Absolutely the best GT3 video bar none! Done and Done!!! The whole composition from mind bending sound to perfectly sync'd cut aways. Wow... Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
Great job Matt and co. The sound! Going out with Harry in this, was a highlight of 2020 for my eldest! Cost me a few £s though - bought the manual variant😂!
The 991.2 lump is an absolute masterpiece. I've never been near one but even through youtube videos you can tell its absolutely ballistic all the way up to 9k.
Great production. Completely agree that the 991.2 GT3 was the sweet spot in the range. Takes a very good driver to show the relatively small difference between this and a RS on track as well.
As you’ve summed up very nicely, the GT3 deserves its reputation… And that sound 😋! The only caveat in my opinion, is you really need to have decent roads (and preferably a nice track!) in your area to truly appreciate this masterpiece.
I can just imagine sitting on one of those hills and hearing that glorious noise down the road... This is an amazing Porsche, the engineering in this car is just on another level. Great video Matt 👍🏻
This Porsche GT3 with the PDK, I couldn't agree more it's flawless. That exhaust system just brings the true rawness of GT3 alive. This version with the 4.0 just brought more poise and performance. An absolute Riot🤟
@@MonsieurGuy You are absolutely right, my mistake. That was the generation which had a lot controversy because there was no manual. Purists weren't happy.
I've always preferred the GT3 over the RS. The RS looks overdone, the GT3's body flows beautifully - and the weight reduction is functional, you can still live with it on a daily basis
Wonderful and spot on video/review! I might then starting to grow old because I’m struggling to grasp why anyone would replace that balanced and wonderful exhaust system. I am fortunate enough to own a gt silver 2018 and after spending 300 km behind the wheel of this masterpiece of a car I am sooo happy and content with the stock system. I tend to prefer the open valve mode most of the time but that’s it, that’s more than enough for me. I have driven 991’s that are louder and it do gets a bit exhausting. But like I said, I might starting to get old 😉
Epic car. As a roadcar I'd go for a standard car with a manual box. Standard seats for comfort and long distance touring. And definitely not the Clubsport pack. The ideal would be a Standard Touring model..
I'd have myself a tasty manual version notwithstanding the fact that Double clutch is still marvellous. I'm inclined to think the PDK is only good if you care about lap times and that soft of stuff.
GT3 is the all rounder imo. Just as good on the road as it is on the track. Call it sacrilege, but I feel the RS models are maybe a bit too much for the road. Plus you get the choice of manual or auto with the GT3 (excluding 991.1)
Great car. I've had a 996 & 997 GT3 which were both awesome. I prefer manual to pdk but the pdk is probably the best of its type and Porsche have stuck with a high revving normally aspirated engine unlike their Ferrari and Mclaren competitors.
My dream car has always been the 997 GT3. There really is no need for the RS unless you are chasing lap times or want more attention. And if more power is desired well that’s what the turbo/turbo S are for lol.
I prefer the look and concept of the GT3 over the 3 RS. I would never go on track or be anywhere near one, so the GT3 would be the perfect car for a weekend trip.
That one there with a manual is peak GT3 for me. I know the new one is faster and has the double wishbones up front but I like everything about the 991.2 GT3. A touring would work for me too.
For a driver's car, its almost perfect in all sense of the word... The sound, size, grip, looks, all weather capability etc... (I'm having a 991.2 Turbo S but willing to switch anytime 😊)
Porsche figured out that GT3 owners are looking for the unmatched experience of driving. The 6MT gearbox adds that emotional touch you mention that is lacking. Love my 2018 GT3 6MT.
I have one in blood red Carmine, comfort spec, love it, comfortable race car 😍 I also have a 3RS which is ridiculous really, the GT3 was the one to go but just couldn't part with it. It's now at Porsche East London 🙁 but after watching this video.........😰
997.2… more special, less refined, lower production numbers. A lot harsher than the 991 tho but if you are looking for a visceral weekend toy that feels special the 997.2 will be that car.
To be completely frank here: I think the best GT3 is the 991 with the upgraded Infotainment system so it has carplay. I really like the front end design of the Gen 1 - reminds me of the Carrera GT- I'd only go for the 991.2 if it has the touring package. So basically the 911R
I think if I am going to get a PDK GT3 I’ll probably get a 991.1 the 4.0 is amazing but honestly the 3.8 with 475 is plenty quick as it is. The .1 is by far the better value than the .2 if you are not chasing the manual gearbox or the last 1/10th second lap time
GT3 RS Weissach and GT2 RS? ? I mean in the end it’s still only a package and the ones without the OPF in the UK (which probably are more desirable) are without the W-pack. I don’t think the GT3 is being underestimated in any way too
well not really.. yes GT has less power & a lower RPM limit, a different front rear bumpers & apron, different suspension, a lower price tag.... however the Porsche lie up is kinda expect good & get great, expect fast & get incredibly etc The 'R' is ALL hype, made around false rumours of no more manual gearbox's & how wrong were the ppl making those claims.. as months later "before the 'R' was created the manual optioned carrera 2s or 4/T "which ever was reported to have a manual option.. & yet ppl still hyped the R up making it something it really isn't. I'd only wish Porsche make less model choices, with further diversity.. as I was about to say "if you look hard enough you'll find a Porsche toilet & well you actually can get a Porsche toilet & even tooth brush" anyway, there's just too many options of ultimately the same car. & I love the porsche models
@@malp6280 hes talkin about a gt3 vs gt3rs and not the r however the r is still special with the 991.1 gt3rs engine and a manual gearbox + the magnesium roof, 100kg less weight than a gt3 touring, rear side windows and rear window are acryl and not glass, carbon bonnet and fenders, lighter flywheel, so its actually a big difference.... just drive them back to back and you will see why its special ;)

