Porsche 911 GT3 RS review: www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
SPOILER
is really big on that 911.
lmao!
+Laurynas S. That's funny :D
+Nik Brudar You seem familliar.
+Laurynas S. airbus called Porsche:
GT Guys we need our wing back.
appelpower1 you're everywhere! Whence do I know you? :P (I sincerely hope I used the word correctly)
philip s oh, hi! Certainly not, still up and going strong!
Would love to see GT4 matchup around a track versus 997 GT3. Auto Express, Steve Sutcliffe, make it happen.
The Cayman deserves the GT3 engine.
Porsche's insecurity with the 911's rep would never allow that to happen. Must ration the awesome
Will happen n 2019
@@freud2695 im still waiting
It basically has it in the new 718. Same bore and stroke, 4L... I know Porsche marketing says it’s not the same as the GT3’s, but it’s more similar than different. They don’t want us to think it’s similar, or GT3 sales would suffer.
Freud and...it didn't happen
I'm guessing Porsche wouldn't let you put the GT4 up against a 'normal' GT3. Outcome would be awkward
+Jamie Wilson The normal GT3 probably still would have been faster.
+ewt415 yes
+Jamie Wilson I also think that comparison would have made more sense...
Yeah, that comparison would have made more sense.
I think the regular Gt3 would have still been faster on this circuit though.
To bring out the potential of the Gt4, the comparison should be done on a tighter track, with more change of directions... Not just long straightaways like Silversone.
A Turbo S would probably be even faster than the Gt3 RS here...
+MarcoPiperr glad someone knows they're Porsches in here. Turbo S is a monster and actually beats the gt3 on many circuits.
l'd rather see GT3 vs GT4. Not the GT3RS as there is no GT4RS for comparison.
It's just a top model from each (top 911 vs top Cayman)
I didn't see a problem with the comparison.
yeah that is true. Im just saying what i would prefer to see here. i respect your opinion though.
+Jason Ortiz you're lacking common sense
The best comparison would be a 997.2 GT3 vs GT4. They're similar in price point and both come in a manual. Comparing a PDK vs Manual is a complete fail.
+Nicky_Projectz I'm not even going to converse with you lol
did anyone else think it was weird how much you can hear steve breathing, sounded like he was erm enjoying himself a lot
Yeah that's what I was thinking is he having a heart attack? Stay off the pies Steve !!
Yea I was like "you do realize the car is doing all the work. Why are you breathing like you pushed the car down the track?" Lol
+Herbert Diaz pushing a car hard on a race track is a lot more physically demanding that it looks actually.
Yeah he was using lots of upper body to steer, you can't just hold those things loose going this fast. I think he even said they didn't have full power steering.

Two sensational cars from the worlds best sports car maker. Sublime.
Steve Sutcliffe ✔️
Track focused Porsches ✔️
😄✔️
+youngprankster94 it's a Benz. the best or nothing.
+UzzyFuzzyy nobody is worse than those shit tr fanboys.
The time on the gt3 rs is so satisfying
perfectionists, aren't we?
+stillwaiting4Wonder The OCD man inside me came a little when he saw that...
+youngprankster94 Is it a prank? Because the GT3 RS would wipe the floor with the AMG GT
+stillwaiting4Wonder 1 sec slower then La ferrari and in December thats fcuking crazy imgaiine this car at summer like those other 3 were tested at it could match all 3 no noubt.. and thats 900hp vs 500 lol
+Steve Hash A lot of cars are beating the Hyper's. Corvette Z06 even has a better lap time than the 918, cant remember the track.
It should have been gt4 against gt3 Steve not the RS !
as expected. I'd still take the gt4
Same
Me too
GT3 RS for me
I feel like it should have been the GT4 vs GT3 not the RS! That RS is a beast
I've come to the realization that if Steve hosted a show on baking, I'd still watch. He's definitely one of my favorite automobile journalist.
Nah he's average at best! Chris Harris every time! Jethro Bobingdon is also great!!
+William P how can you say "nah" its his opinion not yours.
