Because they clearly don't know the difference between a G-body 74 Carrera and Carrera RS...they also used GT3 Exhaust recordings for that paltry 2:29 minute 997TT video. LA Porsche owners and flim makers 😉 We see you!
I agree bro. Felt like this ever since I discovered the 911 . No matter ho w many cars I see and love the 911 will always be my dream car. I could take one from 10 years ago, last year, or even 40+ years ago. Car is fucking timeless dude.
you know what i thought was cool , at laguna seca my local track has a DB limit on exhaust loudness so all the laguna seca cars have their own exhausts etc etc. the gt3 cup cars with the laguna mufflers sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. idk what it is but it makes them sound nasty.
For me defo not top 3 although it does sound good. Carerra gt, lfa, pagani zonda f, McLaren f1, Ferrari 360 cs plus some of Ferrari v12’s sound better imo. I’d also put the the old murcielago sv in there aswell.
I drove the 991.2 GT3 at Porsche Experience and it was eye opening. When I was younger I always thought the GT3 was overpriced and overhyped. But when I drove it you can easily see why they are such great cars that easily are worth the asking price. The 9000 RPM engine from the Cup car was tested at 186 MPH for something like 17 hours for a total of 3000 miles. It felt like it could be beat on and never complain. The chassis is incredible with amazing turn in and mechanical grip, and you get gratification when you trail brake it in and hammer the throttle early on the corner exit. The brakes are stable and incredibly strong with great modulation. The sound of the 9000 RPM is music to any car guy. What a car.
I worked in a shop in Canoga Park, CA where we would modify 996T and 997.1T as well as clean up other shops' mess and actually make it work. Pulling 800BHP out of a 996T on pump gas and 1,000BHP out of a 997T on E85 has its merits but come nowhere near the harmony of a factory Porsche GT3/GT2 in handling. Porsche engineers are GOOD engineers.
I have always been a car guy .I saw a GT3 rs and thought, why would I spend that kind of dough on a car. At that time, I owed an S Class, a Jaguar F type, an Acura, anyways, 8 cars total. The moment I drove that Porsche..... minutes later.. I bought one plus a 1987 Carrera and am now looking for a 914. Porsche cars are a visceral experience for me.
"As a person who saw and heard a dang loud GT3 RS ripping it at the asphalt highway on our town here in the Philippines and the only time I've ever seen a Porsche personally in my life today, it definitely sounds and looks beautiful and I would not forget that afternoon." What a legend.
Only discovered this channel a few weeks ago and am super surprised I hadn’t come across it before. Fantastic production values with an amazing level of detail and insight.

That drift at 7:08 out of the Chris Harris 991 review from back in the day is iconic. The noise from that particular scene gave me chills and I remember it like it was yesterday!
Watched this video about 6 times already and just thoroughly impressed with the amount of research and knowledge that went into this vid. Excellent work and look forward to the next one.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG! Amazing engine, amazing video, production keeps going up every video It deserves to have multi-million views. I didn’t know so many things and I’m a gt3 fanboy
I've owned 5 Porsches so far. The latest is a Carrera S 997.1. I took a friend of mine with a US muscle car who brags endlessly about the hairy v -8s. I took him to one of my favorite turns, a reverse camber-decreasing radius s turn. While carrying on a football related conversation all the while. He got very pale, stopped talking, made some strange sound i've never heard before, and was silent for about 3 or 4 minutes. He never said another word. I dropped him off at home, and I swear his hand was shaking when he opened the door and got out. He never said another word about his Challenger hemi since then. By the way, I really nailed that turn. Ferdinand would have been proud.
Brother…the education you just gave on the DNA of the Porsche GT3, like always is stellar and 2nd to none on RUclips and the internet. I thought I was a serious car knowledge geek. You explained the damned thing!!!
Really appreciate your work/production. Graphics excellent, information spot on, background relevance 100%. Straight to the point - clear, concise and comprehensive! Loving it!
The GT3 has always been my favourite Porsche especially after I had to park one while working as a porter at a hotel/golfclub (in 2002 i think). It had under 200 miles on the clock:-) But I never knew the racing history it has! So thank you for that!
