This is definitely the loudest GT Car ever made, it's as loud as the V10 Judd, that's really impressive.

[@MSDModelismo]

Best car sound ever !!!

[@Inazuma68]

No wonder I bought the streetversion gen.2 after a test drive. You love the engine sound as soon as you nail the throttle. That engine is out of this world.

So good to get such a great video of this car!

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

Aadjan van Holst thanks.

3:35 omg the old intro!!!!

[@kiryu-chan1590]

I remember that one intro

[@Obinjess]

I remember watching this car race when it was brand new. It's nice to see it's still getting exercise.

[@MiniOne82]

Headphones are awesome with this video.

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

What a great noise and classic livery and love that its manual

[@comiteolympiquedemocratique]

It's a sequential gearbox. Earlier sequential had a clutch pedal, clutching was needed to launch the car or to down-shift! :)

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

It sounds like a manual on every upshift and I have seen plenty of manual 996 RSRs.

[@comiteolympiquedemocratique]

If it's the original Peterson/Dale White Lightning car, it was the first 996 GT3RS to race Le Mans with a sequential gearbox in 2003.

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

Well I won't argue with that lol

[@comiteolympiquedemocratique]

I think it sounds like a manual because as they need to clutch while down-shifting, the downshifting is quite slow, like a manual, but the gearlever fixation looks like a sequetial. :) I can mistake but I'm pretty sure about the sequential gearbox :D

[@kikiautorcman787B]

Enfin une vraie 996 GT3 RS avec de vrais échappements comme aux 24 heures à l'époque... 🏁🔈🔉🔊... ❗Et une vraie boite de bonhomme (manuelle...) 💪👍😉❗

[@gtrmaxvdb99]

This sound !

[@smacdiesel]

Is this car for sale?

[@LeMansVidz]

Nice vid !! But is that car from 2002 ? I definitely saw it at the 24 hours of le Mans 2005 ;)

[@comiteolympiquedemocratique]

It was a 996 GT3 RSR in 2005, not a RS! :D This car was used at Le Mans in 2003.

[@LeMansVidz]

Etienne Decosse Ahh ok ! My bad, didn't know that difference ;)

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

That's what it said on the entrylist.

[@comiteolympiquedemocratique]

At Le Mans, Porsche 996 raced with the following versions: GT3, GT3 R, GT3 RS and GT3 RSR, and the three first are really close (most of modifications are internals like the exhaust manifold, the possibility to fit a sequential gearbox in the RS, electronic systems and so on), the RSR is easier to recognize, the easiest detail: it uses the second generation front lights! :D

[@LeMansVidz]

Etienne Decosse I'm definitely learning something today ! Thanks :)
