- More active and passive aerodynamics create even more downforce in this naturally-aspirated track machine--but does that performance help on the road?

Jay has the best job in the world. People stop by with the most incredible cars and ask,”would you like to take it for a ride?”
And the best thing is if he really likes it, he has the money to buy one. It's like an endless test drive for Jay
Not just people the ones who make the cer
well cars are more his hobby i think
Advertising
Not sure you would call it a job when it’s his own channel
Jay’s so right. Nothing beats the sound and feel of a great NA engine.
absolutely!
>Straight piped VQ noises intensify<
Are you sure about that? lol
That is the perfect ignorant statement
I love my Pacer.
Except a twin turbo anything....Jay's becoming Grandpa who tells the same joke every time you go to his house.....
"Ya know, I remember when they used to say you'd never be more than a mile from a phone in any direction.."
I met Patrick a few years ago at COTA before a race. He was standing by the car, cup of coffee in hand. It was freezing outside, and I asked for a pic. He set down his cup and smiled. Really nice guy.
What a way to round out an incredible career. Porsche couldn't pick a more enthusiastic and knowledgeable guy to represent the brand.
Porsche has been my all-time dream car since my early thirties. Maybe someday I'll get to drive one.
Come to Germany and do a taxi lap on the Nurburgring with a 911. You will not understand how that car stays on the track, but it does 😅
996 is a great starting point. Got mine and I friggin love it!
Always was a fan of 996 GT2, this gt3 is first one that looks good since the 996.
@@JayLeno-rz3if yes i always loved the look of 996 GT2. My uncle owned a mint never driven white whale tale 930 turbo so i been around these kinds of cars up close. I would still chose 996 GT2 over both.
@@JayLeno-rz3if i went to a Porsche dealership in 2003 to look at the new Carrera Gt in showroom, I left with the free 2003 dealership brochure I still have it. Wanted the silver 477hp GT2 listed in the back of it 🤣
Love Jay's humility. He's such a gift to the automotive world. And Patrick Long, what can you say? One of the best things about Porsche is the people. The Porsche community is so well represented by Patrick Long. The cars are world class, but the people are even better.
Well said.
It's not a Jay Leno video if he doesn't mention his Mclaren F1, Mercedes 600, or Carrera GT.
Yea and takes a dump on Ferrari, and that’s fine with me too.😂
If I owned a McLaren F1 I would make sure to mention it in every single conversation I have 😂
I drove a 2019 example of the GT3 RS and it’s hard to even describe the precision and instant response to any and all input. Incredible car! It really made me feel like a much better driver than I actually am. Great video as always. Thank you!
OMG I wonder what it'll do for me? I'm already a better driver than most people. Agree about the video, great!
i can tell you the new one is mental. For people who are more experienced the tweaks you can do on the fly with the suspension is something else! hope you get the chance to drive it! Greetings from Zuffenhausen Germany ;)
Ah, the 991.2
In Lizard Green, that is my dream car.
@@bernibeckmann9753 I'm a better driver than most people as well, this car would make me supreme above all others!
@@4Kandlez @Berni Beckmann Maybe you two should get a room and compare pee pee sizes? Btw Pinocchio wants his nose back
I wish I could get a new episode everyday! So much knowledge from Jay!
Conversation doesn’t skip a beat at 26:30 with that quick transition. Love it!
Great video guys! The Carrera GT managed a 7.28 back in the day, almost 40 seconds off this weapon, amazing when you consider the GT had 80hp more and weighed a bit less....
I thought that didn't sound right - Must have been thinking of the Porsche 918.
If I was ever fortunate enough to be able to afford this masterpiece, this is the EXACT spec I would choose. Those blue wheels are unbelievable. Thank you Patrick Long and Jay-that was great!
Jay driving @ 16:09 light turning yellow well before entering , go faster through light, camera edits that out, drives like most of us! Forget about the +100MPH; lol. that'l give you a ticket too. Great episode - again! Plus Patrick says it's affordable to "pound" cars on tracks lap after lap - betcha he doesn't pay for his tires!
I thought I was the only one, that just enjoys driving my cars.
Spot on Jay👍🏻
Good to see you back and Healthy😊
Yes, you're the only one. No one else does. True story.
"I thought I was the only one, that just enjoys driving my cars" Come on Karl don't be silly now
@@bongobob7079 I'm not into street racing, beating them to death. Sad to see someone trash a great car.