One of the most concise and precise video of this amazing supercar I've ever watched .....brilliant editing and well presented.....as a Porschphile....this video got me glued to the screen....kudos to u mate....
love these videos.. great edits and delivery, ZERO bullshit, ALL facts straight from the spec sheets, no random biased fan boy shit, u sir deserve 1m subs
Just found this channel. There's not many creators on RUclips where I'm not skipping through the video to get to the point... here I am binging all these episodes in whole even though so much flies above my head. Awesome stuff!
Great informative video. Now I see why GM is always wanting the Corvette to be a 911. Love the GT3RS 4.0 I always thought they made a 4.2L but I guessed wrong.
The new Porsche 992 911 GT3 R race car engine has 4.2 liters of displacement and 565 PS. Maybe this engine will be in the 992.2 facelift GT3 RS version in just a few years... Because 911 GT3 race car engines have always been literally the same as the engines in the 911 GT3 road production vehicle.
lol ok. 239hp 2.2L = 108hp/L. Previous version was 237hp 2.0L = 118hp/L. 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and lap times eons slower than a GT3. Would make a good stepping stone for someone racing spec Miatas who wants to eventually move up to GT cars though.
Probably the wrong video to add this comment on but I’ve been watching a bunch of these and they have been super educational and I love it. Please I hope this comment reaches you… If you haven’t do a video on the SHO (super high output) ford Taurus I absolutely love the old one and was surprised when they made the new one and would love a deep dive on this sure I could look it up on other channels but I absolutely love your delivery on explanation.
Dude!!!! I'm a serious 911 Fan mostly the older very mechanical variants. The late 80's 90's and early variants of the 2000's. The new 911 with their floppy paddle shifters Not at all. This video is by far the very best in 911 variants, power displacements and models. Great great video that should be show in classes of students studying automotive engineering, automotive repairs, or really anything related to studying racing development and research. Best 911 video to thos date. Thank you.
I miss high revving over 100HP/L NA engines. I greatly enjoyed them in my S2000 and Z4M. They are so rare nowadays because of fuel economy standards (that's my understanding at least).
@@zijunx1595it’s a good question. But hp/L gives a better approximation for engine character. High hp/L cars will have higher revving, sportier feeling engines. Often high compression ratios too. They are just more fun to ring out.
6:44 125hp/liter is unheard of? Motorcycles available all over generate a little more than 200hp/liter without forced induction. You see that on virtually all super sports. So you see this in 600cc engines from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and more. Then you see this in 1000cc engines from the same companies and also BMW and Ducati and more. My bike is 15 years old. 127hp in 0.6L. It’s a supersport street bike and it’s SUPER common. 200hp/liter bikes are all over. A motorcycle that only generates 100hp/liter is considered pretty tame.
i may be late but, whta about torque huh, cars don't weight 200-300 kg like bikes, torque needs to be quite a bit higher, and even if some cars can do the same if not better than porsche you still need to keep what torque in mind
@@simonthebest7217 torque is definitely important! It’s also a thing that can be adjusted in an engine. Motorcycle engines have HUGE variation in horsepower numbers and small variation in torque numbers. More torque and it’s more likely to flip on hard acceleration (modern software can counter this … but really what they do is artificially limit torque). I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess … If you took an NC Miata and replaced the 2.0L engine (167hp, 140ftlbs torque) with a 1.0L Yamaha R1 engine with 198HP and 80ftlbs of torque you’d see something interesting. I’m also going to guess that if instead you used two and had 2.0L with 396HP and 166ftlbs of torque you’d see magic happen. There are several engines that basically combine two others. It’s not unheard of. And, some engines are basically half of others. Torque is a factor. So is longevity. Motorcycle engines aren’t NEARLY as long lasting as reliable as car engines (in terms of percentage of total with more than 100k miles, 200k miles, 300k miles ….).
the Gt3 is hands down my dream car which soon will be a reality! I'm a huge Porsche fan and am doing a trip to Poland and Germany and will for sure visit the Stuttgart. wondaful video, very pleasant and enjoyable to watch.
