Porsche 911 GT3 RS vs. 911 R Comparison Shows the Clutch-Banger Is Louder

The clutch special's production run makes the Rennsport Neunelfer seems less than the limited edition model that it is, since only 991 units of the R are being built.

Given the detail mentioned above, we don't get to show you a comparison involving these Porschas too often. Well, this is precisely what we want to show you today.

This R vs. GT3 RS comparo comes from Salomondrin, which means you shouldn't expect a technical approach. Instead, we're treated with a take that involves plenty of feelings and emotions.

Speaking of which, Alejandro (this is the actual name of the Vlogger) also mentions the McLaren 675 Longtail and, since he used to own such a Woking machine, it all makes sense.

Given the theme of this comparison, there's one aspect we want to focus on and that's the aural experience delivered inside the two rear-engined coupes. As it turns out, the R offers an even less diluted dB treatment than the GT3 RS and we're not talking about the latter's seamless PDK shifts here. Instead, we're referring to the overall level of mechanical noise inside the Porsches.

The overly subjective battle takes place on the streets of LA, but that doesn't mean the YouTuber steer clear of hooning the machines.

Before we invite you to head over to the "play" button below, we'll remind you this is the second time we bring the 911 R into the headlines today - this morning, we talked about Horacio Pagani visiting a Porsche dealership to take delivery of his three-pedal Neunelfer.
