2018 Porsche 911 GT3 POV Test Drive Will Give You 9,000 RPM Giggles

However, the always-rich Neunelfer line-up means we can always look away from the 700 hp twin-turbo animal. That's right, we're thinking of the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 and its naturally aspirated scream.

Despite the pricing difference between the two being understandable for Porschephiles, it's still amazing when you think that the GT3 costs about half as much as the $300,000 GT2 RS.

And if you're into track day giggles, there's no need to worry - with a Green Hell lap time of 7:12.7, the GT Division animal is still quicker than plenty of supercars.

Sticking to the more down to earth approach delivered by the GT3, we've decided to bring along a piece of footage that allows you to virtually get behind the Alcantara-clad wheel of the thing.

As such, the POV test drive clip at the bottom of the page offers a respectable sample of the Gen 2 GT3's might, from the vicious launch control to the 9,000 rpm PDK shifts.

We'll remind you that the real-world story of the 991.2 GT3 hasn't fully unfolded yet. And that's because we haven't had to occasion to step inside an example of the machine fitted with the Touring Package.

On paper, the TP is a mix between a wingless approach and a cabin treatment that replaces the Alcantara finish of the standard model, if we may call it so, with a leather approach.

Nevertheless, everybody who knows a thing or two about Porschas is well aware of the fact that Zuffenahsuen always knows how to differentiate its Neunelfer flavors, which is why we can't wait to play with the 2018 Porsche 911 Touring Package.
