Ekona Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Otherwise known as the best car for a generation. Chris Harris/DRIVE video below. Words almost fail to describe just how much pure want I have for that car. It looks stunning, the engine is absolutely perfect for the application and it would appear that it handles sublimely. Bearing in mind just how much experience Chris has with 911s (he raced one in the N24 last year IIRC), he knows what he's talking about and if says that it makes the 997 GT3 feel old and redundant, I tend to believe him. This is the only car available right now I'd consider selling up for. Gawjus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 991 gt3...selling up for? hell i'm tempted to sell the kids for one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Good reason to have kids, the waiting time for a GT3 is about 12 months so if I get her up the duff now it'll give me a bit of time to find a buyer...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need more than one kid....so will need to "chat" to her friends. Its all in a good cause...I'm sure they'd understand. So does anyone have Madonna or Ms Jolies number......I'm sure they are adopting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Awesome video. Much want. Doesn't have to be 991, i'll settle for any GT3 frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If this is the GT3, how good will the RS model be I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Not really clued up on Porsche, so why isn't it a 998? I thought they were going in a sequential style, unlike say, Ferrari, who swap about with displacement figures etc. for their series names. Or did they get to 999 already and are starting again, if they did I need to pay more attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 They've already built a 998 probably, it'll be one of the development cars that we never see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm not a Porsche fan, never liked the styling of the 911, but the new one is growing on me big time, and that GT3 is a thing of beauty, suits the colour in the video too. Would have been nice to have the option for a manual gearbox. Wish my zed revved to 9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I do think they need to be in ridiculous garish colours to really hit the mark though......bright orange or snot greet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Sounds incredible, and looks a lot meaner and more purposeful than the Carrera spec cars. Chris Harris is probably the best motoring journo out there at the moment; wish Top Gear was more like this than stupid races between a car and a boat powered by myrrh or whatever ridiculous mode of transport they find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 All I see is greyness.......I've watched the video and wanted to feel excited but I don't. I feel almost the same with R35's.....I hear everyone harp on about them and I want to experience what everyone is talking about and I mentally convince myself it's the best thing since sliced bread and then.......I look back at the picture and think *meh*. To me, Porsche's are soul-less and a victim of their own super successful engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
