The 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 is a brilliant Nurburgring, but do you know what other German machine makes for an awesome Green Hell tool? There are obviously many answers to that question, but, for now, we'll stick to mentioning the E92 BMW M3.
In fact, we're here to show you what happens when the two get together on the Nordschleife, doing what they do best, namely flying from one rumble-strip to another as quickly as possible.
That's right - a factory stock M3 would have no chance of keeping up with the 991.2 GT3 on the Ring, but the machine we're talking about appears to have been taken down the tuning route.
At least that's what we figured out after watching the piece of track day footage at the bottom of the page, which shows the Neunelfer chasing the Bimmer.
The Zuffenhausen machine is used as the camera car, which means you'll get to experience the 9,000 rpm scream of the new 4.0-liter motor at the back of the GT3. Sure, the V8 rumble of the M car would've also been sweet, but, given the fresh arrival of the flat-six Porsche soundtrack, we won't complain about this.
As always when it comes to blitzing a track, the tires make for one of the most important components and you might be wondering about the shoes of this 911. Well, you should know that the Porsche runs on Dunlop Sportmaxx Race 2 rubber.
As more and more 2018 GT3 owners take delivery of their cars, we should see these rear-engined monsters invading the Nurburgring.
For one thing, the 991.2 mid-cycle revamp was so generous that it allowed the GT3 to one-up the 991.1 GT3 RS regarding the Nordschleife number.
To be more precise, while the Rennsport Neunelfer needs 7:20 to get round the uber-tough circuit, the new GT3 can complete the task in 7:12.7.
