers get first refusal starting with 918 customers (that was the deal at the time, Porsche were worried they wouldn't sell them all so came up with a get richer quick scheme). All the cars will be flipped for more money so they will all say yes. Real enthusiasts have to pay premiums. Good luck if you can get one, you'll have a great car and make money too.
kraenk12 I know tgt crew owns this, but it doesn't mean they were going to spend the money on it. I know the track shots are from porsche, but the studio shots were what I was referring to.
You guys had the fastest, best quality and most detailed reveal videos on both this and the McLaren 720s this morning. Super impressed and happy to have these great videos to watch!
This new manual option GT3 with its 4.0l engine that revs to 9000 (something the GT3 RS does not do), Porsche has made both the GT3 RS and 911 R redundant. I love it!😎
What if the next RS revs to 9200 rpm and has 525hp? Or maybe there will be an RS 4.2 with 550hp? Still, this with the manual gearbox is the stuff of dreams 😎
I can't think of a person in the auto industry I admire more than Andreas Preuninger. He always has such obvious passion, knowledge and attention to detail. The car looks incredible as well.
It's always a pleasure to listen to, Andreas Preuninger talking about one of his creations. Beautiful car i must say. Porsche are slaying everyone right now!
Ingenious Porsche for having the head of GT talk about the epitome of an enthusiasts car! After having Andreas cover the details and work involved, not only does it make one appreciate it more, but man the want factor is sky high even before hearing or seeing it drive!
I swear I just finished watching it, and my eyes got a little watery :') I could watch Andreas talk about his children for days and days. I have loved Porsches for years, and they are very dear to my heart, but this man birthed them. I'll never love a Porsche as much as him.
salomondrin knew about this car a while ago. he thinks theyre seperate niches and that his 911r will be fine in the long run. plus, hes a porsche vip collector, he gets all the 911's XD
It equates to several seconds on track, plus can make it an easier car around town. Still, its a hard choice now between manual or that glorious pdk they have.
i would ask you "how is a 911 R more mechanical and analog than this?", but i already know you can't answer that because it was a silly argument in the first place. the 911 R is a marketing stunt, an accountant's dream: less car, for more money.
I'd say a lot less downforce, sound deadening wise... maybe? The unreachable redline is definitely a plus lol I think when they say analog they mean like an old car, the immersion, the sound experience, the overall feel is probably different. And because it's limited it becomes different. It's like comparing a GT3RS to a Cayman GTS, doesn't make much sense, right?
I love that guy! You can instantly hear and kinda feel he loves what he is doing and is truly passionate about it! Also I think his English is really good, I sound kinda like him as an Austrian haha. Every car manufacturer needs at least one person like him!
I like how in depth Andreas got into things. How often do you hear about a new car and they talk about the finger follower design? or the kind of flywheel? More like this please!!
As a prior owner of a 991.1 gt3 who purchased a 991.2 gt3, they are tremendously different. You can tell the large improvements in the second version within the first 5 minutes.
Mr. Preuninger shows how good marketing for a new product replacing an already great product ("old" GT3s) is done and makes a great statement showing and convincibly "selling" the passion for engineering that must be a core value to the entire brand with his focus on technical insights he gives us here. It s this very approach that makes the brand as a whole or the entire 911 series so desirable.
Great Video Henry, great to Andreas and his comments on the 911R are very telling - and heart felt. You can tell, to him and the engineers, it was a special car where they were 'allowed' to build the car THEY wanted. This GT3 looks great thought, would be fun to play with the PTS choices on the body and the accent pieces like the rear intakes and end-plates. Perhaps Nardo Grey with Black accent pieces ?
I am very pleased to hear that there is a manual gearbox option for this beast ! I hope Porsche sells a lot of those, so in 10 years they will be more obtainable than the 911R that I was drooling over, which is impossible to get even in 100 years.
Awesome Video. love it when the head Technical guys do their thing, and get Technical explaining all the bits that they have improved. Solid lifters are for sure to change the Note of the Roar at full throttle.
It's very very rare I see a car that I wouldn't change a single thing about. They have absolutely nailed the new GT3. I hope Porsche can set an example for other manufacturers and get them back on track with engineering and platforms for those that love to drive and not just talk numbers.