I LOVE that you raced against the bike!! The opening clips of the same shot first caught my ear's attention, but when you cut to the biker pulling up to lane split (20:03) , then switching camera to the car's view/audio, oh my! Them's two different redlines! WOOT! Great as always, good sir!
Porsche just have a distinctive aura. Other car manufacturer just put in as many horse power as possible, while Porsche engineers come up with brilliant ideas
Thank you, Mr. Leno for another awesome history lesson, nothing better than a naturally aspirated Porsche!🙏🏽
Pat Long and Jay Leno talkin' Porsche! Doesn't get any better than this for a Porsche fan.
Jay is a walking legend without a doubt but I somehow believe he would be more of a GT3 Touring Type of Guy :)
Why? He has the money to own and enjoy driving any car he wants
@@4Kandleznot everything is about money. I suppose motorconcierge meant that it’d fit Jay from a use standpoint: the GT3 is understated, very fun and very fast, yet refined. And not a cheap car either
Nahhh he is more of a TRX kinda guy…specially when he drives home from Burbank
The Carrera GT did not go under 7 minutes at the nring like Jay said. It did 7:28 👍🏻
this RS is not 8500 rpm redline either Patrick stated
I thought 7 minutes was a little fast for the time
@@robertpsotka3525 The Carrera GT has an impressive time especially for its day but the actual first car to break the 7 minute barrier was the Porsche 918 Spyder
@Brian Himmelman you're right, peak hp is 8500 redline is 9000 bur maybe post 8500 it cuts fuel as it gets close to 9k
@@catinthehat5140 It doesn’t “cut fuel” ……it will run unobstructed to 9000 !
A fabulous car, an interesting yet, relaxed conversation between 2 great and intelligent car guys.
Thank you and congratulations
Glad Jay is back n looking good. Crazy a guy worth that much still works on all his own cars n ones that may be dangerous to work on apparently the older ones. Must be amazing to work at his shop with all those cars
Great video. Loved the casual chat Jay and Patrick had about what the future was supposed to be like when they were young compared to how it has turned out.
May internal combustion last for a long time.
💯💯
Save the manuals
Remember when 7 min lap at the Nurburgring was astonishing? This thing does 6:45? That's crazy I'm off to find a video of it.
Jay thanks for your time and sharing your passion with us
One of the highlights of my entire life was driving a GT3 around a track at full bore. I still fantasize about that experience and I WILL own one someday!
My dad worked for Patrick's dad at Pacific Woodworks fo many years and would always talk about Patrick to see him with Leno now is surreal,sending much love bro
Great video Jay. You hit the nail on the head with the aero comment and the speed required to feel it in this car. Great car! Keep them coming
Jay got stuck in 1980, 4 liter, LOL
Stunning! Another car in my virtual garage.
I can absolutely feel the 2016-GT3-RS aero entering a highway,long entrance ramp, the car is absolutely amazing to drive❤
Wonderful exchange between you. The detailed comments are instructive and even awesome ! What a car. And for a street legal race car this 992 GT3 RS looks beautiful. A total achievement. Bravo Porsche 👏😎
@ 20:03 it sounds like jay races the bike and they kept the audio but cut the scene to a different rolling shot 👏🏾 👏🏾
6:50 at the Nurburgring?! I took a physics class in college many many years ago, and we calculated how it was virtually impossible for a street car to ever lap the ring under 7 minutes. Now here we are, 2023 and theres several road legal cars that are under 7 minutes.
As a 911 and 914-6 owner and addict, thank you Jay. Great video.
yeah he made this video just for you
Sorry to hear about your addiction. Drugs huh, they hurt families everywhere.
Always look forward to jays Monday car videos. 😀
It's Monday?? I'm late for work!
Love that channel!
Love that man!
Love that car!
I always look 👀 forward to a new
Jay Leno’s Garage episode
Jay is an encyclopedia of car knowledge. I so appreciate his stories.
It's impossible for Jay Leno to get old as long as he drives all these sport cars 😌
I really like the blue rims and seatbelt 😊 nice touch
i love the low camera front shots, it really shows how wide this thing is, please marketing do more of this. its good to know the perspective of these machine on the road and how the look when i am looking at it from the front or rear while driving in a different car.
Hello Jay , Thank you for sharing your cars.