127 bhp/liter, only 7 bhp/liter more than the original S2000 of the past, which had no direct injection and had a relatively tame exhaust. Imagine if honda built a V8 out of the F20C and spent as much R&D on it as much as what Porsche spent on their flat 6.
@@harryplatt7942 yes. but the 4 liter 6 has direct injection, high flow exhaust, decade of newer tech, is more inherently balanced, etc. Apples to Oranges, in Porsche's favor. What i was saying is that if honda made a flat plane V8 out of it and gave it the same contemporary tech as the Porsche, it would have been epic. I can also compare that 4 liter 6 to a 6.5 liter Ferrari V12 which also beats both the Honda and the Porsche. Cheap Honda, Expensive Ferraris, porsche fanbois will still find excuses either way. And this vid is about car engines, not motorcycles.
@@sebastianhasbun3846 its not stock factory engine that is mass produced and has to meet emissions standarts.. dart block small chev will also rev to 9000+ all day long and no one is icluding it as its race engine that is widely available tho
Please do a video on the F20C which made 125hp NA in 1999 (in Japan) rest of the world it made 120hp per liter NA (due to emission standards). It has some fancy tech like special light friction carbon coatings for the cylinders etc. and arguably the worlds best shifter ever made.
Sounds good on paper with 120/5 hp per liter but those engines are not impressive. S2000 are mind blowing slow and what makes the f20c engines junk is the FRM cylinder liners. This is why ppl swap the k20/24 fwd engines in the s2k to make them fast.
@@mikehawk6563 Who swaps them? i heard of a few K swaps who then are even slower. K swap only makes sense if you turbo it or supercharge it which is a sacrilege imo. Mindblowingly slow but one of the fastest cars in Time Attack and Best Motoring Togue runs. I bet you only drive cars in a straight line and they probably have to make peak power at 3k rpm lol because it sounds like that from your comment. And the F20c was the developement engine for the K, the K is the mass production version of the F20c and has the same amount of issue but due to the much bigger and cheaper aftermarket you can make more power but stock to stock no comparison, based on technology the F20c is way ahead even it is a much older engine. I agree you have to be very careful with the engine, but if you know what to do they run forever, i know many people who run their f20c on track and have 200+k miles on it. But it's not a engine and car for everyone, you need to know how to drive it and how to take car of it, it's not as simple as a k engine and thats were many fail. And it's certainly not made for straight line speed.
@@mikehawk6563 + people compare it to cars it was never intended to be compared, it is not supposed to be fast in a straight line, it's supposed to compete with small roadsters like the mx5 etc. which it totally dominated in early 2000's and 240hp NA was a lot back then especially in such a small engine which comes with a lot of advantages regarding handling.
the 4.0 flat 6 making 500+whp naturally aspirated is absolutely a testament to porsches engineering. bmws new s58 engine barely does it with forced induction and the s58 is arguably the best modern 6 cylinder engine.
This is my idea of the quintessential 10/10 car. This is on paper the point at which no further enhancements could in good faith improve the experience.
Thanks for this video, that was an excellent explanation on the 911 GT3 history and line up! I made this very basic summary after watching, so I don´t get lost again: Air cooled: CARRERA RS 2.7 210hp (1973) 964 CARRERA RS 3.6 260hp (1992) 993 CARRERA RS 3.8 300hp (1994) Water cooled: 996.1 GT3 3.6 360hp (1999) 996.2 GT3 3.6 381hp (2003) 996.2 GT3 3.6 RS 410hp (2003) 997.1 GT3 3.6 415hp (2007) 997.1 GT3RS 3.6 415hp (2007) 997.2 GT3 3.8 435hp (2009) 997.2 GT3RS 3.8 450hp (2009) 997.2 GT3RS 4.0 500hp (2011) Direct Injection: 991.1 GT3 3.8 475hp (2014) 991.1 GT3RS 4.0 500hp (2016) 991.2 GT3 4.0 500hp (2017) 991.2 GT3RS 4.0 525hp (2017) Double wishbone front suspension: 992.1 GT3 4.0 510hp (2022) 992.1 GT3RS 4.0 ~530hp? (2022)
This is my favorite car in the world! I would take this over any car! My dream is a 991.2 gt3 rs with a PDK! I would sell my soul for it! 😂😂🙏 to me nothing sounds better than a high reving flax 6!
