Top Gear’s Speed Week: Chris Harris vs Porsche 911 R

[Phooey]

Apologies if repost. He clearly prefers the new 4.0 engine and box to the old 3.8 Mezger. It just makes me want one even more

Talked to a Porsche engineer. They are testing a more broadly available R-successor model. It runs interally under the "911T" (for Touring) moniker but for the launch naming might still change. It will have a substantially uprated R/RS engine plus

Could reinvent the T/R.. https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/they...

Like it hope get back into a GT3 road car ( only have Race cars sadly ) after a few years break and it looks simple and clean which is nicer ....

I think this could be the best GT3 yet!? Next-gen uprated engine. Manual option (?) Stunning looks and road presence (IMO) latest PCM / Airplay etc (not a biggie for me but nice to have). And anything else that improves on the already brilliant 991.1



Would still like to see 5 lug wheels, wing delete, and rear seats
