GT2RS vs 959 - Porsche Pinnacles | Everyday Driver

The GT2RS and 959 represent the top of Porsche's line-up, 30 years apart. We had the rare opportunity to drive them back to back in a comparison we've never seen and never thought we'd get to do.
It's not our usual subjects... but we like to dream as well!

959 every day all day. It's a piece of history, one of the coolest classics ever.

[@gamersxpsn1822]

The 959 was my poster car. An incredible vehicle.

[@peterlewis3540]

The reason the Porsche 959 was not available for sale in America, when it was released back in the 1980s, is not because it was deemed too expensive. Porsche would not agree to provide several cars, to be destroyed in the crash testing, required for acceptance into America.

[@wrightsublette1701]

Gorgeous video, I throughly enjoying watching this even a few years after your filming. Where is this amazing roads ?

[@Helpmegodproductions]

This car floats my boat. It may not be a motorcycle, but in the right hands, it will generate as much adrenaline.

[@Joe_Friday]

Well will the GT2RS not become a museum piece?

[@harvardford8752]

[@flacjacket]

@Lawrence L. The GT2 RS will definitely become a museum piece, 997 GT2 RS's are already going for $400k+.

[@SilentMovements305]

I'd take both n call it a day. Yes the 918 is beautiful jus sitting there n even tho the new Taycan is round the corner n looks real nice still cant accept the fact thats its ev ( my personal opinion ). The 959 is a fragile gem but i would drive it tho if money wasn't a problem

[@5uprnva]

Chris Valiente you can remove the 918 from that list. Haven’t seen one under 1.2

[@bumblebee9019]

I have to call BS on that $30K oil change ... labour at $100 per hour ... $10,000 is 100 hours ... please don't tell me it takes hundreds of hours just to take parts off and put them back on.

[@bradgotch]

oil change $30,000 yeah thats going to be a problem long term for me.

[@VashSpiegel]

A video break down as to why, would be an interesting video.

[@stefanvanderweele1]

long term..?

[@jamdc2000]

remember that you are actually changing the oil on a "detuned" 956racing car, Le Mans winning engine, if you do not like history, well, you wont understand shit

[@WindozeCS]

Vash Spiegel There's not a chance that it requires even a tenth of $30,000 in labor costs. They just charge that much for a 959 oil change because of how expensive the car is, it's just a scummy upsell. It's likely that $30k is Porsche's charge for an oil change, because I doubt many 959 owners want to take their prized possession anywhere for maintenance other than Porsche.

[@peterlewis3540]

When you can afford the $million dollar + price tag, for a 959, $30k for an oil change is routine.

Relative to its era, is the 959 the greatest single leap in super car history? Seems it was 5 sigmas ahead of anything else on the market at the time.

[@kleinbottled79]

I remember reading the stats and performance figures when the 959 was new and feeling like there had to be some kind of mistake. Like maybe those wacky Europeans had accidentally let Porsche register a race car for street use. (Which in a way, I guess, they did, but not in the way I first suspected.)

The 959 is simply beautiful and was ahead of its time.

[@jolness1]

It literally was at least 20 years ahead of the 911 turbo. They wanted to prove the 911 had a long life in front of it and they did. If I was could have any car, it would be this one, even in 2021.

[@missesmew]

@@jolness1 since I saw the very first one in a magazine. THE pinnacle of German design of my favourite sports car. I remember reading that it idled at like 800 rpm and they could put it in 6th and smoothly take off. After hearing about the terrain mode, that’s probably how it was done. lol Still so so cool 😎

[@jolness1]

@@missesmew such an incredible car. I'm sure you know that in the US the "show and display" law was passed largely because of this car. Bill Gates wanted his and Canepa helped. As a 911 fan, arguably one of the most important cars ever. The adjustable suspension and incredibly advanced AWD system still feel modern today. It's also the only supercar that was ever designed primarily for rally. The Rothman's livery is beautiful as well. It looks every bit a 911 but is unmistakably 959.

[@missesmew]

@@jolness1 yes, I was in awe (lol, was, still am) of all the innovations in this car. AWD, in 87, I mean come on. Even my power saw is German, lol. At least I can afford that. Porsche should come out with a throwback model, just make it with all the latest and see if it can or how much better it could be? Maybe an electric ⚡️ fuel hybrid. Would be interesting 🤔

[@smirkingdevil]

I had to stop watching halfway through. I had the sudden urge to sell everything I own and buy the GT2RS. I do not think the GT2RS would be comfortable to sleep in.