I’d love to see a video in this series going over the Ford Australia engines like the 4.0L inline 6 Barra in the XR6T or the Supercharged Miami V8 in the FPV GT-F
as a 992 C4S owner, and daily driver of said car... I wish Porsche wasn't so beholden to the German "Green" laws and used this engine on all their 911's.. not just the GT3... the only reason they use turbo and GDI engines is the green's.. which is fine for their sedans and SUV's but the 911's deserve a break!
I am a car person . Man you really know your stuff. Them flat 6 engine are legendary. People use to pick at the 1st generation VW bug but that car made them Porsches. They added 2 more cylinders to Vw bug engine. That creates a flat 6. And change the camshaft from sohc into dohc. And up the compression ratios. They made 1 of the best engines ever.
You forgot to mention how the 991.2 was the first generation GT3 where there was a choice between PDK or manual transmissions. Still an excellent video, I learned a lot!
I was never a big porsche guy and didnt really care for them until the 992 generation GT3 and GT3RS dropped. Now the GT3/GT3RS 992 generation is my dream sports car. Stunning piece of engineering.

Ummm Nissan GTR and v10 Lambo are King not this glass engine
💀😭😂
Dream car. I'd take a GT3 over any Lambo, Ferrari, ZR1, or any other car really. Its mission, approach, history, and engineering is the total package.
Probably why owners have that saying “once you get a GT3, you’ll never go back to wanting another car”
I’d agree with that. People get caught up in hp numbers.

So you see this in 600cc engines from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and more. Then you see this in 1000cc engines from the same companies and also BMW and Ducati and more.
My bike is 15 years old. 127hp in 0.6L. It’s a supersport street bike and it’s SUPER common. 200hp/liter bikes are all over.
A motorcycle that only generates 100hp/liter is considered pretty tame.
i may be late but, whta about torque huh, cars don't weight 200-300 kg like bikes, torque needs to be quite a bit higher, and even if some cars can do the same if not better than porsche you still need to keep what torque in mind
@@simonthebest7217 torque is definitely important! It’s also a thing that can be adjusted in an engine.
Motorcycle engines have HUGE variation in horsepower numbers and small variation in torque numbers. More torque and it’s more likely to flip on hard acceleration (modern software can counter this … but really what they do is artificially limit torque).
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess …
If you took an NC Miata and replaced the 2.0L engine (167hp, 140ftlbs torque) with a 1.0L Yamaha R1 engine with 198HP and 80ftlbs of torque you’d see something interesting.
I’m also going to guess that if instead you used two and had 2.0L with 396HP and 166ftlbs of torque you’d see magic happen.
There are several engines that basically combine two others. It’s not unheard of. And, some engines are basically half of others.
Torque is a factor. So is longevity. Motorcycle engines aren’t NEARLY as long lasting as reliable as car engines (in terms of percentage of total with more than 100k miles, 200k miles, 300k miles ….).
Great work on these videos they’re very underrated
Great video man, been in love with GT3s since I was a kid, as I am sure many of us were!
the Gt3 is hands down my dream car which soon will be a reality! I'm a huge Porsche fan and am doing a trip to Poland and Germany and will for sure visit the Stuttgart. wondaful video, very pleasant and enjoyable to watch.
That’s so nice man! Big congrats to you, I wish you so much fun with it! I really love the brand 😎
Make sure to visit the Porsche Museum when you're in Stuttgart! :D
Love your delivery! comprehensive and direct, AWESOME !!!
I haven't even started the video, but I know you did a bad ass video.
I love how it’s just technical enough for dumb people like me and smarter people
It’s definitely one of the best engines ever made and it’s reliable can handle revs
Every video I watch from this series gets me more and more familiar with cars.
