Wow - this video deserves way more views. This is the most in-depth review I've seen and makes you really appreciate the 992.
Thank you for the kind words. Please share this video with those who might appreciate it!
I can't wait for the 992 GT3 touring
These videos are great. Thanks to the TPC guys for sharing these lovely details. What a machine.
Glad you like them!
Wow! That was very interesting. Seeing all the details is amazing. Especially with competent people around giving their opinions. Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@PorscheClubofAmerica Oh yes! I love technical parts like that. Very rare in this quality.
Tell you what, Mike is for sure the guy to talk about concerning anything Porsche. This GT3 cup car is a work of art. Like he says, attention to detail, that's a Porsche thing, and also, listening to customers. Fantastic racecar this one 👍🏻 Very good video, thank you
Couldn't agree more!
amazing video! please do another one when 992 GT3 road car is available - want to see the front suspension geometry difference between cup vs. road car!
Vu an Mike thanks for the tour, It is really fascinating to see ideas used in some club race member now in the factory cars an the amazing improvements they have made.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Vu! I'm headed to Sebring in a couple days to watch these new cars in action. It'll be great to see all this technology put to work. Great video as usual!
Thank you!
really really cool insight thank you all...porsche for life.
Such an informative video. I wouldn’t have minded if it was 2 hours lomg
Thanks for uploading this. There are not a lot of in-depth videos for the cup cars.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed the video, good luck on track
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this. Keep the technical content coming!
Really appreciate the details you pulled into this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Some nice improvements. I think we can see some hints (hopefully) of what is due to come in the new 992 GT3 RS.
Nice video about the 992 Cup car. Agree with Chris (below). Ditto!! Can wait to see these cars in person. Thanks to you I'll have a better grasp. :)
ABS is a nice addition! No need to apologize for its presence, there are plenty of other driver aids this car does not have.
True. Even the GT1 Porsche's of the 90s had it.
Another great video, Vu!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very good technical info. thank you
OMG.. WOW Vu.. that made my day!! Amazing insight into these machines.. thank you!!👍😎👍
And Best of Luck to Mike!!👍👍
Our pleasure!
964 Cups were delivered in customer-selected colors. White didn't become a standard until midway through the 996 generation of cups.
Just found this channel. Great content!
Welcome aboard!
Silver maybe to signify the technical advance? It’s quite a leap, even just the rear wing.
Our sources indicate that it was a project based decision. Perhaps you're right.
awesome tour of the new Cup Car ~ up close !!!
Glad you liked it!!
The explanation is not as ingenious as some might think,it’s because of all the extra silver paint they had in the parts bin from painting Macans,Panameras and Cayennes. 😅
Thanks for the video! 👍
Could be, lol
Does that make sense considering that 911s are built in Zuffenhausens and Macan/Panamera is built in Leipzig.
With the GTLM class going away thus no longer having a demand for the RSR, much of the tech from that car should trickle down into the GTD and GT Cup cars.
Silver is the color of German cars like red was Italy, green for UK, etc. I think it may have been a Formula 1 thing.
Silver Arrows
White is also a historical color of German racing cars. White and silver both are the official racing colors. But white is more older and the original.
@@jannadrielcervo7753 - perhaps, but silver is what they were running in 1955 in Le Mans when they quit racing after the accident. That’s old enough for most people (and evidently for Mercedes itself).
@@CARPB147 Yeah I know. But if you look at much older grand prix cars of the 1910's, and 1920's, you can see some of the Mercedes-Benz are painted white. I'm talking about the pre-Formula One grand prix event, specifically the European Grand Prix Championship, which was shamefully renamed after the war as the Nazi Grand Prix, because of the 1938 and 1939 season are largely Nazi propaganda controlled race.
In the press release, motorsports.porsche.com/usa/en/article/2020/12/02/911-gt3-cup-2021, Porsche says: The purpose of Dream Spirit is also reflected in the design. For the first time the new race car is being delivered in GT Silver Metallic. A color which on the one hand emphasises the sportiness and on the other hand has historical significance in motorsport.
Thanks Vu...fabulous improvements !
Most welcome 😊
Very informative. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Has the rear quarter panel and sills a sort of removable protection from the frequent impact "side by side" during race? Or have you to repair the metal body after every race?
The rear quarter and sill are part of the tub, same as in previous gen Cup cars. To replace them will require bodyshop work.