[@raileanua1]

[@americanAlienBoy]

A perspective on the insane performance of the GT2RS: A friend of mine does the Virginia City hillclimb most years, usually in his Nissan GTR (heavily tweaked, making about 1000 HP). He previously set the course record in that car with a 3:11. He bought a GT2RS Weissach this year, and brought that instead. Bone stock, including stock tires, he ran a 3:09.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Your friend and anyone who brought GT2RS including the testing journalists here should tanks to Mr. Walter Rohrl who perfected all Porsche extreme cars (718 GT4, GT3, GT3RS, GT2RS) being involved as Chief Test driver.. ;0)

[@boutch3r]

Porsche is dope. Best looking and aging well (imo), one of if not the best perfs and drivable everyday even 30 years later?

[@james64ibm]

The GT2RS is a pretty insane achievement. On paper, it shouldn't stand a chance against the more hardcore stuff like a Ford GT or a Ferrari 488 Pista, but it is indeed faster around most tracks, without being anywhere as punishing.

[@marcuzzigd2326]

The 959 is the most genius car ever made

[@tyler9703]

A Porsche dealer a little ways down the road from me has a White 959S on display in their showroom, and it's an absolute treat every single time I see it.

[@BMRace]

The Gelände gear is not for off-roading. What happened in Germany when this car was released was that it was too loud to pass noise emission tests at the time, and so Porsche came up with a loophole to pass the test. They renamed the first gear as the "country side" gear (Gelände) so as to be able to pass the noise test, which was done by accelerating away from a dB meter at the exhaust at full speed from a standstill in first gear. Since they renamed the gears, they were actually passing the test accelerating from a standstill in second gear. Accelerating from a standstill in Gelände gear was technically only allowed on roads in the countryside where the noise restrictions were lower.

[@iancross3622]

Or an alternative view is that due to the ring&pinion , 1st gear really was useless …..

[@EvilSSP]

I've always heard that the 959 is one of the most daily drivable and easy to live with supercars ever made.

[@igamehard8860]

Funny how people compare it to an f40. I guess they were both the best each company had to offer, but 2 diff animals. Kind of like 918. It was made to show how electricity will be used in future sports cars, not to be fastest thing ever made. Even though it was for a while. It even had regen braking to help mpg or whatever it's called. LA Ferrari and P1 didn't

[@Bubbamooch]

As a past owner of a 3.2 Carrera, it's nice to hear the 959 comparisons. Brilliant Paul and Todd & crew! Thank you!

[@markusskvarek1296]

Wrapped c pillars.... Porsche knows how to make interiors good lord

[@Porsche1969]

That's all very nice, but you have forgotten something important to say about the 959 "race history": the Porsche 961, which was the 959 LeMans racing version, was immediately successful at its first 24 hours of LeMans race in 1986, with a class victory in "GTX class" and an overall 7. place of course, behind six other Porsche 962, 956 and 936! Of course at this unbelievably successful time in motorsport for Porsche during the whole 1980' at LeMans 24 with totally dominance, when sometimes only Porsche 956 and 962 were in the top ten result lists, there was no purpose for an AWD "unicorn" car like the Porsche 959/961. But if there would have been only a little bit of rain in the 1986 LeMans race, the Porsche 961 would have been the winner, thanks to its AWD system, which was exclusively allowed for the 961 in this race!

[@josemuzard874]

Both cars are the best of their time, this is my conclusion. The 959 was a sort of laboratoy of all the technologies who became standard for lots of following supercars and the 991.2 GT2 is the best 911 ever produced

[@superceotto4584]

Well... The gt2rs is the most powerful, but the gt3rs n/a sound is better.

[@paulthomson9709]

Yeh totally agree , the f40 takes all the credit but 959 is a far better engineered car , far rarer , and although being heavier with less power just as quick if not quicker with only a lighter lower top speed . Best super car of 80s by a long way

[@blueskyrangers]

So glad you brought up Bruce Canepa. I grew up in Santa Cruz right down the street from Bruce Canepa dealership. This was the wonderful 1980s. I think it was called Bruce Canepa Motorsport. Anyway, he had exotics all over the lot. I would marvel every time I rode my skateboard by there. Also, my house was on the corner of Poplar and Fairmount. For whatever reason his cars would often pass right in front of my house. There’s a stop sign and many times they’d lay into the throttle a bit and row through the gears. It was a marvelous sound of precision moving parts and a delight to my ears. That’s when my love of the automobile started. Ah...the memories.

