By the way, I forgot to mention pricing. Porsche says it starts around $224,000, which is about $60,000 more than a GT3. Good luck getting either one of them for anything close to those prices, though.
We love ya doug nice porsche ya got in your garage😅👍
Haha a wild Matt Farah just jumps in 😂
so when will the 992 gt3 rs go cheap or get a 75% discount?
Im astonished that in the USA, authorised dealerships are free to charge whatever they wish if a car is trending.
Halfway across the world in India (where I live), you will never see dealerships charging their own prices for such type of cars. Pricing has always been dictated by the manufacturer, although, dealers can give discounts to clear up stock or during festive seasons.
I don’t know if there’s a law in place to protect consumers but I know for a fact you’ll never unnecessarily overpay, over and above the retail price of a car
@@Gandhi2241 I wish that was a thing here in the USA. That is a smart business motive in your country.
Seeing Doug on a track is like seeing a Penguin in Egypt.
For real
Doug is the type of guy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
💀🤣
Fun Fact: There’s an indoor ski centre in Egypt with penguins in it.
Great video Doug 👏🏻
Doug, small correction. The team lead for the GT department actually said those hood louvers direct the warm air to the sides. The problem was that that the warm air ran down the sides of the car and then came back over the rear “glass” and then into the intakes. The fins on the top are designed to keep that warm air from ever getting to the to the intakes; not to remove the warm air from the roof of the car.
Yeah I caught that too, reinforced when reminded the rear fender intakes are not for engine air.
That’s what he said though, to keep it from the intakes
I wanted to react the exact same thing, then I read this🤝👌
He said that and showed a path visually but nice short story regardless.
HOW DARE YOU CORRECT DADDY DOUG
Doug is the kind of guy who looks hilarious in a race helmet
I actually thought it was Jay Leno for a second
He looks like buzz lightyear😁
I was thinking the same thing
How tall is Doug? It seems like the helmet was baby sized compared to his head.
Why is Jay Leno wearing a toddlers helmet in Doug's driving video?
I think Doug never STOPPED selling Porsches. You just run this video at the dealer, plus the actual thing on display, and it sells like hotcakes. Well, I think it works for any car.
Please go inside one, you'll see why people who work with cars respect Porsche
It would do that regardless even without this video. There's a reason for this
Well, the gt3 and gt3rs now have allocation spots because of their high demand. But for things like the Carrara T, it would help. They don't sell as many of those and his video on the T was good.
That's his secret, Cap. He's always selling Porsches
Those kind of Porsches sell by themselves
One very special quirk Doug didn't mention: When you look at the rear reflector of the car, you can notice two air vents. The one on the top is real, the one beneath is fake. Andreas Preuninger, the Head of Porsche's GT Divison, hates fake vents. So the lower vent reads "no vent".
This little feature can be seen in Top Gear's "FIRST LOOK" with AP @ around 7 minutes (not sure if i can link the video here)

This is absolutely hilarious.
7:25 to be exac
@@NightmaresBTW but also epic.
I couldn't help just watching the wing on the back adjust to where Doug was on the track and automatically setting the correct height etc. Just amazing. What a fantastic video. Thank you sir!
It does adjust very quickly! That's exactly what I was watching during track time!
@@thecman26 agreed
That guest appearance by Matt 😂 🤣 glad to see y'all both enjoying a great day at the office

Where's Matt?
Pro Tip: A car with this much aero and crafted by Porsche, a reputable manufacturer with massive racing experience AND success... IF THEY say the tiny aero bits do something... BELIEVE THEM. 100% chance they do exactly what is claimed, otherwise they wouldn't exist on a model such as this.
The perfect amount of aero for a cars and coffee parking lot.
@@ImARealHumanPerson Cars&Coffee Saturday, Ripping it up on the local track Sunday
@@whothebeast666 flipping it on Sunday. Nobody's gonna take that to the track cause owners are too scared, into the garage it goes.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 don't they blacklist you for flipping these early? I know a guy who bought the 992 GT3 when they had been out for maybe a month. He sold it fast and got barred from Porsche dealers
You can believe Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Lamborghini...
Just don't believe Ferrari...if the Bahrain GP is anything to go by, Ferrari just flat out lie to their fans.
