Which is your favourite? 911 GT3 Cup or 911 GT3 R?
Let us know in the comments!
GT3 R

GT3 cup is much more difficult. No ABS or TC so drivers are rewarded much more for there skill
ABS can be installed on GT3 Cup
@@Boxsterox Yeah it can but thats not the point, cars with abs require less skill than without it. Whole point of a gt3 cup is it is difficult to drive and is rewarding for those who can extract everything from it.
A GT3 R WON THE 2024 BATHURST 12 HR!! BRILLIANT
despite not having the outright speed, but it had consistency
@@DonLee1980It definitely had the outright speed. You could especially see that on restarts. The gap would always rise super quickly.
@@vvsarja then why did the AMG GT3 take up 4 of the top 5 qualifying spots?
@@DonLee1980
Come on VV and DON.
DOES NOT MATTER.
ALL THAT MATTERS THAT IT DID WIN!

best part of the video, no music during the onboard,
other car reviewers should learn
Thank you!
Having raced a fair bit at Estoril, I can see this chap knows his way around a circuit. Great to see a journo with some skills 👍
Starting late last year Car Magazine has seriously stepped it up in content and quality. I see it and applaud it 👏🏾👏🏾
I agree with your comment....these are some of the best on YT now.
Mega! Pretty handy at the wheel, James!
Thanks! I was hanging on 😂

