Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0L - First Drive Review! Modern Classics Ep 8

[@IULENZA]

This is one of the best automotive series ever.

[@CarGuysGr]

I agree 100%! It's amazing and he does such a great work filming it!

[@mykara7394]

Mercedes benz SLS AMG Black Series Please please please please

[@jackman8929]

yes please

[@anthonydobbelaere704]

Sls Blackseries please Mr JWW

[@mykara7394]

anthony dobbelaere thats what i have commented about.... i really wanna see that car and get a review from the wonderful British vocabulary of James

[@pillieee]

Murcielago SV you would prolly fall in love and buy one.

[@tomislavbratkovic2986]

This series is pure fire.. You're killing it dude!

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yes James! Even when commenting suggesting this car I knew it would already be on your list!

[@sleepeatdrive7619]

Not a bad way to start the day, a Mr. JWW video!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Great video, James. Lots of useful information. Impeccable presentation on this one. Not too zany, just no-nonsense Porsche goodness.

[@darrylweathers6764]

Thankyou James, I can now stop leaving comments suggesting you drive a GT3 RS 4.0 for the Modern Classics series 😂👍

[@pedroleao4880]

Now you should review the 911 GT2 RS 997.2!!!

[@MultiMiladmilad]

Pedro Leão Jamesy pls do this

[@Michael_Shay]

The exterior tour really ties the series together, I'm glad you truly listen to your fans unlike many others. Keep up the good work as always.

[@sunnylam2284]

James, go for an NSX-R NA2 (I believe it's my eighth time commenting) you won't be disappointed

[@888mf4]

Also a great car, but not easy to source one and GBPJPY has collapsed over the last two years

[@ardijanuar2036]

Rather than always repeatedly requesting, why don't someone find owner of the nsx r or anything else that willing to lend their cars for review? It bugs me to see those type of comments. I mean I'm already impressed james find all those cars in his series of review. They're not easy to find let alone easy to drive around.

[@owenrivard8832]

seen through glass has a video on one now!

[@ivanlipik]

Here is some other modern classics you should do a video about 560 sec amg, 190-2.5, mk2 golf gti, mk4 golf r32, maybe even a Mercedes w140 s600 or a s70 if you can find one. I think that cars value will jump in couple of years because its the last Mercedes where engineers had more influence over accountants and cars were built with little regard to material and production cost, and lets not forget it was designed by Bruno Sacco.

[@MrCarGuy]

Of course they were designed with regard to "materials and production costs". I know what you're inferring here. The W220 had more development costs for the new materials and polymers, etc., and production methods than the 140 ever did (all to save weight and compete with the aluminum A8). Nearly 300 patents were filed on behalf of the 220. The 220 was the most innovative and expensive car for them to develop in recent history.

[@amanbora1575]

these videos prove time and again that Mr jww was, is, and always will be the most classiest ,suave and the best automotive you tuber and automobile journalist in the world, with the only exception of perhaps the old top gear cast and Chris Harris!

[@1seipai]

Excellent stuff! You really should try to get an E90 M3 Carbon Racing Technology if possible! Only 67 were made.

[@moneyparhar]

Noting special about BMW

[@Forflies]

Bro where are the roads you test cars on?

[@MrJWW]

All over the country / despite this video looking good, it really wasn’t 😂 crap road surface and loads of traffic 🤷🏻‍♂️ go to Scotland our deepest Wales if you really want it

[@davidlewis9014]

I totally agree but then again Ashridge is soooooooooooo much closer. Live and work in Berkhamsted so love the views you are giving us. :)

[@morganmobiletto]

You want roads worse than the UK? Come to Finland. In the winter (as in right now) we are driving on an ice rink. Spring we have giant holes due to the ice heave under the roads. And in the summer...... remember that only 40% or roads are asphalt in Finland. All “fun” in various ways in a Cayenne S :) Bad roads are not always “bad”

[@velko2433]

@@morganmobiletto yeah so come to Bulgaria and try our "roads"... they are crap :)

[@s.-8406]

One of the sickest cars ever made

[@smminco]

I paused at 2 seconds for this comment. I was hoping you'd do this car. I got a white 2012 4.0 for $20k over sticker when a collector backed out. I was actually going in looking for a regular RS, walked out with this car, fell head over heels, and I don't even care that it's skyrocketed in value, because I daily and track drive this car like value doesn't mean a thing. It's the epitome of an analog car.

[@porschecollector727]

smminco I salute you! How many miles do you have on it now?

[@smminco]

@@porschecollector727 59,000. But that's also taking into consideration there are a couple other cars that I weekend drive/track. But looking back, I can't believe the dealer just let me have it for 20k over. And I'm betting the guy who backed out is really kicking himself.

