4K ENG SUB | MULDIX: 911 992.2 GT3 IS HERE!
it's the first time there's been two GT3s introduced together a new car carries a lot of things from both the RS and the S/T with lighter wheels 1.7 kg on each aluminium wheel in the base wheels and in offer as part of the premiere packages are also magnesium ones which save a total of 9.1 kg of unsprung weight aerodynamics of cooling and steering have been changed the car's transmission and brakes have been re-worked and even the engine itself has been redesigned and given a sharp cam with the chassis kinematics are also different including structural changes to the front axle to introduce by 2025 a new GT3 as we, petrolheads really wanted was simply not an easy task, and did they succeed? Of course they did my friends and the lineup we see here you will not be lucky enough to see in a single lifetime, absolutely all of GT3s in one single place together So we can start in the year 1990 Mezger 3.6 litre 360 horsepower, lightweight car car great in the hand and when I look inside I see the seats originally from the gt1 So hats off to you and just a short one This is something.
incredible. We're moving on to the next car. 996.2 engine boosted to 381 horsepower and the first ever Carbon Ceramic brakes. I'm glad we have them here. The car looks a little different with them and I think we can both agree that both 996 over the course of 25 years specifically in the case of the first car have matured in an incredible way again.
A quick check of the interior the car incredibly beautifully crafted, smelling divine at the same time test of this car by the way in the clubsport variant we have already given you on the MM Automotive channel Yeah, it's going at a amazing way above those 6000 rpm so I recommend it here you can watch it, it is definitely worth it, let's go on to 997 a gorgeous specification, amazing colour again carbon ceramic brakes engine still mezger 3,6 l 415 hp a little bit bigger car when I see them side by side here but to be honest, how i felt about the 997.1 before especially from the back, I didn't like it that much. the car is now almost 20 years old or Actually, it's 20 years old. Sorry, it's maturing. in a unbelievable way at the same time it's a car with a great steering and every one of you Who had the opportunity to drive any 997 not specifically a GT3 knows very well what I'm talking about GT3 on top of that adds an extra portion of precision to this car The 997.2 is the last generation that had Mezger engine, it's also a car that in my eyes, it's currently of the older ones the best looking GT3 ever, engine in this case, it's got more displacement a total of 3.8 liters, power 435 horsepower still only
manual gearbox but beware for the first time center-lock nuts and one of the best shifters a man can ever experience because shifting with this car, just by stepping on the clutch is an amazing experience. Now we go to basically the present day, we've got 991, 3.8L but it's no longer a mezger because that unfortunately you could say was at its peak in the limited edition 4.0 in the former generation.
again, the center-locks, for the first time ever rear wheel steering, 9,000 rpm 475 horsepower and a car that I think when you look at our production you know that we already know very well this beast and I can show you one funny thing. I've had it for a good few years in my phone as a wallpaper this exact car right here, the reason is absolutely simple, I always try to have there a car that I'm basically able to drive whenever I want and that 500 horsepower 4L, 9,000 rpm particularly sorted powertrain plus the rear-wheel steering, which is again modified and the RS chassis parts from this thing makes it one of the most fun cars I've ever driven in my "journalistic career" it's an amazing thing, and I mean, excuse me, one thing. we're missing the 991.2 generation, which for the first time ever had a Touring variant, that is, a car without the iconic rear wing.
That isn't here, but watch out in 992 we have it here, 510 horsepower absolutely stunning car in manual, by being a a manual, the GT3 gets a slightly different rear differential, so to speak. and is a bit easier to drive so to speak. And when I see it like this. if it wasn't for the new creatures, I'll admit I probably wouldn't have thought it was necessary for a new car to even be made because it looks so incredibly modern and beautiful Friends, these are all generations Porsche 911 GT3 from '99 up until present and behind me there is leaving the lineup of the very latest ones, we're going to drive in a moment and honestly I can't wait I'm incredibly happy that this is happening and we're going for it We will get the opportunity to talk deeply about the car later, which means now we're going to be strictly limited to my subjective impressions of the new car, I'm really excited and very curious about it. And it's true they really changed the feedback around the center position. Recalibrated the power-steering software, it is the thing I did not really like on the 992 GT3 when it came actually I didn't like so much because the car was too sharp around the center position and when you maybe didn't know it or if you were coming back from a countersteer, you had to be very precise Yeah. It's different
I'm sorry I'm not talking. It's my first lap around Valencia, then we'll go faster, so I'm just trying to focus on getting a feel for the track As quickly as possible, not really complicated but as soon as one builds up some speed then the complexities will naturally appear, so I'll limit myself again I repeat to just my impressions wonderful feeling from the brakes amazing brake feel really pleasant from the steering wheel different from the old one the car is a lot smoother Honey-like Well, Jesus, that's so good. Circuit in Valencia Is beautifully flat, it's so good to look around It's just a shame it's so wet.
