911 GT3 RS is UK's Best Driver's Car - Autocar.co.uk

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS has emerged victorious in Autocar’s annual Britain’s Best Driver’s Car comparison for 2010. All seven of Autocar's judges placed Porsche's latest lightweight special at the top of their list, beating off stiff competition from nine other brilliant driver's cars launched during the past year, as well as last year's winner, the Lotus Evora. The three-day test took place at the recently re-opened Donington Park circuit in Leicestershire, as well as some of Britain’s best B-roads that surround Castle Donington.

The 911 GT3 RS took victory ahead of the Noble M600 and, surprisingly, the Ferrari 458 Italia. The Ferrari may have been the quickest around Donington, but its quick steering and transition from understeer to oversteer wasn’t to all of the judges’ tastes.

The Evora finished in fourth place ahead of the Renaultsport Megane 250 Cup, Lotus Elise, Mercedes SLS AMG, Audi RS5, Jaguar XJ Supersport, VW Scirocco and Alpina B5 S. Chief road tester Matt Prior said of the Porsche: “It’s the most frenetic on-road experience here but, when you’re in the mood, absolutely one of the finest.”

Editor-at-large Steve Sutcliffe described the 911 GT3 RS as “very possibly the best road car any of us has ever driven around a circuit”.

:yahoo:

overjoyed with this news, feared the 458 might capture the title, i want to se what evo thinks,

wow i fail...DJ can you delete my post in the supercar section...didnt see this post before hand...

Yes.:spar:

Great article, awesome to hear others rave about the RS. Makes you wonder where the extra 120 hp that the ferrari has is going (other than more weight).

I just drove one last week (thank you Ryan) I can see why it won.

I heard in the Autocar offices they were undecided about the verdict until Jon called in with his Shrewsbury absentee ballot. They take this man very seriously.

Haha that's what I heard also. Rumor has it that tomorrow I have off and its suppose to be a nice day.....wink wink.

I would've picked the RS as well.
