- We do a first-look review on the new 992 Porsche 911 GT3RS. Most of the video explains the engineering and science behind one of the best sports cars of this generation. We detail the passion behind the car and how it translates to the driving experience. While price is usually an issue in the current market, the bigger question is, what is a future classic worth?

Hey, advertisers, videos with a lot of technical detail attract an audience that is more highly educated, probably wealthier, and most likely to actually want to buy this car. Porsche gives this channel a lot of access, other manufacturers should follow suit.
That only exists for Porsche.
I convinced my wife’s boyfriend to buy a 992 TTS because of this channel
I def want to get one because of these guys
I bought cars because of this chanell.
@@mateogala2183 wait, what?
Jason Cammisa's GT3RS/Z06/M4 CSL Lap battle, Doug Demuro's Huracan Sterrato review, AND a 30-min Savagegeese GT3RS review? The holiest of days
Those were yesterday
@@Youcallthesebagels_ They were all within a 24 hour span tho
DeMuro sucks 😂😂😂 don’t fool yourself
I wouldn’t say Doug Demuro does car reviews. He just shows what they are. He doesn’t really “review” them. He doesn’t even have the skill to push a Prius 10/10th’s, so yeah, I wouldn’t take what he says as anything special.
But nobody gives a damn about huracan
Savagegeese should have 1.6M viewers. I'm not the first to say this but this channel is just sublime. It used to just be technically amazing, then it was great filming and now they have earned the respect and access of Porsche factory engineers, drivers and management. What an amazing accomplishment by these guys. Bravo.
Yes sir! I enjoy it so much sometimes i go back and re-watch their old stuff (which i generqlluly don't do). Can't believe the channel has been around for so long.
Unfortunately they're a bit niche in the sense that they're very good at technical details. Like how if you suck at math some of 'engineering explained' might be too much for you, or if you dont know jack about cameras 'iPhonedo' might be too much, or if you dont know about processors and boards 'De8auer' might be too much. etc etc.
The average joe watches dougdemuro, or thestraightpipes or throttlehouse (i think they've surpassed the former in quality/entertainment imo), or the visual-porn that is hagerty's editing with Camisa, but I always appreciate and respect the finer details savagegeese brings, not many talk engineering down to the bolts, cuz at the end of the day, you want to know that if you own it, will it break down on you? They do deserve triple the subs but that's not how youtube works unfortunately, one car guy is doing countdown vids despite disliking them because algorithm.
@@Rob165xI don’t see how TH has surpassed TSP at all, they’ve got totally different feels from what I’ve seen and the only thing common is the Canadian factor lol. TSP feels like two regular guys, almost like Mark and Jack, who happen to be into cars, and TH feels like two professional hosts who happen to be into cars.
TH feels like less genuine to me but I guess it’s because they have to maintain the Top Gear-lite persona of their channel. I do think they have entertaining 3-way comparisons and drag races though, definitely a redeeming factor
You are *the* best in the world at highlighting what is great about this car. The audio, the visuals, the story. Each and everyone one you put out is like a high budget feature film. I don't know how you do it, but I have incredible respect.
Thanks for the kind words
Could not said it better myself!
I absolutely loved Mark's rant. "This car is about *feeling*" It's that summary that so succinctly demonstrates how Porsche is so connected to car enthusiasm at this time. It's that same sentiment that exists for all kinds of special cars through the eras. Thanks as always for sharing the engineering details and getting underneath the car to show why it's so different.
I love that not everything in the world has boiled down to a max profitability exercise on some ledger. To hear M. talking about this thing, and Jack looking like he's had a religious experience on his hot laps gives me hope that there are still people out there doing excellence for excellence's sake.
Sadly you just know most of these are going to end up in collections and never get driven.
Genuinely impressed by Jack managing to still present to camera while giving it a decent go around the track.
Thats the type of car I had posters of as a kid..
PS: Compliments on the insanely good audio and video quality on your videos, not a lot of people appreciate it, but I bet its a LOT of work.
I've said this for a good while now. I work in IT Support and as a car buff AND and amateur AV buff I'm constantly amazed and thankful for the production quality of the SG videos! This stuff is superior to a lot of what's on CATV!
. . . I'm looking at you "Street Outlaws"!
At least for audio quality, it's more just being careful with how you place mics and what kind of mics you use. Once you have a good setup and a kind of routine of what sounds good, it's more of a set it and forget it type thing. Video is more work to make look good for sure though.
