2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Nurburgring Invasion Looks Like a Riot

Only a few months have passed since the first 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS owners started taking delivery of their cars. Then again, with this being one of the best tools for blitzing the Nurburgring, it shouldn't come as a surprise that plenty of examples have already hit the Green Hell.

In fact, we've brought along a compilation that showcases multiple examples of the Rennsport Neunelfer doing their thing on the infamous German track. Keep in mind that the footage we have here was captured during Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) events.

We can't talk about this without mentioning the jaw-dropping Ring lap time of the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. To be more precise, the Zuffenhausen machine managed to blitz the circuit in 6:56.4.

Sure, advances in tire technology deserve plenty of credit, but it's still amazing that the 3RS managed to one-up the all-mighty 918 Spyder - keep in mind that the hybrid hypercar set a Nurburgring lap record back in 2013, thanks to a 6:57 lap.

And the achievement is even more impressive if you think about the fact that the Gt3 RS packs a not-so-extreme 520 hp output.

Then there's the joy delivered by the machine - with its naturally aspirated motor, the Porscha allows the drive to easily balance the rear end while blasting through the bends. As for the soundtrack, this is probably the sweetest voice in the current Neunelfer lineup.

The examples os the track special showcased in the video come in various colors, from the vibrant Lizard Green that served as a launch hue to tamer shades.

Now, you'll notice one of the 911s being chased by hot hatches. This is a moment delivered by Ring Wolves. We came up with the term after noticing drivers who track-tune their machines and fly on the Ring, knowing the layout of the track like the back of their hands.
