The Generation 2 version of the 997 Porsche GT3 RS is considered by many to be the best version of the 911 ever. It is the last 911 RS model to have manual gearbox, it's the last to use the Le Mans derived Mezger racing engine and it's the last to have hydraulic power steering. In this video I see what all the hype is about and decide if it truly is the Ultimate 911!

Hi Mat. Here in France, some TH-camr make advertisements to CarVertical, french site. The only thing missing is a Carwow site. If you ever think about that I'd be very grateful to work with you and your team here.
Keep doing the good work.

I think the whole range of 997.2 is some of the best 911's made! 😍
Is that 997.2 or 997.1?? I totally mixed up btween them??
agree !

0:31 "The gen 1 version of the 997 GT3 RS " I'm slightly confused because it is a 991 that's shown on the screen.
Yup, someone cocked up the pictures.
Oh good, it wasn't just me then 😂
Indeed. i was like wtf
Bruh i thought i was tripping mega balls
Lmao, I was about to say
EVO magazine started in 1998. In 2010, EVO named the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 their car of the year.
EVO magazine had a special edition in October, 2014 for their 200th issue. They picked 20 cars over their 16 years of publication to represent the best of what EVO stands for, including CGT, GT2, LFA… Numerous journalist spent days, driving many miles in these cars…. In the end they picked the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 as THE car, the best among the best of the prior 16 years.
Chris Harris is a motorsports journalist and an incredible driver. In a recent video named “The future of the Porsche 911”, the hosts asks Chris if he could only pick ONE 911 to have/drive, only one, what would it be? His response, the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8.
This machine is legendary and will go down as one of the greatest analog driving experiences ever.
So fortunate to own one and a 997.2 GT3.
nothing further to say but to agree, it is epic. if you own one, never sell it!
A lot of hype behind the 997.2 GT3, and it’s completely justified. If you enjoy driving, and want to feel connected to the machine there is no substitute for a 997 GT3. It’s phenomenal.
hi, i have a question. how does the gt3rs and gt3 997 generation differ from each other? numbers aside, talking about the experience and how it handles, how it feels etc. really curious
Best car in my garage. Maybe
Pls list your garage content here...
Cgt, 997 gt3 rs, sls, f12, carrera t (didn't remember if Tom still had it),murcielago, polestar?, lister stealth, turbo s and I lost count others 🤣
@@danielhaqim6729 Carrera GT is easy best from that list.
Nice beetle
@@MatWatsonCars A mountainbike, kid‘s balance bike, a lawnmower, approx 7 crates of stuff I thought I could use someday….
The RS 4.0 will always be THE 911 to have.
718 Cayman GT4 RS... The last warrior, the best warrior.
Mat! Any update from your Jimmy?? 💥🔥
Ya it's die in crash
@@khanrashid746 NOOOOOOO
His buddy Jimmy or his car Jimny?
997.2 is peak Porsche and peak sports car 🔥
I prefer the looks of the 997.1, especially the non-RS version with that weird wing... 😍 The 997.2 had better sounding engines in the whole lineup (very noticeable in the Turbo).

997.1 GT3 🥺
997.2>997.1 in handling and engine for the GT3 RS.
are u talking about the gt3? For the rest of the 997.1 I would never go for them. Always the second generation. Was some problems with the 1 gen. Best regards from a life long 911-fan and owner.
Really? In the turbo even in a old turbo without restrictions sound worse I don’t think so if you put a good exhaust no
This isn’t just my favourite Porsche of all time it’s my favourite car of all time 😍😍
But I like the gt2 much more 🤣

Me to. There's something about the way the Porsche looks that just really draws my eye to it. If I hit the lottery this Porsche and the Nissan GTR- 34 are the first 2 purchases I would make.
@@alunesh12345 I'm buddhis bro🤣
@@bigred9991 wow
My dad got this fr me yesterday, fun to drive. I personally went for the white color. Bought it from target hotwheels section. Worth buying
I have the green AND orange 997.1 GT3 RS -- got them pretty cheap.
Plot twist!
God damn, I had a day in one of these, slinging it around the back roads, hearing the engine hit redline before stomping on the heavy clutch and finessing the gear one ratio higher is a memory I will NEVER forget. Need to get one of these onto my channel ASAP. Great video!
sick ima subscribe for that vid