Great videos. I love your collection. 👍
Jay started that car. That growl. Nothing like it.
I like how Jay likes to touch and feel how things are made. Such a genuine guy
Let's see some of your own iron, Mr. Leno. That's always my favorite stuff.
Great to have Patrick Long on the show! Great driver, and a walking Porsche encyclopedia. Not many people would, but I would daily drive this car. After all the exhaust sound of cars being dampened by turbos, it's great to hear the sound of a naturally aspirated engine (especially this one)! Thanks Jay, Patrick, and crew for another fantastic episode! THAT SOUND!! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Closest I've ever got to something like this was driving a Cayman GT4 last summer which blew me away. My brain right now wouldn't fathom the full capabilities of this.
I want daily Jay's garage episodes! They are like mini documentaries! Soo much knowledge from Jay.
Jay is so well studied
Not really
He is marketing for Porsche, documentary, muhahahahaha, you get fooled easy !
You do all coupons too, buy it all they say, lol !
Such a beautiful car. It looks so awesome!
Love Jay Leno… such a treasure to our great country!!!
Great interview, Mr. Leno. A+
Porsche truly knocked it out of the park with this one.
Nice looking car and great info from Patrick Long
This latest GT3 RS really blurs the line between road and track further than ever before...and it's an exciting proposition. Although I'm a bit old-school and still enjoy my 997 based GT cars, there is no denying that this latest model is the ultimate road and track weapon for those who can have it. I cannot wait to see them in the wild, and I'm fortunate that some of my friends and customers have them on order too. Amazing video...thanks for a great time!
Incredible piece of machinery 🥰
Porsche is the best! Jay definitely needs this in his collection!
Love that certain cars will focus conversations into different time periods. Classic cars & the past. These modern machines & the future.
Patrick and Randy Pobst are two of the nicest and most approachable people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with. Met them both at Indy back in 2014 and both gave the impression that they simply loved being able to race cars for a living and to have people who were fans. Randy noticed my Brumos Racing t-shirt and actually approached me. Patrick is a true Porschephile and knows the brand from top to bottom, a wealth of knowledge.
Welcome back Jay! Great to see you back in top form !
Thanks Jay, this car is the definition of driving fun!
Great show Jay! And it looks like you are healing well. 😊
Patrick is a great ambassador. Explains without pretension. A true “Porsche guy”. To say nothing of Luft, for which the rest of us Porschevolk are so grateful.
“I drink the kool-aid.” 😂
Thank you for your great video presentations. Here, in Australia, we rarely see some of the great cars you feature, and cars like Duesenbergs are completely unknown in this country. I particularly like the cars from the Nethercutt collection as I was able to visit that wonderful display in 1990 and 1995. Thank you again.
Why you cray that, just post the Holden Foxback, great downunder cars enough !
Love to see Jay back at it!
The 4 liter Porsches will be like the 356 Carreras of the future. Very collectible I’m sure
A Pleasure to
meet Ya Patrick
Always a good time Jay
Such a beautiful
Super Car
Has to be a thrill to drive
Great looks sound and
Performance👍
This is a beautiful car. I love the use of the aero from the side
That is a fine Car.....Thanks Jay & Patrick.......
Shoe🇺🇸
Sweet ride!
I recently did a review on my channel on a 2015 GT3 and absolutely loved it. I can't even imagine how much better this is. Hopefully one day soon I can review this car.
You are the best Jay!
Great car and duo of enthusiasts!
love how he says, "on a closed course of course," then double overs. Jay your'e looking great!
People was telling me not to approach Jay Leno during Monterey Car week because so many people ask him for autographs and pictures. When I heard that, it was a let down for sure. I did run into Jay Leno and was able to chat with him. Such a great person. I have watch Tonight show with Jay Leno since I was 8-9 years old. I’m almost 40 now 😂😅. Still amazed that I got a chance to meet him in person ❤. Thanks for being a Great and Awesome person Mr. Leno.
Top Porsche, thanks Jay. 😎👍😎
Awesome episode jay
Jay asking all the right questions!
Great video!
Fantastic clip. Porsche sets the standard.
