Mid-life crisis car for guys in their mid 40s with baldspots. Uncool.

 

[AudiMan2011]

A big step on from the 997, but you'll still look like a prat driving one, especially an RS.

Uncool.

 

[Jahgee]

Doesn't have the stupid stripes on the side, so Meh

 

[Dagger311]

Cool.

 

[Adamgp]

Cool.

 

[Sage Ages]

Avalible from the factory in purple.

Yeah, I miss the old RS paint too.

 

[Roger the Horse]

In 2054, a Dairy Milk GT3 RS will be the coolest thing on the road. It's 2015.

 

[All Your Base]

People would think you're a spoiled boy racer when stepping out on one of these things. Uncool.

 

[CarBastard]

After an awful argument with Clarkson, Richard Hammond would think it's seriously cool.

So it's seriously uncool.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I've said multiple times that I don't like 911's. This car is a toy and would only attract people who are genuinely up themselves. Uncool

Uncool. You pay more to get less.

Clarksonisms...

That's like complaining that a block of carbon fiber costs more than an equally sized block of wood. You'd have to be an idiot to think that Porsche is just throwing out the rear seats and raising the price.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Looks less anorak'y than the old GT3 (less high viz decals). To the man in the street, it may as well be another 911.

Cool.

 

[Stotty]

Fabulous cars, but not cool.

Uncool. You pay more to get less.

Are you being serious, or just trolling?

RS has the wide body from the turbo, composite panels, 4.0l engine, motorsport crank, wheels from 918, as well as numerous different suspension components.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Another Porsche that's not in the unique family of classics such as the 914 and the Carrera GT..

BOOORING

It would be cooler if it was a RUF or a 9ff.

So, they raided motorsports parts bin to make an expensive kitcar.

You should see doctor about that.

As stupid as it may sound, between the manual trans, looks and the rawness of the 997.1 GT3RS, I think this can't get to those levels of badassery. However, it's pretty amazing how close they've gotten it to a street legal racecar. As someone else said, you can also get it in purple. Those last two things are probably uncool for many, but to me a purple street legal racecar is cool as hell.
Cool.

Wrong model, that's the turbo.

 

[Famine]

The same applies to knickers.

 

[Danny]

Por..

Uncool.




Brilliant and dear God I'd love one, but in no way cool.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

The same applies to knickers.

Ah, but in case of the knickers, it's usually desired feature, is it not?

 

[Thomas__633]

A Y62 Patrol costs 110k and weighs 2.8 tonnes.
A One:1 costs 3M (roughly) and weighs 1.4 tonnes.

So therefore you are paying more to get less in the One:1, are you not?
Also I wish to point out that the Turbo S is almost as fast as the 997 GT3 RS and is 100 times better to drive for the 50 year old heart surgeon that just bought it.

 

[TexRex]

Turbo S is almost as fast as the 997 GT3 RS

In a straight line or where it really counts? I'll also point out that this isn't a 997.

 

[Thomas__633]

It is more powerful... I meant on the street at least, because the GT3 RS would be much harder to drive with a RR drivetrain for a novice than a smoother AWD Turbo S.

 

[TexRex]

It is more powerful... I meant on the street at least

More powerful on the track too, but that doesn't mean it's more capable (faster) on the track.

 

[Zenith]

You seriously want to tell me that the GT3 RS is less desirable to you than something like the Carrera 4 Cabriolet? That thing is loaded with features, weight, heft, and bulk. Mmmm more is better.

Honestly that would explain a lot of the posts you make...