So it doesn't look like it, but it's slippery. and you need to get on it very gently but what i was worried about was the throttle response with those four catalytic converter, and pair of OPFs, and I have to say, the gas pedal is still as telepathic as we remember And which we really love because you can be friends with this car. 9000rpms, 3 2 1 now, Yes lets go That's it. That's it. That's it. It's tipping into the corner beautifully. The instructor's car doesn't have new tires like we do as he said at the beginning, so he's dancing on the the exits And here you can see what a difference are tires doing, yeah at the moment Porsche instructor is not able to pull away from me in the RS because he simply has wrong tires and we can push him, Well I am a bit scared here, I don't know how it works here.
The braking point is somewhere around here and it's beautifully stable under the brakes, that thing, I have to say, like, amazingly stable under the brakes. it's like it's really slippery the asphalt like brutal in a way that I didn't, like I've been driving this car for 7km because the circuit here was opened in 1999 it's 4 km now we're halfway through or in two-thirds of the way through the second and I don't know it here. Yeah, he's going there. Halfway through, second lap I know what it's gonna do and that I can get the hell on it I can count on it. great awesome awesome awesome I'm home here. Well, it's still just...
Same song, In 2025 presentation of a new car that gives you chills in which it can be beautiful and drive it in a beautiful way. In a way to push the car on the exits in a totally fantastic way with telepathic throttle atmospheric 4-litre monster behind you Jesus, that's good. Now of course we've got another journalist in front of us, we're not pushing as hard so we have time to talk a little bit more about feelings from the car and it's... like it's more subtle it's more sensitive amazing feedback through the steering thanks to that you can trust it like this is what I like, late apex everywhere nice after the throttle, nice neutral rear as far as Porsche stability settings so Of course, we're a bit wider here so it's set up again fantastic. That is, as long as you're driving good the thing doesn't knock you through your fingers at all, it doesn't eliminate you at all.
somehow out of the game, but on the contrary, it we're rotating beautifully. He's dancing. That's beautiful. I hope you'll see it on the camera how the poor guy's trying to catch that RS when I'm on his back with the new beast.
It's awesome, I gotta say. Yeah. At the same time, I'm pretty sure that on a circuit like this this new RS if you will have equipped similarly like it's just not far away anymore. because the amount of mechanical grip , tire setup stayed the same we have 255 in the front 315 in the back Hey, I gotta say. it's just a softer car in terms of the system that actually prevents diving of the front end so it actually stays like perfectly drivable.
I'm enjoying it very much This is an amazing opportunity, I feel like, Mr. Instructor in some corners he goes to the inside really early like he doesn't trust the tires, I understand, but the way the car loses a little bit in the entry, yeah. The important thing is that it's great and actually we had a really nice ride actually, shorter gearing. if they hadn't told me that, yes, the car now you can feel that actually feels a little bit faster although it's a It's a thing that seems Because of course, the gear is going to finish a little bit earlier I can show you the graph I took pictures It's not something that would bother me or shock me or anything eh, actually, look, let's see, we've got 4th, 90 kph.
Now four. Five Three four, five have to rev up second I'm not sure if I will be able to. 2nd is barking at exactly 113 kph. so it's just not 120 something anymore. Really good driving did you hear that MM Automotive no? We know:). No no it is
Of course, a great honor. Thank you for that. Nice and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Now I'd like to see what kind of the way Jörg Bergmeister drive this new car on the Cup2 R although as we've already we were saying, unfortunately it's wet and it's pretty slippery. but it's like fine. Well, I'll have a ride. I'm not gonna lie if someone offers you a ride.
with a guy who's won a 911 like one of the most in the world, you can let a ride on the Cup2 R and that car is I'm not gonna lie, it's actually visible from here Here it is right next to us it has a different geometry on the front it's got much bigger more negative camber So you're not gonna say no, you know? This is my Experience for the first time ever Circuit de Valencia I have to say it was a very enjoyable ride I'm looking forward to to get back here again when it's dry because the circuit is really nice and it's good to look around and to be honest I really enjoyed it with this machine. Of course Now Jörg and I are going to go for it. We've got Cup2 R on the car as we said It's wet, like we said.
