As you can imagine, when you get yourself a Porsche 911 GT3, motoring activities become easily addictive, with the Neunelfer having the power (not talking about the 475 horses) to transform your life.
Korean GT3 PDK owner "SunBro" decided to record all the adventures he and his GT-division rear-engine machine went through after he received his machine early last year. Little did he knew that all the footage and pictures would end up serving as a letter to his deceased mechanical love the following year.

Last month, SunBro's Red GT3, which he had nicknamed Ketchup, unfortunately passed away in a fiery crash that simply devoured the supercar. The man, who luckily survived the accident, decided to come up with a Youtube way of showing his Zuffenhausen machine that this will forever be remembered, and you can find the video at the bottom of the page.

The clip explains all the good times the two went through, be they on the road or the track, with SunBro behind the wheel or with him enjoying a pretty girl driving his car.

It also shows us dashcam footage (from both inside and outside the car) of the crash, which was nothing short of teryfying, from the way in which the GT3 spun across multiple lanes, to its combustion-led end - not that the accident appears to be the result of the owner's hooning, not being linked to the engine fire recalls that affected early 991 GT3s. And we must warn you, this video is not for the faint-hearted.

And speaking of GT3s that are no longer among us, we'll remind you this 911 derivative has been off the Porsche website for months now. That's because the Germans are almost ready to give us the 991.2 version of the octane behemoth.

The most important change brought by the mid-cycle revamp will be the return of the clutch pedal, with the GT3 getting the 911 R's six-speed manual as an option. And while Porsche is keeping us busy with the 7:38 (yep, Nurburgring) 2017 Panamera Turbo these days, we haven't forgotten those 991.2 GT3 spyshots.
