Thats how they market the car . What else they have to say. They are selling same slow car at the price of super car. Fortunately they have stupid fan base accept anything they sell.
Porsche did it right. What a nice update to the Porsche 911 GT3. They just nailed its purpose as a driver's car. That green color on the Touring version is just gorgeous. Andreas Preuninger hats off you for donning it again and seeing Tom doing first look just the best, TopGear team keep up with great work :)
That's how it works in super specialized product domains though. For example audiophile headphones. You can have a Hifiman Arya for £1000 or a slightly better Hifiman Susvara for over £5k.
"I did a thousand miles in one. The interesting thing is that I didn't put the radio or the aircon on, all the way home... because it didn't' have one." This gentleman, Tom Ford, does know how to write, Top Gear style. From time to time he does fires a sentence that could've been said by the old trio. Great work.
Hello there I'm just wondering what is your job that you can afford this car ? I will appreciate it if you answer,, ( I'm 22 and I don't know what to do with my life ?? I just want earn enough money to buy performance cars and a house 😊
They are lucky they have a bunch of sicophants that keep buying the same shit over and over who want the boy racer look but just talk about what spec they ordere
@@G82Watts ohh it's a drivers car and the engineering is great. But the only place 90% of them go is in a flipper garage after they take it to cars and coffee twice
I could listen to AP all day, he’s truly a car person, to be able to still put the 4.0l engine into the GT3 and still meet emissions, just makes for a great future for petrolheads
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed it, haha. That buckle + statements like “I like problems, we all do! We need a little bit of pressure and challenge” certify him as a true engineer, and make him the “Howard Wolowitz” at Porsche, lol.
People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.
Of course this type of cars are not meant for salary earners because salary job is just like modern slavery. You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car
Many people in my country are secret millionaires through investments in stocks they invest and reinvest a lot and the money continues to arrive weekly. When you see them driving big cars you'll be wondering where they're working 😂

@@xRockee Partly because of tradition. Also every bit of practicality helps. Rear seats makes the car more useful, and given it's performance and style, even more unique and special. Also, sure, why not kids!

I really liked the talk with andreas and hearing him talk about the experience of driving the car. What he says about the straight line that it's just a space between the 2 curves, is true. These guys are keeping the car community alive
The GT3 Touring looks fantastic but am I the only one who doesn't like the fact that it's still got the motorized rear wing and would like it to have the classic duck tail spoiler instead? I hope I'm not the only one in here! 💗
@@theporschepilottpp910you never do that. It will be aerodynamically unstable and the rear is balanced with the front. If you hit a gust over 100 mph you’re in trouble especially if it’s 100% cross wind
It's kind of crazy that the folding carbon buckets have finally come back. I remember the 997 GT2RS buckets had them way back then. It makes getting to the back area (and rear window cleaning!) so much nicer.
I would definitely get the touring with PDK, but not anytime soon. I’ve got the feeling that the digital cluster either won’t last long or will get dramatically improved so it doesn’t look as cheap as it currently does. He even admitted he was against getting rid of the analog tachometer. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy my beautiful 2024 Carrera S. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger.
Very good presentation by Andreas - I like how he explains everything. Initially, I wasn't too thrilled about the digital tach, but the new one that can turn the dial so that 9K RPMs is at the 12 o'clock position looks great, IMO.
I'll take a Touring with the lightweight package and a manual please! Been good this year so the keys under the Christmas tree would be a nice present indeed! 😂😊
Love these, but I’m just not warming up to the new tail light design. It seems a little bulky and disproportionate to the rear bumper. It’s so similar to the previous version, but it doesn’t hit the mark.
Does the GT3 Touring have a less stiff suspension than the previous generation and the new GT3? Something similar to the GT4 RS Spyder less stiff suspension compared to the GT4 RS. That would be great!
People kept wanting lower gear ratios and Porsche kept saying they couldn’t do it on previous models but they did it here, and raised the price by $40k. I’m sure customers are very happy.
The new Touring is in noway only %85 of an S/T, thats Porsche marketing for you. More like 97% the same, especially if you spec the lightweight package.
rear seats in the Touring, with that windscreen rake and near-zero headroom, elegantly shown by Tom. actually I wanna see Andreas get in the back seats to see how deeply uncomfortable that looks.
Hello dear top gear team i have a question i hope the answer might comes soon but since the new gt3 and gt3 rs are out dose porsche make a gt2 because it sounds like the gt3 rs is the replacement of the gt2
Which version would you choose?

The Touring, but with a ducktail spoiler, would be perfect
Something about these cars, man I'll never get tired of it.
Touring!! It's just stunning!!
"No electric GT for the next 5 years" - the best words you can hear from this video.
Mine's the Tourning, thank you very much. Another outstanding piece of motoring journalism.
As per Porsche tradition I can't even tell that they have a new car in front of us without someone telling me that it's new
After the monstrosity that was the boxy brick like Ferrari F80 yesterday, the sight of these beautiful looking Porsches calms my eyes.
Are you serious? Ferrari F80 isnt that boxy and it looks great. Such Picky people hating for no reason.

I Love the Touring ❣️👌🏼😅
He really put it perspective when talking about the PDK V Manual. O.4 secs is decent sized gap on the track (depending on the track of course) .
I'll take a Touring with the lightweight package and a manual please! Been good this year so the keys under the Christmas tree would be a nice present indeed! 😂😊
Already!!! Wow that feels like it came around really quickly

Thanx Porsche for not changing the design and engine of the car ❤😊
Now I want to know who percolates the feel for driving on a road better Andy or Gordon. You owe us this comparison TG
Looks so much better than the RS.
PDK all day!
Does the GT3 Touring have a less stiff suspension than the previous generation and the new GT3? Something similar to the GT4 RS Spyder less stiff suspension compared to the GT4 RS. That would be great!
When's the GT2 coming out?
Love It!!!! I believe it's the 25th Year Anniversary of the GT3, perhaps that's why it was introduced so quickly.
5:30 gonna need the jbl on the dash lol
🔥One of my dream cars! #goals
appreciate that continue exciting design😍
Wow, what a genius thought that the 911 R is the start of the modern touring story. No one's ever thought of that!
That's on my fav cars and it launched too early than I expected
Do the seats recline back a bit at all? I can’t stand the current one piece seats for city driving
Does the touring have softer suspension for the street?
Can you option the ST lighter fly wheel on GT3 Touring? If yes, then I would option it that way.
The difference between this and the last one is like trying to see the difference between current and last gen iphones.
Lowering springs and a front lip would make this car look amazing
Andreas ist einfach der absolute Medienprofi ❣️👌🏼
Ich find den cool ❕😅
The change to the gear ratios is the biggest story here
is that for 6sp and PDK or just PDK?
@@larrycable984Both.
For me it’s the change in price… it’s less than 20 k cheaper than a gt3rs in America
