I’m thinking of getting this instead of the Huracan STO, but you have to think about: servicing costs and frequency, unusable on the road, less than 15 track days a year where I live, no A/C which is impossible for me since temps go as high as 55C, very hard to sell later, and many other reasons. I’m trying so hard to justify it but it’s difficult.
@@Kmaaq Not so hard to sell - especially if its an HPDE only car. The used market for these is almost 100% ex-race cars, many re-tubbed, and all with race body damage, and race hours, with pending engine and trans rebuild costs at 30, 60 and 100 hours. We tried turning street cars into race cars and you constantly end up chasing things that it wasn't designed for. These Cup cars are endurance racers - keep on top of pads, tires and engine oil, and they just gooooo.
Matt: "I'm gonna do my best to shout down the glorious noise of this racecanoodle! But it's verde loud, so hassenpfeffer gooble morphus...!" 992 Cup Car: "What's that Matt? Anyway, thanks for joining us. Enjoy this Just-the-Noise One Take!"
Yeah Race cars are on another level. Matt I remember when I invited you out to dream racing to make videos on their Huracan Supertrofeo and other super cars. People just can’t comprehend how composed race cars can be at speed
Having the telemetry was super helpful to truly ride onboard with you Matt. It looks like you never had to brake more than 50% in that thing!! Unbelievable!
My favorite video you have ever done. You took turn-1 pretty fast there and only one more testicle away from WOT like the Pro. Shout out to 311RS for their contribution!
Love it. Went to Silverstone for the GP a couple of years back and saw Hamilton win and go crowd surfing. Highlight of the day? The Porsche Supercup race.
The carrera cup races have been great this year. 311rs is due a first place any race now. Im going to catch them live at VIR and road atlanta. If yall enjoyed this, go watch the races on the IMSA youtube channel. What great experience to test a cup car, nice job Matt!
@@311RSMotorsport Will come by. I will be easy to spot. Im the only 992 driver who makes leh keen look small. Lol. Go get em in Wisconsin this weekend!
Having spent a little time driving one of these, it's amazing how smooth and effortlessly fast it is. No where near as intimidating/intense as you would expect.
Loved seeing you driving in the great state of Minnesota. Looks like you were on the longer old layout of the track. Have been enjoying the racing at Brainerd for years. FYI the area around the track are also amazing with many lakes for boating and excellent golf courses
Cool to see so many fellow Minnesotans on here! BIR is also my home track. I was there last Saturday for Proving Grounds in a '19 C7 Z06 that I'm still nervous going much over 100 mph in to turn 1. The older Donnybrooke course Matt drove goes through the drag strip. The newer, about 10yo "Competition Course" is 2.5 mi, 13-14 turns. More technical and doesn't use the drag strip portion.
The short course is so much fun to watch the bikes on. Sitting in the corner stand at turn 13 and watching liter bikes pick the front wheel up while they are still turning is a trip!
Great video. Some of the telemetry was pretty funny. The "track " displayed on the VBOX was apparently not the full course you were driving so it looked like you got real lost around the drag strip. Also the lack of speed info on the telemetry was surprising to me. Despite that, the telemetry was still a great addition. Nice driving and sweet car.
What a astonishing piece of German engineering. No idea this race car ever existed until today, with it being quite a rush just watching it take a corner like it did. Thanks you Matt for the experience.
My 2006 toyota corolla with 3000,000 hit 100 on that curve. Love BIR. Fast drag strip and a fun road course. I see you got to drive the big course. The short course would have been fun to drive with all the tight curves and fast transitions. The 90 turn to go under bridge and back out the long curve is so much fun.
Jesus, this thing is going! I dont see how Matt was even talking.. i would be too busy focusing on not dying lol. That was proper audio.. believe me.. hearing this thing was beautiful! 😍
What a wicked opportunity to drive a Porsche CUP car. Love them in Assetto Corsa Competizione, but that's about as close as I've been able to get to one. Would LOVE to race, or even just drive these irl. Hope you took the time to enjoy every minute of it!! :)
OK Matt, now that you've done the GT3 thing with 500 hp come on down to VIR and I"ll let you drive my Trans AM TA car. No anti-lock, no traction control, no yaw control, and 860 hp. You'll run 180+ into the breaking zone on the front straight. Now we're hav'in us some fun!!!
As the revs build, the pitch of the gearbox and wind noise climb higher and higher, drop as you lift, climb again… My breathing involuntarily syncs to the sounds. And I’m just watching a TH-cam video. Half a lap at five tenths would have me hyperventilating and on the verge of adrenal overload. What a thing!
Even with all the rain at the place, you can tell the track is rubbered in really well, which helps contribute to the high grip. If the track was green or dusty, even this car would be sliding all other the place.
IDK what "slight" changes Porsche will make but pretty sure this is what the 992 GT3RS will look like (from the OUTSIDE, of course! 😂) #gorgeous I'm just interested to see the performance it'll have
Too bad there is no indication of what your speeds were. The RPM's are interesting, but tell us nothing about the speed of the vehicle, as you negotaited this track. You may have to invest is a special microphone, to deal with improving what your saying in such high noise vehicles.
hah i've had a lot of success with this strategy: If you treat their race car with respect, when they get the next race car, you get to try that one too.
@@TheSmokingTire Sounds like a solid strategy to me. Also on that last point you made in the video, why spend over a million on a supposedly track-focused McLaren Senna when you could have this for a fraction of the price and on track it would be superior in every way?
we talked about it afterwards - we think he was probably a little faster. he did a couple hours of sim time, and consequntly had "probably way too much confidence" going into turns 1 and 2. I didn't do any sim time, and so I was driving seat of the pants, which, given the same two sessions, he was probably quicker. if we each got a full day with data dumps, it would be a fun race!
Interesting you said you can get in the throttle early compared to a GT3 car. I’ve driven this in ACC sim and you can usually get in the throttle a lot earlier in GT3, and that’s because of TC in GT3. The 992 cup doesn’t have TC
There is not much that sounds better than a Porsche Race car with straight cut gears. The whine that they have is pretty unique and amazing. No street car, turned track day weapon will ever be able to compete with a full blown race car, especially not one made by Porsche.
Pleasure having you in the car Matt! Awesome to see your take on it! It’s a wonderful machine!
shame you couldn't get the same trim in the interior as on your safari 911('s) lol love it though, good stuff!
This is so much more appealing to me than some $3 million hypercar. I’ll take one of these every 2 years for the next 10 years and go racin’!
How much to you think that P-Car would cost? I’m guessing $750K?
Hell yeah, plus, it is not going be a garage queen

