Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Driving the Ultimate 992 On the Street (POV Binaural Audio)

That tactile clicking noise of the paddle shifters is so satisfying!

Unpopular Opinion: Automatic with paddle shifters are as much fun as manual transmission cars and your not less of a car guy for preferring automatic. Slamming through the gears on paddle shifters and feeling the gear change kicking your butt is super satisfying and this Porsche is super cool.

[@bayareaomg]

andd your wrong

[@Stevie4171]

@@bayareaomgnope he’s absolutely correct. Nothing wrong with preferring one or the other.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

I can like both Steak and Fish. Two things can be true. Some cars are better with paddles and a PDK, some are better with a good ole fashoned manual. Neither is "wrong".

[@Vortex_ICEcold]

Automatic with paddle shifters are the way to go. It’s simple and seamless

[@R9FY]

I don’t care if it’s paddles or stick shift. If I can shift myself, I’m happy.

[@jamesjin5706]

Despite not being broken in, the short shifting on the GT3RS sounds just like revving 99% of sports cars out. What a machine.

That click from the paddle shifter sounds so good

[@MadeoN]

They only come with the Weissach Package as well so it's like a 40 000 USD option :D They are magnetic like in the race cars.

[@Mark-rt6fy]

Drove one, the paddles are so tight, take quite a force to press, have such little travel, felt very satisfying

[@TenaciousTomato]

@@MadeoN yeah they're $150 on eBay lol (for BMW/Audi etc.) AND I am not saying they are the same quality, but sounds like some prime Porsche price gouging to me

[@MadeoN]

@@TenaciousTomato haha well the magnetic paddles comes with the Weissach Pack only so they are just part of the bigger package. The other things you get, as Tedward says in the clip, is the carbon exposed hood, roof, cage, other carbon bits in the interior and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting.. I've driven a 992 RS for around 1000km and the feeling from the paddles with weissach pack is totally different from other Porsche paddles. They are just not bigger in size, it's that they are magnetic which create that really tactile click.

[@TenaciousTomato]

@@MadeoN oh sorry misread, and in the back of my mind I was like no way they are charging that for paddles 😂 but yeah either way they are extremely approachable in the aftermarket and I might have a pair already waiting to get installed 👀

[@tyleraguilar2474]

I paid to race a bunch of cars including a twin turbo 6 hybrid (idk the number) Ferrari, a GT4 RS, GT3, Huracan and R8 to name a few. I will say the Porsche stood out above the rest. The confidence it inspires is insane and just urges you to keep pushing its limits. Particularly the GT4 cause the Mid Engine platform is superior. Not an overrated car at all

[@brianhimmelman420]

GT4 if u r on a budget will get job done on the cheap … agree under radar and doesn’t get the love or respect

[@acalthu]

man it reaches 60mph way too quickly. i mean you hit it just as you straightened the wheel after pulling out. that is just insane.

[@mranonymon3]

[@alouisschafer7212]

[@robertlevasseur6843]

I own a 911 Carrera T 992 generation and I find it funny how much of the interior is just like all the other 992s. Makes me appreciate how Porsche designs things correctly for the base 911 and just builds up from the original concept. The fact that mine has some bits in common with the incredible GT 3 RS is very satisfying.

[@MarcusSlater]

Imo the steering wheel, on the fly suspension adjustment is the sickest part. Can't even do that in Gran Turismo.

[@troylovett1170]

Seeing this exact spec in person is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Saw it next to an aventador, would take this 10 times out of 10. Just unreal!!

[@ShaiyanHossain]

not even in the right tax bracket to even think about one of these but man i love the fender work on these. and of course the dinner table as the wing haha

[@chrysalisendeavors]

[@hpkntnw]

I’m confused as to who is!! I have some friends that have done damn well MBA’s and all and they still can’t even think of buying a car like this. I have to believe the only people buying these are trust fund babies that collect millions a year for doing nothing. That’s probably the only person I know that could afford this car. Someone I know His family owns a large salad dressing bottler and he and all his siblings and cousins collect $3 million a year each for tax purposes.

this is a track car that you can daily drive or drive from track to home. gt3 is a daily sports car that you can track. 911 is the best daily drivers car

[@Bug4life]

Definitely not daily drivable, gt3rs is too harsh for the road. Even the GT3 and GT3 Touring lost the daily drivability appeal with the 992 generation, Porsche chasing lap times.

[@aguiii_films]

HEAR ME OUT... I've only got two issues with this car 1- Its IMO too much for a GT3RS in terms of aero. It makes me think the GT2RS is going to look ridiculous. This is what the GT2RS should have had 2- There's too much plastic everywhere. I think there should at lest be some crazy expensive option that would make this car have all the aero bits and pieces made out of carbon fibre that includes both bumpers all the canards and fins etc etc.. Sure it's a lot of carbon fibre but IRL it just ruins the look for me. At LEAST id want the plastic to come in optional glossy black plastic or even making that paint a second colour selection to play with.

[@chiemychiem7533]

lmfao where is the plastic?

[@ShaiyanHossain]

pretty sure if you pay porsche handsomely they can paint the plastics for you

[@aguiii_films]

@@chiemychiem7533 Everywhere? What question is this? Are we looking at the same car? Wing, Bumpers, Sideskirts, vents, Canards, Defuser... IDK if its mixed with some sort of carbon to make it more stiff it looks like the same mate plastic found in the new Mazda CX-30

[@aguiii_films]

@@ShaiyanHossain Yeah but if I'm not mistaken you can only do that via that specific customisation department of Porsche where they will customise basically everything if you pay hundred's of thousands of dollars over sticker price. It's also not a thing they do for every client. It's exclusive to highly prestigious clients. Also I have yet to see a GT3RS that's been customised to the point where all the plastic is painted (Ive only seen one where they paint matched the front bumper). And ive also yet to see a single 992 GT3RS with carbon fibre parts other than the hood, DRS wing and a couple other details

[@Guacalishious]

I would just like to point out that the adjustment on the steering for the differential and such on the wheel is designed to be more of a “fine tuneing” feature. meaning u cant go so far out that say if your wife for april fools day takes ur keys without u knowing and just adjusts everything one way that u crash and die as a result of her crime against marriage

I'm not sure about the definition of ' manual '. You're using the paddles, doesn't that make it manual ? Or is it manual only with a stick ?

[@pietroferrari4279]

Manual usually is when you have a stick and a clutch pedal , the paddle says “manual” because you manually select the gear you want to be , in reality is called semi-automatic

[@importenthusiastchannel]

AGAIN a pdk/dct or a FAST shifting torque converter auto with paddles is ALWAYS better then a manual for the track

[@VK6AB-]

991.2 GT3 RS sounds better and is less twitchy on the front. There is little to no difference in performance on public roads and most slow to medium paced tracks and you have a useable frunk. I'm not sure what the 992 GT3 RS represents, a technical piece showing what can be done, I ditched my allocation and bought a 296 GTB instead. Better bang for buck, more interesting and kept the 991.2 GT3 RS. Win - Win.