No, I think you guys got it all wrong. The main difference between them is that the GT3 RSR is considered mid-engine and not rear engine like the GT3 Cup, R, and RS.
How would you spec your perfect 911 GT3? 👇
With a "4" at the end. :P
Black Olive Green and Gold wheels with a manual
With an engine that doesn't:
1) Throw a rod
2) Wear out cam followers
Gonna at least avoid PCCB next time around, and get deviated stitching
without the wing aka “touring”
I personally think this is the best variant of the GT3 for road to date
If it’s a Porsche with “GT...” in the name, it’s pretty awesome
True 🙏
I got a Macan GTS and agree exactly what you mean.
@@lordmaster5522 🤦♂️
Correction: If it’s a Porsche 911 with “GT...” in the name, it’s pretty awesome
The 911 Targa GTS is pretty awesome even though it’s heavier than the Carrera 4 GTS cabriolet.
Good god. The production. The sound. 😳
Thank you Zaid 🙌
Absolutely the best GT3 video bar none! Done and Done!!! The whole composition from mind bending sound to perfectly sync'd cut aways. Wow... Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Naturally aspirated forever 💪💪♥️♥️
You’ll like a new series of videos we have incoming then
@@supercar.driver oh yes I’m so excited
..yes, plus a 6-Speed manual. PDK is granny shifting
Love NA engines but 2jz ,rb26 ,rs 5 cylinder and jaguar aj113 hold my turbo
Great job Matt and co. The sound! Going out with Harry in this, was a highlight of 2020 for my eldest! Cost me a few £s though - bought the manual variant😂!
Haha love it! Congrats
Best 911 ive ever owned, stunning. Brilliant fun, great sound, right size and ride for the road and the 9000 rpm, wowser
Thanks for watching 🙏
That sound 🔊😁
Never gets old...
Epic isn’t it!!!
🤤🤤
The 991.2 lump is an absolute masterpiece. I've never been near one but even through youtube videos you can tell its absolutely ballistic all the way up to 9k.
Hope you can witness one one day. This one with the JCR Exhaust system is a SCREAMER!
Great video! But what exact JCR exhaust is on the car?
The 991.2 GT3 will go down as one of the best cars of all time.
Just wonderful. Epic noise, and the drone shots were superb. 💙👌
Great production. Completely agree that the 991.2 GT3 was the sweet spot in the range. Takes a very good driver to show the relatively small difference between this and a RS on track as well.
Thanks Chris! Says a man who knows
Stunning! Just absolutely epic. The noise! Oh yes. And beautifully shot. A quite superb video. Short ... but less is more.
Thanks Mark! Very kind

The GT3 that was PDK only was the 3.8 - 991.1, this is obviously the 991.2 with the 4.0 engine, came with manual and PDK on launch
@@MonsieurGuy You are absolutely right, my mistake. That was the generation which had a lot controversy because there was no manual. Purists weren't happy.
Amazing content covering this lovely GT3 Porsche. Only thing I missed was a manual. High revvs forever!!
9k rpm for days 🔥
Q: "what's that car?"
R: "it's red"
The kind of ppl who underestimate the Porsche 911 GT3
Super nice car no question but.. those shots and sound design.. thanks man!!
Glad you like them!
Fabulous video and what a car! something special about high reving na engines!
Really great job driving! Keeping those revs high, it sounds amazing!
It makes you Rev it out when it sounds that good!!
Love the sound of this beauty. Thanks for sharing this remarkable video
Pleasure! Thanks for watching

Life is never the same again for a car buff once you drive a GT3 or RS in anger - all else is "meh, it's ok" - anticlimax.

