Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Nordschleife HOT LAP 7.24 min sport auto Supertest

[@globanxiety]

Such early steering input before entering a corner, what a legend. Gebhardt is an undisputed king of the nordschleife.

[@damonkfist]

Exhilarating! Beautiful sound at the top end of the rev range.

[@MarMPB]

That approach to the finish line is killer!!

[@claudeauclair4771]

Just got my allocation for a 2018 GTS manual tranny but I wanted a GT3 in the beginning for performance and resale value. Since I saw this vid, no regret and I think I got the right car espicially because I do 100% crazy road, 0% track. I'm waiting for Leipzig delivery in October and road trip to the Alps and Meditarian Sea coastal roads. I'm limited to 6,000km so I think I will have to drop the Transfagarasan highway in Romania.

[@andersjensen1499]

Very impressive - one question I believe that this time is set on the OEM mounted tires right ! The new 991.2 GT3 time was set on the new Michelin Cup 2 tires I believe So if the GTS was mounted with the same tires the difference would be even smaller which just makes this GTS even more impressive 👍

[@redinho1994]

Anders Jensen The GTS uses the new Generation of P Zero Corsa Tires, which should be close to the Cup2.

[@andersjensen1499]

Pat Rick thank you - I drove the GTS on public roads and it was pretty impressive - but I never checked the tires -:)

[@Rennteam11]

I am pretty sure your GTS had PZero and not the Corsa. ;-)

[@quikagc5]

Awesome driving as always, Christian!! I'm on the list for a 991.2 GT3 and should have it later this year. I drove a 991.2 Carrera S and was very impressed with the daily drive ability and fun of the new 3.0L Turbo engine. Honestly, I think I'd like a GTS better around town than the GT3, but my head tells me to get the GT3 because it won't depreciate like the GTS. Either way, I'm not complaining, but I do really like the GTS.

[@thomasferrarojr.9772]

GTS does not depreciate much. They hold their value amazingly well! I love mine. Perfect balance of race and daily driver. 👌

I assume that the GTS was tested with the new (optional) Pirelli Corsa tire? ;-) Makes a huge difference but customers usually get the PZero stock.

[@SportautoDe]

Pirelli P Zero Corsa N0

[@Rennteam11]

Knew it...thanks.

[@lejink]

Is it a point against the car that it was tested with the optional tires best suited to track use?

[@Rennteam11]

Not if the optional tire is easily available... Ask Mercedes and their new AMG GT R about it. LOL

[@Rennteam11]

The optional Cup 2 Mercedes uses is not your regular Cup 2 tire...just so you know. There are two Cup 2 tires for the GT R. One is standard and the other one is only available through AMG Performance Studio (the one they tested the car with). Try to get it... LOL

[@Spacedust2610]

Tolle Runde, Respekt !

[@95CSL]

He seems to be revving it out to much - high RPM in corner entries, then immediately shifting on exit or right after - not short shifting and using the torque that it has. Not my technique but he is still a beast. The car .. has got more left in it

[@bigtrack3682]

At first I was wondering about some of those downshifts as well, but two things: 1) If you watch closely he does not appear to be using the paddles at all, so I suspect the PDK programming is making those decisions on its own, and 2): That is Christian Gebhardt, and if he is asking for that shift then who are you or I to argue with him?

[@SoundToyzAreUs]

I think he drives many of the PDK runs on full auto.

[@sald232]

No offense, but I think he knows what to do...

[@christmasisawesome9348]

Sport plus PDK likes to stay at lower gears =) That's why.

With PDCC?

[@jorg1s1]

You can see the PDCC button, so yes.

[@redinho1994]

Sind die neuen P Zero Corsa Reifen schon vergleichbar mit den Cup2 oder eher noch zwischen denen und den PS 4S?

[@Rennteam11]

Die neuen Corsa N0 sind absolut klasse. Auch der PZero N1 im 991.2 Turbo S ist ein toller Reifen und baut erstaunlicherweise nicht so schnell auf der Strecke ab, wie man von einem normalen Straßenreifen erwarten dürfte. Da Porsche Cup 2 Reifen mit N Kennung verwendet, ist ein Vergleich mit dem neuen Corsa N0 und den Cup 2 ohne N Kennung kaum möglich. Man muss in nächster Zeit höllisch aufpassen, was die Reifenwahl bei Tests betrifft: Viele Autohersteller führen ihre Fahrzeuge mit neuen Reifen ein, die oft nur optional oder gar sehr schwer über irgendwelche Abteilungen zu erhalten sind bzw. noch gar nicht lieferbar sind. Dadurch werden auch Testergebnisse verfälscht und falsche Eindrücke hinterlassen. Auch die Rundenzeit des Huracan Performante ist derart gut, weil mal abgesehen vom neuen Aerodynamik System, ein neu entwickelter Trofeo R verwendet wurde. Ob der Huracan Performante standardmäßig mit diesem Reifen ausgeliefert wird, ist mir leider nicht bekannt. Somit sind Vergleiche mit älteren Tests, auch vom letzten Jahr, kaum noch möglich. Noch schlimmer ist die Tatsache, dass es von verschiedenen Reifenmarken und Typen, wie dem Cup 2 von Michelin z.B., nicht nur Autohersteller spezifische Varianten gibt sondern eben auch Sondervarianten. Fazit: Reifenvergleiche kann man aktuell vergessen. Absolut unmöglich!