In the canyons, the Turbo charged 911s hit 120 so fast... frankly it's terrifying to behold. I'm in a natural aspirated 997.2... I have my speed alarm set to 96 because I'm not interested in going over 100... ever... but these guys with the newer cars (which all have turbos) hit 120 and don't even realize it. I mean that, they don't even realize what they're doing. Many of these cars can hit 100 in 7-9 seconds. It's getting pretty crazy out there
is it just me or is Jay abbreviating the "Welcome to another episode of Jay Leno's garage" more and more for each episode?
Yes. He's also starting to look like my grandma.
O gee, not the intro. 🤦😑
Yes! Today it sounded like, “J-Lo’s Garage.” Jay is a national treasure. Long live Jay, our brother in auto appreciation!
Jay has definitely aged pretty hard lately. I feel like he’s on his way out.
@@dabearcub dude is ONLY 70. HUSH YO MOUTH !!! 😡
My favourite brand, always loved the 911s
This thing is a missile. Porsche continues to lead the pack in the sports car world.
Great content bro❤
Jay Leno the ultimate car guy with the ultimate collection . Keep going Jay !
Porsche has always been one of my favorite brands. My biggest "gripe" yet simultaneously my favorite thing about Porsche is the minimal amount of aesthetics they apply to each of their new models. They tend to keep it pretty traditional year after year, and while i applaud that, it also gets a bit boring trying to keep up with which model is which since they all mostly look the same. They also complicate things further with what they call the models/chassis (991, 993, 996, 992, 911s, L, E, 3.0, 3.2, T, all the dashes and dots, etc). The RS models all stand out within the lineup, but the 2023 911 GT3 RS seems to consist of enough change to stand out on it's own, yet keep the timeless "Porschesque" styling, so props for that!
Porsche know their audience and Porsche enthusiasts can tell them all apart with ease.
Volkswagen is doing a good job
It is interesting to look back at the past models and see how much they actually have changed. The steady schedule of redesigns then mid model refreshes does make it seem slow but when you look at two generations with one in between you really start to see the evolution and I like how it just keeps getting dialed in rather than changing something too radically that has become the longest running institution of a design in the industry. I'll contrast that wish something like the honda civic, which has changed rapidly in a shorter amount of time and some redesigns were more successful than others but what you have now versus 30 years ago is totally unidentifiable in design lineage. I know I'll probably get some flack for comparing the 911 to the civic but I think they are more similar than meets the eye as far as being utilitarian, focused, simple, mostly understated other than Gt/RS and Si/T-tech/R respectively and above all reliable cars. Really the biggest difference I can think of other than price and power is the drive train is reversed and non turbo civics actually dont have turbos.
Do you know when Porsche is bringing back a new GT2RS
Great interview
Patrick Long is a legend!
This car is great and all but I’d still take the GT3 Touring. That manual gearbox says it all and it’s an overall usable package.
LOVE THAT Porsche GT3 RS!!😍😍😍😍..AND THOSE MAGS!!🥰😍
One word - AMAZING
Great track car. I have been on the track with one of these while in my C6 Z06. These things are crazy fast. If I had the money....
Porsche is my supercar dream. Just because of their engineering of the 911. I watch a UA-cam channel called carwow and these guys put different 911 models against some cars and the 911 outperforms them.
Jay we cannot wait for you to get your hands on the Corvette E-Ray when its available. There's no other guy i'd rather see get the exclusive look.
Car sounds nice!
They should have made this Mid Engine before going Electric. If the GT4 RS is Insane, imagine this!
Two great guys and a Porsche - nothing better!
Jay is true legend and he have life
I love the ads. I only wish there were more of them. Thank you, UA-cam!
This car is going to be a classic someday. I'm sure somebody will build a business around making it cool again.
When will this car ever not be cool?
Won't happen. It will never not be cool.
@@memyself5337 Tastes change. Haven't you heard? I bet there are already people around who don't think it's cool. That didn't take long. The original air-cooled 911 was just another old used sports car for a while. In fact Porsche was thinking of dropping the 911 line at one time. But my original comment was just for fun. I like imagining a Singer type company making these new Porsches into something special 40 years from now. What's that you say? These cars are already special?! I give up. Commenting is hard.
The 2024 model will be a classic someday. The 2025 model will be a classic someday. The 2026 model will be a classic someday.
etc...
@@bernibeckmann9753 Didn't mean to sound aggressive. Sorry about that. I love 911's since I saw the 930's as a kid. In my eyes, a 911 will always be a classic. Cheers!
That's the one I want. Screaming Perfect downforce monster. Man.
