Porsche 992 GT3 Touring *MANUAL* Drive Review | The Best Modern Sports Car

Porsche 992 GT3 Touring Manual POV Drive Review. Come along as I drive and discuss the new 992 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring on some backroads. The new Porsche 992 variant of the GT3 Touring uses the identical powertrain of the WINGED GT3 , the 4 liter Flat six producing 510ps and 376 ftb of power matted to a 6 speed manual gearbox. The GT3 Touring is Porsches answer to offering a Track Focused machine without all the flash of the big wing and bright paint colors, we will call it understating perfection!
The Porsche 992 GT3 incorporates active rear steer and a completely revised front suspension now using double wishbones along with a newly retuned steering rack and geometry versus the 991 variants. With the new double wishbone front end the steering turn in and response is greatly enhanced and sharper and the car overall is simply amazing in every regard. This is the ultimate modern sports car we all aspire to own one day and for good reason why they are still $300,000. No other auto maker today is offering such a package of high revving NA engine, manual gearbox and RWD in a two seat upscale package like the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. This car does it all and does it exceptionally well and could be the ultimate daily driver for an enthusiast.

Sold my GT350R when I got an allocation for a GT3 Touring. True - the manual transmission is great. The NA 4.0 is also special. I immediately put an aftermarket exhaust on her - now she Howls like a Wolf. A Visceral experience worth every penny. I love mustangs - however, a Porsche GT3 Manual is a special animal. Pure Adrenaline

[@autofanaticcars]

The Shelby are amazing but lack the refinement and quality the GT3 offers granted a huge price difference between them

[@boost4breakfast]

which exhaust did you end up going with?

[@johnsimms3693]

That hurt reading that .. I really Really want a 350 or 350R im willing to rob a bank or 2 😂😂 .. but seriously, I really want that Shelby

[@andyjackson5404]

@@boost4breakfast Went with a Soul Performance. Looked into Akrapovic too… both sound great. imo. Thanks

[@andyjackson5404]

@@johnsimms3693 I had a 350 before the 350R. I would recommend a 2012 Boss 302 if you’re trying to save money. Good bang for the buck👍🏻

[@zepe70]

The best spec of any gt3 on KZbin, kudos to owner.

[@autofanaticcars]

Agree this car is so Hot

[@klasseact6663]

Thanks for years of videos and quality detailing products, BIGGER thanks for not using every video as an infomercial for them, THAT'S the way it's done Phil👍👍

[@CliffNotesAnesthesia]

Incredible vehicle, the sound, the plain look. Looks like all the fun in the world

[@Strawman333]

Holy crap! What a gem!

[@pete6705]

Ya that’s high up there on my list of dream cars

[@cormegastarks8815]

Great video I always wanted a Porsche since the 80’s,maybe one day if so this gt3touring would be the one.by the way the intro music is perfect who is that?

[@rafiulrasheen4738]

man that front end is like no other, i have never driven a car where its just like point and shoot, wherever you look is where the car goes. totally different than many 911 before it. that double wishbone transformed the car

[@Maverick-r9x]

Ha we're neighbors I know 117 very well! Where are you from? FYI, I love the fact you're a manual guy. I couldn't agree more!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

At the intro the way you shot the car I had to do a double take. I thought it was an S550. The rear fenders got me.

[@rigatoni2210]

This car is fire .

[@rooneyw2208]

Driving these cars you realize how amazing they are, and then they throw something out like the S/T which is even more amazing.

[@amac8487]

I’ve gotta ask man…. How come you don’t have one? Hahahs Been following you since the gt350 (I too have one). Just recently got a 992S as well and kept the Shelby. Such fun cars!

[@autofanaticcars]

I love these Porsche GT cars always have but i would hate trashing one daily on our NY roads plus i don’t need added stress of parking a $300k car doing daily life stuff. I do see one of these in my very near future.

[@freemanpd36]

I’m going to put one of these gt3s in my stable soon 😍

[@daveh98]

I used to watch a lot of your 350r videos and liked them and your views. I just saw this in my feed and it's a great car. I have a 350R fury orange 2018 and a 19 papaya spark 720s performance. For me I love this combo. I wonder your views on the shelby vs a 911 GT3 if it's that much different in engagement? For me I see the used 720s being the best used value car buy able. And I'd say that used mclaren 720s is a comparison shopper car for this except for those with manual gearbox desires. mclaren gives the carbon fiber chassis, arguably best in class steering, and 3000lbs and 770hp with active aero at 220k now. The gt3 at 300k I just can't wrap my head around....yet. if I didn't have a 350r though that I loved....it likely would be in my garage. Anyways great video and beautiful customer car.

[@autofanaticcars]

Mclaren are incredible machines i like them all check my Artura video from last year. If you desire a manual the GT3 is the upper echelon if you can’t justify the price a GT350R is the ticket

[@daveh98]

@autofanaticcars i gotta catch up on your videos I will check them out. do you miss your shelby gt350r? I think it's one of my favorite cars of all time. I had this orange viper TA in the picture but sadly got rid of it. As a long time viper fanatic, the shelby gt350r is truly better outside of exotic looks. I must give the gt3 a try as I know you loved your shleby and it seems like the gt3 is a big step up. Cheers

[@SS-oj4en]

I think the Porsche GT range is just reliably brilliant with the performance just perfect for the mountain pass runs (road) . The manual certainly offers a heightened experience probably the best driving experience money can buy. The 720s has arguably all the right ingredients to be an amazing car however the reliability issues are just hurting the brand and package making the car a real risk to own.

