2019 Porshe 911 GT3 RS Chasing Mitsubishi Evo on Nurburgring Has a Hard Time

Before we move any further, we have to explain that the two are extremely different animals. In stock condition, a 991.2 GT3 RS like the one we have here needs just 6:56 to blitz the circuit, which means its way quicker than the Evo IX (this is the car the Porscha met on the track).

However, the technical layout of the Ring and the hefty pricing difference between the two means overtaking isn't always easy, especially since the Japanese toy's all-wheel-drive means this can pull some staggering corner exits.

And with the Evo being dressed in Red and the Neunelfer coming in Lizard Green, its launch color, the encounter was even more spectacular.

The 3RS vs Evo action can be found at the 2:35 point of the video. Nevertheless, the rest of the clip is also worthy of your attention, with this being dedicated to the highlights of the public session that took place last Sunday. For instance, you'll get to see what appears to be a restored Porsche 356 being driven on the Nordschleife, with the machine being in mint condition and using a retro-splendid color.

Sadly, the final part of the clip showcases the Porsche 911 GT3 fire we've covered earlier this week. It's worth noting the Zuffenhausen machine engulfed by the flames was a 991.1 model, with this having been recalled due to fire risk.

Nevertheless, no fresh info on the matter has surfaced and, since we're not aware of the vehicle's particular details, such as its maintenance or potential tuning, we can't jump to conclusions.