That sound is just not of this world! Holy..... that thing gives me goosebumps. What an experience, glad you showed it to us!
I love how Matt could be confessing to murder at the beginning of the lap and we’d never know.
Oh noes, you skipped that?
Matt: "I'm gonna do my best to shout down the glorious noise of this racecanoodle! But it's verde loud, so hassenpfeffer gooble morphus...!"
992 Cup Car: "What's that Matt? Anyway, thanks for joining us. Enjoy this Just-the-Noise One Take!"
So glad you got to experience the home track and hospitality! Cheers
Yeah Race cars are on another level. Matt I remember when I invited you out to dream racing to make videos on their Huracan Supertrofeo and other super cars.
People just can’t comprehend how composed race cars can be at speed
Thanks for that invite! That was a good day!
The sound of the gearbox and the engine is blowing you away. Really nice to listen to. - Great Video!
At one point of the video i thought that Matt got lost and ended up on a drag strip😂😂😂😂
Having the telemetry was super helpful to truly ride onboard with you Matt. It looks like you never had to brake more than 50% in that thing!! Unbelievable!
Cause hes going slow

That's a serious piece of kit, sounds incredible.
I remember when 311rs started with the Evo X. Pretty cool to see this today.
Sounds way better than the current f1 cars
honestly surprising how Porsche succeed in making each new generation sound better than the already very-good sounding previous gen.
Having spent a little time driving one of these, it's amazing how smooth and effortlessly fast it is. No where near as intimidating/intense as you would expect.
How did you drive one??? I want to drive one soon. I want to experience the raw feeling of these.