[@pottersi]

So you're a Lil Peep lover, I see. Good song. I first watched your video on a review of the Stelvio. Your review on it, was the deciding factor in my purchasing a new Stelvio. Now I have a 20' GT350R and a 23' Giulia Quad. 2 cars which I never would have ever considered, or aspired to own, before watching your videos. I guess you've affected my life a fair amount haha!

[@autofanaticcars]

Great to hear my content influenced you into buying two incredible cars. I definitely miss my GT350R I plan to buy another soon i still have my 23 QV along with all the other cars

[@MaxNeal-tl9bd]

Nice Gt3 but I can‘t get into a manual transmission! PDK all day for me. 😊

[@danv8717]

One just came up for sale near me and I'm in the process of buying it. Agate Grey with PCCB and a PDK.

[@autofanaticcars]

Go for it these cars are incredible. The pdk must also be a blast on the backroads i hope to try one soon to post a video on it

[@micraw714]

These cars are SO good! My max is about 120k to spend so my only options are 981 or 718 GT4, older 991 up to 992 S. One can dream though lol

[@timbrown9731]

It sounds like they have the DLC coatings dialed in, and no more finger follower issues…

[@fskof]

Great video! Is that the stock factory exhaust on it? Because it sounds great even on video.

[@autofanaticcars]

Factory exhaust I would love to hear one modified

[@georgiosdedes]

Agree Phil. We have a few here in Denmark and they are the business. Even in PDK configuration. Absolutely lovely analogue experience. The Rolex of cars. But it comes at a price. I would keep my Giulia Quadrifoglio and let go of the AMG instead.

[@autofanaticcars]

the AMG GTR is so damn good in it's own right it is one of my favorite cars I ever owned, it is a shame they are not going up in value that does bother me but I still love it. The GT3 Touring is very tempting we will see if I make the switch

[@coreyegan6751]

2010 me loves this color combo!

[@Bankroll_2times]

My dream spec

[@insightsofmichael]

What is the music playing in the background at the end of the video? Does anyone know?

[@KickingTires]

This might be the perfect car...

[@autofanaticcars]

It’s seriously awesome nothing to nit pick here

[@timbrown9731]

Honestly, I don’t think you need CCBR, unless you’re heavily tracking the car🤔

[@autofanaticcars]

Definitely don’t i just prefer less brake dust because the front wheel barrel cant be cleaned well due to calipers clearance. Overall this car blew me away

[@markm-c6u]

nobody tracks with CCB . People get CCB because they want them and not because they need them lol. Got them on my QV and bought them for my 07 TT...

[@FreshLaces]

Even if tracking it I still would option the steels, gets pricey to replace carbon ceramic pads and rotors if you’re tracking it weekly On the other hand, would option carbon ceramics if it’s my weekend toy as it’ll definitely help for resale and the lack of brake dust is always a nice bonus

[@basketball798]

Complete opposite for the track most of us get steel brakes. You don't want ccb for track YES you read that correctly

[@krzzzy19]

Most people don't track with carbon ceramic rotors because it's too expensive to replace.

[@genetung8590]

The black hides the distinguishing exterior characteristics of the GT3

[@Jb-mp1in]

Porsche went from being upper working class cars doctor dentist to having to be pretty wealthy to buy these cars

[@yourpalbobbyboi]

Nothing like a Porsche but 300k is crazy . My uncle is a CEO of a company . He has a 911 turbo S on order. He drove my g80 m3 recently . Anyways he couldn’t believe it was only 80k 😂. Meanwhile I saved my whole life to pay cash for the car….he could of bought 3 haha.Porsche has become a rich mans world for sure . Hell these people work hard for their money though. Porsche is the pinnacle. I would never even consider the ferrari,lambo, buggati, mclaren world even if I hit the billion dollar powerball lotto .

[@peterpowder8546]

Agree. Entry price is around $100k! What happened to $60k

[@modelcitizen1977]

This is a GT3 variant. You can still get a brand new 911 for $125k, which is dentist money.

[@mikebarnard2689]

In UK post Covid... dentists are now very much doing a LOT of private work... 911 easily affordable. Mike.. ( retired dentist and Porsche owner 😁).

[@miguelosterroht]

A used base 911 is still reachable by upper working class. A limited top of the line GTx version was always out of reach for most. In fact more people can afford a Porsche today than 30 years ago.

[@trigganometry168]

Why are you crossing the double yellow on a blind left bender @ 13:27? Great review btw

[@tkx86]

Extremely sexy cars. How ever I would still pick a Lotus Exige any day.

