The All-New 911 GT3RS is the Wildest 911 Of All Time! (And Why I Don't Want One) - The Smoking Tire

The new 911 GT3 RS is an unbelievable achievement. In just ten years, Porsche has shaved eight seconds off the Nurburgring lap time set by the 918 Spyder Hypercar, in a 911 with just over half the power and two less driven wheels. Using every aerodynamic, chassis, and lightweighting trick they can conjure, Porsche has built one of the most unbelievable track-focused roadgoing Porsche's of all time - but it comes at a cost. Is it worth what will end up being $300,000+ for a GT3 RS versus a pure trackday racing car? Is it really what you want for a car mostly driven on the street? Matt hits the track at the Thermal Club to find out!

Porsche provided the vehicle, track time, b-roll, a photo, and lunch for this review.
Shout out to Tangent Vector for the high-quality on-track shots and beautiful b-roll.

  • I'm really enjoying the extra production value in these videos. It's been amazing to watch this cannel evolve
  • Felt like I was watching an auto documentary on TV. This production quality is insane, props to y’all for doing what everyone else can’t. 10x more entertaining than a car review filmed on an iPhone
  • @Beezy_Builds
    Just started watching and the time and effort you and Zak spent on this video is very much appreciated!
  • Love the addition of cinematic shots, I know it’s not really a great ROI but I think it adds a little something to the overall vibe of the video
  • @porscherain
    This is Matt’s best video to date. Well produced and well thought out. Great job habibi.
  • @djohnson84
    Man, you guys are really turning up the quality on these. I appreciate the thought and time put into these productions now (heard your recent podcast about it). I thank you sirs!
  • @pedroagogo
    This was absolutely worth the wait, thank you for your hard work Matt! As you mentioned on the podcast, it must have been really challenging to record all of this on your own.
  • @Lambullghini
    Guys, this is your best video to date. This kind of format and production quality Is going to without a doubt bring this channel back to life.
  • Nice work matt. I think it goes without saying again but this is a great video. Thanks a bunch to you and Zach for the continued hard work in bringing us the badass content we've been getting!
  • For the record, W. Earl Brown played Warren in Something About Mary.
  • @ph1lthyvision
    Hats off to Porsche! The lead/follow with factory talent in a GT3 vs journo in the RS is perfect. Looked like another great day for Matt!
  • @Crumblacrumbs
    Everything about this is what I want. I would also love a roof mounted pov when matt is narrating his driving, “lean off the brakes, little bit of push” and it goes back to b roll that’s not related! I wanna see what the car is doing live when he’s pushin it while talking
  • @moey505
    Love how much more production value these videos have. This and the 911 Dakar are easily the best videos you have released.
  • @xeuse51
    The comment about the owners conversations about settings had me rolling Matt, and you know you are 100% accurate with your take on it.
  • @vbimmerr
    What a great film on this car… loved it! I appreciate the extra effort you guys noticeably put into this video.
  • Love watching these higher quality videos mixed with Matt’s honesty and experience this is so refreshing to watch compared to other car YT reviewers.
  • @Luckeysharms
    I’m loving the quality on these recent videos! Thanks Matt and Zack!
  • @beaushaw
    I love all these "the 911 that isn't for me" videos
  • @emerckx53
    Very well done review. Matt always does a great job of adding REAL WORLD analysis to these cars.
  • Bravo. Love the production value and the narration. Looking forward to more of this style of video from TST
