I am obsessed with my 992 GT3RS, incredible car. As for all the haptic talk, I daily drive my Purosangue and at the begging it was a bit frustrating because I went from a semi analog UI to a digital one but once I got used to the new set up I really started to like it. Every single useful control/button is accessible from the back of the steering wheel without taking your hands off the wheel, absolutely love it, the haptics work well after the software update I recently had done but I hardly need to use them anyway because once you’ve set everything up the way you like it who’s really fiddling with the buttons 24/7? One thing to note, the dealer adjusted my haptic buttons to stay “on” all the time, initially I had to tap once to wake the touch pad up then tap to perform the function, that was frustrating because it’s counterintuitive, they have introduced that setting so you don’t accidentally touch the pads, I would contact the dealer and have the function removed if on it completely changed my experience. I saw a comment about the seat adjustment, my car has physical buttons on the side of the seat, isn’t that the case with most seats? Once you set it and saved it in the memory you are good to go. The amount of functions modern UI have is quite hard to achieve with physical buttons without your dashboard looking like a Christmas tree, having said that I still think that some buttons should be left alone.
My 911 GT3 Touring didn’t go for 992 Touring numbers where small on first generation, that said 992 Gt3 which I have is far better than 991 generation.. glad to see spice of life here on side not this place was awesome for Oysters…..bunch of friends on a rally we made Image Unavailable, Please Login
I tracked the car and it was really incredible but it’s not as loud as my GT4RS which I never thought I would ever say but I quite welcome it, the GT4RS is a bit too loud LOL
4RS intake noise is way too loud. Didn’t end up keeping mine very long in part because of that. Not only loud, but artificially loud (as in they tried too hard to make it so). Also, it would have better suited a manual transmission. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I agree, it’s very loud but I still love it, I don’t think I will ever sell it, it’s a very special car.
The GT4RS they directed the intakes in the cabin Im sure it makes you step on it a bit more enjoy in good health
Thanks. That was a couple growing seasons ago. You should have seen it recently before the summer weather burned in. I wish I would have taken some pictures.
Took delivery of our RS recently. It’s the first new supplied 3RS we’ve managed to get (had a number of delivery mileage 2nd owner cars though…pretty frustrating but didn’t lose too much on them, except 992 Touring). Couldn’t get PTS otherwise would have chosen Gulf blue. I think the classic original 3 RS spec is a decent 2nd on the 992. Long story on our European based 4 RS but it was also supplied new though I didn’t spec it. As it turned out, I absolutely love the spec and colour. Most likely I would have done the blue wheel thing over arctic grey but it would have been a mistake for me. The 3 RS was bought mainly for track and the 4 RS mainly road. It’s definitely the right way around. First impressions were better for the 4 RS, I think because I expected it to be too hard and loud. So far (only a few hundred kms) it’s neither. Whereas I expected to be able to slacken off the 3 RS, with its adjustable dampers, for the road. It’s still very hard, especially in the UK. Even at -4, -4. Our roads are just terrible. We’re a very overcrowded island these days. Not a political point, just a fact. The first 100 miles I wondered how I was going to get 932 break-in miles on the road. It has about 300 now and it seems to have settled down a little. Bearable is how I would now describe it and on some roads really good. The 3 RS is a brilliant, technical machine for delivering fast lap times and looks incredible. The 4 RS is a really fun, small (good) size, curvy road machine. Practical, good looking, old school and hits the spot much better than I expected. Again a story but we also have a Spyder RS coming in the UK that we didn’t spec, in shark with silver mag wheels. Although with it being a spider, where you have to commit to the weather - and Europe will be much better for that than the UK - you might ask what on earth were we thinking?! I think the advantage in the UK will be the relatively relaxed suspension, which might just make it a brilliant UK sports car. Small, occasionally roofless, supple and with a 4.0 cup engine on board. Could be the best of the lot! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I was going to spec my 3RS exactly like yours but I went for black and red, love the white but when in doubt I always tend to go black LOL Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I thought about black. It looks really good. By the time we spec’d ours, a number of the colours had been removed from the non PTS list. I knew I wanted red wheels so it was either White, black or arctic grey. I think they all look good on the 3 RS. I guess I thought white is a more traditional track Porsche colour.
Nothing prepares you for that wing! I knew it was big with countless pictures and videos under my belt. Then when I saw it, my first reaction was “oh wow, that wing is huge!!” We had a Senna but getting a GT3 RS allocation made up my mind to sell the Senna. It was the wrong car for a track - zero miles and full exposed carbon body. The 3 RS gives similar downforce levels in a much cheaper package and one I feel good about pounding around a track. Porsche offered a real step up with this car. Even if they don’t offer me another allocation in the future, this was the one I really wanted. Hopefully I’ll be able to do a lot of track time in it. Getting used to the same car, on different tracks, over a few years seems like a good thing.
LOL it's pretty crazy, I would DD the car if it weren't for the wing but still I absolutely love it, it would be nice if it had an extra 150HP but still I accept it as it is.
it's really not how it used to be from a driving perspective and a big factor in why newer cars with more power are less appealing - back in the transition between 355-360-430-458 the added power of each new model was a gigantic factor in desirability for me but since the 458/f8 I actually don't want more power due to the crazy amount of congestion on the roads. I also miss when motorways didn't have speed cameras
