Love the way Magnus gets straight to the point and asks all the right questions. Well paced commentary as usual. Pavel’s brilliant editing certainly doesn’t hurt. Love his use of split screen.
Man I really appreciate the fact that even as an absolute Porsche nut and driver with tons of track time… you still respect your own limits. Love hearing the Racecar driver mindset
Extraordinary having Magnus Walker giving us his impressions and thoughts from the bucket. Nice to see he acknowledged this GT3 RS exceeds just about everything he had expected. Considering he is definitely no slouch himself and has Porsche DNA in his veins 😎
"Trust the Downforce" Was lucky enough to drive a GT3 at the PECLA, and ended up shaking with excitement afterwards as I tried to enjoy lunch there, but needed to calm down after such an exhilarating experience.
It is an absolute ultimate driving machine which probably is the closest thing you can get to fully kitted street legal factory race car that can do miracles. With that being said, I would still prefer GT3 Touring over GT3 RS.
@@motorconcierge OK. Touring is still visibly looks like a 911, so the "sleeper" qualification is out of the equation. Concerning the clean design.. I'll give you that, yes, it is clean. But in my mind (and, yes, my mind might be "twisted") when I go for this amount of performance (the GT3 amount of performance), then I want the real GT3, not an "apologetic 911" which left its wing at home in order not to look too "racy". Who gives a crap? Have you ever heard of "go big or go home?" Well, that's exactly IT! The only thing proving I'm partially wrong is PORSCHE's Marketing Abteilung who just knew "some" wanted it "discreet"... Amazing. Just almost as amazing as people who purchase a Cabrio.. With a diesel engine. Hats off to you people 😉
This guy is the definition of 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Great review! Love how Porsche keeps surpassing itself and setting the bar higher with every iteration of the 911 and all its variants.
I’ve never been a 911 lover. Not because it isn’t a great car, but because I’ve been looking at this upside down bath tub since I was a kid (and I am over 60). But, I believe that this is the epitome of all of this tweaking. It sounds like such a precision sewing machine. If I had the dough, I’d definitely buy this.
Wonderful review of the new GT3 RS, it is a really fun car to drive and unsurprisingly fast. A little addendum tho, RS stands for Rennsport, not rally sport .😉
Magnus, thanks for this set of videos. I just ran across this and my heart rate won’t slow down. I sure miss my 82 SC. Please take me along each time you’re behind the wheel of one of these masterpieces.
Hello Magus, great to see you still putting down the rubber and pushing the limits. As I remember few could stay with you on the track, so if this is faster than even you can think, then that definitely leaves the rest of us behind. Long may you lead. Great video. Mervyn
The answer is yes, unless you're an absolute hero. It doesn't even have a trunk. Seriously though, I think it's pretty awesome that you can drive something like this on public streets. I think given the right road this could be pretty epic.
Loved your description and rides off the newest generation off my favourite Porsches , may they linger for a long time and thank you for bringing it to us.
In the Chris Harris video for this event he said there are orders for 70 of these at just this tracks members. I doubt you will be seeing many on the streets.
Pretty much any 911 is too much car for the street especially with the poor roads in urban areas but what the hey you only live once . Excellent episode !!
Well done Magnus, great questions and you didn't let up, but you got us the answers. Time to reinvent your look, no that your the age you look like. As a Style Designer you can reinvent your look...
This car seems perfect for the green hell. I was at a car maintenance place (body shop?) where I dropped off my old Volvo for some bits and bobs and he had the 991 GT3RS in his showroom. Of course in many ways similar to this newer version but oh my, what a car. Funny you mention the hp and torque. I was amazed to see he had a '22 model RS6 which has 600hp (roughly 100 more than the Porsche). Those safety regulations killed much of the available import cars. I am glad here in the Netherlands we can get almost any car, as long as we pay regular tax and import tax!
One needs all sorts of silly disposable income (or cash) for this vehicle that is basically only for the track. Clearly, it's not for me. That being said, great video with a nice Magnus honest review.