Watching these cars in person at COTA, and on videos like these, I’ve got to hand it to Assetto Corsa Competizione for absolutely nailing the sounds and visuals on this car! I can only imagine how exhilarating it is to drive in person!
Phenomenal video and commentary!
love them both...a long, long history from the sixties to nowadays and still the 911 is able to win championchips. An evolutionary piece of automotive art and engineering knowlegde. So great!
I just discovered this channel and this video review is just another level compared to others because of serious approach which gives goosebumps. Only thing I was hoping for to hear in the end is final verdict on what are the key differences in driving those two.
Keep it up and I hope to see more pro racing car reviews in future 🤝🏻
Thank you!
They have 3. There's the RSR which isn't even rear engined and is the fastest of them all.
The GT3 R in this video has replaced the RSR.
@CARmagazineTV did porcher explicitly say there is no 992 RSR? How do you know it just hasn't been announced?
@@enjoshi-godrez8775 the GTE class doesn't exist anymore so there wont be another 911 rsr
@nuztuz903 thanks for the correction.
You guys deserve so many more views !!
U talk about the engine cover can be removed should have showed us the engine I’m curious to see
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 very funny!!!! I get it!!
Brilliant video, well done James and team.
Thanks very much!
Your channel is awesome!keep up!
Thank you!
Amazing video! Keep them coming! Subscribed and Liked.
No other car magazine reviews these types of race cars, thank you.
Beautiful video, thank you!
Great video! Really enjoyed watching.
Thank you!
Too bad you did not have a mid-engine RSR 2018/19 to compare them to
Yep. That was a mental car !
absolutely amazing video.
Thanks!
Wow, the host is just another level which can easily drive a GT3 car🎉
Simply pure Porsche! We are also ready for the coming racing season 🔥
What a great and engaging video, it must be so cool to drive these, especially the Cup car! Thanks! I'm jealous now :)
Thank you!
You can keep the women, the yachts, the vacations, and all that stuff. This is the dream! I could do this everyday and love every minute of it! The sound of those uncut gears is a masterpiece in itself.
would love to see lap time differences between RS, Cup and R all using the same tires
Awesome video! Did you kick and scream when they pulled you out of the GT3R? JK, I would have looked for hand cuffs to keep me in, lol. The noise coming from both of those Porsche race cars is intoxicating. 🙂👍
Thank you! In one of the outtakes James did mention that he was never getting out 😂
Great video. Music a bit loud too early at the end. Muffled the R’s exhaust too much. Top shelf reviewer in Mr Denison. I’ll have a 991.2 GT3 for the road and a GT3 R for my track day special 😂
Will turn the music down a bit next time!
Porsche elegance
Great review as usual JD - Glad I don't have you job - it sucks -oops - i watched this 2 months ago - great thing about getting old :)
Brilliant Quality Upload!!!
Out of interest, what was your lap time differences between the cup and R?
We weren’t properly timing laps but it was probably about 3 seconds.
hmm would have to drive them to choose between them ;) great useful content, thanks
Thanks!
very awesome video I love Porsches, this is my 3rd time watching while I make this comment.
Thank you x3!
Nice video. Small observation. Only thing that it's wrong is the "southern Portugal" when talking about Estoril. Estoril seats in the coast but mid way our continental Portugal. Portimao yes that's southern. Not to confuse anyone
Nice
The GT3 R looks beautiful
Any considerations on making this a series? For other GT3 races such as Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Corvette etc
The cup gt3 doesn't rev out to 9k rpm like the normal car does it?
Porsche....best ever ❤😊
I LOVE PORSCHE
Skills 🔥
🔥
Great video!!! It's cool to see how sim racing actually lines up with real life. The 911 R is much easier to drive at speed than the Cup car, but it feels a lot bigger and less responsive. To me the sweet spot of everything are Formula 3/4 cars. In the games at least they are like wearing an exoskeleton or riding a motorcycle with aero.
Glad you enjoyed! 911 Cup car is far more ‘chuck-able’ in real life than it feels in Iracing according to JD.
What a video. Well played gents.
Thanks!
Minor point but i like the look of last gen's square mirrors better.
Hellllll I dream about driving it without getting a speeding ticket, jusssst fiiinnne !!
My guy can fucking drive. Very impressive considering its his first time in a Porsche racecar
One day I will get to experience this. Until then, I will have to settle with ACC and my Simucube
I love how the FIA scrapped GTE because it was getting too expensive, and now a GT3 car is >€600k. I'm fairly sure a GT3 R 991 was in the region of €350k
I'd imagine if you'd generated more tyre temp the R would have been grippier.
It won the nurgirgring 24hr already
I've been looking to buy a GT3 R after owning a couple of different GT3 Cup cars but they're so hard to find and get, you can't just buy them at Porsche.
Wonder how you even order one of those? My mom just got a Boxster GTS 4.0. Just didn't see these on the website. Lol
These are purely for racing so im sure you gotta go through their motorsport departments or their Motorsport dealers.
For cup cars, you need to ask your dealer about availability and they’ll probably connect you with another customers who’s selling.
😂
They only sell the latest Cups to those who commit to race in the Carrera Cup series.
Lucky bastard that gets to do this for a job!
Now imagine unrestricted. Like that benz on mt panorama. Or the RSR. There could be even faster 911s 😉
The GT3 R Rennsport exists for that. GT3 R without sanction/series restrictions
Yep@@edroth555
Can someone help name the livery on the R please
It’s the Rutronik Racing livery
❤ Toyota GR Corolla ❤
Right now it’s the 911 GT3 vs Z06 GT3 the only car you didn’t name. 😂
Pls bring back the cards on the magazine 😢
Cards?
@@CARmagazineTV they use to be magazines that came with car cards
Is that Glock!?
It is! 😂
Is that Glock?
gg
pound for pound not better that the gt2 rs
The GT3RS is a poser car. The cup car is the real deal for the hobby racer. Full cage, fire supression system, safety fuel cell. And speed, lots of speed.
lol the gt3rs on cup 2 r is fast in some high speed corners than the cup car on slicks
@@dylanhaili5646
Is that perhaps due to the fact there are regulations the cup car has to abide by, but the road car doesn't?
@@koraxi8958 idk I mean the cup car races in a one make series so Porsche could technically do what ever them want to the car the gt3rs just has more down force
There is no track a GT3 RS is faster than a Cup car. The Cup is lighter, on slicks, has more tire, more downforce, and more adjustability. Also, the Cup can be raced against other makes in International GT.
@@lovinglife9711 look it up road America it’s faster around most of the corners and the cup car doesn’t race in international gt that’s the gt3r
This car is humongous to be taken seriously for a sporting car, with electric power steering, it is pure garbage. Having to "trust the rear end" is literally the worst attribute to have in any sports or track car, and is likely related to the EPS. If a company with all the efforts toward racing performance makes a product like that, then has a steering wheel that makes saving a spin much reduced is repulsive. Still the too light porpoising front end from the inherent obsolete poor balance is laughable, if it wasn't preposterous.
The gt3 cup has to be the best factory supported racecar for the “public” 😂🤌 the gt3 R has options? 😂🤯 like what?
Wow if it's James 👍,#🫶it