"If you want a car for track use and go every other weekend, ah, fight to fight the stopwatch at your local track - go for PDK, definitely. If you use the car maybe not on track but as a daily commuter, going through traffic; take the PDK. But, if you want a drivers car, a fun car - take the manual". Love it :-)
if your a really technical type of car enthusiasts this video is glorious soooooo many minute changes that make such a great difference its amazing because the 991 gt3 gen 1 was was such a great car & this looks like it blows it out the water witch is almost hard to wrap my brain around
Ever since they introduced the side air intake on the turbo s and the front fender grills on the RS, I just can't imagine any future 911 models without one of those two
One of the most given advice by successful people is to "Do What You Love and success will follow".... Exhibit A! Mr Andreas Preuninger.....you can see his love and passion bursting out from his heart when he talks about his cars.....which are otherworldly amazing. Makes me believe that peice of advice =) p.s. Amazing Work DriveTribe! it's exquisite EVO but even better =)
I'm a simple man, I don't care about a Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren nor do I care about exotics like Koenigsegg or Pagani. Just gimme this new GT3, deep black with plain silver rims and i'm more than happy :-) No matter what, Porsche will always be king for me!
Porsche thanks for returning to manual gearboxes as an option. Finally an automaker that understands there is more to cars then lap times 👍👍
4 liters, 6 cylinders, 493 hp, NA, 9000 rpm
Some people at ///M must feel sad :p
What has M to do with GT porsches
BMW ///M made some of the greatest NA engines (M88/S38, S62, S85, S65, S50, S54).
They make cool turbo engines now, but i'm sure, if they could, they would go back to big NA engines with high RPM.
It used to be the ///M trademark.
M RO M///has fallen especially since f8x with the s55 twin turbo. Soulless to say the least.
500 hp
We need a modern 917 (just like Ford with the Ford GT 2005)
Then put a 4 liter flat 12 that revs to 9K :D
so much respect for the Porsche GT team. love how passionate they are about their cars
My perfect car! Thank you Porsche for still making manual gearboxes for people who love driving, rather than just showing off!
Showing off? PDK is for track use or for those who commute a lot. I like a Manual myself but if I was serious about lap times there wouldn't be a question what to go for
People who are more interested about lap times are mostly showoffs. All they do is brag.
Are you kidding??? LOL Porsche gearboxes are among the worst!!!
I had a big grin on my face trough out the entire video. The passion behind this car just comes straight through the screen.
Holy fucking shit I love the drivetribe editing team. I love it when a video is made like a piece of art.
Turboxide you should take a look at the petrolicious channel if you haven't already
Paul Barker yeah, Petrolicious are the masters and deserve more views.
Porsche have really nailed that gap in the market offering both gearboxes with a high revving NA engine!
thedownshiftchannel At least they heard us and listened that we want a REAL driver's car, whereas other company's like to Lambo and Fezza will not give a shit as long as rich people buy those PlayStation feel like cars.
The sad thing is it shouldn’t be a gap.
I’m glad that Porsche offer cars for every racer. I’m down with the PDK. Sorry. 🤷🏽♂️
911 GT3 might be the best all-round supercar right now.
I mean, c'mon! What else comes close? They always sacrifice one thing or the other.
Not a hybrid? Check
Manual gearbox? Check
Rear-wheel drive? Check
power levels over 9000! ? Check
I got nothing, this car is perfect. Although she's too fast for hooning on regular roads, you have to use the track to stretch her legs.
Roy Rki I just want it to be coupe 😭
I can't think of a single thing that isn't appealing about it, phenomenal car. Andreas you are a legend!!
Rear engine? Electric steering? Rear wheel steering? Strut suspension? Plastic body parts? Oh and the fact that you won't be able to buy one without paying some already rich bloke a massive premium! Engine sounds potentially like one for the ages though. Would rather it was in the middle like Porsche's GT racers.
Why won't you be able to buy one? It's not Limited Edition, Porsche have already said that they'll build as many as they can sell.
mrwicksy getting a 991.2 GT3 RS was not so easy in some countries....production levels was not that high.
Phone your Porsche dealer. They were sold out months ago. Production is limited by capacity. They can't make more than 4000 cars a year so all of this year's allocation is gone. Porsche's preferred customers get first refusal starting with 918 customers (that was the deal at the time, Porsche were worried they wouldn't sell them all so came up with a get richer quick scheme). All the cars will be flipped for more money so they will all say yes. Real enthusiasts have to pay premiums. Good luck if you can get one, you'll have a great car and make money too.
The videography of this video puts top gear and the grand tour to shame. Absolutely incredible. This channel is going to blow up!
You do realise this channel belongs to Clarkson and co, right?! BTW in this case the driving footage is Porsche material.
kraenk12 I know tgt crew owns this, but it doesn't mean they were going to spend the money on it. I know the track shots are from porsche, but the studio shots were what I was referring to.

This new manual option GT3 with its 4.0l engine that revs to 9000 (something the GT3 RS does not do), Porsche has made both the GT3 RS and 911 R redundant. I love it!😎
Porsche just doesn´t give a fuck! If they can make a better car, they will...and this is spectacular!
The 911 R rev's to how much?
I thought redline was the same as this : o
What if the next RS revs to 9200 rpm and has 525hp? Or maybe there will be an RS 4.2 with 550hp? Still, this with the manual gearbox is the stuff of dreams 😎
It will murder all the competition.
