With the 991.2 generation, the Porsche 911 GT3 has become even more hardcore. We're not just talking about the all-new engine or the massive Nurburgring lap time improvement (the thing is now quicker than the GT3 RS), but also about the soundtrack and the overall tune of the Zuffenhausen hero.
But can the Gen 2 GT3 still be case in the role of a daily driver? Well, pro racer Oliver Webb has recently set out to prove the practical side of this Porscha.

While you might expect the athlete to have taken the GT3 for a trip around the continent, allow us to point out that the steering wheel wielder went for a completely different approach.

Instead of slipping into the driver seat of the 991.2, Oliver decided to... fall asleep inside the frunk of the thing. We are kidding you not - jump to the 10:10 point of the clip below and you'll notice the stunt.

It's worth noting that the pro driver went all the way - while other aficionados that have pulled such stunts considered that climbing inside the trunk was enough, Oliver went all the way, getting locked in.

Speaking of daily driving, the clip will bring you into the YouTube review side of the world wide web and you'll get to see plenty of driving impressions.

We're looking at the first example of the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 to have landed in the UK. And, since the rear-engined animal is dressed in Miami Blue, you'll be in for quite a visual experience.

Nevertheless, since the Neunelfer only had 500 miles on its odo at the time when this adventure was caught on camera, you shouldn't expect the kind of all-out giggles delivered by other GT3 videos we've brought to you - here's an example that involves drifting, one that will help you get your hooning kicks.