@@tomchan1258 Thanks Tom!
@@tomchan1258 Very Kind! Thank you for your professional answer...have a nice week end!
@@meschio From Mike Levitas: "You can section the quarter panel to save time on the 991. It's structural, so we weld and bond the entire quarter. On the 992, the quarter panel does not seem to carry any load, so sectioning seems appropriate and should not compromise performance."
@@PorscheClubofAmerica very kind. Thanks for your professional and technical answer.
Very interesting and great detail. This was very much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
20 (992) Gt3 Cup's?, WOW!
That is one awesome car. Thanks for the inside look!
Glad you like it!
Awesome video! Love this new Porsche Cup
Us too!
Amazing how small the front water radiator and its exit cut out is. Are the cooler in front of the front wheels for oil?
Always to good to hear Mike and his genius. Your good also Vu, lol
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Awesome Video.. THANKS!!!
Can you choose the brake pads of your choice?
Mikey Likes it!
Silver interior is a lot better than white, white get dirty as hell after a few years, on silver you won't notice. I'm glad they are finally silver inside and it's also nice on the outside :)
Good point!
To clarify, does the street car have the same body/chassis setup of the honeycomb under body?
22:28 what is this?
You Japan ,next year new 992GT3 CUP will delivery.
I'm waiting for the 992 RS-R
300 section front Tyre is crazy
Indeed!
@@PorscheClubofAmerica why
Great video! Please come back to Mike again.
We will! Be sure to subscribe.
Do these come with the built-in air jacks?
Indeed they do!
Please let's know . How much money go up than previous model?
This is a great video - Enjoyed Mike's patience and condensed wisdom
Glad you enjoyed it!
21:48That’s your cockpit air ... X4 👂🏻
I believe white & silver are Germany’s international racing colors.
Germany’s racing color is white. Mercedes went to silver because they had to sand the white paint to lose weight because the white paint was heavy because of the lead pigment. So the car went silver the color of the bare metal
That’s was a very long time ago
Our sources indicate that it was a project based decision, not a throwback choice. Definitely not due to a historical German motorsport color choice.
Spot on: motorsports.porsche.com/usa/en/article/2020/12/02/911-gt3-cup-2021 The purpose of Dream Spirit is also reflected in the design. For the first time the new race car is being delivered in GT Silver Metallic. A color which on the one hand emphasises the sportiness and on the other hand has historical significance in motorsport.
Really interesting. Wonder what repairability is like.
Will ask Mike after a few races.
Good luck on actually being able to buy one any time soon. You can't even find a new 911 in any flavor in the US. Few and far between.
Are the center locks the same PITA style as street cars?
Race car center locks are designed for impact gun so they are much more convenient than street car center locks. The race car center locks look beat up after some usage as a result, which is normal. If I had the choice I'd take convenience over aesthetics on the street cars. :)
Thanks for chiming in Tom!
@@tomchan1258 i was hoping they were impact wrench type, they sure were prettied up.
cold start at least ?
Hopefully next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
silver to fit with Mobil 1 sponsorship
I'm just sitting here in awe at how well that mask fits his face.
LOL
15:54 not the greatest panel gap alignment though
cool info but please work on camera, could be better directed when mike is pointing things out....
We will continue to improve.
Silver is Germany's International Color; British Racing Green for England, Red for Italy, Blue and White for the USA and White for Japan, ...
Excellent car!
We agree!
White is harder to wrap over and hide the white. Silver might be easier to wrap over. ??
Our sources indicate that it was a project based decision.
@@PorscheClubofAmerica - "Project based decision"? That statement is pretty meaningless.
Keeper video
Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe.
wow
awesome!
Glad you think so!
I own a 996 Cup. My budget doesn’t match up with my upgrade desire. 😂
LOL
Silver is Germany international color

@@PorscheClubofAmerica This is false. Verbatim from the horse's mouth: motorsports.porsche.com/usa/en/article/2020/12/02/911-gt3-cup-2021 The purpose of Dream Spirit is also reflected in the design. For the first time the new race car is being delivered in GT Silver Metallic. A color which on the one hand emphasises the sportiness and on the other hand has historical significance in motorsport.
It's silver because it's the fastest color 🤣
The explanation is simple Porsche ran out of white lol
LOL
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
wow
Great video!
