Porsche’s manic 992 911 GT3 RS is the closest thing to a bona-fide racecar you can buy off the showroom floor with rego plates.

No turbochargers and no electric boost; just pure rear-drive. The 386kW bewinged super sports car still offers incredible 3.2sec performance and epic 30.8m 100-0km/h braking - some of the best we’ve ever tested.

Still, its crown glory is its chassis and driver engagement, making for one of the most thrilling road- and track-going vehicles serious money can buy. Our Weissach Pack-option beast costs $689,460 before on-roads!

Chasing Cars’ Deputy Editor Curt Dupriez finds out how much fun the GT3 RS can be on our test track and wonders if it’s possible to find the brave pills to match its lofty capabilities..

    ❤😂😢😮😮😅😊😊😊 that’s one hell of a sweet Porsche but it’s too much for my blood for the price but I will stick with a 2000 2003 2004 2005 2008 911 I could probably be for those but not the one that you’re advertising now keep up the good work remember there’s no substitute but Porsche and Porsche got a start kicking some ass in those races
  • @Alandiversi
    Pretty much the most accurate review I have seen - well done!
  • @oxxo902
    Main problem for porsche is that its sound is absolutely poor compared to other sport cars. Honestly pooring. I am saying this from experience
  • @btpp12
    You can't get this for $500k; it's more like $650k to $700k if you're lucky enough to get an allocation.
  • @vicsh4581
    you can't just buy it even if you have the money.
  • @tms977
    Drive it like a princess? 🙄
  • @goran2009
    Australia is the most pointless country to own car like this… This beast is made for Europe!

    Finally! A non-ghetto car. This channel should respect itself by reviewing nice cars instead of Chinesium CCP shitboxes like "Tank 300".