Awesome review, spot on! I just got one in Miami blue and driving it is theatrical 🔥
I'd have myself a tasty manual version notwithstanding the fact that Double clutch is still marvellous. I'm inclined to think the PDK is only good if you care about lap times and that soft of stuff.
Fantastic job, the perfect soundtrack too.
Thanks Scott
Amazing car indeed, I love how you mention amg gtr however cause it’s as mind blowing in its own character and around corners/feel and engine as well
GT3 is the all rounder imo. Just as good on the road as it is on the track. Call it sacrilege, but I feel the RS models are maybe a bit too much for the road. Plus you get the choice of manual or auto with the GT3 (excluding 991.1)
Completely know what you mean, this is why you/we shouldn’t underestimate the ‘regular’ GT3 as it really is all the car you ever need
Great car. I've had a 996 & 997 GT3 which were both awesome. I prefer manual to pdk but the pdk is probably the best of its type and Porsche have stuck with a high revving normally aspirated engine unlike their Ferrari and Mclaren competitors.
Well done. Interesting view with the new one coming our way. Get saving.
Where did you film this? Wonderful road and you have really captured what it’s like to drive this brilliant car. Thanks
Thanks! Peak District- our local stomping ground
My dream car has always been the 997 GT3. There really is no need for the RS unless you are chasing lap times or want more attention. And if more power is desired well that’s what the turbo/turbo S are for lol.
Excellent job!
Love my 2018 GT3 MT.
I own one and absolutely love especially in the manual variant 😍
Good choice!
Videos like this mean my '5 car garage' will never contain the same 5 cars for more than a week!
JCR exhaust is epic!!
I prefer the look and concept of the GT3 over the 3 RS. I would never go on track or be anywhere near one, so the GT3 would be the perfect car for a weekend trip.

Nobody in their right mind underestimates this car
Haha 😆
Wow the sound 😍 what camera attachment are you using for the exhaust shots?
Did it twice already. Might wait for a touring version. Pdk for sure as my current 997.
The 991.2 GT3 is a whole lotta FUN!!!!
For a driver's car, its almost perfect in all sense of the word...
The sound, size, grip, looks, all weather capability etc...
(I'm having a 991.2 Turbo S but willing to switch anytime 😊)
Your car also an epic production porsche ever made. I love those gt3 and turbo s!
@@filiuspatris2079 indeed...though muted in terms of music, when comes to acceleration, its almost silly scary...
It is perfection, best of the best
That sounds epic as you rev it out.
nothing like it!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Porsche figured out that GT3 owners are looking for the unmatched experience of driving. The 6MT gearbox adds that emotional touch you mention that is lacking. Love my 2018 GT3 6MT.

