Your argument for why you hate the car is complete bullshit. Twitter: Goodwood Festival of Speed on Speedhunters Cutting Room Floor There’s also that awful, awful mesh grill. Owning one? Well, you might as well forget about that. Not because it’s a bad car, but because you will be lucky to see one, let alone drive one. These are my reasons why you should dislike the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. It’s actively contributing to the problem of cars being bought solely as investments so the rich can become richer. How many of these cars will be driven as intended? How many more will be tucked away in private, only to pop up at an auction in 20 years time before vanishing again? Some of the greatest driver’s cars of all time, being sold to a market that doesn’t want to drive them? The irony is superb. It’s almost certainly going to become another unobtainable example of the 911, along with the 911 R, 993 GT2 and RS Lightweight, amongst others.īy limiting its run, Porsche is emphasising its collectability and in-turn is practically offering it as an investment, rather than a driver’s car. Maybe not off the showroom floor, relatively speaking, for those lucky few, but in years to come. The GT2 RS is going to be a limited run, which means pretty much one thing: it’s going to be ferociously expensive. That wouldn’t have made for a very eye-catching headline, though. Well, for a start, hate is too strong a word, but I do think that you should be at the very least mildly disappointed. Porsche has perfected its rear-engined platform and this might just be the pinnacle of the 911 lineage.
There’s no doubt it’s going to be a very good car, if not a great one.
So, PDK is perfectly fine in this instance. My mother can drive a manual, and she hates cars.
#PORSCHE GT2 RS MANUAL#
In my experience, the only people who speak out against DCTs have never experienced one, or are those strange types who consider the ability to drive a manual as some sort of sacred ability that only enthusiasts can perform. You’re not some sort of special driving super hero if you can drive a manual. I have driven manual 911s and I recently drove a PDK-equipped GT3, and I would take the dual-clutch option every single time. Some will bemoan that it’s only available in dual-clutch PDK trim, but I’m perfectly fine with that too. Its capability of 211mph (340km/h) is one thing, but its ability to sprint from a standstill to 124mph (200km/h) in just 8.3 seconds is eye-watering. It makes 700hp from a turbocharged 3.8-litre flat six, with the power being delivered to just the rear wheels. I don’t hate its performance, although I’m not a fan of so much been hidden from view on the current generation of 911s. There are certain angles where it’s at least alright the rear three-quarter view is where it maybe looks its best. The aesthetics appear to be dictated by function, which is something I’m sure we can all get along with. In fact, I do think it’s a bit ugly but that’s okay, too. I can also live with its looks, although the new GT2 RS is not something I would call pretty or even beautiful.
