The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 basically defines what Porsche’s GT division can do right now. It’s as close to a racing car as a street-legal 911 can get, and it’s also one heck of a swan song for the 997 generation that has served its fans so well for a long time.
After eight years, Porsche phased out the 997 and this is how they said goodbye. They are only ever going to make 600 of these so you’d thing seeing one is pretty rare. But if you are going to point a camera anywhere at the German birthplace of all modern speed machines, the Nurburgring track, you’re going to see at least a couple.
But when Youtube user cvdzijden took his lens cap off, he caught not just two white examples, but also one black Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0. Their downshifts will surely put a smile on your face and a chill down your back. Oh, and by the way, the 4.0-liter block is the one that won LeMans, and it’s putting out 500 horsepower.
