Pro Racer's Take: Porsche 2019 911 GT3 RS

[@ALMX5DP]

I’m just glad the GT3 and GT3 Touring still exist with a manual. I’m sure this is the best transmission for lap times and raw speed, but I feel it would still benefit from an option of having three pedals for the engagement.

[@yonly65]

... and the Speedster for good measure. Rev-matched downshifts and no-lift upshifts make three-pedal life even more enjoyable on track.

[@taforth]

Those fly-by cornering shots looked like it was a racing car carrying that level of speed 👍!

[@yonly65]

Great review - Andy's driving impresses once again, and the GT3RS on Cup2R tires is phenomenal.

[@EmptyPocketsXotics]

@AutomobileMagazine @AndyPilgrim Correct on not being able to get the GT3 RS in a manual, but the standard GT3 can be bought as either a PDK or a manual with or without a wing.

[@Philoreason]

Really good driving! Love that contrasting hood, a bit shouty, but hey it's a GT3 RS

[@pgtmr2713]

Sweet! It's great hearing the numbers around the track.

[@johncrazy8756]

the beauty of sound!!!!

[@RB-xv4si]

Awesome little review. Didn’t know about the increased downforce over the GT2 RS. Also, first review I’ve seen on the GT3 RS fitted with the magnesium wheels (while driving).

[@z06doc86]

Great review. Andy Pilgrim is excellent! Great driver as well.

[@JDSFLA]

My head is still spinning. Great drive and review. Thanks.

[@fedolfs]

9:57 What happened in that left hand corner? It seems like some electronics kicked in?

[@eatingleftnotright8971]

Any chance of getting a 2019 ZL1 1LE (auto) and a 2020 GT500 on here?

[@amineghostdog]

that would be great to see indeed

[@iimiboy]

Great video and driving. How comes this lap isn't up on the fastest lat times?

[@imtchee]

Been jaded by the superlative language that come with RS monikers but this review has taught many things... great video, great driving!

[@cvn6555]

That's Porsche for you. Everything they do is like that. They don't just talk the talk, though...

[@duncanbleak3819]

What a lap....Wow!

[@essaabbas3382]

@1:53 Is he saying that the GT3 RS has more down-force than the GT2 RS ?

[@jsquared1013]

That's what it sounds like.

[@bzdtemp]

Amazing car. Nice video, very nice driving. A detail - the one with the record at the Ring is a GT3 RS MR, so it is a bit more special than the standard RS - something like €80K more special if I recall correctly. Not that the normal RS isn't weapons as it is, to me it is the perfect 911 except I wish there was a way to see the engine.

[@rickracer9742]

Fantastic Video, Andy makes it look easy!! GT3RS @ 9000 …….MAGIC...I want one!!

[@artysanmobile]

Trunk space is so important on this car.

[@walt350z]

I've gotta drive that track.ncm is beautiful

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Have you tested the new a10 zl1 1le? I race a 2016 SS with 305 square setup and thinking of upgrading soon.

[@elmadi7391]

Thanks for posting ! ... I just subscribed!!!

[@charlesmiller6281]

Well done.

[@benjaminpohl]

These reviews are great, but you need to find a better audio engineer. At least put a lav mic on Andy during the walk around.

[@katmanluke7187]

The level is also lower than other channels, had to turn it almost all the way up on track too.... excellent reviews Andy does though!

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Only 2 seconds slower than a Senna. I know the Senna probably has another 1.5 with new tires, but the GT3 RS is insane value!

[@992turbos8]

I toyed around with GT3 but ultimately the Turbo S was the better car as I daily drive it.

[@nuniday3675]

911 991.2 TURBO S that and putting you to sleep! I tried the turbo s. But wasn’t anywhere near as fun as my rs!

[@Michael_00001]

Top speed: 193 MPH. It's actually hard to believe these cars don't break 200 now. The top speed rating on my 2010 Carrera S is 186 MPH. 7 MPH off the mark of this car?!?

[@DidierPeroni]

The large wing contributes heavily to that decreased top speed. Another good example of this is the Viper ACR. Amazing track car, top speed? 186 mph

[@aintnopity]

If the goal of this car would be top speed I think 210 miles could be possible

[@katmanluke7187]

If you compared this car on track with yours, you'd quickly find out why in corners. And in general stability. This car's aero is set up for fastest times on a track w/curves & turns. It has incredible downforce in comparison to yours, albeit at a drag penalty. The non-RS GT3 is setup w/less downforce & for this reason is actually faster top end about 5 mph(actually a significant drag reduction to do this). No offense, but as the owner of a high-perf 911 it puzzles me you don't understand these basic aerodynamics...

[@megathumper777]

Please help, been trying to work out for months.... where’s the accent from?

[@rickc2102]

Nottingham, but he's been hanging around with a lot of Yanks.

[@sleepeatdrive7619]

Wow

[@QuietStormX]

Sweet........ 😎

[@roletnabih]

nice

[@deanroddey2881]

Please before I die... Heck, I'll settle for not too long after I die worst case I guess.

[@93455Driver]

9000 rpm, enough said.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

So you have nothing to say after you’ve driven it?? Weird

[@kylerobinson8913]

Porsches never had frunks! What a gross word. Leave it for the farting Teslas.

[@johnomahoney7755]

To much car for me!

[@bobohara3974]

Too much car for 95% of the people reading this.

[@sxley898]

Whats with the false accent? British/American - chose one!

[@CompletekTraining]

Sounds like you need to learn how to drive the GT2rs 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@EODHammer]

Exactly...It must have been running on 1 cylinder. I had to replay it and make sure he actually said that

[@GowthamNatarajanAI]

@@EODHammer You can't go as fast in a GT2 RS in turns because it is heavier. GT2 RS is faster than GT3 RS only in straight lines.

[@EODHammer]

@@GowthamNatarajanAI Gowtham, It's very obvious you have never owned a 911 or know much about 911's. That's the most asinine comment I've ever heard. Whomever is doing the driving here doesn't know what he's doing. The GT2 RS is the fastest track sports car in the world. It's Nurburgring record speaks for itself. And No, it's not because of the straights on the ring, the GT2 is the fastest track car the Porsche builds. This is a undeniable, indisputable fact. Porsche doesn't built "Straight line" cars.

[@Mockle07]

Ted Davis The GT2RS has been beaten in numerous multi car tests, it totally depends on the track/conditions; some tracks will suit some cars more than others - Nurburgring lap times are not a simple performance barometer. Suggesting that this guy driving “doesn’t know what he’s doing” is far more asinine than the comment you were responding to... he’s a pro driver with a 30-year career, he can clearly drive.