It's gonna be a lot of fun I've got a normal belt. And let's go for it So just a quick info as you can see. I had a slightly smaller helmet but whatever the GT3 behaves exactly as we expected as much as I would love to drive it too also of course it's much more stable under the brakes and at the limit it's really like the car handles beautifully when you when you're on the entry So if you've got a fast hand, and this guy's got like a really fast hands, that's exactly how you're going to catch that Point where you can just drive it in the entry like a straight-up Cup2 R hoonigan. Of course they slide in the wet eh he drives very strange compared to other people from Porsche factory team racing, he drives a bit sharper, a bit jerky actually. But at the same time it's an interesting way how you can find here in the wet, actually.
the necessary amount of grip in the wet, and because drives like that and actually pulls the steering wheel a lot you could see in the footage, anyway. he knows exactly when he can hit the throttle. neutralizes the car, and in the end It's a strange ride, full of skids, but when You can navigate it, you know. it can be just as good, and it was. It was very interesting for me to see this driving style that is actually quite the opposite of mine that it works and it can be great too.
and I'm not the one who's doing the record laps at Nordschleife for Porsche, right? hat's off to him. Doesn't happen often to have next to the full GT3 lineup a chance to interview a Mr. Porsche Mr. 911 Hello, how are you doing tell me which one of these amazing cars is your favorite your personal opinion please I'm always a fan of the latest and the greatest so the new car is my favorite. Okay so let's move to the newest one Which improvement is the biggest in comparison with the previous car? So looking at race track performance I would say It's a combination of the change of cynematic in the front with the anti-dive and the damper philosophy that we are following closely to the GT3 RS now so we are putting quite a bit more control on bumps To control the body movement a bit more And that gives you more performance, more platform and therefore also feels better for me, very predictable gives good feedback and I think that's always a key for a car to give good feedback to the driver to go quick.
Thank you and once again thank you for the amazing taxi drive Simply put, the new GT3 is so as with most previous generations or maybe all of them actually, it takes things again from the RS so that the car is closer to to what we really want to what we need and what we like we're having fun In this case we're talking about a completely redesigned engine head we're talking about sharp cams that this car received from the RS, and we're also talking about the twin trapezoid in the front is the new from RS, shape of flying drop forward so that they themselves those trapezoids generate some of the downforce on the front axle, which makes the car much more stable and I would like to now talk about the anti-roll bar system which is the new car is equipped with, they simply redesigned the working characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car doesn't go into lift in the moment it is measured at 200 km per hour you hit the brakes as hard as you can that's what it's all about. Summing up, this car does not dip 12 mm as before, but only 6 mm and therefore, since they've redesigned the diffuser front and rear as well. so they were able to get to the kind of stability under the brakes that I would And you can feel it here in the fast turn that I would have never in a GT3.
I wouldn't have never imagined in a GT3. And as far as the steering goes naturally stiffens with speed but around the middle, it's like, extremely close to a generation before for being a car that has a double trapezoid so it's just not a hyper reactive around the center position and that's absolutely great news for me because it it just handles so beautifully just with a finger that it's just it. Along with the new design of the car have of course been completely redesigned rear hood air intakes where the air flows a little bit differently and the same so are the brand new rear side covers wings with a so-called angular profile so the wing works even better, and the the air is simply tempered by the Anti Diving can be described in Czech so that the car has an earlier limited working chassis ranges, it means nothing else. other than it's not kneeling and it's ready for whatever might happen, even if it's already kneeling the car hits a curb or a that big orange Sausage so nothing's gonna happen GT3 is gonna eat it up we'll iron out the best lap and make it interesting. thing Porsche listens to its customers So the 992.2 GT3 has already got the example from the factory
thicker brake discs, have cooling of the rear axles has a different rear cooling axles there's a lot of stuff here And the display, well, there's a display. It's not a conventional analog rev counter. But there's still a rotary dial to turn it on. and there's a selector switch so that when you're like Jörg Bergmeister, you're going to shift in drift you can do it in the middle of the A I'm gonna be And here we are in Touring version On amazing spanish roads in the middle of mountains where the new steering comes out even better As you already see, there are seats behind me. Equipped with ISO-FIX, as it should be and ISO-FIX is even in the front bucket seat next to me. Which means: succesful father of a three can take for a spin all of them.
