smiling while talking, euphoric screaming, that engine sound, all good stuff.

[@timothybilecki8932]

This car is automotive art. Thank you Porsche for continuing to build the GT3. This is what makes you the greatest automobile manufacturer on the planet.

[@tropicthndr]

You know when your a huge suck up when everyone else that really knows this Porsche isn’t the best. “DeMan GT4” the real winner and much better car in every way and the front end doesn’t look like a frog character from Mandalorian.

[@Question.Authority]

I like the interior of the 991 much better

[@marcovanni1851]

Porsche never fails to impress; driving this beauty is beyond excitement. Cool man ✌️

[@macstone9719]

And we all know it's worth every penny! Very nice emotional drive.

[@IamJay02]

Your reactions while driving this car are comical and infectious. Love your reviews motoman.

[@MotoManTV]

Thanks, Jay . . . couldn't really contain myself with this one:)

[@IamJay02]

@@MotoManTV I don't blame ya I would have the same reactions if I got to drive this perfect machine.

[@jareknowak8712]

Thanks for taking into account technical curiosities!!! It's very interesting for me.

[@danielnorton2123]

Another great review George. Your mastery of technical details as well as driving dynamics is the simply best!!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

It's interesting when 3 big KZbin reviewers drop a review within 24 hours. Motoman really brings it home with energy and information. Great job. Now get back in that Hyundai Sportage and get back to reality...lol. That has to be tough.

[@MotoManTV]

Well, they all can't be days like today . . . take a wild guess what Saturday's episode is:)

[@clickynote]

If you do get that allocation, maybe you could do an ultra-special MotoManTV livestream where you configure it online and discuss your thought process with each option.

[@MotoManTV]

Provided I get the allocation, I can say that it will turn into its own sub series on the show.

[@Viperrt]

I believe you are the best Automotive presenter out there. Your "Fletch" reference sealed the deal. Another fantastic review! Thanks.

[@sethbranam9068]

Porsche...there is no substitute! Outstanding review as usual. I hope you get your wish. That would be amazing. All the best.

[@BertrandDussert]

Great review. New owner of a highly optioned 2022 manual, and I absolutely love it! The best all around car I have ever driven, and the second quickest around a track. Porsche deserves an award for this one!

[@mqandil]

Well done. I was sold after I heard you say.... it was Fu8c9ing magnificent! I get mine this summer, can’t wait

Totally agree.992 GT3 Touring gonna be an absolute collectors item in the immediate future.

[@bigdaddyswole]

Wife: “Did you spend $200k on a car again?” Me: “As a matter of fact, I did NOT.” 😉

[@MotoManTV]

Me: No, I *invested* $200,000.

[@michaelschneider-]

@@MotoManTV .. Too Funny. . A buddy bought a '97 993tt coupe in 1998 with that very word; Invested. .. I'd order a '98 993 C2S to drive. .. Come to think,,, I'll take the ole C2S coupe for a spin as we speak. .. A MY22 911 GT3 Touring is one of those lifelong assets. .. Cheers,

[@cinqiwc]

Thanks for yet another great video! Awesome idea to get some historical design elements in the modern 911 GT3's and especially in the Touring. Going even a step further to make the Touring even better for touring would be more access to the space between the rear seats. Maybe something like on the McLaren 570GT? I also like the idea of Henry Catchpole to have a fixed bucket seat for the driver and one that folds forward for the passenger.

[@robertroccii7117]

Fantastic Car and a Masterpiece of Art. Nothing more to say.

[@francoisbalavoine1316]

Yes, the Touring is the one to go for!! Thanks!!!

[@elnino7822]

I'm not really a Porsche guy, but damn I've always loved the gt3, from the 996 to the current one. It never ceases to impress. If for whatever reason I was to ever buy a Porsche, it would be this. Brilliant

[@sergebasque8460]

Wow! It feel like a raging bull but in control like you are at this moment good driving.👏😎👍💪

[@jlo6388]

Excellent

[@geoffreygelb]

MotoMan, great review. Looks like you had so much fun! Beautiful car. Tremendous review and recap of the vehicle and specs. Why is this car slightly slower than its Turbo siblings?

[@cmacd8879]

GT models are never fastest in a straight line.... Turbos have way more torque plus AWD to put it down....

[@clintz28]

Use the shifter when you're turning the car sharply. I use it when I'm pulling out onto a road from a parking lot to grab 2nd.

[@abhiramsulur7030]

Love your enthusiasm!! Nice colour but I’d like to see it in Python Green!!

[@Edison73100]

Excellent review. You can flat shift the 6 speed manual.

Great summary MotoMan, Thanks. I wish I lived in the USA, the vehicle is Sooooo Much cheaper than Australia! The options that you listed amounts to US$354,200 here in Aust.

hope you get the allocation! If they get too difficult, ask us to pressure Porsche. You have a great community here, and a lot of Porsche lovers and costumers. As always, great insight of the car and a real car enthusiast show.

