I hereby nominate this footage to go in a time capsule and be the official footage for future generations to see how incredible internal combustion engines were once everything is hybrid or electric in the future.
I was fortunate enough to see the 2017 and 2018 cares at Lime Rock and Watkins Glen. One of the best sounding GT cars ever. They were also louder than even the mighty Corvette, with its V8. Amazing machines. Excellent presentations as always Bozzy!
I remember hearing it from my house at the 24h of Le Mans in 2017 (I live in Le Mans), at the beginning I thought that the 458 GTE was still there, but when I went to the track, I just saw these beasts and realized this amazing sound was from them
Early 2017 & early RSR-19 are HUGELY underrated. Deep, bassy, and more akin to the 996 RSR. That's a sound with some meat on its bones. The manic screaming was and remains hilarious, but the baritone notes have _flavor._
Man for me all the version are awesome the sound of the 2017-2019 are just incredible and so does early 2017 and rsr-19 they all are unique and his just so incredible to listen
Thank u for this video bozzy I enjoyed it as always I really started to miss this car this week feels good to see you upload this video the Porsche really evolved over the years in terms of sound and body sadly enough it the last year of this car I will really miss it when The GT3S take over next year
So glad they ended up having issues with the exhaust at the beginning of the run and had to take the mufflers off. The mid 2017 spec is the best sounding modern race car.
Think Pink Pig and Rothmans #1 and #2 podium finishes for GTE Pro at LeMans in 2018, the 2017 - 2019 RSR is the way that car was meant to sound and how I will always remember that car. That version has cemented itself as arguably the most unique and badass sounding race car ever produced of all time. 2021 was a close second, same tone but a bit quieter and slightly more tamed. The "buzzing bee's" of 2017 and CERTAINLY 2019 - 2020 will definitely not be missed by me at least. I get what they were trying to do (replicate the sound of the 996 RSR and older), but the "screaming banshee" is what won the hearts of Porsche fans worldwide including myself.
Another one of your great footages combined with detailed technicall information! I love it! Only way to top this footage would be a binaural recording!
The best part is it looks the tamest of all the GT cars yet is sounds a million times better than any other. Thats my go to car in ACC, and I'm a ferrari fan.
Porsche is just operating on a different manner. It's as if they listened to the fanbase. Not to say the original 2017-spec RSR and early RSR-19 doesn't sound great. Those bassy growl has a little bit of old-school air-cooled menace to it. But mid-2017-2019 RSRs are Godsend.
@@Ivvvnnn the side exhaust one is noisier because of all the bass it has, the RSR19 with the central exhaust is actually quite a lot more silent than the 2018 one and its missing a lot of the rawness as well
Might just be me here, but I've always been more partial to the sound of the original 911 RSR-17 configuration and Original RSR-19. Sure they don't scream, but frankly they didn't need to. Much like the 996 GT3 RSR from the early 2000s (as well as the Porsche 911 GT1 and the 934 Turbo RSR, two of my favorite Racing Porsches), they have that signature Deep baritone sound that was how I identified a 911 at Le Mans or at Sebring on sound alone. To my ears, that deep bassy tone is what defines Porsche flat-6 in motorsports the best.
If I was Bill Gates I'd stop funding vaccines and spend all my money buying, preserving and running those 17-19 variants as a service to motorsport fans. I think that is the best sounding car I will ever see in person.
IMSA and WEC let Porsche RSR have more gear options after the Ford GT and Ferrari? Iracing has its RSR and you can change the gear(s), a plethora full. RF2 and other sims the RSR you can’t change?
Being there live at Le Mans I only can tell, taht your ears will literally bleed after a full 24 hour audience. Only the Panoz cars and the Mazda 787B comr close.
2019-2020 sounds pretty bad on throttle, but off throttle downshifts aren't bad actually, obivously the 2017-2019 rsr is the best sounding 6 cylinder engine of all time
The RSR is a great sounding car for sure, but nothing beats the sound of the late Goerg Plasa’s BMW 314 Judd….sounds like a McLaren Formula One Car from 2000. Another single exhaust screamer.
Porsche is also focusing on the hyper car class. The 992 GT3R has taken a lot of technology from the 991 RSR, we just need to wait till we get an unsilenced "look" at it to see how it sounds. 😄👍
Because side exhaust setup vs rear exhaust setup. Side exhaust dissipates sound energy in separate way (split left & right). Rear exhaust dissipates in just one direction (behind the car only)
Well, the classic Porsche flat six sound LIKE that (after 2017). I would never deny that 2017-2019 spec is the best racing exhaust orchestra, pure racing sound. But, if you say, after 2017, it don't sound like flat six, sorry I would disagree. Consider listen to classic Porsche flat six engine, or early 2000s 911 GT3 RSR, & you will understand my point.
2017-2019 might be the best sounding racecar of all time
Not this one?