[@IschChef]

Wenn es keinen Reifenkrieg in der Formel 1 gibt, findet er halt auf der Straße (Nürburgring?) statt. Die Reifen haben den größten Anteil an der Zeitenexplosion auf dem Nürburgring in den letzten Jahren. Was mal interessant wäre: Ein Carrera GT, 997 GT2RS oder andere Autos dieser Zeit auf den neusten Reifen. Was für eine Zeit die wohl schaffen würden?

[@Zubi70m]

Top ausgewrungen die Karre ;)

[@ponygt6629]

I bet a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s would have made this car run a 7:15.xx

[@Kaisuke971]

The PZero Corsa are very sticky tyres, you're not getting 9 sec by swapping them for Cup 2s. No way.

[@ponygt6629]

I do think, so I had driven new BMW M4 with Corsa N0 and it was OK, but the same BMW back in 2017 April swapped to a Cup 2 and the grip levels were superb compared to Corsa N0s, Just try it once, the Cup 2 offer more GRIP

[@Rennteam11]

Which Cup 2? LOL

[@AnthonyOlivo42]

Kaisuke971 Pilot Sport Cup 2's are much grippier than P Zero Corsas. They rival the Trofeo R's so yeah. 10 seconds can be she'd off this lap with that rubber considering that the track is 20.8 KM long and the car did want to oversteer with the Corsas. 7:15 is entirely possible with the Cup 2's.

[@Kaisuke971]

The regular Cup 2s hell no, you're thinking about the Cup 2 ZPs.

[@GT4-CS]

Hammer Zeit 👍👍👍

[@FabianSkilling]

Sounds like a Porsche 991 Turbo.

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

Fabian Skilling Well there probably is no big difference between the engine of the turbo and this one, except for power of course

[@Mr74261000027]

+xXAlmdudlerXx Well, this has a 3.0, while the Turbo has a 3.8, but it does sound similar

[@Rennteam11]

giorgio tsoukalos No, both engines sound different. 3.0 engine with PSE sounds almost like the previous n/a engine, while the 3.8 sounds very muted, probably due to the VTG chargers used.

Love the gt3, but it's so expensive I'd be worried about putting too many miles on it.. If I could afford a 911 I'd go for a GTS and drive it everywhere

[@christophteichmann4741]

Dee Jay the gt3 is not much more expensive than the GTS with performance upgrades

[@lejink]

I didn't mean a loaded GTS, but you're right.. With most automakers it's possible to get the lesser model close to premium prices with options

[@Supcharged]

but when you get a gt3 you'd want to play with the option list...

[@MarMPB]

I read on other comments here that many viewers would buy the GTS, but instead they opt for the GT3 because of the resale value! Totally understandable of course but sad at the same time. Also it escape me how a car that most likely can endure a much harder life on the race track, like the GT3, can retain value like that!

Not necessarily. The new PZero Corsa N0 is quite capable. There is going to be a new Trofeo R soon which will deliver very impressive performance. Not sure however it will be available in GTS size and/or with Porsche blessing (N rating).

Super Leistung ... für den ambitionierten Sportwagenfahrer, der die grüne Hölle noch nicht kennt: der Christian kennt die Strecke in- und auswendig und hat den GTS vor der Fahrt mit Sicherheit auf Slicks oder Semislicks von Pirelli bzw. Michelin umgerüstet,; anderenfalls bekommst Du solche Kurvengeschwindigkeiten nicht hin!

[@rabulc]

[@GohardGTRSCars]

Porsche has made huge strategic mistakes with the 991.1 GT3 RS and this leads me to go now for another brand after 5 Porsche GT cars with intensive track use: 1) 7,000 units built vs 2,000 initially announced by Porsche 2) GTS model faster on the Ring "Thank you" VW influence 👎

[@IschChef]

No idea where you got that thing with the 7000 vs 2000 units from - sure not from a Porsche announcement. The Manthey optimized GT3 RS did 7:09.59 - no engine tuning, but some changes to the suspension geometry and magnesium wheels. If the changes are worth 15 seconds... who knows. But there is no evidence that the new GTS is faster than the 991.1 GT3RS.