[@MotoManTV]

I may just do that . . . :)

[@michaelschneider-]

@Hugo Cramez .. That's a cheerful idea. .. I'm guessing here; MotoManTV possesses the clout already.

Another great job George! Since you’ve now driven both should I trade my ‘18 GT3 Touring for the new one when it arrives? Worth the price delta?

[@MotoManTV]

Run, don't walk to your Porsche center if you can snag an allocation @ MSRP.

[@nevillebroadbent1601]

This the Porsche I need 992 GT3 with PDK. I don't get all the touring version love. Loud and proud I say . ( but maybe in a more subtle colour like silver )

[@aligferrari]

Side on shot at 10 seconds and 3/4 shot at 6:06 let's me see what it would look like without that monsterous wing ... Perfect !!!

[@YYZ-SRQ]

'Swan-neck' is that also perhaps a metaphor for 4.0 NA gasoline engine being the swan song before it goes hybrid or electric?

[@jaysim3253]

If the regular GT3 is this nuts, I can't wait to see how the new RS is going to turn out. It's crazy how much Porsche can squeeze out of that GT3 platform by just adding more downforce than the outgoing model and a double wishbone in the front, the result is faster times on the track.

[@kristy77a]

GEE! TEE! THREE! Darn! Only had time to view first 3:45 - gotta log in to work from home ... but I'LL BE BACK!

[@kristy77a]

Fast forward 8+ hours and I've now seen the entire episode. "This car is PH*KKING MAGNIFICENT!" Yup ... IMO, the most significant change is the new double-wishbone front suspension, which is a dang near radical move for a Porsche street sports car. This keyboard jockey will take his mit Touring Package, steel brakes and a less gloomy interior - and a supplemental sedan for when I don't want to shake the fillings out of my wife's teeth.

[@williamconrad1087]

I love my C7 but I see one of these in my future because Corvette doesn’t offer a manual gearbox.

[@bengrossmann928]

On the track, I find things happen so fast in my 991.1 version, I could not imagine a manual with this one. I'm going PDK again.

[@michaelschneider-]

@Ben Grossmann .. Agreed. .. As a dyed in the wool, old sckol manual gearbox fan,,, there is a time and place for an automated manual. .. Ala Porsche's PDK or Volkswagen's DSG to name two. . The acceleration at which things happen in the 992 GT3,,, a manual's action might be out of place. .. If anyone is asking,, put me down for Stone Grey metallic, w/blk leather, w/PDK, w/silver alloy's,, Cheers,

[@tedkramer1208]

Have to ask. Assuming that you have a 992 GT3 Touring on your bucket list, what do you think about the recent C&D article that they're holding back on the manual in California until the new noise ordinances take effect.

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Is light weighting the same as weight saving?

[@rcp2bTube]

Brilliant review. When Chris Harris reviewed it it looked like it made him cry to think these cars are going away for electrics.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

2035 is going to be just sad.

[@thedudeabides1443]

I think the 911 will be spared being ruined and made totally EV. The other models may not be able to escape being ruined, however. Makes me nauseous to even think about it.

[@theraggededgeonboardfastes8461]

I was afraid they were going to give it 8 gears what sense would it have made if they were lightweighting. It goes 0-60 in 2.85 sec and 10.85 @ 127.9 mph. They stiffened the rear springs to cope with the additional downforce.

[@jamesalmeida-stille5246]

I need a Porsche 911 992 GT3 in my life.

[@rayF4rio]

When I was younger and could never afford a car like this, I dreamed about owning one. But now that I could afford it, I'm not really interestsd in driving one around more than maybe one time. Ok, maybe one time a week. I might have to think about it some more....

[@thedudeabides1443]

Just do it if you have the funds!!

[@nicberry4893]

I can't imagine how insane the 992 gt2 rs will be

[@gligordimitrov3177]

WOW

[@paull3179]

There is no need to shift manually. The car does a better job than anyone can. Sport mode is perfect and for extreme driving on winding roads with sharp turns you just put it into sport plus.

[@fredianocappellaro7406]

GRANDE PORSCHE 👍 🇮🇹 👍 🔝🔝🔝

[@mithritades]

I’ll wait for the manual review

[@aurorajones8481]

Very cool. I never thought id say this but...to much. I mean i ride a Ducati V4S like a maniac flat out ignoring the police. I go to the track, but i dont want a race car as a daily driver. I only have one car. Its a 2005 Buick PAU, but i just ordered a 992. Wont get here till Nov but i thought about this. Ill take a manual C2S which is what i did. OOOOOOOO im so excited!

[@MotoManTV]

Good choice!