Aaaahhh - golf with the sounds and smells of racing in the background. Where is this exactly? Heaven?
@@deldridg Brainerd mn
I turned on captions, and several times the auto generation just said [MUSIC] and I have to agree.
The contrast between the whine of the straight-cut gearbox and the shriek of the cam drive is glorious.

Imagine seeing Matt's GT3 video, buying a GT3 in the quest for ultimate driving experience, just to witness this
What an awesome day you had my dude
Dude, you are really high in status if they allow you to drive their race car. Congratulations 👏
That engine is mechanical art!!!!
Wonderful video. Would love to see you drive other GT3 cars like the two you mentioned.
Oh man. Those gear shifts 🤤🤤🤤
The 911 is too phenomenal!! The only car in existence that consistently gets markedly better with every passing year.
Nice! Thanks for the ride along. I LOVE the sound of straight cut gears.
There's only one place where you can get that. Sweet ride!
What a astonishing piece of German engineering. No idea this race car ever existed until today, with it being quite a rush just watching it take a corner like it did. Thanks you Matt for the experience.
Took your advice and put vredestein's on my gs300. Best tires i have ever bought!

The motor sound at 10:00 is simply amazing
omg the sound.... so incredible!
matt, did you ever consider putting subs for when the voice recording wasnt practical?
Zak I see you need a paint correction. My e36 was worse, yours will really brighten up. Worth every penny.
Love to see the trusty notebook in the race seat there
Great driving Matt!

Congrats to your innovative style Matt, you are re-inventing the wheel many times.....so to speak. Great review :)
Wish I could have been there that day. Gotta love our local BIR.

Wow! What a great presentation. Exhilarating.
Welcome to Minnesota :)
this was a fun video to watch even if if your monologue wasnt in focus
This is awesome, great video Matt 💯💯
What an awesome experience. So happy for you, Matt. And congrats on 1 million subs, I didn't even catch that!
I want a go on that track. That setup is wild!
Please someone give BIR the money to update this wonderful track back to the days of Donnybrooke. The track design is wonderful.

amazing how different this is compared to the "normal" track-day GT3. Before watching the video I had no idea!
The sounds that car makes are absolutely insane! Car porn.
That was 'F up and your dead' fast by Keen
Incredible video Matt
No we can’t here you over 7k 😄 nice race car all the same.
Lee’s turn 1 line to the edge of the track 👌🏻
Hear*
this is my dream!!!! cant wait to see it in assetto corsa competizione since thats the closest im gonna get :D
Very envious, I would love to drive this
Fucking stellar video. What a ride and a pair of lungs.
BIR is my home track!
I love my vredesteins! Got the hypertracs based on your M3 video.
Woooo!! More of this baby 🥳😎
You gotta love a racetrack that uses an NHRA dragstrip as the front straightaway. 😄 Into THAT first right sweeper...
Nice Bremont Hercules, Matt.
Excellent watch. You know a mfr gets it when you see something this cool on wrist.

Adam Lz had a blast as well what cool guys
Off topic, but I'll be using Vredestein snow tires this winter.
Wow, now I know why you drive so fast in the canyons. It sounds like straight cut gears.
put my headphones on for this one, was not disappointed
I envy you. In the top 3 on my bucket list is to drive a fairly modern Porsche GT car on track, preferably Sebring but I'm not picky...
Wish we could see speed on the overlay!

Does it have bluetooth
any idea on maintenance costs to upkeep the car every season?
Sequential cars always sound cool
its the howl of the straight cut gears that really just lets you know what you are in
This man is awesome
Flat out through T1 was worth it! : D
Just got done watching this for a second time going back for a third now 😅
Heaven, this is heaven. If there is an afterlife please let it be this.