[@robg8578]

Canepa Motorsport. Still an amazing place. Every year I visit and just drop my jaw to the floor.

[@mwar99]

So much of what you said about the GT2RS rings true. I drove, and rode in, one for about 3 days last fall. The car was amazing. Ridiculous speed in that car. But very manageable.

[@NormanAAiello]

I think you guys didn't do adequate research on cars available in the late 80s that were available to the public that went above 200 MPH. Thanks to Road and Track Magazine, they held a Shoot Out in 1987 that had a Ruf CTR (911-based Yellowbird) car do 211 MPH at the Volkswagen Ehra-Lessien test track (www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a29347/the-worlds-fastest-cars-1987/). Ruf is a German Auto Manufacturer that produced 29 CTRs that were outfitted with a Twin-Turbo 3.4L Flat Six engine producing 470 HP with a Ruf designed 5-speed transmission. Other cars which participated was the Ferrari Testarossa, 288 GTO, 2 Porsche 959s, AMG Hammer, Lamborghini Countach, a pair of Koenig Porsche Turbos, an Audi Quattro, an Isdera Imperator 108i, and lastly a 520 HP Ruf customer car that won the 1984 Shoot Out with a speed of 186.2 MPH.

[@Rengelshausen]

Just great! And Porsche will do it again and again in the future

[@porscheguy09]

GT2 RS top speed is 211 mph.😂😂 At least that’s what Porsche says. There’s several videos of people doing over 220 mph in a stock 991 GT2 RS. One owner did a recorded 226 mph and another did 221 mph at this year’s Sun Valley Tour de Force in Idaho. Gotta love how Porsche always understates the performance of their cars.

[@hikingjoe4752]

Yes it also depends a lot on your ,,wing setting‘‘. There are three positions(if I’m right) the wing can be in and it can easily be switched by removing a screw and putting it back in the position you want it to be. I think Porsche claims 211mph (which i guess should be the 340kmh they claim) in its most downforce oriented/most agressive spoiler position. That obviously means more air resistance compared to the two (or one) lower downforce settings. So if you put it into low downforce people were able to reach 360 km/h+. But also they said that at those speeds because of the tires the slowly close the throttle body so it’s basically limited to 340kmh-360kmh (depending on aero). So it could even go faster in stock condition which is even more mind blowing.

[@steeltrap3800]

That was truly fantastic, and I'm not given to hyperbole. I was in my teens when the 959 came out. It was jaw-dropping in its advancement. Your comment about the Ferrari F40 is what I always thought. Yes, the Ferrari is exciting and quick, all the things you expect from Ferrari. But it was nothing like the 959 in terms of innovation, nor was it anything like as liveable. Saying the 959 feels like it's 10-12 years old is a great summary, and a measure of how remarkable it is. A friend of mine's father had a 911 3.3 turbo in 1988, the original 4 speed. He used to let me drive it (yes, sounds crazy). That thing was amazing compared with any 'normal' car, so the 959 was next level dreamland stuff. As for the GT2RS? Surely one of the greatest cars able to be bought by the general public ever built. I'm not sure what, if anything, effectively rivals it. I thought the comment about being friends with the world's greatest assassin was funny and apt; the more you think about that, the more it works. It's why I've always loved Porsches from the moment I had my first ride in that friend's 3.3 Turbo. Amazingly quick (for its time) yet ridiculously easy to drive around town. Great video on two of my favourite cars ever built, and wonderful discussion of all the important aspects.

Well, the 959 was sold out in one second. Everything done right, Porsche.

[@The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

@@topspin4456 it still isn't worth $30,000 for and oil change! If he gets an oil change 3 times a year that $90,000! Gtfoh with these wealthy pretentious assholes spending on an oil change what some people make in a year! Then the wealthy barely get taxed especially now since Trumps tax cut for the rich are in place! Its gonna come soon when the poor and middle class start to revolt and the wealthy start getting taken out like the Purge!

[@ArkadiaII]

Marvellous! Excellent story. Thanks for sharing. If I could only have 1 ultimate car, it would still be a 959. Of course, I might ask Canepa to breathe on it a little also.