@@anttij2973 oh my… I have to be honest that thing sounds like a monster. Extremely raw and aggressive!
Mazda 787b close second
Top 10 for sure, but she’s no 412 T1.
@@ChanceLaChapelle Yep, it sounds pretty good for a 1.5 litre, ancient engine.
I was at Le Mans in 2018 and those things through the night were awesome to hear
I was at Le Mans 2018 too and those RSR's sounds were so loud they pressed my brain through my skull😅
@@Ivvvnnn brilliant stuff the Corvette's were nice aswell
@@sultan30arl and gorgeous old Aston Martin V8 too! I also liked Ford's V6.
I hereby nominate this footage to go in a time capsule and be the official footage for future generations to see how incredible internal combustion engines were once everything is hybrid or electric in the future.
2018 sound still in my heart❤️
991 RSR 2018 one of the best sounding racecar of all time, bless my ears. 🔥
I always add the RSR videos to my music playlist.
2021 sound so mature,but the 17-19 is god damn raw sound,its scary
I was fortunate enough to see the 2017 and 2018 cares at Lime Rock and Watkins Glen. One of the best sounding GT cars ever. They were also louder than even the mighty Corvette, with its V8. Amazing machines. Excellent presentations as always Bozzy!
imsa as great with the screaming porsche's and the roaring corvette's
The absolute dB king that is the 2018 911 RSR
Never Forget *the SYMPHONY*
Easily my favourite race car ever made. The 2017-19 sound I think might be the best sound of a race car ever
2017 - 2019 is breathtaking. Not that sick like the 787b, but one of the greatest sounds that ever touched this planet
13:35 this is art
I could watch this for hours
I remember hearing it from my house at the 24h of Le Mans in 2017 (I live in Le Mans), at the beginning I thought that the 458 GTE was still there, but when I went to the track, I just saw these beasts and realized this amazing sound was from them
Hey dude, I've been watching your videos for a long time. Just wanted to say thank you for the top notch car content.
Early 2017 & early RSR-19 are HUGELY underrated. Deep, bassy, and more akin to the 996 RSR. That's a sound with some meat on its bones. The manic screaming was and remains hilarious, but the baritone notes have _flavor._
i agree with you on the early 17 but the early 19 side pipes dont do it for me however i do think it sounds almost like the 2017 ford GT GTE
The early RSR-19 was also extremely loud in person. As loud as the 2018 screamer. Completely drowned out the cars next to it.
The early 2017 RSRs sound almost like they have unequal length headers on their engines.
Man for me all the version are awesome the sound of the 2017-2019 are just incredible and so does early 2017 and rsr-19 they all are unique and his just so incredible to listen
but you can't deny it sounds sluggish compare to mid 2017-2019
Completely in love with all of these cars. What a shame to see the RSR go after this year in WEC.
Huge thank you for you videos!
What a privilege it must have been to drive these cars. Surely the pinnacle of motor racing.
History will remember this as being among the best-sounding racecars to ever exist, period
nah we still have F1 V10s and V12s ;-)
I said among, that doesn't rule it out.
@@the_razr f1 aren’t in
Best engine sound ever
The face at 7:20 says it all
Hah, I noticed that too.
Thank u for this video bozzy I enjoyed it as always I really started to miss this car this week feels good to see you upload this video the Porsche really evolved over the years in terms of sound and body sadly enough it the last year of this car I will really miss it when The GT3S take over next year
Thanks for putting these all in one. The best symphony ever created.
Mid 2017 - 2019 sounds the best.
I love this car. In all its variants. Thank you Bozzy for this beautiful tribute.
So glad they ended up having issues with the exhaust at the beginning of the run and had to take the mufflers off. The mid 2017 spec is the best sounding modern race car.
I feel blessed to hear the 2018/19 in person. What a treat…
I went to Le Mans in 2017 and 2022... I wanted to see the last running of GTE Pro but man they are so much quieter
this video is pure heaven .. relaxation for the soul 😍
7:19 the man turning around got me haha
Wat an amazing video again. And such a car too. That's also THE car for me.

