Any new Porsche 911 comes in various forms.
The Carrera, Carrera 4, Cabriolet, Turbo, GT3, Targa and GTS.
For me, all those lead to the ultimate 911: the GT3 RS.
Just look at its wings and interior and you know it's about performance.
This is basically a road-going version of the race car that does 24h races.
The RS is even more hardcore and lighter. But it lacks a manual 'box.
Porsche elected to use the quickest transmission: PDK.
It's now so refined. Manuals are mostly gone from racing, too.
Use the paddles to shift. It's always so fast, even on downshifts.
Both hands on the wheel. Focus on your input and feet movement.
You'll never be as precise with a manual.
PDK is SO good, you can attack corners even more.
Bam! Bam! Downshifts as you pull the paddle.
Mated to a high-revving, NA flat 6 boxer. Amazing! Very racy.
Enlarged to 4.0 and refined. So: 500 PS! Very nice.
It revs to 8800 RPM. It doesn't get any better. Listen!
What a party! I wish turbo's would never exist. Wow.
The RS is a bit wider, too. The body and track are.
Balance and grip benefit from that. You feel the aero upgrade, too.
The grip is so amazing, especially at the front. Despite the engine place.
Porsche knows how to make the configuration work. It's so sharp.
When you push it a bit too much, you feel the back set out.
It should be like that. It's still a 911 after all. Brake hard, loosen up.
Be patient, let it roll and flat out to use the traction.
The faster you go, the more you can push it. Like a race car.
It's all so 'easy'. You can catch a 911 Turbo in the corners.
Wow. What a car. Just the Ferrari 458 Speciale is as 'special'.
Performance-wise, this is 5 seconds quicker than the GT3.
And 9 seconds faster than the Carrera GT. It's the ultimate 911.
We have a roll-cage. Give me some slick tires, and let's head for Le Mans.
