With this have Porsche finally made a 911 faster than the Nissan GT-R round the Nurburgring?
Don't know, don't care, utterly irrelevant.

That is easily the best colour combo. Very nice.Rear scaffolding just looks a bit pants to me - cant help thinking you'd look a bit of an arse driving to the shops in it.

+1, flameproof suit on...A great track machine but you would just look like an utter tw*t parking it at Tesco. Not sure why you'd pay £20,000+ more for 15HP, a plastic rear window, Renault graphics and 18kg of scaffolding distributed high up in the car. If you're serious, get a Cup car FFS. If you're not a AAA+ driving god then you wont't be anywhere near noticing the difference v a normal GT3. Porsche's Marketing Dept at its most cynical IMHO

Who cares.It's not like you'll be walking down the street and someone will say "oh look, there goes that arse who drives a car with scaffolding in it". And even if they do, you'll probably never meet them again anyway.
Racing not posing.

My dream garage would have to have a Caterham, an Exige and some sort of classic, and a Ferrari 458, and... you get the picture. However I must say that whenever I think I'm working too hard I look at one of the RS wallpaper pictures and get back to work even harder. $$$ being available would go straight to the Porsche dealership.
I'm even warming up to that spoiler, and btw, how can anyone who loves cars think about what people in the street are thinking? Hell, when I'm driving my Cayman with a pax I have difficulty aknowledging or communicating with that person let alone think about strangers ouside the car!
This is surely worthy of "best car in the world" title no? :-)

Regurgitated, Clarkson quoted, drivel. Your missing the whole point of this car if you think its for shopping in. Trackdays, sunday morning hoons and autobahns only

£20,000 more... Did you actually read the review? Noticably better - and actually rides better than the standard GT3..

Some seriously dissapointing posts - but maybe not surprising. If you don't ike it save yourself 120k and don't go down to the dealer. Please accpet on the other hand that there are people on here both with and without deposits that are really excited by this car, it's a Porsche RS for crying out loud. This is an enthusiasts site too.......
If any grown man on here seriously cares about what Jo Public (re comments of scaffolding and graphics) thinks he looks like in his car then I suggest they take some self-esteem classes or something. Almost all negativity towards to material objects is nealy always borne out of jealousy anyway.
As for the price differential between this and the standard car, it is built in much more limited numbers and is a good deal more exclusive. The car is admittedly only subtly different driving wise and you are buying into the RS brand - I am definitely a subsriber that brand. We are all guilty of that in some way or another.
Cars like this won't exist in the future. Celebrate them. Here I come Tesco's