As a person that has had the blessing to drive a gt3rs hard on a race track, I can tell you it is a truly exquisite experience. Worth every penny.
I love seeing cars like this driven on the track where they belong. I hope we get to see more of Doug in a helmet in the future!
Yes. 2024 possibly.
1:35 hell of a crossover episode. Maybe get a one take with Doug and Matt sometime.
Doug's been on Matt's TST podcast a few times, and it's always a great listen. He was on not too long ago; probably around the same time this was recorded.
@@CaptainJdotJdot yes I listen to Matt's podcast all the time. But would be cool to have them both review a car together too
@@CaptainJdotJdot it’s very rare that I sit through a podcast in it’s entirety but that latest one was about 3 hours and I listened to every minute. Matt and Doug have an awesome chemistry
Nice cameo from Matt. Could be a fun Easter egg for when you guys inevitably link up at press launches. Also I can't wait for the savagegeese review so I can see that active underside aero.
Can’t find it
Matt who? Who that guy?
@@tistarrak242 1:36
@@epsilontiger Matt Watson.
1:34 - I loved that bit. 👌🌟🌟 Always good to see Matt around.
Thank you Doug for reviewing and testing a track focused car on the track. I've been waiting for a review like this since you drove the McLaren P1 GTR. If there's anyway for you to get that car on a track and make a video, please do it. Great content as always 👍
Doug your passion for cars is truly unmatched. Why do I always want to buy a car after a Doug Demuro review.
I have to turn on the Xbox and build a new car on Forza... it sorta scratches the itch.
Depends on the type of car lol
Seriously. I watch a Doug video then I get the urge to go beat on my 98 V70R like it's the last time I'm going to drive. Lol.
*Top Gear and Chris Harris would like a word with you*
Then you must have never seen another car guy
HOLY that white + green combo looks stunning
Factory green wheels that aren't front the 80s? Neat.
It’s ugly in person. I like raw carbon but this just doesn’t work well.
The airbrake isn’t just to aid in slowing down more quickly, but to help with stability under heavy braking.
This whole car looks like it was designed in an air tunnel. Amazing engineering.
Duh... that's because it was.
@@N911GT2 I found that out later in the video! ;)
Probably one of the coolest cars ever made. To me this is an absolute masterpiece in terms of shape and function
True. It's just unusable in the real world. Might as well leave it at the track or better yet buy a real racecar
@@mg-by7uu "Unusable in the real world"??? Not at all. A colleague owns one and he drives it most of the time. In fact, he's had it since around Christmas time and already clocked up a few thousand miles. It's not got the creature comforts as the regular GT3 but it's far from "unusable".
Its a lot more suited to daily driving than a 458/488, McClaren 570s/720s or something similar.
@@mg-by7uu silly take, plenty of people drive way more intense cars everyday. My neighbor daily drives his Viper ACR extreme, a car most people say is trying to kill, seems pretty chill to me
@@jaytee444444 He probably owns a 991 or 997 which are very usable in the real world just a bit bumpy. The 992 has no trunk and it's literally 50% stiffer. You can't even take it on a road trip with 2 people unless you strap your suitcases on the roof. I drove my GT3 4000 miles straight with dog in the back and a woman in passenger seat. That would never be possible in this car
@@mg-by7uu Ha ha ha ha! Yeah of course you did. I bet the dog drove a few hundred miles too eh? 🤦
It's a 2019 991 and it doesn't differ that much from this one. The aero is more, but not that much.
As for the suspension being "50% stiffer"... Well, now I think you making this crap up. The new one does have a few improvements including a double wishbone but 50%? 😁😁
Great review , thank you for converting the pounds to KG and the miles to KM ! Regards from Portugal
I think this is the first time ever I'm seeing Doug participate in track tests/days... Nice change!
Fantastic review, as always! Absolutely breathtaking car, especially in this spec. One of the best cars money can buy right now!!
Doug is the type of guy to have done more for Porsche Inc after quitting than when he was on their payroll.
It is not Porsche incorporated, its actually Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG
Technically correct
@@wallysnakes2690 Bullshit
@@wallysnakes2690 he regularly says he refuses to be paid anything to review a car, and takes no freebies. no free flights or hotels. any gear they give him he gives away to friends if they send it without him asking. not his m/o
@@wallysnakes2690 which interview was it, in case you could recollect?
