Default Porsche 997 GT3-RS

Saw one of these monsters in Derby on Friday afternoon. Was just filling up at a Shell station and it pulled up next to me. Absolutely stunning, and it really took off when I followed it towards the A38.
Was exactly the same colour combo as in the picture below.

I wish eventually that some small manufacturers (like Noble for ex) could make
cars as well built and develped at this GT-3. Then a driver wouldn't feel
like he was driving a huge piece of jewerly round his/her neck at every turn.
Too loud too brash too much attention.

Without doubt Porsches finest car for many years........

I love the car - its a beaut but the orange colour is really sickly in my opinion and a bit over stated for the rest of the car. Takes away its class.

Is it legal to tape people without their permission? Great car mind. Agree with the white comments, given the chance to choose

The first one is a 996 GT3RS...... a different car to a 997 GT3RS both in body form (wide body - 997 vs narrow body 996) and road manners - ie on the road .....

Spent some time filming for Porsche and the 996 GT3 RS, hell of a car beautiful to look at and a great drivers car (in the right hands), very impressed with the 996 GT3RS, not seen the new on in the flesh yet.

They managed to capture the feel of the 70's cars with hints of the colour schemes and graphics in a real quality way.