encore une excellente vidéo...merci Bozzy !👌👌👌👌
Unpopular opinion but I actually love the 2020 side pipes sound maybe just as much as the others, extremely different sounds but both amazing imo
It reminds me slightly of how brutal the Ford GTs were
the best grid isnt a grid full of na screamers nor buzzing turbos
it's when all those flavors of sound come together
Yeah I personally thought the angry bumble bees were cool. The race I went to you could literally feel the exhaust noise in your chest.
I watched this video with headphones and I got goosebumps, but to be there to smell that rubber, I'm envious:))
All sound goood, but for me 19 specs. More raspy and classic👍🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👌🏻. Good video👌🏻
Totally agree dude. It’s meditative therapy 👍
This is car enthusiast ASMR right here, God damn!
The best part is it looks the tamest of all the GT cars yet is sounds a million times better than any other. Thats my go to car in ACC, and I'm a ferrari fan.
Respect man from a Porsche fanboy 👍
The 2018-19 version was easily the best sounding car on the grid.
6:20 -6:50 awesome
THE Soundmachine! I really miss the 997 RSR Sound .
I love it this sound 😍😍😍
nice footage
2020 Side Exhaust Specs my favourite
Porsche is just operating on a different manner. It's as if they listened to the fanbase.
Not to say the original 2017-spec RSR and early RSR-19 doesn't sound great. Those bassy growl has a little bit of old-school air-cooled menace to it. But mid-2017-2019 RSRs are Godsend.
early 2017 is my favourite i think
4:11 sounded like a dinosaur
the 2019-2020 was short shifting it seems....not in the higher rpm band. The RSR is my favorite car to drive on iracing.
Maniacal!❤
I fucking love cars
They just keep on giving 👍🇦🇺
6:49 the virgin RSR 2019 vs the chad RSR 2018
I heard that 2019 sound is actually louder than 2018 but videos couldn't playback that loudness.
@@Ivvvnnn the side exhaust one is noisier because of all the bass it has, the RSR19 with the central exhaust is actually quite a lot more silent than the 2018 one and its missing a lot of the rawness as well

Always Bozzy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🏁🏁🏁!!
when will this car be listed for sale to the public?
Personally I prefer the earlier spec and the latest spec sounds lol, I wanna hear that flat6 Scream and Wail.
If I was Bill Gates I'd stop funding vaccines and spend all my money buying, preserving and running those 17-19 variants as a service to motorsport fans. I think that is the best sounding car I will ever see in person.
6:17
imagine they release this body on production cars
is this at monza?
Wicked 😊😊😊😊
Vote for mid 17-19 for best sound
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome
ICE 4 LIFE
Pure 👍

0:38 whoever says the LFA sounds better doesn't understand anything
2019-2020 sounds pretty bad on throttle, but off throttle downshifts aren't bad actually, obivously the 2017-2019 rsr is the best sounding 6 cylinder engine of all time
"Bad"... I heard them and trust me its still an amazing sound
Correct
Love them all but the 2017-2019 edges it for me.
The RSR is a great sounding car for sure, but nothing beats the sound of the late Goerg Plasa’s BMW 314 Judd….sounds like a McLaren Formula One Car from 2000. Another single exhaust screamer.

why are they not making a 992 GT3 RSR?
no GTE class anymore🥲
Porsche is also focusing on the hyper car class. The 992 GT3R has taken a lot of technology from the 991 RSR, we just need to wait till we get an unsilenced "look" at it to see how it sounds. 😄👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We probably will never see the 992 RSR due to the FIA removing the GTE class WEC in favor of the GT3 Premium regs in 2024 and beyond.
‘17-‘19 sounds the best by far, ‘19-‘20 the worst, ‘21 gets back to a great sound
Downshifts so muted on the later cars 😭
Because side exhaust setup vs rear exhaust setup. Side exhaust dissipates sound energy in separate way (split left & right). Rear exhaust dissipates in just one direction (behind the car only)
@@pmbunmahafajarastanaprima5009 ahhh you learn something everyday, thanks for that. 👍
I promise you in real life it was far from muted
Porsche is my favorite manufacturer
If you could have any supercar and I mean supercar only, what would it be
Yep. 2018 has the prize 🎉
6:18 holy shit. 😎
The best sound remains with the side exhaust like a hornet buzz.
The 17-19 sounds a bit like an electric guitar with distortion making rock music. It has a character the others just can't match.
Would rather take one mid 17-19 spec than 5 21 specs
Beautiful sound, but there are more car that sound better
One fully aspired and the another one is turbocharged, right ?
All are N/A 4.2L flat-six's. 👊😁👍
the 19 car was even more deafening than the open pipes one, sounded exactly like the Ford GT
BAAAAAH BAAAAAAH :D
I was at Daytona working a corner when it first went on track in NA. Painfully loud.
The 2017-2019 model was created by god himself. 😍
For worst. Unfortunately. 😞
They changed the stroke, ilhas more torque, better race car but got to love that high reving 2019.
991.2 is probably the best one out of the 4
They are all 991.2
@@speedbeer2507 whoops I wanted to say the 2018 rsr
Yeah let's get rid of this. Bring the batteries.
Yep sure. That’s what we’re all waiting for! WTF !!! 😂😂
After 2017 it don’t sound like flat 6 anymore.
Well, the classic Porsche flat six sound LIKE that (after 2017).
I would never deny that 2017-2019 spec is the best racing exhaust orchestra, pure racing sound.
But, if you say, after 2017, it don't sound like flat six, sorry I would disagree.

Whoever gets this up to 992 likes wins
i want to be a racist too
That sounds like Sh*t …
From good to bad like every other modern cars…😅
17-19 🤌❤️ pra sempre
2017 was the Best. I was WEC Nürburgring . Live is Awesom.