Matt! An unexpected crossover
I love how the active aero it’s so subtle but you can still see in the rear doing this thing big plus for me. Damn 😅 how crazy is the GT2 gonna be
Porsche stopped making GT2s I think
@@ckapka_AA12 They didn't said that, probably they will release a GT2 near the end of 992 model
@@caidee 992.2 will bring 2rs back Prolly
@@caidee ok…
Oh wow, this is not just a car... it's a work of art. Absolutely in love with it.
Holy cow that green and white combination is killing it. I’m not usually a fan of colored wheels but that green is *chefs kiss*
The one time that someone else shows up to say "its time for the quirks and features" and HE ALSO wears 2 shirts. Wouldn't expect less from daddy doug
If Doug ever reviews an Audi TT he should just wear one T shirt lmao
Please god inject more Matt/Doug crossovers into my veins. All their podcasts are always so much fun to listen to. The most recent one was an absolute BANGER.
Didn’t recognize that it was Farah?
@@roddydykes7053 I didn't know who he was until right now actually xd, Doug is pretty much the only American car yt channel I follow
This video was a treat Doug! Though I have to say after your fascinating review, a focused lap at the end with a dashboard cam or something would be great to see!
Love watching the wing go up and down based on speed and driving !! Awesome
The farah cameo made me laugh so hard lol
Haha, loved the Matt Farah cameo, top tier!
Doug's passion is UNMATCHED!! Love to see it!!
The rear wing moving in the background looks great.
Watching that aero wing dance behind Doug’s head is so cool and I can only imagine it will soon become an available option on the Turbo S.
That would be really out of place on a Turbo
Why would the gt3rs wing be available on the turbo s?
This active aero is game changing on the confidence and stability available in the 911 chassis. It's a bit naive to think that those who can afford the most powerful engine and drivetrain combination wouldn't want the ability to stick that power to the ground with this much control. Especially with electric hybrid torque vectoring encroaching on the tip of the mountain top.
@@baimun it’s not naive, it’s simply that the turbo s holds a different niche in the 911 range. The turbo s is meant to be more of a “daily driver” comfortable 911, whereas the gt3 rs is hard core and track oriented. The turbo s already has active aero, just obviously not to this extent. I can all but guarantee you will not be seeing a wing taller than the roofline on a turbo s. Where you are highly likely to see another iteration of this wing, and perhaps even a more hardcore version of it, would be in the gt2 rs.
@@SerbianBeastz Agreed.... but there are always those who want "More" or "The Best" regardless of if it's practical, comfortable, or daily drivable.
Love the Ninja Turtle green.
22:13 he took the words right out of my mouth. Sounds like one of those cars that handles and reacts so well it would make me feel like I know what I’m doing!!
Love Dougs style of reviewing cars. He makes any car and speaks about them like there nothing to be taken so seriously, he makes fun of the car no matter what brand or purpose of the vehicle which is something your don't see often in reviews. He is just honest.. It's fun watching his reviews.
Man you uploaded 20 minutes early! I thought I was late for work!
Doug is the type of person to give his girlfriend a Doug score😭
He's a married man and a father. No girlfriend for him.
He's married with a kid.
But yeah I'm pretty sure he gives her a Weekend Score and a Daily Score
You mean his wife.... lol
I’m sure this has been done
You are not a fan
I love everything about this car and what it stands for. What an absolute unit!
Was waiting for this. Always a great video!

Doug in his racing helmet looks like he's doing a remake of "Spaceballs"
Pretty neat seeing the rear wing move on track.
I’ve been to the racing lessons at the track for Porsche experience in alabama several times. Aside from the performance of Porsche, the most amazing thing is that an example with 25k mikes of nothing but track time is in perfect shape. The mechanics say they don’t need to do anything but tires, oil, and brakes. I’ve autocrossed mine a fair amount and no problem.
My man 😎 love you Matt, good to see 2 of my most favorite people on earth collaborate
Matt should've said, "I got yer quirks and features right here, baby."
Andreas Preuningr (Head of Porsche GT DIvision) is a pure Car Guy. He's done some Videos and Interviews in English. Definitely worth checking out for those into these Cars.
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Work of art! Truly amazing. We can't wait to get ours and share it with everyone to enjoy (:
Such a fire intro into the qwarks and features!!!!