William P There's something about Steve that I like; maybe it's his delivery... Whatever it is, I always enjoy his reviews. That said, I will agree that Chris is fantastic, and Jethro is also great to watch. With a lineup like that, I see no negatives.
+Kurticus GT He's a great presenter, but one thing bothers me: his voice when doing the narrating. It's a bit... odd.
3.2 seconds is quite a big difference. I think it would have been better to compare them on a track with much more turns and much shorter straights. makes it a lot fair for the GT4
Stu Sutcliffe is just the best, there are none better! I can't get enough of his reviews, keep up the good work brother, rock on.....
If the GT4 had shorter gearing it could be like a whole second faster I bet
+Honey Lam Nah, it'd be slower.
Love this review.
Great review
think it is the greatest track battle I've seen in the channel
Lovely video!! Thank you very much!
Imagine if you add 100hp more to the GT4.
+BLT I imagine a price of double.
Imagine if the gt4 had short gears. It will go from really really good to legendary
+Wilmar Alburquerque that's not true, getting shorter gears doesn't necessarily make it faster.
***** Faster wouldn't make it better anyway. Why bring up speed?
If the car had slightly shorter gears it would be faster!!! It has to pull so much gear which makes the engine work harder. That's why sharkworks puts a shorter final drive in the car.
GREAT VID
Fantastic pieces of kit :)
I still want the Cayman.
And I still want to swap the engine IT DESERVES into it, *and perhaps widen her even*.
perfect comparison thnx
I go for GT4
Wow! Just for reference, the 3 hypercars are all in the 58 seconds range on that track, that's wicked fast.
awesome video
That looked like one of the best days at work ever!!
Love them both!
Both are fantastic but I prefer the GT3 RS, it's a masterpiece. I heard that they will do a GT2 (and eventually a GT2 RS) with the 991.2. Can't wait to see it. Hope that they will use a rivet body kit. It will be a nice tribute to the 993 GT2 :)
What's the difference between the gt3 and gt2?
+dhns555 NA & Turbo
+dhns555 The GT3 is the badass version of the Carrera. It is made for both the street and the racetrack. Those cars have naturally aspirated engines. Moreover, they are rear-wheel drive. The GT2 is the badass version of the four-wheel drive Turbo with a bigger engine which is also made for the street and for the racetrack. The GT2 and the GT2 RS are obvioulsy more powerful than the GT3 and the GT3 RS. The GT2 is rear-wheel drive like the Carrera and the GT3. Now, with the new 991.2, even the Carrera cars are turbocharged but fortunately for the purists, the GT3 and the GT3 RS will always have a naturally aspirated engine.
+tohadokenornottohado really? i havent heard that
mainlymusicman Yeah, I read it on a Porsche magazine. Hope that it will be true. They said that we will have a 991.2 GT2 for 2018.
I love that gt3 rs.
what are you gay ?
+sikedropZz What? How? That doesn't make any sense....
+sikedropZz just failed miserably.
+sikedropZz +youngprankster94
Oh, how amusing it is to see the daily endeavours of a frustrated young troll in its natural habitat: the TH-cam comment section.
+youngprankster94 Not really when i drove the merc it gave no confidence in steering when driving fast. But the GT3RS does give confidence on a track
If the Cayman GT4 had PDK + a tuned 3.8 (instead of detuned 3.8) + Aero, the results would have been embarrassing for 911 fans.
A better comparison is a manual 991.2 GT3
Nice vid. Thanks... I'd take the GT4... you can exploid more of it as a road car daily vs the gt3 rs.
Sorry but 3 sec difference only with 120 bhp down and no pdk makes me want the gt4 even more. I live in the mountains and for the roads i drive the gt4 would be the perfect tool. The gt3 rs is just a track monster !
Bruno Boucher
That’s a short track, 3 seconds is a lot, gap would be greater on a 3 mile track
That GT3 RS lap time tho.
Accurate to at least 4 significant figures.
Dang.