Really appreciate these deep dives
Im actually starting to look forward to these videos
The 996.2 GT3 just brings back Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 nostalgia.
127 bhp/liter, only 7 bhp/liter more than the original S2000 of the past, which had no direct injection and had a relatively tame exhaust. Imagine if honda built a V8 out of the F20C and spent as much R&D on it as much as what Porsche spent on their flat 6.
Comparing a 2L 4 to a 4L 6
Motorcycles make much more HP/L than both regardless
bikes have bigger cams and smaller stroke, they make that power in relatively small portion of rev range
(tho smaller bore=valve area)
@@harryplatt7942 yes. but the 4 liter 6 has direct injection, high flow exhaust, decade of newer tech, is more inherently balanced, etc. Apples to Oranges, in Porsche's favor. What i was saying is that if honda made a flat plane V8 out of it and gave it the same contemporary tech as the Porsche, it would have been epic.
I can also compare that 4 liter 6 to a 6.5 liter Ferrari V12 which also beats both the Honda and the Porsche. Cheap Honda, Expensive Ferraris, porsche fanbois will still find excuses either way.
And this vid is about car engines, not motorcycles.
Look up neutron engines k48 design; the guys making a v8 from two k series motors and it will rev to 10k
@@sebastianhasbun3846 its not stock factory engine that is mass produced and has to meet emissions standarts..
dart block small chev will also rev to 9000+ all day long and no one is icluding it as its race engine that is widely available tho
@3:17 I thought I was listening to a 917!
I've said this before.... Never stop making these. Best series on RUclips.
I won’t🙏🏽
@@337speed can you do a video on F1 engine especially W13 Mercedes
The way this is explained got me hooked from the first second.
Please do a video on the F20C which made 125hp NA in 1999 (in Japan) rest of the world it made 120hp per liter NA (due to emission standards). It has some fancy tech like special light friction carbon coatings for the cylinders etc. and arguably the worlds best shifter ever made.
Sounds good on paper with 120/5 hp per liter but those engines are not impressive. S2000 are mind blowing slow and what makes the f20c engines junk is the FRM cylinder liners. This is why ppl swap the k20/24 fwd engines in the s2k to make them fast.
@@mikehawk6563 Who swaps them? i heard of a few K swaps who then are even slower. K swap only makes sense if you turbo it or supercharge it which is a sacrilege imo. Mindblowingly slow but one of the fastest cars in Time Attack and Best Motoring Togue runs. I bet you only drive cars in a straight line and they probably have to make peak power at 3k rpm lol because it sounds like that from your comment. And the F20c was the developement engine for the K, the K is the mass production version of the F20c and has the same amount of issue but due to the much bigger and cheaper aftermarket you can make more power but stock to stock no comparison, based on technology the F20c is way ahead even it is a much older engine. I agree you have to be very careful with the engine, but if you know what to do they run forever, i know many people who run their f20c on track and have 200+k miles on it. But it's not a engine and car for everyone, you need to know how to drive it and how to take car of it, it's not as simple as a k engine and thats were many fail. And it's certainly not made for straight line speed.
@@mikehawk6563 + people compare it to cars it was never intended to be compared, it is not supposed to be fast in a straight line, it's supposed to compete with small roadsters like the mx5 etc. which it totally dominated in early 2000's and 240hp NA was a lot back then especially in such a small engine which comes with a lot of advantages regarding handling.
This is giving me chill. Why is Porsche so great. Help!!!!
Gonna work hard, and I know imma make it happen. One day I’ll have a gt3
Letssss
GOD these mini docs are good,
Keep up the great work man!!
the 4.0 flat 6 making 500+whp naturally aspirated is absolutely a testament to porsches engineering. bmws new s58 engine barely does it with forced induction and the s58 is arguably the best modern 6 cylinder engine.
A Ferrari 458 speciale makes 134hp per liter..
605 from a 4.5l V8..
S58 inline 6
You always bring it. Every time. Much appreciated.
This is my idea of the quintessential 10/10 car. This is on paper the point at which no further enhancements could in good faith improve the experience.