@@lollypop9580 🤣 that would probably mess with the aero that took away the storage space to begin with! I think it has enough power to pull a trailer though...
I’ve had 3 GT3s including an older RS. My current ride is a 991.2 GT3. This new RS is so far over the top, I’d be embarrassed to drive it on the street. The rear spoiler is cartoonish. Even AP of Porsche said you’ll probably get sneered at on the street. It’s a cup car for Gods sake. The 991.2 is the last organic gt3 you can drive on the street
Assuming limited production numbers like previous RSes, many will be bought and used as as investment, and they'll never see the track or street. That's too bad. So, when you see one out and about, its really a rare occurrence.
I really appreciated this review as I felt it got more real than by far the most. My takeaway is that perhaps the GT3/RS may both be a bit too much for the public road as fantastic as they are. Can’t quite figure out whether a Carrera T is all the 911 you need or the GTS is where it’s at.
I bought a GTS, and I'd suspect a T is all you need. My car before was a 991.1S and that was enough power for the street, the GTS I feel like I'm eggshelling the pedal a lot. Everything has SO MUCH POWER now. The GTS does look a bit cooler than the T, since it has the lower ride height and the front end is neater.
@@commanderrussels2612 I agree with you. I drove a base Carrera and it didn’t feel super quick in acceleration but I bet it’s more than enough in real-world driving. It’s more about the handling to me. Of course the GTS has a quite different chassis too so wondering about that as well. These cars have become so pricey and I wouldn’t mind saving €30-40k on a T over a GTS.
great review of yet another 911 - perhaps the most criticized car in history. "it does exactly what it was intended to do, but not perfect for what it wasn't."
Great video, really well shot, and who doesn't love a 911 ragging it around a track, but it didn't answer the question in the title. Clearly it's a cracking track tool, but is it liveable on the street? Still no clearer ;)
1. Great video! 2. Thermal has some of the best pavement but has to be the worst track layouts in the state. 3. I’m assuming 1% of the people that get this car actually track it or are serious drivers.
People say "race car for the street" quite a bit, but I promise you will always face only one of the following scenarios: you absolutely won't want to drive it on the street *or* it's not a race car. The 992 RS is wicked fast, yes. But it doesn't have brakes / tires that barely work at road temps, it has ABS and AC, the ride wont rattle you to death, the transmission won't jolt your body and hurt your ears. Would I take one as an incredibly track capable road car? Absolutely, but if I want a race car, it would be a 992 Cup or otherwise.
Do u think as car lovers and the NA Rs cars weve got blinded by the RPM now coz seems they find another 500rpm every new GT3 car? I love what they are and what they say they can do but as the main man said "how many will see a track" and most of them will end up "content cars".. just a very humble opinion of someone who will never even have a chance of being a passenger in a 996 let alone a 911.. much respect & love for all things 911. 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
Should review the new Limited edition 911 Dakar........off road, lifted suspension with stainless sump guards and side skirts and optional $18,000 Rothmans/ Roughroads replica paint job......
Question is , given that you cannot get an allocation for the car, all are spoken for, why does Porsche even bother to do PR on the car? Quite interesting if you stop to think about it.
Let’s be real, any car with over 400hp is too much for the street. I remember Joe Rogan picking up his RS 4.0 from Sharkwerks and saying no person should be allowed to buy this car and drive it on public roads lol. Where I live you’re either going to be stuck behind someone going slow, driving in a 30-35mph zone, avoiding thousands of pot holes caused by 7 months of snow plows, police desperately trying to pull you over for speeding, and usually a combination of all 4.
Epic!! Glad to be a part of this - I hope you love this video! 🔥
Well done brother!👍
Love the way Magnus gets straight to the point and asks all the right questions. Well paced commentary as usual.
Pavel’s brilliant editing certainly doesn’t hurt. Love his use of split screen.
Honest and beautifully shot review from an almost every 911 ever owner.
Thanks Magnus and Co.; great edit.