As much as the GT3 RS is a boy's dream come true car, for me, personally, the more and more GT3 Touring is growing... it' s clean, subtle and still packs the GT3 punch...
I have a similar feeling with this new one. The 997 gt3 rs is my dream car of all time and I´ve always preferred GT3 RS over the standard GT3. But with the 992, porsche is pushing a extreme that even though it results in masterpiece of engineering performance,
it´s too much for me (if I could ever come even close to affording one). The new gt3 is really growing on me, and it is a my happy medium between the touring and the rs
Same thing for me
I’m the same. The 992 GT3 and RS are really ugly. Definitely the ugliest GT product 911
Couldn't click any faster to see this video! Great review, Doug!
Gotta say, this new gt3 rs is very wild looking which may put off some people, but I absolutely love it. I am all for the rs cars looking as close to the race cars as possible.
Haven't watched doug in probably a year just thought about him and looked him up and of course i hear the iconic "THISSS" love it
I imagine that cut on the side behind the wheel will kick up so many stones into the paint, making ppf a MUST for this portion of thr car right?
I was just waiting for this one, I knew I was around the corner! I loved it!!!
Doug, dope collaboration with Matt. I was thrown all the way off by that. 👌🏾🔥

These are amazing cars. And much, much faster and better than the old classic 911's. I'm sure it's lightning fast on Nurburgring Nordschleife too.
But still... I would choose the analog 964 or 993 over this one every day of the week and also Sundays. These are supercars and a big departure what the original 911 represented. Cheers, great video Doug. You're the man!
You think that because they were analog that they weren’t super cars for their time. They wouldn’t have made the 904, 959, or even the 550 Spyder if they weren’t thinking crazy performance at the time
@@alfredoladino9838 Sure they were. But they were about half the size, didn't have TC, didn't have launch control, didn't have electronically adjusted everything.
They weren't as fast but they were pure driving experience.
But uve never driven these new ones? How do u come to that conclusion
@@Insetta What makes you think I haven't driven the new ones? I have driven the 991 and 992.
Doug is the type of guy who gets more excited saying Cars and Bids than Louis in France in the 15th Century
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING??? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What other wisdom do you have, leader
Just saw one of these in Mechanicsburg PA this week at PA-114 and US-81 intersection. It was green and had all the aero stuff Doug mentioned. I heard it before I saw it. I didn't notice the American flag in the wing that Doug mentioned, but I'm sure the badging was GT3RS, since I was right next to it at the red light. I knew I was looking at something special, and then I saw this video... PS - Mechanicsburg PA has a Porsche dealer, so I am not surprised to see this car on a public road.
Saw this in red at the Porsche museum in January. The rear 3/4 view is absolutely bonkers! Mental car all around.
the 992 GT2 is gonna rip a hole through time and space.
Awesome automobile
Mesmerizing yet energetic green shade to go with white makes this a lemony lime eye candy.
This may be the same one but I saw one and a wrap shop yesterday. You can't miss this car it stands out so nicely
That white and green color combo is iconic. Those rims are just plain sick. The amount of vents and fins this car contains are not only maddening in how they look in general, they are extremely precise in how they function. Everything about the newest GT3 RS to me, is pure beauty, technological prowess and basic brute strength combined into the same package. It's just, well...BRILLIANT.
Wheels. They’re wheels.
Ayyyeeeee Matt man was i hyped to see his jolly face introducing the GT3 RA 😃😎 what a G
I love the way the rear spoiler works in action!
The fact that Porsche is able to add only 30lbs on top of a normal GT3 for better performance is absolutely amazing. Wider rims and tires alone could add more and yet they kept it at a clean 30lbs more. Magnificent!!!! I will buy this over a new Ferrari any day or year for that matter!
The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 992 only weighed 1063kgs.
Doug: “the GT3 RS is just too much race car for the street”
Also Doug: buys Carrera GT
just teasing, i’ve been waiting for this review!! loved it.
So excited for the next video
A gem
Best of its kind
Finally Doug in a track car at the track 😊
What a beautiful spec. The stats sheet is insane but I love the little details like how the tachometer is still analog or how everything that you interact with is perfectly thought out.
mine finally arrived!! just took delivery 2 weeks ago and its amazing!! money well spent
Great video, now I’m going to watch it
Doug the kind of guy to wear a red T-shirt when reviewing a car with green wheels.
