Very, very nice.

But with EPS, PDK and 4WS personally I think I would enjoy the more pure 997 GT3 4.0 RS a bit more and it remains my dream P-car. I'll never know for sure since I will never be in a position to drive either

chris82 · 05-21-2015, 10:13 AM

To me, this latest gen of GT3 is more like a supercar and that's what I don't like. I never saw the older models like that, perhaps because of the lack of tech they had, and that you could only get one with a manual gearbox. I think now that they have finally all gone to PDK, this car is no longer the GT3 of old, even though it has the same purpose. I can already see the numbers sold of this model going up, for the sole fact that it no longer has a manual, and the average driver will now be able to drive it.

chillindrdude · 05-21-2015, 11:09 AM

love this latest generation.

StealYourFace · 05-21-2015, 11:39 AM

Stunning display of engineering precision and emotion.

StealYourFace · 05-21-2015, 11:44 AM

Wouldn't you love that motor in a cayman?

SunnyD · 05-21-2015, 12:15 PM

I absolutely love Ultraviolet; such a stunning color and reminds me of techno/daytona violet on the e36.

gonzo · 05-21-2015, 01:54 PM

Doesn't come close to LFA.

Yea, Ultraviolet is what I'd get. I'd like to thank Porsche personally for offering that color. It reminds me of when I played NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on Gamecube.

Fixed.

But it is true, I'd take LFA over any other sports car ever built, in the past, present and future, even hypothetical Cayman GT3 RS.

fcman · 05-22-2015, 09:45 AM

I don't even understand how people in this market buy cars. I mean you have this unbelievable engineering masterpiece, the fantastic looking and sounding AMG GT, and now a freaking McLaren, not to mention the Masers and Astons, and Audi R8. My money would be safe in my bank account because I'd never be able to make a decision. And even if I did finally choose one how can you decide on a color? I mean that orange and that purple, jesus, and that white GT3RS

eau_rouge · 05-22-2015, 09:56 AM

What an engineering masterpiece.

I saw this car on the press days in Geneva back in March. Let me tell you one thing: The wing is huge. I mean: HUGE! If you stand right in front of the car, you are still able to see it.

If you buy one, make sure that you don't get hit by the wing when you are walking past by the car.

Well, you can probably still get a new one when you get ready.
There are around 20 still on dealer lots here in the states.

Hypothetically, they will still be there for you. Maybe they will offer free mats and tint if you seem serious to them.

No lie, I had dreams of flying 911s last night after watching this video. That wing...

Savory · 05-22-2015, 10:29 AM

I'm not a fan of how the car looks at all. The Turbo scoops look are very out of place on the GT3, wayy too busy with all the aero. If their 991 cup car races without it, don't see why they used it unless to homologize it for future use. The 20/21 inch stagger on something track worthy is questionable. I was reading an article that Porsche went out of their way and altered suspension components and parts of the assembly line just to accommodate a heavier 918 tire. But hey, they need to give the RS owners something to brag about lol!

TSM330i · 05-22-2015, 11:01 AM

They have the "Build your own GT3RS" on the Porsche website. Mine came out to $210K

This is no doubt going to be a fantastic car. I love the looks and everything they've done with it.

It's also a great time to be an automotive enthusiast. GT3RS vs. Z06 vs. Viper ACR