Having seen both your cars on previous SCD trips we love you’ve used them both as intended! Quick, go get it back ASAP 😂
@@supercar.driver 😄
Yeah, I knew that the 911 GT3 is epic before I watched your video and New 911 GT3 is also epic.
Driving a gen 2 996 GT3. Such a great, manuel car 🙌
Hero 👏
Thanks SCD... this is the next car on the list for my garage!
You really must! You won’t regret it
Great writing!
Well done
Hi where was this filmed looks familiar
Lovely spec
So given similar funds 997.2 GT3 or 991.1 GT3?
997.2… more special, less refined, lower production numbers. A lot harsher than the 991 tho but if you are looking for a visceral weekend toy that feels special the 997.2 will be that car.
It looks and sounds fantastic 👌 That was a good run ✌️
Absolute dream car. What an engine
Epic engine! Screamer
i loved ur video I'm the 2nd person to watch it and wondering how do you have 4 thumps up with 2 views lol
Guess cos people can give thumbs up before finishing watching 🙏
Has to be a GT3 for me, of any gen, they're just so well poised
You have fine taste 🙏
This is as good as it gets:)
To be completely frank here: I think the best GT3 is the 991 with the upgraded Infotainment system so it has carplay.
I really like the front end design of the Gen 1 - reminds me of the Carrera GT-
I'd only go for the 991.2 if it has the touring package. So basically the 911R
Great spec, it’s a keeper.
Great video!
Thank you 🙌
I never would 🥰🥰😍😍 my absolute dream.
Ours too after this day!
I think if I am going to get a PDK GT3 I’ll probably get a 991.1 the 4.0 is amazing but honestly the 3.8 with 475 is plenty quick as it is. The .1 is by far the better value than the .2 if you are not chasing the manual gearbox or the last 1/10th second lap time
If I was buying one I’d go a bit further and get the touring. I do prefer the shape and size of a 997 though
We love the 997 ❤️
If this isn’t perfection, then the GT3 Touring is.
Amazing car!!! I have one nad I Love it. Cheers
Porsche engineering they never disappoint us petrol heads every time I get the roof down in my 986 Boxster S it always puts a smile on my face
Great video .
Thanks for watching 🔥
You could hear that miles away.
I'd suggest everyone not to watch this video very late at night in the dark...
I love mine! I daily it.
That’s like going to a Saturday night rave, every night of the week…
Roads to experience
I need one
Shall we go halves?
Supercar Driver, what would you pick and why.
This, AMG - GT R or R8 v10+ ?
Thanks :)
If you upshift whilst hitting the rev-limiter, you will get a nice thump!
Good to know 🙏
Nobody underestimated it though...
You say that but it’s easy to with the likes of the RS cars
@@supercar.driver it’s a flagship car of a flagship company that costs 160k+ with 500+ hp. Who underestimated it? Jeff bezos? Come on now...
That gt3 would make a ordinary driver look good.
what, no manual ?
If the base GT3, it HAS to be a manual, the whole and only reason to go GT3 over the GT3 RS.
🙌
GT3 RS Weissach and GT2 RS? ? I mean in the end it’s still only a package and the ones without the OPF in the UK (which probably are more desirable) are without the W-pack. I don’t think the GT3 is being underestimated in any way too
Thanks for sharing your perspective 🙏
I think does anyone else also almost only listen to heavy music they love like for me Delta Parole when they drive?
It’s a pdk though. Should of got the Manual.
Nice to have the choice isn’t it
So this or an AMG GTR?
THIS 💯
Both!
😜😍
Who would underestimate a GT3?
Only Ferrari owners 😂
We’re guilty of it and those that gravitate to the RS products could be too
Or any McLaren, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani, Mercedes-Benz, and Koenigsegg owners.
@@supercar.driver If so, I guess I'd better unsubscribe.
Stunning car and I prefer the GT3 over the RS but no front number plate and a shouty exhaust screams thug spec?
The best. The end.
completed it mate
👍 hm, steering wheel is on the wrong side 😏
Me reading the video title: 🤔Why would anyone underestimate the GT3?
Some do....
It's pretty much an rs without the aero and 20hp less. Rs is just hype it's not night and day compared to this.
well not really..
yes GT has less power & a lower RPM limit, a different front rear bumpers & apron, different suspension, a lower price tag.... however the Porsche lie up is kinda
expect good & get great, expect fast & get incredibly etc
The 'R' is ALL hype, made around false rumours of no more manual gearbox's & how wrong were the ppl making those claims.. as months later "before the 'R' was created the manual optioned carrera 2s or 4/T "which ever was reported to have a manual option.. & yet ppl still hyped the R up making it something it really isn't.
I'd only wish Porsche make less model choices, with further diversity.. as I was about to say "if you look hard enough you'll find a Porsche toilet & well you actually can get a Porsche toilet & even tooth brush" anyway, there's just too many options of ultimately the same car.
& I love the porsche models
@@malp6280 hes talkin about a gt3 vs gt3rs and not the r
however the r is still special with the 991.1 gt3rs engine and a manual gearbox + the magnesium roof, 100kg less weight than a gt3 touring, rear side windows and rear window are acryl and not glass, carbon bonnet and fenders, lighter flywheel, so its actually a big difference....
just drive them back to back and you will see why its special ;)

The R is over hyped.. as its basically a budget RS only with a manual gearbox, & other options removed etc
the issue I'm referring to is the Carrera T is good & rapid, then you jump to the turbo/s & again performance & handling has improved, you then go to the RS & 3RS & its a much harsher ride out the box performance is reduced due to N/A. you then look at the 2RS & its better still... however your still driving fundamentally the same car.
porsche have "what!" 10 different 911 models o offer ontop of the other models (not going there)
ie
Carrera T
Turbo
Turbo S
GT2 RS
then you've what
Carrera
Carrera 2s
Carrera 4
GT3
GT3 RS
yes I missed afew
Targa 4
Targa 4s
the GTS versions
& the speedster
I've probably misses some, anyway there's no real huge leap between the models just like the EV brands, we've got 4 different Taycan's with an estate version due shortly, with probably several versions of that on-top.
for the 911 range its abit OTT
Different bodies too, the GT3 is Carrera wide body, 3RS is Turbo S body
No, I think you guys got it all wrong. The main difference between them is that the GT3 RSR is considered mid-engine and not rear engine like the GT3 Cup, R, and RS.
Just wondering who would underestimate a GT Porsche? Lol.