[@haviiithelegogunner907]

A 959 oil change is 1650 € in europe. Can be done at any Porsche dealership.

[@Brandy911]

$30K is only a stupid legend ... !

[@qc7767]

38 seconds in and I love the editing. Great work.

I sometimes wonder how few people actually have authority on commenting regarding an "every-day-driver" vehicle. As a poor technician in South Africa, upon request, I sourced an original high mileage Boxster 986 for my boss back in ~2010 with some 100k miles on it. He rejected the opportunity, so I bought it on my (paid off) house bond. I still own it and drive it every single day and added to date another ~90k miles. I learned via YT to do all basic maintenance and managed to do it all on my own. Easy. Me with my boys and girl tracked this car so hard that the brakes sometimes boiled after races. Once cooled down it's just ready to repeat it all over again. Our Boxster still looks like new despite so many stories to tell. I drive it every single day it in the red at the first opportunity. So as a every-day driver, going on holiday, shopping, track, church or office day by day, I can honestly say that this German thing is as tough as a 1946 Willis Jeep. Just faster and better and more fun. It is for sure over engineered and virtually bullet proof. I never intend to sell it. Ever. Love from S Africa

Great video and really good interesting reviews rather than buffoons going sideways and shouting. Beautiful location too! I need to drive there!

[@firstname7330]

$30,000 for an oil change? I can just take it to Jiffy Lube for $29.99.

[@RobbieKhan]

Probably because of its original intention, to be used in races.

[@darwinLee81283]

The PDK kills this car. Yeah it's faster Yes it's modern tech. But hearing it shift doesn't speak to me. I'd rather have a manual GT3rs or even an older NA GT3RS

[@robg8578]

No the pdk doesn’t. I’m a huge manual guy, But when you’re buying a gt2rs a manual just wouldn’t do it justice. Also gt3 rs even current gen is NA and if you want a manual you would be just getting a gt3.

[@darwinLee81283]

@@robg8578 how about an example why it wldnt do it justice. Ur argument is only a empty opinion without any evidence

[@gabriela.s.3351]

Although I love how advanced and epic the 959 is, I would take the GT2 RS any day anytime.

[@skrads]

“Great friend with an assassin” 😂 love it. Great cinematography Todd. Paul, I would take the GT2RS. But for me realistically, my Base 991 GT3 is a perfect car and daily drivable with the NA sound bonus! 😃

[@kevindavis5966]

"Great video, now let's talk about MEEEEEE!!!"

[@tigerbiterhater]

You guys need to do a video with Mr. RWB himself and his Porsche’s

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Yes!

[@K03sport]

... No thank you. I detest RWBs, regardless of the "passion" that goes into them.

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

RWB is trash.

[@petroldiaries6769]

Love the way the 959 still looks totally current like it was unveiled yesterday.

[@petroldiaries6769]

I loved my Porsche but still prefer the Lambo

[@kleinbottled79]

I feel like it looks somewhat dated. But maybe that's just because I thought it was so amazing looking at the time when it was new.

[@sanemorisaito]

GREAT VIDEO. 959 was the Queen of Stuttgart, and always will be.

[@axscdvfb]

Wow, after market stereo on a 959. Good taste!

[@independentwith1]

Old cars and retro music, sublime

[@reconforsales7708]

959 is too old for this day and age. It drives too slow

[@McDylanNuggets]

Video compression ruins the grand shots of scenery... Also, 4K anytime soon? Looks good on a phone. Bad on my 4k TV.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

This channel is almost dead they aren't going to increase production. Watch savage geese if you want next level. It's a wonder how they even have the money left to do this.

[@phattyhales]

We actually film everything in 4k but that gets dropped to 1080p most of the time. Documents, we are on the Motor Trend Network, Amazon Prime, and Vimeo. We are far from dead!

[@Euryheli]

Absolutely incredible, guys. Loved it.

[@surfside75]

Yr so very lucky, remember to try and enjoy every moment.

[@nestorflandua5353]

959 for ever

[@hockeymann88]

Great video guys. I am definitely a Porsche fan boy and both of these cars are so lust worthy. That GT2 RS looks incredible going down the road with all that carbon fiber and aero. Just menacing.

[@oligoon]

wow - where's that road - I thought the US was all straight lines. that road needs proper attack

[@andrewshaffer8692]

Pretty sure that's American Fork Canyon in UT. It's even prettier in person.