[@seeno1]

Dream

[@bobcortez9471]

The Bruan shaver shifter was growing on my for the PDK. In fact, I like the shaver more than the fake manual looking shifter. Porsche gets everything right, but that darn shifter is plaguing them.. lol

[@cmacd8879]

What you are missing is that there are a fair number of PDK drivers, especially in the GT cars, who actually use the central shifter in some situations. The Chris Harris review shows this well... when the wheel is way off centre you can always find the shifter for a quick shift.... but not with the stubby one.

[@jareknowak8712]

Maybe You know what drag coefficient it has?

[@markgodfrey4598]

Unfortunately not available for us mere mortals...and l too look forward to the GT3 touring variant. Excellent review as always.

[@jaw1489]

Your check engine light on buddy?

[@MattNis1]

The extended fuel tank is so cool. And it’s so cheap. All cars should have an option like that.

[@MotoManTV]

Agreed!

[@donovanh5679]

Wonder if this 992 Gt3 is a limited production car as before. If so, what are the chances that your local Porsche dealer will sell you one based on the MSRP?

[@IceDree]

Mama mia! Between lifting the GT3 embargo and the new 812 Speciale, today is a magnificent day for us car guys! What you see here folks, is a man in love, deeply in love ... We all strive to have that experience. The Touring and the eventual Speedster gonna be epic, who knows, Stuttgart might be crazy enough to do a Targa as well. Good luck with allocation, M. Hope you can get it, you certainly deserve it.

[@MotoManTV]

For a man that fancies the E65 7er, very well put:)

I have a 991.2 GT3 manual in Voodoo blue. It’s hard to imagine the 992 handles better. I don’t like the Racing seats though.

[@frederickcook87]

I was about to say “same on Porsche gt stuff” till I heard individual throttle bodies 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@alainboudreau4731]

So you would choose the Touring version? If so, why?

[@paulpence8895]

Correct or not another review said the ring painted headlights were ~$1600 option...

[@porscheguy09]

Porsche says that the PDK top speed = 197 mph and the 6 Speed Manual top speed = 198 mph. What that translates to in the real world is over 200 mph for the 992 GT3 regardless of which transmission you have. I don’t think I’ve seen a Porsche made in the last 25 years that wasn’t quicker accelerating and had a higher top speed than what Porsche officially stated so there’s no reason to believe that the new GT3 is any different.

[@GY9944]

As far as I can remember this is at most the 3rd time George used profane language in this whole channel, which tells quite a lot about the car lol. The other one I could recall was when he was driving a Panamera Turbo S

[@PiSkiS320]

Amazing review!, can you remove that wing by any chance?

[@MotoManTV]

EXACTLY the reason I want the Touring.

[@kevinreath]

Yes you can. There is a KZbin wide

[@joelcruz998]

I wonder why they don't add the front lip and rear diffuser with carbon fiber....I think it would look better.

[@epicon6]

18:00 It's still plenty short.. it's still just the door length+wheels on both ends 😂

[@tommy516]

The extended range fuel tank is the greatest option available on the 911, right now. I have one on my base 992.... and no lie, I get almost 600 miles, that’s right, SIX HUNDRED, miles of range on one tank with the AC off!

[@VK-sc6mf]

You picked the wrong car if you're trying to extend it's range on single tank by cutting corners on AC and stuff like that, like it's some kind of economical diesel. I'd also take this fuel tank option but it wasn't possible on Carrera 4S because of front drive system.

[@tommy516]

@@VK-sc6mf Its the fifth car I own, I have a Taycan and Cayenne as well, so range isnt an issue. The point is, with the normal tank, at least in an S; you get like maybe 200 miles of range with normal driving and with the extended range tank, driving 600 miles on the freeway at 70mph with bursts up to 95, you get around 500 miles....that's incredible, granted it was in a base, so the ER tank on an S/GT might be a little less but still, to have almost 600 miles of range on a car is incredible, thats the point and if you do a few things, you can top that.

[@djcoronel]

Is there a TV show associated with George? I looked online and I couldn't find anything. I was just curious.

[@andychang7137]

hope the touring could have pdk...

[@atlasrex]

How does the gt3 Touring differ from this first version of the GTS? Softer ride? More street compliant? Why would you prefer the Touring version?

[@MotoManTV]

Go back and watch the episode again . . . significant differences. As for why the Touring? No wing.

[@wlopezmendez]

No sunroof on that Touring?

[@JohnInSale]

On the options or wish-list, did you not have the choice of the Club Sport package , that we have this side of the pond ? It involves the built in rear role cage for track day use and as your cup of tea, even taughter on those canyon roads ?? First time I’ve never heard you ask for a sunroof or panoramic roof, instead picking the carbon option , only teasin’ 🤣 Keep up the great work and looking back to your old self 🙏🏻 #StaySafe 🦠😷

[@szaidi1975]

Club sport package is not available in the usa
