New GT3 991 revealed in Geneva Motorshow
#72
I was seriously looking at getting a 3.8RS. Interesting how the new model outperforms even the mighty 4.0. From what I read and can gather from the videos, some of the natural "rawness" of the GT3 is now synthetic though. Even the " thud... thud" of the gear changes it seems has been manipulated in the pdk. And what happened to the minimalist interior? Anyone else think there are too many buttons for a GT3?
I have no doubt that the performance will be amazing around the track, but I can't help but think of the 458 vs GT3 RS argument Chris Harris made. Which provides a more visceral experience?
No doubt electronically aided shifting and other functions will be the way forward.. But I can't say I like where we're headed.
I'm still looking for a 3.8 RS.
The certainly car looks amazing though!

Looks great. But PDK only, I'm not sure.
Evo has a interesting video.

Couldnt agree more..also - everybody is talking about their Ring time..but lets see - how much in the real world - it would be faster then 3.8 or 3.8RS or 4.0. Lately, none of the Porsche claims could be verified by independent tests..my guess..in the end it will be between 3.8RS and 4.0RS..but thats so close together..and so fast already...there is no point in talking about real differences...and then it comes down to - as you say..fun etc. If the new one is 1 second faster on the track..but less fun for example..whats the point. And there are so many other things in the equation, depreciation, maintenance etc etc.
