9,000rpm of GT4 RS HEAVEN! The Porsche That You Can't Buy

[@brendan7632]

Work at a Porsche dealership. I've had the fortunate pleasure of looking at one of these everyday for a about 2 months. I can confirm, it does not get old

[@Shmee150]

Amazing

[@maximebroers3182]

Same for me ! They're awesome and I love to see all the different specs

[@G0ddEityawesome]

It also give you goosebumps thinking how much gasoline it just consumed at high rpm

[@slcncr]

I have said in the last video in which you specifically mentioned the GT4 RS: Tim, you NEED one of these in your fleet if possible. And also, as a permanent keeper. This car has gotten so much positive feedback from many sides and car experts and - journalists. I really hope that you can get a GT4 RS in the future. The perfect track tool with an amazing engine and sound.

[@amsrocks]

@@iaintdonknow nope he said he'd love a slot

Ye but they're supremely expensive with the overs everyone is asking for

[@smminco]

It really is that good. And I have a 964, an '11 GT3 RS 4.0, and a 991 Turbo at the moment. It very closely reminds me of the tactile feel and sounds of the RS 4.0, just very updated. The car is a steal (if you have an in to get one at MSRP, which i do). I sold my 600LT for it, and I don't regret it for a second. It's 100% a drivers car vs. a numbers car, though the numbers aren't shabby.

[@damachine3]

@moderz My dealer charged me MSRP...same with my 992 GT3 manual and my 992 GT3 RS. Rare, but it happens.

[@TamagoHead]

Please thank the owner for me! It’s generous of him to share it with you with and us. Loved to watch you drive it quickly and safely & enjoy it. Great commentary on the feedback the platform!😊

[@Shmee150]

Thank you!!

[@AntoniusTyas]

I got lucky on my birthday, my team attended Porsche World Road Show media day and there's a GT4 RS there. I got to experience the passenger ride for two laps, I can tell you that intake sound never gets old. The last 1000rpm banzai run to 9000 gave me goosebumps.

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

What an awesome track car! Sounds amazing 😮

[@Shmee150]

[@Senoph]

I'm by no means a huge fan of Porsche but this is a major exception! Absolutely incredible car!

[@JStuartofficial]

I just got my 2023 GT4, its soooo good. I wish I could get an RS. Not gunna happen, but my regular GT4 is a master piece of an engine also.

[@paulkrapp]

I agree, best Porsche ever! Thanks Tim! 👍😎👍

[@zionkid420]

You're literally standing within feet of the exact perfect person to connect you with the right people at Porsche... you both have the same job and come from the same country... and are both on site.

[@simenbo797]

If i was a Porsche dealer i would definitely allocated you one. Of all the car Collectors you are without any doubt the one who actually drive the cars. My friend just got he's new gt3 and only had a gts from before wich he tracked a lot. The Porsche dealer noticed this and even though he didn't have the sales history, they would rather sell him one, since he tracks his cars, rather to have it stored in a garage.

[@nathanyeo2621]

🔥 The sound is like nothing else. Amazing. Gives me goosebumps.

[@Edot08]

Whoever owns that Porsche is a true legend for handing you the keys. I can confirm this is one of the most beautiful cars Porsche has made. I think my favorite has to be the 918 RSR. I first saw it in NFS The Run and the rest is history 😂😂

[@AlbyBattyTECHannel]

The definitive and ultimate sports car!! And my absolute dream car!!

[@davidbillberg2203]

That GT4 RS is insane.

[@carspotting_tr]

Seeing a Porsche again in the collection would be epic.

[@smminco]

He doesn't seem to like to hang on to them for whatever reason. Me? I love the rear engine. (In the case of the 718 mid, so different feel). I'm a Porsche fanatic. But, shmee did get into the Mercedes GT line, which gives Porsche a run for its money.