Wow after watching the whole video in auto 720p without even thinking about it, I just went right back and rewatched it in 4k and was blown away by the level of detail in the track footage.
this GT3RS is something that truly represents the spirit of original RS.
- no cares for a normal human, no luggage space, only for speed
- no cares if you can't drive, the limit on this car is high for real drivers
- no cares for top speed, only for track purpose
i think most owners of this car will greatly regret buying it, and 5% of buyers will only actually like it
Most buyers of expensive cars put them into a garage and never drive them. This is true of most Ferraris, most supercars, most historically important cars. Porsche knows their customers and they know what percentage will drive the RS on track. A lot of buyers are racing drivers.
For a street car, you'd be better off buying any of the other 911 trims. However, as a track tool that you can drive to and from the track, there is literally nothing better on the market.
@@realbigtuna667 yeah nothing better LOL. Did you ever do "drive to a track and from track", while doing track weekend in between? This car is capable of doing only drive ON track part.
@@maximborodyuk3773 Oh nah it's you again. I've seen you hating on the 3RS in the Hagerty video too. Too much hate ain't proving nothing. You can absolutely drive the 3RS from your home to any racetrack you would like. Haters keep hating lmaoo
@@Vincent_Stevens you mistaken hate with asking questions. They literally have section names "pros and cons" and they didn't even mention any cons, as if it's not any. Even 991.2 RS owner here (few comments down in another section) underlined that he would never buy new one, because there is no way it's doable (at least without some extremes) getting to a track without a trunk.
Good luck driving to a racetrack for a weekend in a 3RS with a passenger, and getting back. Highly recommend actually doing this and than shouting nonsense.
It's car for the trailer, and for trailer you could buy GT3 Cup.
Cars like this are when engineering transcends into the realm of fine art, where every minute, painstaking detail matters to the people who work on it, and they work on it with every part of their being. What a machine.
"...this car is about feeling..." He's so right. The cars specs don't really matter. What matters is 'how does a car make you feel?' I drive a lowly 2007 Boxster 2.7 - an often maligned car amongst Porsche purists. But every time I drive it (on both city and fast backroad driving) it makes me smile. It makes me feel good. Isn't that what it's all about...
You guys are by and far the best car reviews on the internet. Your technical depth, explained in plain language- and the way you play off each other. Fantastic work guys.
I was never a huge Porsche guy always thought they were a bit over rated. But as I have gotten older I have realized they are the last of a dying bread these cars are AMAZING!
I normally don't watch videos about cars I'll never come close to owning, but I make an exception for this channel. Absolutely love this video and especially those closing comments. You guys are the GOAT!
Never thought control arms could be aero, that is such a cool detail! Porsche really went all out on engineering as always. Love it.
You never seen flat arms in Formula 1 cars?
@@llavero5 Yeah but F1 cars are full open-wheel, it's not something you really consider in a car with even semi-closed fenders.
Everything that interacts with airflow is important.
Yes the downforce added by the control arms seemed very high. They are directing airflow with aquaducts over the control arms and then under the car through the diffuser. The aero on this car is far more advanced and effective then a GT3 race car from 20 years ago.
@@BurnsRubber ¿seemed very high? probably dont add any downforce, only is a very small teardrop for reduce aero drag.
Soon official record holder on the Nürburgring. Who's going to stop this thing? OT: the best review I've seen from the Geese. No-one goes this deep into a technical analysis of a car and you can feel the passion through the video. Very well done, what a way to enter the weekend!
A future ZR1 might but who knows when that’s coming
@@professorfinessor5363 I’m guessing by 2025 the zr1 is going to be here. 2024 is for the e ray, 2025 is for zr1 and 2026 is for Zora
it's already had a run on a Ring, it's far from being overall record holder despite years of testing and gazillion tries.
Its a nice car, but theres only so much that can be done starting with a 911 shell, having it be EU and US street certified, and a "measly" 500-ish horsepower. It goes really well taking those things into account.
I will likely pass most of them driven on the `ring with my tow rig diesel BMW though... food for thought.
An EV of some kind lol. the hagerty video from a few days ago at willow springs, this thing is only 3 seconds faster than an s plaid family sedan with probably crappy brakes and tires.
Great video Mark and Jack. Thank you Porsche!! Thank you designers, engineers, and project managers that push to develop and improvement the best that can be.
Watching and listening to you two discuss this car it's the first time I've not thought it looked like an absolute mess for idiots to show off with, instead the technology behind it seems absolutely fascinating to me now.