This is why I've kept my 997.2 c2s for 10 years ☺️
The 991 GT3 RS had a 4.0 liter not a 3,6. The regular GT3 of the 991.1 had a 3,8. The last 3,6 was the 997.1 GT3/RS
The period when I really dreamed of cars... The ultimate decade.
Megane r26r, focus rs mk2, golf r32, 997 gt3 rs and gt2 rs, f430 scuderia, Nissan gtr, m3 e92 ....
Design was crisp, feeling was still there, many different layouts, proper personality between each brand...
Now do a review against the 997.1 GT3 and see which you prefer and if the extra money is worth the investment in a 997.2 RS… it’s a big delta. 👍
To all those who are saying that he showed a 991 while speaking about 997, *all that matters is you get what he is trying to say!!!*
They all look the same anyways.
@@andrewkennedy9704 No they don’t, lol.
i didnt even notice the difference
@@307skylake7 They kinda do tho lol
@@skunkmakgakga There're different cues to distinguish them, but to most they look the same.
First
I was close too
At 0:32 you showed 991.1, and you were referring to 997.1 gen
Hey g'day Mat! Can you do another fun video with your Fiat? My son loved your London drive in that car and he's wondering if you can do another one when you have some free time. Cheers Mat! 👍
I've played NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 a lot and the 997 is always the one that pops in my mind whenever I think about a GT3 RS.
I didn’t know the 997.1 generation looked identical to the 991.1 ?! Hahah

Mat Watson Cars has better sound production quality than CAR WOW!
WHY!???????
I'd keep 26kg of stereo and A/C
If I had the money to buy this one I would delete the Stereo but keep the AC , no need for an extra stereo when you already have a 3.8 Liter stereo behind you .
Porsche sure know how to engineer a good car; not just fast but also practical. Another nice video by Mat. Thanks!
Just looked up a the GT3 RS 4.0 there’s only two for sale in the states on Autotrader…One doesn’t have a price the other they want $900k! my bad it’s actually $899,999k lol
In the UK, there are also 2 997 RS 4.0 - one (over 16000 miles) under £300k and other (over 9000 miles) under £350k for sale on auto trader.
The two cars in the US, one priced at $899k has only 938 miles and other one with no price has only 195 miles, guessing the price for this one will be around $1M.
If you’re using horsepower could you please use foot pounds? Because, what the fuck is a newton meter? 🤪
The back of this generation is so ugly considering the beautiful rear that followed this design..
Oh what the car! 997 gt3 It’s big dream, It’s coming before anything else.
0:31 ....Somebody literally just Googled GT3 RS gen 1 😂
The most beautiful Porsche I've ever seen 😍!!!
I just want to have more of mats personal channel than carwow because he deserves that! The best car journalism you can get is from mat no doubt!
We buy any car adverts in the middle of your videos feels very wrong lmao
Members of the wanker press should be made to pay for damages they create, or perhaps they could show consideration when reviewing someone else's car....
If mat left carwow I hope he DOSENT as carwow recent content is excellent but I think mat Watson cars would be nipping @ the heels of carwow content
when I'm rich enough I will definitely get a porsche
997 is simply beautiful!