Excellent video! Great addition to the OPP series. Having Jörg and Patrick on was fantastic and your questions for them were on point 🏁

Jorg & Pat-- what an awesome duo!
Whoa! That’s the first image I’ve seen of the cooling apparatus in this car’s frunk. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
It is an absolute ultimate driving machine which probably is the closest thing you can get to fully kitted street legal factory race car that can do miracles. With that being said, I would still prefer GT3 Touring over GT3 RS.
I’d take a gtr black series
I'd take a Cup car.
GT3 Touring? Why?
@@peterkater4292 Sleek, subtle, phenomenally clean design and a "sleeper" which can smoke 98% of trafffic.
@@motorconcierge OK. Touring is still visibly looks like a 911, so the "sleeper" qualification is out of the equation.

This man is the most lovable human ever
That heritage edition is everything!
Great series!👌 amazing content, images and b-roll on point, full of passion. I love it 👍 Thanks for making these video’s!
Really nice review Magnus! I hope to see these cars more on the racetrack than at the cars and coffee events 😅
I didn't know Gandolph Loved Porche's...LOLOL...Great Video!!!
Good for Magnus for asking how it compares to the race car. Was wondering that.
Magnus, thanks for this set of videos. I just ran across this and my heart rate won’t slow down. I sure miss my 82 SC. Please take me along each time you’re behind the wheel of one of these masterpieces.
88lbs at the front axle, FROM THE SHAPE OF THE A/CONTROL ARMS IS... ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Seriously though, I think it's pretty awesome that you can drive something like this on public streets. I think given the right road this could be pretty epic.
The ACR Extreme and the GT3 RS are my two favorite track focused cars! And I would daily them as well.
It's incredible. I prefer a little bit more subtlety in a Porsche but you have to respect what goes into making this car what it is.
Extremely nice spec the white and green one. The best I’ve seen so far.
RS is rennsport, not rallysport ;-)
Loved your description and rides off the newest generation off my favourite Porsches , may they linger for a long time and thank you for bringing it to us.
Great video , Magnus . Presented with some style .
In the Chris Harris video for this event he said there are orders for 70 of these at just this tracks members. I doubt you will be seeing many on the streets.
Work of art! ❤
I always really liked the 911gt3. And that 992 looks like an urban fighter jet when it’s not adorned with bright racing colors.
Ima watch this one million times
Beautiful video Magnus , thank you 👍🇬🇧
awesome! I love it when a man knows he ran outta talent. @14:30 hold my beer… lets do it moment for sure.
Pretty much any 911 is too much car for the street especially with the poor roads in urban areas but what the hey you only live once . Excellent episode !!
Great episode Magnus! With your racing helmet on you look like Tom Green!
You asked way better questions than the journalists do. Great video!

Gorgeous Unobtanium!!
Nice now do a segment on what is the best sounding models please.
Need to know that song in the background! Epic.
Is that Doug DeMuro’s Carrera GT in the background?
Master piece 💪🏻
Can we get a review of the blue Porsche in your intro please !
It’s purfect
I love your hat game, man.
Lovely video - does the rear wheel air intake cool brakes and the engine intake is actually at the back by the rear window?
Great interview 👍
Great review Magnus, I've never thought about a GT3 or a GT3 RS, I've owned 2 GT3 Tourings, & would definitely ask for the next as well, Rj in Oz
I own some of your wonderful Hot Wheels Mr. Magnus, they're wonderful.
I love going to Thermal!

Agreed. The closest cars and coffee was in the 10-20 year mileage allocation for the owner.

Great video - thank you!!!
Hey DUDE.
Well done, thank U.🍀
Speaking of OPP, any access to the new GT2 RS based 935 for a ride?
Thanks Brilliant report
U got taste an great collection
great review of yet another 911 - perhaps the most criticized car in history. "it does exactly what it was intended to do, but not perfect for what it wasn't."
Is that Doug Demuro Carrera GT at 11:31 ? Also great video! I love the part when you speak with the test drivers.
Correct!
That’s what I thought too. What a baller!
Perfect Street car🔥🔥😎
Sweetest Carrera yet. You can have those uber cars! Give me this little baby!!
Opp! Great content 👌
Wow, you're the first English speaker to pronounce Porsche correctly. 👍🏻
Nice video. I Always thought that RS in porsches stands for Renn Sport - Racing Sport...
is magnus walker related to johnnie walker ?
well what did we expect when three outlaws met at a race track ?
so cool
My dream car. No Lambos, no Ferrari's, not even a GT-R. And I even own a pristine 96 Corvette CE. This car is it.
RS should stand for really special! 😁
I want the “real special” version 😂
Great video, really well shot, and who doesn't love a 911 ragging it around a track, but it didn't answer the question in the title. Clearly it's a cracking track tool, but is it liveable on the street? Still no clearer ;)
Bonkers

What dunks are you wearing on your feet?
Are those residences ,hugging the outline of the track?

The choice of hats really need to change. Kind of like a dead racoon and Gandolfs hat…..how about a great Magnus walker ball cap ?
They said in the quick corners it is faster than the Cup car but overall the Cup car is way faster.
So you're saying I should go get one of these Weissach models.
The fact that the downforce is comparable to the WEC GT3 RSR spec cars, it’s bonkers. It’s the other way around of an homologation special.

Only 343 ftp of torque is not a lot, is that a mistake?
Incredible machines
👍
Porsche should have a spec racing series with the GT3 RS and GT2 RS, make it like a GT series in a way with classes.
Throw the GT4 RS in there
Magnus, I think you mean adjustable DAMPING not adjustable DAMPENING. Unless it has variable moistness.
Dreamcar 😍
It’s aimed at the guy who’s going to drive it around Knightsbridge at 15mph
That’s considered speeding in Knightsbridge!