Ctrl952 5.0 flat six n/a that revs to 10k. fuck it
Dream job Porsche GT division.Dream boss Andreas Preuninger.
Porsche is Wildin out, GT4, 911R, GT3RS, this new GT3. Thank you sweet baby Jesus.
As in past presentations, it is a delight to hear Mr. Preuninger.
Give that photography director a cookie!
From out of nowhere to some of the absolute best car content available, anywhere, period. Well done, DriveTribe.
if I can wish upon a star, this will be the "only car"
I can't think of a person in the auto industry I admire more than Andreas Preuninger. He always has such obvious passion, knowledge and attention to detail. The car looks incredible as well.
The quality of your videos is going through the roof at the moment. Loving it!
It's always a pleasure to listen to, Andreas Preuninger talking about one of his creations.
Beautiful car i must say. Porsche are slaying everyone right now!
I am a simple man: I read manual GT3, I click like.
Ingenious Porsche for having the head of GT talk about the epitome of an enthusiasts car!
After having Andreas cover the details and work involved, not only does it make one appreciate it more, but man the want factor is sky high even before hearing or seeing it drive!
This guy is awesome. Henry is awesome as always. This whole video is awesome. DRIVETRIBE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
With EVO. Not kidding.
I swear I just finished watching it, and my eyes got a little watery :') I could watch Andreas talk about his children for days and days. I have loved Porsches for years, and they are very dear to my heart, but this man birthed them. I'll never love a Porsche as much as him.
top content right here. 20min of quality programming, great lighting and editing. excellent video
I'm starting to feel sorry for Evo now, LOL.
Mikeado66 Wait so what happened. Did these guys leave EVO? Why?
Zir S Presumably DT made them an offer they couldn't refuse. They're now making much the same content but here instead of there.
Mikeado66 Oh damn. I noticed Evo had been making nothing but those auction videos which led me to unsub. Maybe these guys leaving explains it. #RIPEvo
Evo did a video about this car aswell. It has "exclusive" in the title. As it seems it isn't that exclusive after all...
I still like evo, that dan prosser is still worth a watch with good driving and content
I could listen to Andreas and Henry talking about Porsches all day!
991.2 GT3 Manual!
DRIVETRIBE - your content is amazing. Most in-depth look at the new GT3 and interview with Preuninger I've seen so far. Keep it up!
I love seeing Henry Catchpole here, this is awesome
thank you andreas preuninger and porsche GT team.
Wow! I'm speechless. What a machine and as always Andreas Preuninger is a class act. Well done sir.
I could listen to these two all day long.
the two people who disliked this are salomondrin and one another 911 R owner
Jatin Sharma 😂 Porsche VIP Treatment
i dont see why the 911 R owners would not like this car... Andreas said theyre still somewhat different
salomondrin knew about this car a while ago. he thinks theyre seperate niches and that his 911r will be fine in the long run. plus, hes a porsche vip collector, he gets all the 911's XD
Every R owner hates the GT3 Touring
*"PDK si faster"*
I couldn't care less abouth those tenths. Give me the manual. Let me have fun. Let me make fun.
ThePandaBeat you are absolutely right, long live to manual please
Couldn't said it better my self
I totally agree.
It equates to several seconds on track, plus can make it an easier car around town. Still, its a hard choice now between manual or that glorious pdk they have.
Andreas Preuninger, what a legend
best car of geneva for me. A fraction of the price of most other supercars, yet twice as awesome as anything else
I could listen to this man explain the details of the car for hours
great stuff, DT, great reviews and they have the incomparable Henry, a real reviewer imo
911R suddenly looks a whole lot less special
911R will always be special. Porsche will never build a car that pure again for decades.
Nic Greig different cars. The 911R is more mechanical, analog, than this. And limited unlike this.
But i do think the 911R will take a hit value wise
Nic Greig if your still holding onto the R and paid a premium, it's sad
i would ask you "how is a 911 R more mechanical and analog than this?", but i already know you can't answer that because it was a silly argument in the first place. the 911 R is a marketing stunt, an accountant's dream: less car, for more money.
I'd say a lot less downforce, sound deadening wise... maybe? The unreachable redline is definitely a plus lol
I think when they say analog they mean like an old car, the immersion, the sound experience, the overall feel is probably different. And because it's limited it becomes different. It's like comparing a GT3RS to a Cayman GTS, doesn't make much sense, right?
Always great to see Mr P talking so passionately about his product. He really does live and breath Porsche! Great video from DriveTribe
I love the technical aspect of this. Well done!