Doubling the downforce from the most recent previous model is a mind-bending accomplishment. But trying to drive a Tribute version on the street would be nuts - the JDM crowd would be constantly buzzing around you like a hive of wasps keying on that color scheme.
Thank you Matt, very cool
After 40 years of being in love with 911 style Porshes, they never cease to steal my heart! 😍
So it’s only available in the U.S. but, it’s a euro spec with the cage?
It’s a different car he’s driving compared to reviewing
The special edition is us only. The „normal“ gt3rs is sold worldwide
Love watching the DRS in action...
the main thing that helps the warm air escape towards the side of the car and away from the engine is the vortex generators in the nostrils. The fins on the roof only prevent the warm air from coming back over the roof and into the engine. Andreas Preuninger even mentioned that these vortex generators guide the warm air around the door windows and actually defrosts them in the winter.
OK, having Matt for that was hilarious 🤣
Who's Matt?
@EpicRaptorMan Matt Farah, he's the guy that doug edited in for a couple seconds at the beginning. Another popular TH-cam and porsche owner
The only thing with more quarks and features is Doug's hairline
It's cool watching that active aero spoiler go up and down as you hit the brakes or floor it
The Farah cameo killed me lol that was gold 😂
Wow, Doug.2.8 thousand views in 7 minutes. You are absolutely crushing it, these days. I expect to see you with your own show on Netflix or Hulu any day, now.
Doug's Garage
He really Doug out the views today.
I don't think he would do that. He wants to own his content. Doing a show for them means that they own it. Unless he sets up a production company and creates one to sell it. But Netflix doesn't like to license shows anymore.
I was going to suggest Demuro Motors. He could develop a car that was 10's all across the board. The Demuro 100 - with a perfect Doug Score.
@@joshuabrown3654 I've tried to figure out what that would be. It would have the acceleration of a Tesla S Plaid, the top speed of a Bugatti Chiron, the handling of a McLaren Senna, the fun factor and cool factor of a Chiron, the features of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossed with a Tesla, the comfort of a Cullinan, the quality of a Lexus LX600, the practicality (cargo capacity and seating) of a Cadillac Escalade ESV but the external size of a Mini Cooper for ease of parking with the fuel economy of a Tesla, and it will cost $30k to max out value.
Great video - 3 thoughts:
1. The green stripes and the reflectors make an Irish flag
2. Fun to watch the active aero when on the racetrack
3. This isnt a fashion show but first time Doug looked old (in that helmet) - which makes me even more old:):(
Came here for THISSSSS, haven't been disappointed
You can see the active aero through the rear window. Pretty cool
It has manual door handles unlike other 911 models. Interesting.
Probably to save weight. Frankly, it is better as well.
The gt3 cup 2022 has it as well. Might be more convinient for racing maybe idk.
Its safer
Major props for providing feedback review while driving fast on a race track knowing full well that you probably need to do this in one take. PS you should just review all cars on this track.
You're...skeptical...about Porsche...knowing how to build...a racecar? Doug continues to surprise me 😆
Watching that wing move is just like watching aircraft surfaces move... extremely precise.
You can tell Doug gets really excited when reviewing Porsches ever since he got his Carrera GT. So happy for him.
Most porches are honestly terrible.
He used to work for Porsche, I think he's always loved reviewing them :)
I’d argue that the 992 GT3 cup car is the ultimate car for the track but it’s not street legal. Kind of hard to get one but you can import one after the end of each racing season if you aren’t already connected to the Porsche Racing Team.
And if you are racing in NASA or other local series, this RS won’t be competitive with the cup cars, even the 991’s. This RS is a lot of fun for HPDE (drivers education) days though.
Once you start inviting racecars, you can say a lot of things are the ultimate track cars - 911 RSR? Mx5 Cup Car? I'd honestly argue the GT4 RS Clubsport is a better track car than the GT3 Cup, and I've seen it at multiple NASA events.
Also - there are several sources that claim this GT3 RS will lap faster than the GT3 Cup, but Porsche will never admit it themselves.
Very interesting color scheme. Haven’t seen one this cool since the blue & red color scheme on the 997 GT3RS