I believe that if the cayman came equipped with pdk it would easily shed a 1 second and that 10th of a milli second. To answer the question is the gt3 rs double the car gt4 it would simple be a no
Exactly! Very insightful & intelligent observation
Lotus Exige S vs Porsche Cayman GT4
I love the channel but didn’t even bother to watch that one! The cars are in a different league altogether! Do it right: Cayman GT4 vs 997 GT3. That would be a great comparision !🙏🏻
Question, what if the Cayman was equipped with the same gear box because we all know it makes the car faster. Interestingly enough, this video was another good one.
Checked out a 2020 GT4 at the local dealer, trade in (owner is upgrading to a 2022 GT3). less than 2K Miles. We went for a spin. Fantastic car. Sadly, ordered without the PCCB and they are asking 5k USD more than the MSRP. Markets are nuts right now. Rumor now (5 years after this was posted) is the GT4 RS which also makes me want to wait just yet... but, no matter what people are hoping, it'll be PDK only and slower/less powerful than the GT3. Count on those two things, sadly.
i heard the gt4 understeers a bit more because of the rear sway bar setup
That helmet is really cool!
Nevermind the cars, I can't believe Steve's laptimes! He'd have put the GT3RS on pole in the CSCC Mag 7's race. Last year's pole at the Silverstone National was 1.00.8. The RS was 8 tenths quicker than a 300+bhp race Caterham?! Is that even possible?!
Awesome.
It would be interesting to see what the GT3 would do against the GT4. I reckon they'd be very, very close.
+ianiva gt3 would win of course , up almost 100 hp...
mainlymusicman It would. I just wonder by how much.
would be nice to see a 991 GTS and maybe the 991.2 S (with all the goodies like rear wheel steering etc) to see how far behind they are...
If you do the aftermarket trick and lower the gear of the GT4 it is unbeatable as the best car to drive
Not to mention changing the engine to the GT3's.
+Stefan Unson The old Mezger would be even better. :)
+Stefan Unson A Cayman GT4 with a screaming NA Flat-6 9000RPM GT3 engine and a proper manual transmission would be every driver's dream. (If you're hearing this Porsche, please make a GT4RS using this formula as a basis).
+engared I love tradition aswell but the new engine is simply better. 30kg better.
CF88DRUM Well the Porsche Racing team still believes in tradition and continues to use the Mezger in their race cars.
I guess tradition is superior?
The Mezger is a true race engine; designed by a genius. Only reason they dropped it was the high cost per unit and emissions. The DFI is a good engine too but its not a mezger, which is a legendary engine.
The Mezger's legend was cemented when a standard road GT3 was driven to the 24 hours of Nurburgring; raced for 24 hours and then driven back to the factory immediately after the race with minimal repairs. Oh and it came 4th in class and 13th overall IIRC. In a field of race cars! I don't think they trust the DFI to do that.
Yeah I'll take that engine any day of the week.
So, which one is more enjoyable to set a laptime in?
The main battle for the gt4 driver will be watching the front struts going through the bonnet
COME ON MID-ENGINED UNDERDOG!!!\
I'm rootin' for the Cayman personally.
(Because Porsche is intentionally trying to keep the Cayman less awesome than the 911. The Cayman's lighter, better suspension geometry, and of course MID-ENGINED. *Give it the GT3's engine and have a go.*)
the performance of the cars have been designed to the price point. in other words, the cayman can be easily faster than the gt3 if Porsche wanted to make it as fast as it can be.
So how much faster would GT4 be with carbon brakes, an aero package as good as the one on GT3 RS and an equally good PDK with proper gearing (and not the tall gearing to make it slow) ?
proper video.
Why am I not surprised at the result
massive drifts
But which one would you want for a Sunday drive on a country road in the UK?
What option on the GT4 changes colors mid corner? :p
could anyone give me the soundtrack towards the end of the video please?
thanks
4:10 "I reckon that the GT3 will be between 3 and 4 seconds quicker.."
6:00 "I think it's just beaten the Cayman's lap time by a lot more than I thought it was going to"
Actual difference 3.02 seconds but no comment in the video on what makes the GT3 feel so much quicker when the actual difference is what was predicted.