Can I like this video twice? And as an engineer I guess there is no need to explain how much I admire Andreas
Andreas is so professionally passionate.... Very good interview
I love that guy! You can instantly hear and kinda feel he loves what he is doing and is truly passionate about it! Also I think his English is really good, I sound kinda like him as an Austrian haha. Every car manufacturer needs at least one person like him!
I like how in depth Andreas got into things. How often do you hear about a new car and they talk about the finger follower design? or the kind of flywheel? More like this please!!
14:50 Can we see the graph?????
what amazing engineering, and love hearing it explained with such passion
Last time I was this early JR Garage was still selling lemonade
Connor Kinsey oh fuck him
He can afford his cars now because he sold all the lemonade. Chuck norris was mad.
Outstanding work and interview.
the 991.2 GT3 seems even better than the previous one. Cannot wait to see it in action
That car, pinstripe and all, with a 6spd manual = EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Our normal job” = making the car as fast as possible. Great interview!
As a prior owner of a 991.1 gt3 who purchased a 991.2 gt3, they are tremendously different. You can tell the large improvements in the second version within the first 5 minutes.
Listen about a new GT3 with a manual gearbox and 4 liter NA flat six that revs to 9.000 rpm is EXTASIS!!!
Andreas, what a legend.
this channel is just amazing
Great video as allways. thx Drivetribe!
Manual? Thank you lord!
Henry Catchpole and DriveTribe - A match made in heaven? I think so...
Absolutely sick! Love the rear deck lid and front bumper and of course 6-speed.
Great video! That car, oh my, oh my.
Thank you Porsche!
holy crap I could listen to this guy for hours
Mr. Preuninger shows how good marketing for a new product replacing an already great product ("old" GT3s) is done and makes a great statement showing and convincibly "selling" the passion for engineering that must be a core value to the entire brand with his focus on technical insights he gives us here.

dat side burn tho

These videos look like commercial spots. Love the editing
Sorry 911R speculators.
Andreas with grace and simpatico as usual.
Awesome Video.
love it when the head Technical guys do their thing, and get Technical explaining all the bits that they have improved.
Solid lifters are for sure to change the Note of the Roar at full throttle.
Man, I could listen to these two gentlemen talk for like 6 hours like this...
Finally Porsche is admitting it was wrong to give the last gen GT3 only PDK.
Mick Wrinkles I don't think so, they just made getting a manual in this one so much sweeter.
Roberto Arkenburg
Serious Porsche guys didn't buy a last gen one in the first place. Percentage of manuals sales are low anyway.
Incredible!!! Plus a manual
I can't afford one and will never get to drive one but they are gorgeous. Head case drivers car.
Kalgoorlie10 this car it's very attainable
Stunnig, I am and will alway's favor Porsche..............This is an instant Classic, SWEET!
I love the indepth engineering talk!
The best looking modern Porsche.
Nice to see the option!
i like the tag\team, or even good cop\bad cop you could say with Jethro and Henry
Beautiful, very well done, slight but key changes....
It's very very rare I see a car that I wouldn't change a single thing about. They have absolutely nailed the new GT3. I hope Porsche can set an example for other manufacturers and get them back on track with engineering and platforms for those that love to drive and not just talk numbers.
What a fantastic video
"If you want a car for track use and go every other weekend, ah, fight to fight the stopwatch at your local track - go for PDK, definitely. If you use the car maybe not on track but as a daily commuter, going through traffic; take the PDK. But, if you want a drivers car, a fun car - take the manual". Love it :-)
Fascinating stuff
thank you cayman GT4 to bring the old times and manual gearboxes back
Great work ! DriveTribe!!!!!! I want more of these video that Tell what happened during the car developpement! sorry my english is not perfection!
Just beautiful.
if your a really technical type of car enthusiasts this video is glorious soooooo many minute changes that make such a great difference its amazing because the 991 gt3 gen 1 was was such a great car & this looks like it blows it out the water witch is almost hard to wrap my brain around
Marcel Robertson same here in my head the Gen 1 was perfect but seeing this I'm awe struck bravo 👏 Porsche
this is just simple bliss..
This is just beautiful.
Ever since they introduced the side air intake on the turbo s and the front fender grills on the RS, I just can't imagine any future 911 models without one of those two
I was lucky enough to find one of these and ask the owner to review it up, and it sounds just as good as I imagined
Great guy to interview.
One of the most given advice by successful people is to "Do What You Love and success will follow"....
Exhibit A! Mr Andreas Preuninger.....you can see his love and passion bursting out from his heart when he talks about his cars.....which are otherworldly amazing.
Makes me believe that peice of advice =)
p.s. Amazing Work DriveTribe! it's exquisite EVO but even better =)
What a gentleman!
1:07 this Porsche guy is so well suited for his job even his nose is aerodynamic ✌🏻😎
Mr. Preuninger, thanks for an exciting presentation, as always. Will the RS version also be available with a manual gearbox?