[@smminco]

@@porschecollector727 not to mention, I almost didn't go to look at the RS at all, because I really didn't wanna get rid of my sure cooled Porsche at the time, and I couldn't even come close to being able to afford both.

[@dinotom1]

No such thing as 2012, only 2011 model year

[@iandalonso]

I've never really understood why older people adore classic cars, but watching these videos has given me some perspective. I know when I get older I'll remember these cars as classics.

[@MrJWW]

Am I an older person now? 😭😂

[@colinmorand129]

Ian Alonso dude ,you don’t have to be older to adore classics 😂

[@kumarankarth86]

By far one of the most extreme and appreciated track-focused cars I've seen to date even on the roads of Boston while going to grad school and cars and coffee events.. My dream...

[@eichler721]

Your modern classic series is killing it. You are driving the best cars with cinema levels of quality and editing. Great job James

[@richardcatchlove9115]

Thank you James, brilliant as always. It’s the editing and continuity that adds to your series. How about Peugeot 205 GTI.

[@moneymoney733]

Murcielago roadster 6speed manual, 355 6 speed manual, 550 Barchetta 6 speed manual,6 speed Gallardo Superleggera or 6 speed Balboni 550, 2005 NSX, 6 speed Ferrari Superamerica, Ferrari V12 612 Scaglietti 6speed manual- with an aftermarket exhaust they sound amazing, Diablo, 996 Porsche GT2 RS, 997 Porsche Turbo Mezger engine, 996 GT3 RS, Maybe the 430-16M- The sound is incredible with the top down,2012 Mercedes SL65 AMG, SLR McLaren, 2006 Maserati Gransport MC, 07 Aston Martin V-12 Vanquish, 2011 Aston Martin dbs, F50 Ferrari, Enzo. Those are some incredible cars. Hope you get them on the channel. Thanks for all the content that you have provided and will provide. Good luck with everything!

[@cameronbrown1737]

A review of the 996 GT3 would be awesome!

[@nikomoin7604]

Still the best gt3 rs to date. It’s a manual, what a dream

[@garytucker969]

I like how you asked whether to do exterior specs before driving and then actually doing it. Great job @MrJWW

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

When I make some money, I'm coming back to rewatch this series and choose my fleet of cars!!

[@EfraKrajo]

That engine just sings... what a delightful tone it have... epic!

[@Erik-sz1pq]

6:05 I REALLY AGREE. How hard can it be? 1. Pick a sheet of paper in stuttgart 2. Make a box for every x amount of cars in the collection 3. Start checking those boxes, for every done car!

[@pagz7779]

I'm loving this series! It has become one where when I see a new video, I watch it regardless of the car featured

[@anthonyfen-chong5557]

I'm glad you're doing this serie, these cars needed more coverage from today's stand point !

[@Electricalwav]

Probably one of my favorite 911 model. I saw Salomondrins black one back in the CUP days

[@AP-ql1tt]

This is next level content compared to everyone else! Keep it up this is fantastic!

[@marcjudge680]

James, a fantastic choice of a modern classic. A true drivers car to engage with. Bravo

[@888DMAC]

Awesome work as always James. You take us all on a ride without BS of the “other” KZbinrs & we thank you for that. WHAT A CAR mate.

[@Fioravanti.80]

Good video JWW! Perfect roads to drive these cars, and shame about the weather conditions... Not a Porsche fan, however cannot be denying, this is a very very special car.

[@B3RGH]

I think another interesting comparison would be the Porsche Cayman R, another very lightweight care and perfect for British roads. If you could get your hands on one of those i think that would be class!

[@BACK2PORT]

Episode 8 the best yet because Porsche. Again top top quality and again Porsche

[@aoum_]

I 've been waiting for this one for a long time....since you started this serie i have to confess ! This is the ultimate road car for me i dream abaout it every single day since it's been released ! I hope i'll get a 3.8 RS next year to get closer from this one, but if i win the lotery i swap it for a 4.0 instantly! Thanks james for this video, you're the best car youtuber, keep going man ;-)

[@allensaunders449]

Nobel m600 a car still made but the overall design isn't new. People who drive it love it

[@peterrb5t14]

Hard to get hold of but some old group B rally cars would be awesome to see on the channel 205 T16, RS200, Audi quattro and metro 6R4

[@S.wilson911]

Superb as always James. The best so far.

[@TERZERA24]

Thease modern classic videos are outstanding! That 4.0 is really a different beast than the 3.8.

[@farzadizaddoustdar4259]

Loving this new series, James. Great idea and execution. Looking forward to more content.

