This is the Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS and we're back for Season Two of Modern Classics with one of the best drivers Porsches ever made! With 444bhp from the last of the Porsche Mezger engines and weighing around1370kg the Porsche GT3 RS is highly engaging and rewarding sports car. Back in 2010 it achieved a Nurburgring lap time of 7:33 thanks to improved downforce, lighter materials and carbon ceramic brakes.

The 997 generation GT3 will probably be one of the most sought after in a few years time. Relatively light and compact when compared to more modern cars, the character, handling and Mezger engine are timeless. Add Manthey suspension and an engine upgrade for one of the best cars ever.

I think you have impeccable taste James but I don't understand the koenigsegg purchase. To me they are like a Hubolt mp, incredible pieces of engineering but would you use it? With type of wedge your going to drop on it you could build your modern classic collection. This is the sweet spot. The world is going to change now and these ultra hyper cars seem ridiculous, undriveably fast and ludicrously expensive. You could invest in a modern classic's garage and have a collection you could enjoy and share with future petrol heads...you could build something special at that facility with the right collection....cars that can be used and shared...I firmly believe we've tipped and 1000bhp+ cars are a nonsense..

@@dagnut How is the world going to change so that a hybrid hypercar is going to be less enjoyable and less usable than a conventional ICE car? The war that is currently going on against the car is about co2, not speed, so a hybrid is definitely more future proof than a ICE car unless you're just going to park it in a garage and look at it. That hypercars will drop in value and not go back up is also nothing more than a guess, it's literally impossible to know.

@evanharris3802 3 жыл бұрын

Great review. I couldn’t agree more. The 997.2 RS is the high water mark for the GT/RS series. Last of the true analog driver’s car with soul and pure interface with its driver requiring driver and car to work together and becoming an extension of the driver. Last of the Mezger engines GT cars. Single mass fly wheel. 6spd. 1400 produced world wide. Values climbing. Sold my 2019 RS and bought a 997.2 RS and haven’t looked back.

I read about approx 1600 built, but would also like to have the correct number.

@fourpipes 4 жыл бұрын

Hey James just to let you know. The “airy” feeling of the engine you described and lower torque is due to a lighter flywheel. This is gives that awesome quick, blip response that you feel when heel-toeing. Probably best described as a comparison between a v10 F1 car vs a road car. Those F1’ would have a flywheel roughly the size of your fist and abroad car one the size of a dinner plate and a lot heavier so it carries more momentum which translates to torque. Great video. Love your work. 👍🏻👍🏻

Another SUPERIOR Review James. And yet THIS one hits home for me. So yes I agree, the RS for the top track 997GT3 weapon, but for the street I get pretty darn close with my non-RS 997.2 GT3, and don’t have to worry with the dual mass FW, and no Harmonic Balancer or Cam Actuator Bolt issues. Absolutely love this car. Very well done review!!2