It's hell of a dream of many fathers, I'd say. They even promised me to bring child seat. Just to look at But let's move on. Currently we are enjoying incredible road And the ballance of new dampers settings, even in first moments before, there was clear difference also from body movements but here, on this road if you closed my eyes, I would have been sure, just from feeling inputs the new car is in the middle between 991.2 and 992.1 It's simply more 911ish feelings, than the previous car.
It's exactly how I wanted it to become. How is this possible?! The really know how to deliver. They really know! And I enjoy it so much. Hop! The longer, the more you drive the car, the deeper real connection is I'm gonna show you one more thing I'm gonna Porsche is actually going back a little bit to to what the GT3 already offered, and that's these new seats that actually when I put them I saw them in the pictures, I was not so excited a little uncomfortable with them, but in person, I'm excited about them. even that processing feeling that they should have been in that car It's been a long time since you've driven a GT3 with a helmet.
you can take them out completely and you'll end up with this. this nice little space for for the helmet to fit nicely and so that the seat continues to do its job. It's actually quite crucial for me thing strap and folding the seat at once is GT3 a much more accessible car and beautifully you can put a big Funny thing about new seats is old bucket seats when you pushed your head into the headrest they were squeeking from the joint of leather and carbon here that does not happen but at the same time in the corners these seats also make some noise but if it was quiet here, then we wouldnt drive a GT3 no? GT3 is not supposed to be quiet inside and I am pretty sure that if i did not talk and you would turn on the automated captions that YouTube will put there "Music, Music, Music" because what is happening onboard is what it's all about and we have now some time to enjoy this beautiful road just for ourselves so I am switching the car into the fun mode and let's drive the GT3 the way it's supposed to be driven it amazes me all the time it just drives so well I'm gonna have to rethink it so far I've had a feeling, that the new platform isn't emotional enough that it's just not as amazing as we all used to like but this car proves to me a polar opposite and at the same time it proves, that even in this crazy year in these crazy times it's possible Have you heard how it works? How you can beautifully catch it? It just shows that you can still build a car to our liking the new GT3 is a car that you need and want and that you truly love Guys, guys... there was absolutely no reason for you to be worried about anything because they really know what they are doing I've promised to myself that i will drive these countryroads a bit more normal so that I'll be able to refer to you something bit more than Muldix that lost his mind but it pulled me in a lot more than i expected because despite the double layer windows despite me sitting in a car in which i can fortunately turn all of the annoying assistants easily off and they are not here with me the entire time it's just so new and in many new things the emotions just fade away but not in this case and what about weight? thanks to ultra-expensive packages Weissach and Leichtbau we can say, that the new GT3 weighs the same as before from polymer composites mixed with a carbon admixture, CFRP material are made a lot of new parts roof, mirrors, aerodynamic covers in the front bumper swaybar, plate near the rear axle and a lot more So yes, we are where we used to be And that brings us to the core of the matter Has any competitor survived for the 911 GT3 until now? And I don't mean only N/A engine without a hybrid system But mainly It's connection with a low weight In this case, with 1420 kg None of us wants to drive a 2 ton car during a trackday That's only good maybe from recession But in terms of wear and tear, it's awfully expensive fun And still, at the end of the day, it only works for a few laps at a time The tires, brakes of even worse the rest of the car will then overheat No seriously, does any other car cross your mind? I think we summed it up nicely we have discussed the new GT3 from all sides on the racetrack, countryroads We took a ride with a man that drives absolutely brutal Mr. Jörg Bergmeister we also had a chance to meet The "Father" of division GT, Mr. Andreas Preuninger It was an event full of wonderful driving and cars, of course Normal shifter, display in front of me, where you quickly forget, that it's a display also, it's pretty funny when you shift they tried to demonstrate the true engine speed at all times that means the handle will not jump to predefined level at some rpm range But it's shaking the whole time which is funny Basically the same as if you had normal mechanical gauge And let me know in the comments which of these GT3's from all the generations you choose to see all of them together by the way was apart from the crazy ride a highlight from today Which one would you choose and why and maybe even a reason why, in many cases of you it will be all of them Thank you so much for your attention and I am looking forward for a next video from a car, that will highly likely not be this fun to drive This was worth it Facelift again showed us that it is possible to improve the unimprovable and that they just know how to do it have great day and see you again next time
