Sigmund Freud would probably be proud of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS PDK - 911 R combo, simply because the pair can be used as an instrument for psychological observation.
To be more precise, we've been keeping an eye on the various Rennsport 991s that have shown up across the world ever since the car was launched. And after 2017 911 R deliveries kicked off earlier this summer, we couldn't help but notice that GT3 RS owners have started removing their wings - heck, we brought you an example of this yesterday and here we are, showing you a similar adventure, this time coming from The Netherlands (hat tip to Autogespot for the pics).
Sure, the downforce-stripping move also happened in the past, but, judging by our simple observations, this is starting to turn into a trend now that the 911 R is among us.
After all, the two represent the opposite of the Neunelfer line-up when it comes to the extrovert-introvert appearance scale. While a five-year-old could tell a GT3 RS is an aggressive machine, the R, despite one-upping the Rennsport Neunelfer regarding the power-to-weight ratio, follows the understated path that has dominated the rear-engined coupe ever since its birth back in 1963.
We didn't mention the father of psychoanalysis by accident, as the "experiment" described in the intro can probably reveal a person's emotional awareness. For one thing, we've seen more than one aficionado who always praises manual transmissions stating he'd take the GT3 RS over the R.
And it's not difficult to understand that the cult car appeal of the GT3 RS is much stronger, even for car-trained minds, thus making the people we're mentioning here suddenly change their stick shift minds. And Freud was the one who changed our preconception that people make rational decisions on the majority of occasions.
We'll event take this fantasy one step further and imagine what would've happened if Edward Bernays, Feud's nephew, who used his uncle's teachings to found the field of public relations, had ended up staying in Austria, his home country and working for Porsche. Apparently, though, Zuffenhausen is doing pretty well on its own...