??? Are you serious? Have you never watched a single gt3 race in your life?
@@beautyisontheinside this particular GT3 RS I'm on about. I think it looks dreadful.
@@beautyisontheinside I have not
@Michael Goodwin this car wasn't developed for you in mind...
@@beautyisontheinside gt3 cup events are usually filled with people who will be overtaken by a hick in his c6 z06 on any given day.
You guys dunk on most car media. It’s a real treat. Keep up the awesome work!
This is by far the best review of this car… they really explain what you are getting for your money, even Porsche sales people in showrooms could not provide this level of detail, they are to busy looking for your Swiss watch brand..
As always, well done gentlemen. You guys make consistently exceptional content. Thank you!
I wanted to save this video for consumption with my cherished Saturday morning cup of coffee. Mark and Jack never disappoint. I really appreciate the technical dives which takes a lot of time to compile and it shows. These special vehicles deserve it and it's a tribute not only to the car and brand but truly a tribute to the hard working engineers behind the metal and carbon. Thank you guys!!!
Honestly I must say your guys production and the chemistry between you is awesome! It’s a great recipe… thanks for your hard work and passion. It’s clear to see from the videos you make that you live this! 😎
I’ve a 2022 718S. Each time I look at it in my garage, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. I will have this car forever.
I have a friend that owns a 991.2 GT3. He tracks it as much as he can and is quite good as a non-pro driver. As Mark said -- for him, this would be a no-brainer.
Your Porsche videos are the reason why I have such a new found respect and admiration of Porsche sports cars. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. This one was special.
This channel is exactly what my mind needed. Engineering, technology, cars, I can only be thankful that I found you. Fun fact, out of the 3 track cars I have actually driven, the GT3RS is the cheapest and the best. Sorry Mclaren 765LT and sorry Huracan STO
Just to let you know, watching this on my iPad and I touched the screen as the episode was ending. Immediately I backed up the vid and watched the track footage again. My iPad was vibrating with the sound of the engine. Went from watching and listening to a whole other experience! Nirvana!
I had the chance to ride along in a 2009 GT3 RS at Watkins Glen and I also had to tell the driver to pull into the pits because I was getting badly car sick almost instantly. I didn't make to lap 3. Never happened before and hasn't happened since. Something about the speed this car changes direction just messes with me if I'm not behind the wheel.
Absolutely Incredible Machine
Jack's wild cackle at 18:06 pretty well sums the whole thing up. Phenomenal review!
Man did anyone else notice at the end of video with their driver behind the wheel the Tach was almost entirely between 6-9000 rpm the whole time ?! Says alot about the driver, the car, and the engine! Amazing stuff.
Might be my favorite of your videos. The POV cam was off the charts.
I have new respect for this channel, this is the best GT3 video to date
I love the technical detail SG provides. That and the production quality, access to the OEM engineering staff makes this a truly special channel.
Once I saw this video was posted , I made sure to light some candles , maxed out the volume on my surround sound , with a big juicy steak and indulged in such an elegantly constructed technical review ! Phenomenal work fellas !
Masterful video. What the Porsche engineers have done is nothing short of amazing.
Incredible Breakdown
I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s all about feeling. My first Porsche I drove was a 1990 911 Carrera 4. I can still can to this day remember how I felt driving that car. I remember saying I like this car.
I will never get to experience this car behind the wheel, let alone get the privilege to see it person. This video is as close as I'll ever get, and I get goosebumps watching and listening to it.
Thank you for making these videos they are amazing.
Hope you'll be able to drive a Lotus Emira if you haven't already. Would love to know how the Emira stacks up against a similarly priced 718 and low price 911. (I only throw in the 911 because of the rear bias weight distribution).
There's an enormous support network for Porsche and a strong aftermarket. I would be concerned about Lotus ownership outside of the UK.
@johnfromaccounting1715 while true it's very difficult for most people to get any GT product unless you're a previous customer or have connections
@John from Accounting thankfully I have a dealership near me. So not too much worry there. And as far as aftermarket, I hesitate to say I would want to modify either a Porsche or a Lotus at all. I have a Focus RS for the mod addiction instead. And might some day soon get into motorcycles....
Give Lotus a year or two to iron out the kinks. Harry Metcalfe (of EVO) has an Emira and loves it, but notes there have been a few bugs.
The 718 is the best handling car I’ve ever driven, but it is expensive for what it is. Porsches are great, but they have quirks and flaws just like any car. You are paying for the capability and engineering. You can feel the engineering in a Porsche and that’s why I love them.
