2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS | Greatest Sports Car Ever?

Any of you that have followed the channel for a while know that I'm a die hard Porsche guy and this might be my favorite Porsche of all. The 997 GT3RS.1 is an exceptional sports car. The tone. The handling. The styling. It's still raw and untamed yet sophisticated. A pure drivers car.

The GT3 is one of the most sleek models by far, and with the insane handling, it is a monster on the track. Great vid, keep up the great content! 👌

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks and I totally agree about this car. Such an incredible track day car!!

[@michaelcousins2526]

I know PDK transmissions can do the shifting far faster and more efficiently but to me, there is so much more soul, such a "hand and glove" connection between the car and the driver (especially in a Porsche) with 3 pedals and manually shifting gears! It is symphonic!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I agree

[@luisfilipe1983]

Agree👍

[@xavier30911]

i agree , and i have a pdk ;)

[@SF_Native]

Crazy. This video popped up in my feed, I watched it 2 years ago when it came out. However, the difference of today is I have a white 997.1 GT3 RS sitting in my garage. Greatest 911? I think it's definitely up there. Cheers!

[@jimjones8125]

This is the best Porsche model ever made the lines on the 997 gt3 are beautiful, one day baby one day

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m with you. Completely in love with this era of Porsche

[@dtschlack]

Jim Jones just picked up my first 911...a 997.2 C2S 12 weeks ago and just love it...I know, it’s not a GT but it’s a start

[@neofelisherod2947]

I share your passion for Porsche man, and this is one absolute MINT specimen here this GT3RS. I enjoyed the video man. Cheers, you got another sub ;)

[@michaelbjornqvist1808]

Its pretty cool with the protection for the fender in black! Like the old ones👍🏻

[@lsvip1820]

That’s a great Porsche. My favourite and they are so hard to come by. Trust me I’ve tried. And I love the way it looks and the history behind it. Great episode there bro

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks Ross and you know what I think about this car!

[@lsvip1820]

AutotopiaLA incredible. I know !!!!

[@johnf6267]

Another awesome vid. Imagine having that car 11 years and keeping it under 6000 miles!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Crazy how low the mileage is. Such a beautiful badass of a car.

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Don’t put too much miles on your 997’s gentlemen. I’m going to want one cone mid life!

[@LaserFocused]

You can buy one with tons of miles and redo the engine with forged internals no big deal just bigger pockets when you finally get one

[@rodcognito002]

Canyon Killer

[@warrentopping5764]

the most well known sports car in the world ; the Porsche 911.simply flawless!!

Totally agree

[@JD-rx5bo]

Love these cars I have a 2015 with 8,000 miles and love it…… reading threw the comments and I jus don’t get why so many people have to comment on the value….. the thing I love most about Porsche is you can get in them and drive them hard…. And have no worries they love it…..

[@Professor_E_Gadd]

My Favorite Model And Dream Car

[@wilmara24]

I think the 997.1 is a much more beautiful car than the 997.2 because the lines are cleaner

[@AutotopiaLA]

I think so too but I’d gladly take either one having driven both

[@wilmara24]

@@AutotopiaLA yeah same here. It’s my dream car. If possible can you please try to get the sharkwerks 4.1 car on the show. I can’t get enough of that car. Best wishes.

[@poppasunny]

The reasons he loves the porsche is the same reason why I love the sn95 mustang. Albeit it's no where near the refinement of a porsche. It was said that the chief engineer of the sn95 mustang was inspired by the European market.

[@sidefx996]

I grew up with musclecars and Corvettes but these things are just perfection. Gotta be a bit of a bummer when the ride is over. It's like when you're eating ice cream and you get sad when you eat the last bite lol.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m the same but have always loved Porsche. My dad and uncle had them when I was a kid and have always loved em.

[@sidefx996]

@@AutotopiaLA Just rode in my friend's brand new 911S again last night and the car is just perfect. The way the dual clutch fires up and down the gears is heavenly. One of my favorite parts of the car. Wish I could afford one lol.

Gotta love a Porsche! These GT cars age so nicely!

Yeah, these are such perfect cars. Timeless in my opinion.

[@AutotopiaLA]

That 39 Ford is incredible!

@@AutotopiaLA video maybe?!?