Mat PLEASE review the renault megane rs 265/275, its an excellent car without much reviews on youtube plus its affordable for many people
Definitely my favorite modern porsche
Naaahhh 60 over sticker for the least desirable 911? Yes I know the least desirable is the 996 but, honestly the 997 is worse, and with tons of 991 in the market I can't see this actually selling over sticker
Nice Porsche 911 bro thanks you
Peak Porsche. The RS is almost a pure track car (RIP Sabine), whereas the GT3 is more suitable for road and track. Both are super raw. A world away from the approachable, VW owned 991s and supersized GT 992s. The 997.2 GT cars were the last of the true, great Porsches. As we transition to electric, there's an argument for these being the best ICE sports cars ever. A bargain considering the price of modern kit.
Where is your tesla model s plaid mat?
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩,Asia
No most people say, that the 4.0 version is peak 911. and at 0:31 you showed a 911 gt3 rs 991.1 😂
I love my 996.2 GT3 Clubsport. Lot of fun, much cheaper…
Cheaper for now! Hold on to it.
Hey Mat, can you review the Toyota GR86?
Agree 100% that car is so special! Hope I can own one someday
“Mat after going on a date”
So should I marry her , shortlist her or never meet her again
I'm never selling my 2011 997.2 RS. NEVER!
I hate these in video ads, I pay extra for not having ads in Videos and should not in video one's too. I'm going to post TH-cam about these in a lot of videos now.
I'm confused, he's talking about 997 GT3 RS gen 1, but the picture shows a 991 GT3 RS, what the fuck is this editing.
a 991 instead of a 997.1, beating the interior just for making a point. If this channel was Shmee or supercarblondie i would understand, but what we expect from you is a bit different. Sorry for sounding a bit harsh, but i am tired of "look at me" videos that don't know what they are talking about
porsche is porsche...but the aventador svj is more agressive in the gearbox and his sound...is amazinggggg.....I prefer aventador
Dosent the gt3 make 500bhp and the RS makes less? Im confused.
Is this an older car?
Shows how little Porsche design changes, yes my friend, this is an older car.
@@karstenpedersen7749 hitlers beetle hasn't changed
You know these cars so well,yet you continue to mispronounce their name. Porsche is pronounced Porsher......as if you didn't know.
it is RR3 10th Anniversary RR3 2013 First Race with Porsche 911 gt3 R2 997.2 But how
Why are you showing a 991.1 when talking about the 997.1? Oh Matt 🤦🏼♀️
992 GT3RS and Exspecesially the GT4RS Sound way mo betta
@0:33 that is a 991 not 997
Ding dong
I like the 997 4.0 but the 3.8 is definitely cheaper
… uh duh…
I love this car so much that I used it to complete one racing game in it! Would love to have one in the future!
Driven manual transmission cars all your life? And are you still clumsy when shifting gears !
« Best 911 ever » Si j’avais reçu un euro à chaque fois que j’ai entendu ça…
Hi mat can I ask what did you study in Varsity or college to become an automotive journalist
A 911 ...with no stereo. What an abomination; what a monster, the person who spec'd this.
This is arguably the greatest 911 EVER.
Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. Hell isn't fun. GOD loves you soo much unconditional❤🤗
He probably could have asked Carwow for helpm
great car, but isn't the 4.0 the better version?
Yes, except the 4.0 needs 265/35r19 tyres on 9.5's to have good front and rear tyre grip balance from the 325/30r19 tyres on 12's
@@gen1c8rs88 yes but isn't the 4.0 the more sought after, from a value/collector's perspective? I believe it's the last of the mezker engines
@@johnsabat2173 Yes it is👍
You can replace the carbon fiber cup holder delete. Had mine custom made by db carbon in Germany 🇩🇪 Awesome craftsmanship and fitment. Hey Matt! Great content btw 👍👍
can't see Porsche going aftermarket with their press car though
Where is your suzuki jimny upgrade video?
saving on stereo and other things, but does the new driver need to lose some weight as well? LOL
That's a sound you won't hear in a brand new car anymore. Not even in new Porsches.

FEAR of damaged Lambos? Getting desperate? 😄
Carwow ur one stop …..
Love u matt stay alive motor journalism
Shows a 991.1 when talking about the 997.1.. 😅
Yeah his editor is a real tool!
It’s not a real car unless the gas pedal is a actually connected to something
Yeeeeaaaaay I am the first like in the video of the porsche GT3RS.
Why does it say GT3 and not GT3 RS on the cluster?
Promoting CarVertical ? Carwow might not take it easy
Hi mat can u review a Rolls Royce wraith black badge
I love how you can operate your phone without actually touching the screen🤣🤣🤣😉
are u mad 180grand just get the new one for that price
Driving through bradfield I see Matt!
Too fast ❤️🇧🇷
first time I've heard the term "rev hang" but I understand exactly what it refers to. now another thing to judge cars by haha
Yes but is this car available on Gran Turismo 7?
Huge fan of the channel! But the one in the photo is the 991.1 GT3 with a 3.8 liter (very unreliable engine) not the 997.1.
Nah it’s the RS with the 4.0, slightly lower redline but more reliable
That's the 991.1 3RS and those came with a 4.0L flat 6.
Why can this guy not capture car sounds. At all.
I would not need or want any other vehicle more than this one.
Calls it gen 1 and shows a picture of the 991 generation 🤣 0:31
The first blue car cut in in the beginning is a 991...
The crashed Lamborghini was featured on Salvage Rebuilds TH-cam channel a few weeks back, Beautiful Porsche😍
Love the comments about showing the wrong car while 90% of us can't keep track of every number designation and didn't even notice.
You could make up half the 911 numbering and I prob wouldn't notice
Everytime Mat posts here, I know instantly its a promotional, not really about the car. Which kinda makes this channel less desirable to watch. I salute your hustle though.