Great video!
I once had a Mustang with stiff, racy suspension and wide, sticky tires. Passengers got sick all the time. Something about the quick change of direction isn’t so comfortable for the passenger. Who knew?!
This channel always cover a level of details that no other channel does.
By far the best car review of the technical GT3 RS.
I love that it still has an analog tach. A big part of the driving experience to me is that “ceremony to redline”. The visual of it racing to redline with the audio to back it up. 😍..Porsche is at the top of the game these days.
As always, well done gentlemen.
The audio clarity driving the car around the track is phenomenal. The car itself is bananas. It's a car geeks dream to get a green lit project. Earlier you said you asked the engineers why you are there at a press launch for the car? The answer is mundane : it's cause Porsche are car people. And what do all car people want outside of drive their cars? Want to be around others who can appreciate their cars. You and a few select other reviewers have the moxie and... Ability to appreciate the level this car exists at. It's a high high honor. This car will be a dream and likely never realized. But I can live it through you and types like Randy Pobst. Thank you Mark and Jack and the Savage geese team and thank you, Porsche, for allowing us the swansong of ultimate untainted ICE motoring enthusia!
Arguably the best video on this car...thanks guys!
First time commenting.
Amazing car, as well as this was a great review. Awesome job guys.
Got chills watching the final thoughts
Finally someone who reviews cars and it isn’t all about 0-60 numbers
Nobody does these detailed look at the engineering of cars like you guys.
Your tech dives are becoming LEGEND. Hope we get to rub elbows at an event in the future. Really admire what you guys are doing. Awesome stuff!
Thank you for this video.
Honestly you guys do these types of reviews far different than most other car reviewers. I hope you videos continue to get more views because it really is deserved. I also appreciate the fact that Mark and Jack are open about their bias with certain brands or cars. Not a lot of reviewers do that either (I can call out a few YTers that annoy me to death).
A little story, I'm pretty well connected with my Porsche dealer and got the chance to drive both a 992 GT3 and GT4RS to their garage... in middle of Downtown LA rush hour traffic. Which gave me a very good idea of how street-able these cars are and there is no question how rough the 4RS is for regular driving but it was exciting even on low speed due to the engine and intake behind your head. 992 GT3, in comparison was comfortable but the engine was noticeably muted and a bit boring actually on low RPMs.
With the amount of customizing ability for the 992 GT3RS, you can definitely make the car easier to deal with for regular driving, easing up the compression for the suspension. That's kind of nice.
All the great engineering, the driving capabilities and more aside, it's just a damn beautiful car. I love the look of it.
I usually like more simple cars and hate when manufacturers make cars too flashy, but knowing that everything is for a purpose and not just for show is a kind of simplicity in itself and makes me fall in love with this car.
Owning a Porsche GT3RS and a home with a race track in your backyard. That is the dream right there.
pls keep these highly technical reviews going. no one else covers cars better
Best outro of any video. Naturally aspirated perfection. ❤
Favorite video you have ever done by far. Proud to be in your patreon group.
Thank you for the video! I love the detailed slides of the technical data! It's golden
Just hearing you guys talking of this car and see how passionated you get could make any carguy fall in love with this incredible Porsche. I know i am, now i just need the money...
You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for making this video. Your guises channel is so special, you guys deserve to be multimillionaires.
Superb video guys!!! Love the mix between technical (objective) and emotional (subjective) stuff... Big thanks from Mexico City. BTW, loving the Metal Gear Solid reference in the "Game Over" screen... you should have used the "!" audio cue when the camera was watching Mark struggling... and Jake yelling afterwads: "Mark, are you OK?, Maaaark, Maaaaaaark!!!!"
Snake!
@@savagegeese Raiden? Raideeen!..
You guys get cars at their basic level. The final thought segment hits the point of this car perfectly. Keep the great content coming!
This is one of the cars I would have in my dream collection. What an achievement. When will Porsche bring out the 992 GT2 RS?
It is set to become the most powerful and fastest accelerating road-going variant of the famed 911 sports car yet when it is launched in 2026, according to insiders at Porsche's headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
2026
I hope it does something more than just sticking a tuned Turbo S engine in the GT3 RS. But knowing Porsche it will probably become one of the most desirable sport cars.
That lap with Jorg 💪🏼 And MEIN GOTT the aero details 😍
Absolutely stellar video! Just trying to help out the algorithm
I don't care about these cars in the least but I still enjoyed he technical bits and the Savage Geese experience is enough to make it through the video. Well done
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you guys are next level!
