Fantastic, what a priviledge ! You brought the jewel home. Good for you. Absolutely fascinating. And it just shows that the CAR team and you yourself are globally deemed a very trustworthy and credible bunch. Well that is saying something 👍🏻 Incidentally, I bought my first CAR magazine in 1974. Doug Blain was trying a Countach. He was well liked in Sant’Agata. I think Valentino Balboni was already driving all day long there. If I’m not mistaken. 😎
What an honour to drive something like that up the hill. For a younger chap I hold your opinion and credibility up there with the top established motor journos 🫡
James, congratulations for driving this historic car at such a location! Curiously, just a few days ago, I was reviewing info and videos of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. It almost won the 24h of Nurburgring ❤
911 GT3 is so legendary and sounds amazing, can't imagine that is already 14 years from when this rolling laboratory was developed ❤❤❤great video James
Haven't heard a Mezger GT3 in a while...they definitely sound different to the 9A1 based current engines. Sounds great! Way more mechanical and old school.
Is this the best sounding hybrid you've ever heard?
There is also the 918 Spyder and maybe others, but this 911 must be up there too!
😍
soo insane that you got the chance to drive it!

He is very good!
Agreed. James and the CAR team are doing a good job pumping it up in UA-cam. Keep it up 💪👍

Does indeed sound awesome!
I recall when this car almost won N24, such a great experiment!
Awesome Video James, very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
997 GT3 R has always been the best sounding 911 GT3 race car imo. Better than RSR.
This is the hybrid approach Porsche should have made with the newest GTS. No turbos, e-axle up front with a small pancake motor in the transmission.
It's like a 918 Spyder but a 911, right?
I actually got to sit in the car, at the museum in stuttgart. I remerber it having a sequential shift lever in the center?
Brilliant
What a privilege, lucky young man. A good watch 👍🏻
Thank you!