Both are still legendary.
Lol pay attention at 6:17; he said EVENTUALLY the GT3 RS posted a 60second time.
nice helmet
Probably the most amazing thing about the GT3 RS is that after pounding on it at the track all day long it actually went up in value.
Do a GT3RS vs Viper ACR 😃please!!!!
when ia the GT4 going to go head to head with Lotus Evora 400?
Question..... What is the camera car?? It seems to accelerate away from the cars.
I really adore the GT3 RS! The 4.0 litre version is even better!
You should compare a GT4 to an older generation GT3 imo…. Second hand they come close to each other price wise.
what's the name of the sound track? thanks
Can you imagine Porsche GT3 RS is roughly only 1 sec slower then LaFerrari around here and the lap time was done in December for god sake those other 3 summer time much warmer condition another time for >POrsche it could probably match La Ferrari and maclaren -spyder WOW thats insane impressive..
This comparison was like comparing a BMX bike to a 10 speed bike......I wonder if you had a fit driver that weighed less, how much faster the times would be?
witch one was more fun to drive? You never said.
Please fix the mic so you don't have to hear a fat man out of breath. Except for this, a great video with awesome cars.
GT3 RS 60 sec lap? WOW...just wow! That's 1 SECOND slower than a LaFerrari and 1.5 seconds slower than a P1.
I would have guessed the difference in lap times should have been bigger...you Auto Express people think on a tight track the difference would be minimal...? it can be interesting to see the same test with a regular 991 GT3...
I bet the GT3 RS is more likely going to be a dust collector at a parking lot because the owner couldn't pay it on time in Dubai in a few years.
Oh how l wish there was a PDK option for the GT4!
As well as a proper manual for the GT3RS
you really cant drive this car manual
Great video but we really need to see the gt4 with the 911s 385hp motor against a 997.2 911S or regular gt3 997 don't we? Apples to apples.
The rear wheel on the GT3 looks like a steamroller :)
this comparison would have been better suited had it been with a GT3, not an RS.
will someone do the gt3rs against the damn z06 already????
New shirt Steve?
WOW ..wow wow wow
Put the same engine gearbox and brakes in the Cayman and it would be the faster car the way it is designed makes it the quicker car. Unfortunately Porsche won't do that because the 911 is it's best selling product.
its not that ez
the GT4 is 5 seconds off the P1.
It's pretty impressive, actually.
I'd rather have seen a GT4 vs a bog standard 911 - and show us just how capable one is against the other.
I really need a 1080p picture of 0:32. No really. I need it.
The GT3 is a straight out race car how can you compare the two?
Video quality didn't live up to the cars.
Too bad the producers didn't mic the exhaust for the laps and fade that in instead of going with the helmet mic for the entire thing. Also the shots were cuts from several different laps. So don't be fooled, they started with an amount of time and then filled it with footage and just plopped the helmet audio on top. If you are setting hot laps then I would avoid using chase car shots and drone shots. All of the multi-cam should be done from the car or else it has a movie chase scene feel. Just my opinion.
if I had $205,000 I would get a stock orange 911 gt3 RS with lite blue neons and stance kit with a front window bage that says Porsche and finder flares
For real world driving thrills on public roads without gong to jail, the GT4 seem like the perfect car. The GT3 RS is the ultimate track car though.
I could hear him breathe the whole time😂
oh boy...maybe Porsche has considered that for consumers the Cayman could make the better track car with more power/AT/electronic PS while the 911 could make the better canyon carving weekend warrior with a MT/hydraulic PS like people always wanted....
i like the humble gt4 with the manual gearbox!
Not a fair comparison. What if the GT4 is equipped with PDK???
wow 3 seconds faster..monster
i'd say an RS version is a whole nother category. gt3 vs gt4 .
I would have liked it more if they used the normal GT3 instead of the RS. It seems more relevant...
WHEN CIVIC TYPE-R TURBO FK2 TEST????
was this the whole silverstone track cause F1 cars do it around 1:37.00..???