I love your videos that go into the technical and interviews with the engineers and development teams. Reminds me of the Miata series you guys did.
THE best car show of all time, UA-cam or Television. Keep it up guys!
As a ham and egger that owns a ZL1 1LE with a lot of stuff done to it ....That is one bad ass car!!! Thanks guys
Idk how this channel doesn't have at least 5M subs....
That’s the best gt3 rs review I have ever seen. Good job guys.
Porsche's drive to perfect their art pieces for the right purpose is what always separate them from others. They're the definition of driver's pleasure. They will just keep improving until they cannot produce them anymore. There might be a 911 GT3RS that will sell for millions of dollars in the future and I'm not gonna be surprised. My God I want one so much.
Final thoughts were amazing, thank you Jack and Mark. Well done!
I’m so happy to be a small part of the Porsche family.. Those guys know how to build a driving specimen.
That 4.0 liter sounds like the voice of angels. A close second to the LFA.
The ending scene was dreamy, especially with the sound of driving on the apex.
Hagerty releases the Z06/M3 CSL/911 GT3RS track test, engineering explained drops a Z06 video, and savagegeese drops a GT3RS video, all within a couple of days? Fantastic. Even better, all 3 of them cover very different areas, so it isn't just one of those 3 different UA-camrs quote the same source and give the same information things that happens with viral videos or press releases. I've learned so much about these cars from early speculation and leaks to current day testing and videos like these, and I couldn't be happier with where these cars are at right now. (alright maybe I'd be happier if they were selling at MSRP, but I'm not gonna get my hands on one anyway)
Yep ! One of the reasons i love my NC Mata so much. Such a great car to drive.
How much will these sell for? $500,000.00? A dealership by me wants $306,000.00 for a GT4 RS.
Great content. Comprehensive, interesting and fun.
With these levels of money printing it will be 1kk in couple years.
the government wants $900k for a GT4RS here in Singapore 😂
This Channel honestly has such a high level of detail. Nerdy at insane level and I love it
Great vid and enjoyed the detail
Glad manufacturers show you the respect you deserve more and more these days.
This is the best advertisement Porsche could which. If I was in the market for such a car, this video would be of extreme value and would probably convince me of buying the GT3 RS instead of any other.
16:32
Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaake!
This is quite possibly the greatest video I’ve ever seen
Love the driving part at the end
The camera shake while kerbing is so authentic
great video! thank you guys as always!
This is the best car channel on UA-cam.
What I love about this car is it's designed purely for driving pleasure. Yes, it's absurdly fast and capable, but it doesn't care about numbers, just the joy of flying around a racetrack. Everything nowadays is so watered-down and homogenized, it's so refreshing to see a company do this kinda car for enthusiasts. Sadly, 95% of these cars will never see a track. But those 5%, I salute.
I’ve seen a bunch of GT3RS videos drop, this is by far the best because the geese put this car into perspective of what it is. While I’m not a buyer of this car today, I will hopefully be in about 3-5 years.
Love it! Thanks for the deep dive into the technology. Watching this car beat a Corvette ZO6 on track is exhilarating. But seeing the engineering that makes that possible is illuminating.
Amazing video as always hats off. Cannot imagine how the GT3RS drives and down fierce sounds crazy. Don’t go teasing me with that NSX stuff, cannot wait for that.
Phenomenal review! You guys have taken it to the next level. Genius presentation! Viva to Porsche for upping its game every time and still being a superb drivers sportscar. Love that naturally aspired 4.0L 🔥
You guys are at the top of the game. Only Porsche could produce such a work of art. In 10 years ai will be driving the cars around the track for you. But it will NEVER get this good. Period.
Another exceptional review! You guys deliver the most complete and natural reviews. Keep it up!
I just love your videos its like im watching a podcast about things I love which is cars and everything
A true “race car” for public roads.
How is it in heavy traffic, roads filled with potholes
It's not FOR public roads, rather "public roads compliant".
@@rosgoncharuk2403fair point. Perhaps “street legal” race car would’ve been better
A race car for the road that’s only going to be utilized maybe 15% of its capability. A race car that will most likely never see a race track. Take it for me, used to work for Ferrari during the release of the 430 Scuderia, most of our clients never raced their cars, let alone drive it. We had one client drive the car in the manner for which it was created and it was a joy removing that racing tarmac from the bodywork.
Jack's cackling @15:25 made my shitty week a great week. Y'all are the best.