[@johnjones5631]

Modern classics is the best series! 4.0 is definitely a beast

[@leotac5737]

Such a great video! Modern classics series is THE BESTTTT!!!

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

I honestly think the TDF should go and make a place for a CGT..

[@user-yr9hp5sv9t]

I find it interesting James subs have really increased during this series whilst Sams have barely crept up for “drive the world “ which I also like. Really interesting reviews of genuinely cool cars James,well done✔️

[@mikeestremera4180]

Best 911 of all time, also when is the Murciélago SV vídeo coming😁

[@manisbho]

What a stunning video JWW!!!! Well done sir! Porsche is king! Nuff said

[@titor8017]

Purely epic. Please don’t ever get rid of your Porsche.

[@felixpflueger]

A Porsche 993 GT2 or Carrera RS would be a great car for your modern classic series!

Really like these modern classic episodes!

[@DIRBert]

Funny you showing my grey/gold 3.8GT3RS at JZM. Totally unique those 997 RS’s.

[@jessehoefsmit4387]

What about something completely different James? A Renault Clio V6! Would love to see that.

[@888mf4]

Clio Williams

[@jessehoefsmit4387]

@@888mf4 both would be even more special!

[@humzai9885]

James, brilliant review first of all! With so much hype about the 991 GT2 RS, it's predecessor and my personal favorite, the 997.2 GT2 RS sadly seems to be forgotten. Don't think us old school enthusiasts didn't see that silver one behind you in the closing scene, so I'm hoping you will be reviewing the widow maker !!!

[@MohammedAli-te2qn]

Brilliant video as always on such a special porsche . Well done MR JWW 👌🏾

[@Mike.W.Dasher]

Love the car and vid! As far as other modern classics, maybe it's just the American blood running through my veins, but I keep thinking the C6 Corvette Z06, with the 7.0L NA V8 and the carbon package, will be a future classic. I doubt you could find one of those to play with over there, but it would certainly be interesting to see someday and hear your thoughts. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@Juzza04]

That was great a great review, love that car......good work !

[@taforth]

Ideal spec is that colour 👍. The significance of the ‘Mezger engine’ is that he is Porsche’s most famous engine designer (other than Ferdinand himself of course!), In that he designed a good portion of their race engines, including the infamous 917 series, the multiple F1 World Champion winning TAG McLaren engines, as well as the much less successful Footwork Arrows V12 F1 engines. He also penned the original boxer 6s for the 911, etc... So, this car truly wore dents the end of an era in both chassis AND engine design!

[@OriginalBernieBro]

Ooooohhhh that white spec is LIT silver/red trim!

[@Savethemanuals94]

This is my favourite car ever. That particular generation.

[@alfaman418]

Fantastic video. JWW definitely way ahead of the rest

[@Jamesduce]

Without a doubt in my top 3 favourite Porsche’s

[@cyruseslami5535]

Awesome Video of hands down the most awesome car!! (In my opinion, of course). Great work James! A bit off topic but I had no idea that European Spec 997.1 PCM's were different than American Spec 997.2 PCM's. Pure Blue 997.2 Speedster is in the works for me at the moment because as much as I idolize the RS 4.0, you might as well buy a CGT for that money.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Active motor mounts are what added the refinement.

[@_arthouse]

Awesome mate, i'd been looking forward to this one, having just bought a 997.2. The 4.0 is THE dream! I'd love to see some sort of VW Golf next - a Rallye, a Limited (G60 16V) ..as Golf R's are so popular these days it'd be great to see the cars that they were evolved from, 4WD with forced induction in a small hatchback has been around for longer than a lot of people may realise.

[@sgtmichael00]

Porsche 997 GT2RS? 🤔

[@mpanayi1]

would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the steering feel between the 4.0L and your 991.2 GT3... Cheers

[@44_Mark]

This place is literally up the road from me. Amazing car. Awesome video 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Joe32942]

Very cool as always, James. Because you've asked about getting a classic sports car: This might be it!

[@cuthberter]

6:45 it's not gen1 / gen2 infotainment. just one has the basic system whilst the second has the touchscreen version. The actual 997 gen1 nav was silver and pretty old school!

[@nielslodder7202]

Very cool!! This could as well be your all time car which you talked about a while ago, manual, special and rare.. perfect choise I would say 😉

[@drewpickering2560]

Great review James! I’m a Porsche fanboy and this could be my favorite Porsche of all time so this video is extra special to me. Also is there a CGT coming in this series because I think it’s the car that perfectly describes this series. Keep up the great videos!

Do the JDM legends Supra, NSX, RX7, GTRs that would be fun to see.
