Porsche 911 GT2 RS review: will the most powerful 911 ever try to kill me?

Follow Mat on Instagram - / matwatsoncars
Introducing the ULTIMATE 911 - the Porsche 911 GT2 RS! When it comes to road-going sports cars, it doesn’t get much better than this! It’s worth a whopping £236,000, but for that, you’ll be able to hit 0-60mph in under 3 seconds thanks to its 3.8-litre flat 6 twin-turbo, which can hit 700hp & 750Nm! But is it worth that enormous price tag?! Join Mat for his latest review to find out!

@Mr. Mosby bro in winter the weather is cold whick means the air molecules are not in a higher spot of atmosphere butin a lower spot. So the turbos or atmospheric car engine will get a lot of air and it will explode better. There is one disadventage . The grip is worse than the hot weather. But i dont think Porshe doesnt have a problem on the grip side especially if its a middle engined car.