[@G-MieInternational]

Great car

[@tonywilliams4302]

Idk brother. I don’t see these $300k collector grade cars being driven much. 5 years from now, this ‘drivers car’ prob won’t have 5,000 miles on it. I would rather track my 981 gt4 and cop a spyder rs for $100k less, albeit sans manual. Beautiful car though!!!!

[@autofanaticcars]

The GT4 and Spyder are both excellent cars I came close to buying both many times and special ordered a ah mega spec 2020 GT4 that I let go to get my F355 which was more special and rare to obtain at the time.

[@tonywilliams4302]

@@autofanaticcars the Ferrari is definitely a special car. I’ll prob always hold on to the gt4 because I love every aspect of it. Not sure if I’ll love the top down spyder with the pdk, but I think it’s worth a purchase!

[@TGCREken]

For less than half the price, the GT4 and Spyder are peak Porsche. For the money.

991.2 in sapphire blue is my favorite….

GT3 with comfort seats and a fire extinguisher LOL 😂

Both options 😎

[@honkongho5927]

How this GT3 Touring feel compared to your client’s 911R? Which is better?

[@autofanaticcars]

The 911R is incredible I recall it being more twitchy to irregular roads now there so valuable nobody really drives them much

[@Mike_Spina]

Do you still have the 355?

[@autofanaticcars]

Sure do along with a full shop of other awesome Ferraris including a 575M factory 6sp

[@AllenL2R]

What’s the title of the track at the end?

[@ejcubing3622]

Can't wait to buy this in 20 years!

[@autofanaticcars]

if the market goes nuts like it is currently on older Porsche cars these might be unobtainable in 20 years time like a Carrera GT is now and 918 Spyder

[@jrs997]

I think with the rate of inflation and increasing scarcity for high end porsches, we will be probably see these cars going for $500,000 at some point lol.

[@autofanaticcars]

I agree

[@StickNclutch]

The sexiest car ever made hands down..I've been searching for a Cayenne GTS because that's probably the closest I'll get to owning a gt3

[@autofanaticcars]

I really love the 911 without a rear wing unless it’s an older 930

[@GOOGLM3_NY]

Tell me how you really feel Phil!

[@TurboThrottleTherapy]

This looks like Connecticut

[@vab120]

I don’t get the point of paying more than a Carrera to look like a Carrera. It’s a lot of money to get the 4.0 with almost a 10y.o. tuning from Porsche.

[@Vendettalecce]

whats the song called in the intro

[@johnsimms3693]

My stable will all be MANUAL transmissions ..

[@NicholasZak]

My only complaint about this car, all GT3's and well todays cars in general are the Giant chariot sized rims and oh how can we forget the wonderful price for tires. No Need to have wheels bigger than 18's on a performance car! Its all a marketing ploy and floss status for the cars and coffee crew who park their cars nice and hard.

[@autofanaticcars]

I think it’s definitely done for visual and proportions because these new 911 are massive compared to older 993/964 versions. Absolute killer car’s overall omg

[@Hmmm313]

Manual is history…

[@sky96moony07]

Realizing the same car with ceramic breaks is just floating somewhere in the see😂

[@rabayl01]

I hope that that manual transmission is the best as it is the only car that offers a manual at that price point. Moreover, that car is the most expensive manual you can get in 2024

[@autofanaticcars]

I think the new 911 ST is like a few hundred k more if you can get one

[@rlsedition]

And only $300k! They'll sell a (few) of them.

[@JWL-UK]

Gotta love a manual transmission ❤️. You should try the road-focused, theatrical F-type V6 RWD manual. Don't get fooled by it's 3L 340 stock HP and 450nm of torque. That thing is amazing and sounds sublime. I got 1 of 188 built for the UK market. You can pick up one in the States for under 50Gs which is insane value.

[@autofanaticcars]

I almost bought one in 2017 my issue was my fist kept hitting radio hvac my arms are too long for the ergonomic it’s too small inside for me. Awesome cars though the new awd F types suck they ruined the car

[@JWL-UK]

@@autofanaticcars good to know! Did you test drive a manual? They're so rare I just can't find anyone who's ever driven one 😊. They're perfect for twisty roads which happens to be my commute to work!

[@amirmurray9916]

Beautiful car and the fact that its manual..awesome!!!...but for 250 k plus....i wud pass😂😂...now ofcourse im not rich..but dor that money i could a wrx sti, a bobber, and an oldeer porsche😂😂...to each its own tho😂

[@Jb-mp1in]

Turbo s for me these cars inflated way too much in value

[@jbspec4507]

Turbo S is the best overall, check all the boxes

[@autofanaticcars]

No manual and way to fast for most backroads

[@jshim100]

Needs ceramic brakes, don't care what happened to the boat.

[@autofanaticcars]

Good luck finding one most don’t have ccb due to carbon allocation shortages in Europe

[@basketball798]

In my opinion the AMG GTR is much special even though it's a lot cheaper used. GT3 touring and AMG GTR can be owned at the same time that's how different they are!

[@autofanaticcars]

I love my AMG GTR it’s so special the GT3 is awesome as well just a different experience

[@WDLC1911]

Very nice but not worth the money - especially in today’s global political instability.
