After the controversial 991.1, Porsche knocked it out of the park with the 991.2. How does it stack up in 2024 after the launch of the 992 GT3?

Massive thank you to the seller of this 911 GT3 for allowing us to film their car.

    991.2 GT3 with manual box. A sure fire classic.
  • @8lack8bird
    The 991.2 GT3 is by far my favorite looks out of all the other generations, especially in a wingless config. It's just missing the lightbar.
  • @Robboroussard
    Lucky to have the Touring same spec, absolute pinnacle of 911 GT cars in my opinion.
  • @jameswillard1
    All GT3 generations have had their unique characteristics and traits, which I find so fascinating about the Porsche brand how they figure out ways to make improvements….. which inevitably will be seen as criticisms of the previous generation fans. Having owned a 997.2/991.1/991.2/992 generation GT3’s I’ve witnessed the evolution and they truly do get better and better with each generation, even if by pushing the boundaries and advancing the performance of the car sometimes results in what may be seen as a step back in other areas

    I'm maybe a lil bit biased here, but only if someone thinks this car and in this spec especially doesn't look like one of the most beautiful cars ever made, BUT this is the best car review, camera movement shot selection ever. WOW. The two first shots especially at 2:24 and all the b-roll during the guy talking. Man I just felt happy. Thank you! Best wishes grom Germany

    What else there is to say? A blend of clean svelte lines with aggressive details, one of the most well-balanced 911 design over the years (even compared with air-cooled cars), options of excellent PDK or sublime manual, 4-litre race-derived flat-six going to 9000rpm, interior that balances modern technologies with normal layouts (BUTTONS!), and chassis from God. I always said 991.2 GT3 (touring or not touring) was the perfect 911. The peak 911. No other 911s come close before it, and none ever since. Only 991.1R and 991.2 Speedster came close in my book. One of only a handful of cars that rightly deserves a 10/10. This statement will upset a lot of purists and hard-line air-cooled 911 enthusiasts.

    A wonderful car! We've had the pleasure of optimizing many of them over the years and are always delighted when we have a GT3 RS to visit.
  • @shoos9315
    I enjoyed the review, you're obviously engaged as a fan. @4:07 A missed opportunity: "Making a brilliant car even brillianter" - not good English, but fun x
  • @Jembo28
    Did the front number plate fly off at some point during filming?
  • @NoHassle911
    Wow! That GT3 is my dream car and it's in the same spec as my own 911 996. Never thought i would love Artic Silver with silver wheels and yellow brakes so much. People these days think you should always go for some fancy expensive colour, but less is really more. Love mine and find it so cool to see this GT3 in the sort of same spec!
  • @jortepap
    996 and 997 GT3 do have a more pure, more analogue feel.
  • @ernesternest815
    The good thing is now the 911 base can get the same steering as the GT3 with calibration using PIWIS.
  • @joe718gt4
    JCR really wakes up Porsche GT cars
  • @findtomdotcom
    A manual GT3 is a fantastic car, but a PDK with a high Revving engine is quite the experience. You cant really go wrong with either.