[@davidpeck596]

I am a member at the Podium Club. In fact, my wife driving our GT3RS who is the first member car on that track. She does laps in the 1:36 area. also, we hit 150 MPH by the end of the straight. You got to go deep into the breaking zone though. Love the GT4RS, wanted to buy one but it doesn’t look like that’s going to be possible. The 2019 GT3RS is pretty cool, I also have a 2009 Cayman that’s a Cage race car. So I guess I’ll be all right.

[@oneonlyxram]

Hope to see you out there!

[@alenaalena13]

I would be scared of the breaking zone as the braking zone is hard enough.

[@YachtReport]

Really enjoyed this video Tim, great to see the 718 RS puts a smile on your face. Enjoyed the bit at the end talking about allocations. Hoping to get one for the 718 RS Spyder to replace my 718 Spyder. I heard the dealers will only get one allocation each. You heard anything about this?

[@markburton5170]

Presumably you drive your car round Europe? The RS will be less friendly as a long distance machine. Follower of your channel.

[@igatago9166]

Sometimes things (flat tire) happen for a reason. Good fun! I don't think you stopped smiling. Props to the owner. Definitely needs a manual option.

[@neilturner6749]

Can’t agree with that - it’s just too outright fast and the engines too revvy for a manual gearbox. Only a pro driver could hope to manage that combination effectively.

[@Tristanbirdyt]

A flat six boxer engine screaming at 9k rpm. One of the all time best sounds in motoring.

[@PetraVM]

My dad had one of these beauties, so i got to enjoy it regularly and see it’s power and performance even over a long distance, when we took a trip across europe in it, having a bit of fun in germany along the way. Although sadly the weight of the car to the tyres was bad, so it didn’t take a lot to loose control in damp conditions, and living in the UK that combination didn’t work well and my dad ended up rolling it 41/2 times landing on its roof damaging the structural making it a write off.

[@jealva]

Oh man, you are having too much fun Tim.

[@Shmee150]

You bet

[@stuartpollock84]

Funny thing is, watching the rev counter during those laps it looked like all the higher end shifts were at around 8500 and didn't even get to the 9k and obviously still sounded amazing. Would love to hear the scream as it hits those last few hundred revs.

[@Nord_Mann]

No KZbinrs microphone can come close to do it justice. It’s like a chainsaw on nitro, but actually I love driving it with valves closed at lower rpm to really take in the minute differences you can dish out with the accelerator like it’s a music instrument

[@skydance2012]

I’ve watched every KZbin vid, your correct the sound quality isn’t great on the vids but sure is incredible inside while it bleeds red!

[@MarMPB]

Well, I’m a Porsche 911 owner and of course I love all about the GT4 RS. It’s gorgeous to look at in person and the sound is music. But I think it’s too much to say that “nothing can touch it” at the price! I just saw the Lightning Lap at VIR on Car and Driver channel. The GT4 RS as tested was about U$ 180K and the Corvette C8 Z06 for U$ 140k! Let’s say that the C8 Z06 can touch it…very hard. But not considering the price, let’s wait for the real track nemesis of the Z06: the GT3 RS! 🤗

Crazy to think that these cars are currently being given the US car market treatment. Stories of them trading for a Quarter of a million pounds here. £250,000 for a cayman!!!! It is a wonderful car, but £250k for a Cayman is nuts! I think there is one on Autotrader at the moment for not to far off that price!

I sold my 600LT just to get my hands on a GT4 RS. I am not at all disappointed. I got a Weissach in Chalk. The tactile feel kinda makes me feel like it's an updated version of my '11 911 GT3 RS 4.0. I live in Vegas, which is similar in temps to Scottsdale. Can't wait for spring when temps are a bit higher.

[@commuterbranchline8132]

I simply cannot believe how Tim can recite encyclopaedic knowledge about what ever car he happens to encounter. Never mind Shmee, it’s more like Encyclo- shmeedia!

Sadly i doubt that a manual will ever come out for it. Porsche has stated that the only manual gearbox they could fit to the GT3 engine IS the GT3 manual, which is too large to fit in the 718's body. So i dont think there will be a manual version of it.