[@dlb44]

Love the vid, really well done. GT3 guy myself. However, 300k is a long way off. 185 max if it’s a factory delete graphic car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

But when you add in the mileage (5200 I think) and the pedigree it changes the value pretty quickly. Regardless of price it’s just such a killer car!

[@brianhimmelman420]

AutotopiaLA totally agree ... super special and rare

[@gregs8685]

Beautiful non-decal RS. Value is probably closer to $130k than $200k

[@AutotopiaLA]

Not based on current prices especially with such low mileage

[@karlvanginderdeuren4009]

strange to see one without both clubsport and sport chrono pack

[@KY-pw6ov]

hopefully someone can explain this to me because ive been trying to do some searching and its been extremely unsuccessful. so as far as im aware, the 2007/2008 GT3 RS had side stripes with "gt3 rs" in the stripes. (exact style of the 2003-2005 GT3 RS). when I was younger my dad took me out to see some Porsches at he loves them to death. I remember seeing a few different GT3 RS models but the ones that stuck out to me were 3 in particular: White w/ red stripes, Silver w/ red stripes and one in white w/ light blue stripes.. these were my absolute favourite GT3 RS models for years but now when I search for them, its IMPOSSIBLE to find ANY photos with one with red or blue side stripes.. the only pics I have found on google and forums are black w/ orange stripes, orange w/ black stripes, green w/ black stripes and silver w/ orange or black stripes.. so are the red side stripes just really uncommon?..

[@AutotopiaLA]

I wish I had an answer for you on this but unfortunately I don’t

[@cardon905]

great vid, my opinion is the look and sound do not equate to the greatest sports car of all time.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It makes the Top 5 list for me but we all get an opinion, right?

[@gt3pdl884]

Amazing car that's as beautiful today as when new, but do yourself a favor and change out those yellowing rock guards on the rear quarters. Car is way to nice to not replace those.

[@AutotopiaLA]

If the car was mine they would’ve been gone a long time ago and the entire car would have clear bra.

[@rhdsir2a68]

It would be so hard for me to keep the miles low on one of these. A lot of guys seem to prefer the .1 non centerlock over the .2.

[@AutotopiaLA]

If this was mine I’d hate to see the mileage. Couldn’t not drive it.

[@ronaldvangulden7314]

Was the length of the video just a coincidence or a wink to another great Porsche? ;)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Good eye!! I’d love to bs you but it’s really just a coincidence. That’s funny!

Love that piece of German machinery and its contours being compared to the likes of a beautiful woman. My mantra, beautiful cars are like beautiful women...."moving art designed to be driven"

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yes!!

[@americanassistancegroup]

Not a "high 2s, edging on $300k" car. Maybe if it was RS Green, and even then that would be a stretch. Realistically this is a $200k car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very possibly. Looked at prices earlier and had a pretty wide range. The mileage is a big plus at only 5500.

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

I am also a fan of Porsche 911s in all their forms. When I'm at a track day I love to see them run hard especially when a good driver is in one! But I don't understand the garage queen mentality of having such a capable car and not using it? You only live once.....get out and drive!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m with you. The owner passed away shortly after purchasing the vehicle.

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

[@mynameis63]

I love me Ferrari...but Porsche....there is no substitute. :)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed

[@xavier30911]

how many in white ? not about thirty in the world....

[@speedlife301]

What’s the point of having a car that just sits in the garage and doesn’t get driven and enjoyed.

[@sidefx996]

I guess unfortunately they almost immediately become collectors items. And I'm sure the owner "owns it just because" and probably has several other similar cars to have fun with.

[@AutotopiaLA]

The owner passed away shortly after buying it. Otherwise he’d be driving it.

[@fthyme87]

At that price id rather take the brand new gt3 touring with a stick. But cool car ;)

[@AutotopiaLA]

I get it

[@brianhimmelman420]

the RS manual, 911R and GT3T are epic road cars ... pure

[@shaifulothman7442]

Very strange.. Where's the black wheels, cf buckets and cage which are std on the 7.1 RS. Also, the car never came in white... Only black, silver, orange and green

@@brianhimmelman420 lol... 997.1 GT3 vs RS main differences is really only the lightweight flywheel, no sunroof, rear decklid, front spoiler and a bit wider. Mostly looks. Engine is the same too. The 997.2 GT3 vs the RS is a completely different story.