Thanks for this video, that was an excellent explanation on the 911 GT3 history and line up! I made this very basic summary after watching, so I don´t get lost again:

the 991.2 gt3 rs has 520hp
@@olivertrees Bullshit! The 991.2 GT3 RS has 520 hp.
The new 992.1 GT3 RS has 525 hp.
This is my favorite car in the world! I would take this over any car! My dream is a 991.2 gt3 rs with a PDK! I would sell my soul for it! 😂😂🙏 to me nothing sounds better than a high reving flax 6!
I've seen two of your videos and just battered that subscribe button, thank you for all of your hard work, great videos Sir
I’d love to see a video in this series going over the Ford Australia engines like the 4.0L inline 6 Barra in the XR6T or the Supercharged Miami V8 in the FPV GT-F
Love this video. I have watched it over and over many times. Intro is awesome.
Another epic breakdown, amazing series every time. You even have people copying your Explained concept now but they can’t come close
@6:50 exhaust heaven🇩🇪 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🇩🇪 💛
I’m patiently waiting for my allocation for a 992 GT3. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my 992 Carrera S with a 7-speed manual. 👍
Nice. I like the way you narrate these videos. Thank you.
Let's not ignore the fact that in 2000 , the S2000 from Honda, the F20c was doing 124hp per liter, normally aspirated.. 2.0 liter 240+hp..
1999 and the engine was developed in 1997-1998 around
Naturally aspirated*
@@Lumiere_ lol.. that all you have to add?
125hp per liter is not really a lot .
Great video and that sumptuous engine sound is jaw dropping.
This man loves cars the way i love motorcycles. Love your videos bro keep making gas
LOVE the videos man! Porsche is well deserving of some attention
This is the best collection of Porsche soundbites EVER
I could just listen and learn all day. One of my favorite channels at the moment.
The first GT3 I saw, was in Miami in 2002, I felt like Doug De Muro when he saw that CarreraGT in 2005!!
as a 992 C4S owner, and daily driver of said car... I wish Porsche wasn't so beholden to the German "Green" laws and used this engine on all their 911's.. not just the GT3... the only reason they use turbo and GDI engines is the green's.. which is fine for their sedans and SUV's but the 911's deserve a break!
I am a car person . Man you really know your stuff. Them flat 6 engine are legendary. People use to pick at the 1st generation VW bug but that car made them Porsches. They added 2 more cylinders to Vw bug engine. That creates a flat 6. And change the camshaft from sohc into dohc. And up the compression ratios. They made 1 of the best engines ever.
Ok
How can i direct message?
6:50 pure eargasm 🤩
You forgot to mention how the 991.2 was the first generation GT3 where there was a choice between PDK or manual transmissions. Still an excellent video, I learned a lot!
Alto I love porche cars, we still have to admit that honda was quicker in HP / litre war than porshe.
Fr b checking everyday to see when you uploaded I love these vids one of a kind
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! A TOTALLY AWSOME EDUCATION!!!!!! A MUST-WATCH!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHATING!!!!
This is the best car video I’ve seen in a long while
Whats crazy the new GT3RS has active DRS which blew my mind. Bravo Porsche, BRAVO. My favorite car brand never cease to disappoint me!
I was never a big porsche guy and didnt really care for them until the 992 generation GT3 and GT3RS dropped. Now the GT3/GT3RS 992 generation is my dream sports car. Stunning piece of engineering.
This is the first time I've watched your channel, this is an excellent video, very informative. Thank you
I can't keep up with all the different body designations, lol. I know it's a 911, I know it's fast, and I know I want one!
Awesome show!!! Thank you for sharing!
6 throttle bodies 😂 makes me want to sell my house 🏡 and buy this car and park it next to my tent 🏕️ 😂
GT3 deploys its 510 bhp better then most cars with over 700 bhp. It's a marvel.
the topology for the porsche was amazing
Always love the porsche, gt3s especially, great video
NA GT3 = 125.5 HP per liter. Gordon Murray's NA T.50 is putting out 166HP per liter.
Absolutely amazing explanation! Plain and simple with good detail! Bravo 👏
So good man, so good. Keep it up!!
