Here we GO! It’s time to find out which Porsche GT sports car is best in a drag race!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it’s going up against a GT3, GT4 RS and a GT4! The question is, will it be a clean sweep for the new GT3 RS? Well, let’s take a closer look at the stats.
Starting with the GT3 RS, it’s powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine that can deliver 525hp and 465Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1,450kg. But while it’s relatively low on weight, it comes with a hefty price tag, with prices starting from £192,000, and rising to upwards of £235,000!
Alongside it, we have the GT3. Naturally, it comes with the same 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six, which in this instance puts down 510hp and 470Nm. This is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch, and to pick one up now it will cost around £146,000.
Then we get to the Caymans. They’re both powered by 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-sixes, with the GT4 RS putting down 500hp and 450Nm, while the GT4 delivers 420hp and 430Nm. The GT4 RS is the lightest car here, at 1,415kg, while the GT4 matches the GT3 RS at 1,450kg.
It’s easily one of the best-looking drag races we’ve ever run, but will these track-focused legends make for an exciting race in a straight line? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

@@cameroon5404thank you lol
I'm an absolute fan of 911 Porsche's, but I must admit that those GT4 Cayman look freaking amazing
nein
Gt4rs is so close to those 911s impressive. Gt4 really isn’t that far behind either. Beautiful machines
New Porches are too big. Look at how much bigger they are now vs the 80's, they used to be a nimble sports car that were not overweight. New 911's are the size of family cars!
Yep. I’d prefer the gt4 for looks
Gt3 has a better front end, but gt4 a better back end
And the GT2 RS watching them race like a proud dad ❤

Are we not going to talk about how insane the GT4 RS sounds. Like my god.
The air intake of the GT4 RS is fixed within the left rear lateral glass, right beside the ear of the driver. So we’re hearing the induction, combustion and mechanical noises that reverberate inside. Visceral.
Bruh are u copying and pasting this on any sound comment possible 😝😭
@@austinkusnier6164 Indeed. To share this info with as many as possible, since no one seems to know it.
Rear engine vs mid engine.
What a Symphony of sound this episode was!!!
I know the drone shots in the drags sounded so damn good. Long live big NA engines.
Nothing like a quartet of flat sixes wailing like banshees at the redline!
The sound inside the GT4 RS is insane!
from the inside its truly the best sounding in my opinion too. Just awsome
full agree. I just got my 4rs few weeks ago and the noise is mental. Like a breathing dragin its an incredible experience. @@Cattasticbass
as a weekend car I would take the GT4 RS but as a daily a no-go.
@@peterhammer6915 nobody drives a gt4 rs as a daily. its a track day and weekend car

@prageethgunasekera7402 Please don't hate on these guys trying to make THEIR $$$....🫤😐😳🙄
This week we’ve had a drag race every day. Thank you Mat and Carwow. You are amazing. I love the GT3 RS 🧡
Sound of the GT4 RS is better than everything else. Just insane.
Especially from the inside 😵
I’m not a Porsche fan at allll, but I want that car!
It sounds absolutely wicked
from the inside. 3RS from the outside.
@@lewisr-kf8vl can't drive the car from the outside tho ;)
That Porsche kickdown never ceases to amaze me. 7th to 2nd in comfort settings in a second. Crazy.
The sound when those 24 cylinders of naturally aspirated goodness crossed the line...... shivers!
The incredible SOUND from all 4 of those amazing cars all roaring down the runway at the same time!!! 🤩
Based on the audio, the GT4RS sounds like the most raw and visceral experience, I’d take that! Since I’d be rich, I’d then buy a Porsche 911 touring for daily driving :)
Don’t forget the top trim Cayenne for trips to the grocery store!
Cause the engine is right behind ya ears
I'd buy a Turbo S for daily driving. It is a great GT car and insanely fast.
@@GinjaNinja77 the GT4RS sound wise still miles above the rest.
@@purwantiallan5089 I’m with you on that! I’ll take my Cayman in Yellow and Black with yellow seat belts and the black CA plate with yellow writing 🤘
That intake noise in that GT4 RS is godly
GT4 Rs in this vidéo sound like my L6 on my BMW 435i, not like my flat 6 3.8 NA on my 991.1 C4 GTS...
The air intake of the GT4 RS is fixed within the left rear lateral glass, right beside the ear of the driver. So we’re hearing the induction and combustion noise that reverberates inside. Visceral.
end
For the price and the fact it was able to be ordered the GT4 looks pretty good .
They are made for different purposes. In a road or circuit gt3rs would smoke all others because of the aerodynamics. It can go much faster on corners.
That aerial shot of the 4 cars screaming down the track is epic, 4 of some of the most beautiful cars in the world in a row. I would buy that picture and put it on my wall.
Carwow is KILLING IT these days.
Right? Like I think this guy Matt watson could be a host for Top gear BBC
@shahmi5727 he doesn't need top gear! 😂 the youtube platform and his personality makes him a bigger star
This Porsche video was not as good as the other ones. The new Porsche are too big and heavy they need to make them better sizes like they did in the past. Porsche's are not as nimble as they once were and when you drive one you feel like you are driving small truck 😂

Hero that we didn't wanted, but we NEEDED
Love everything you're showing!! Still can't imagine what a killer monster the GT2RS will be when finally released. Haven't seen/heard any details yet...
Due no disrespect, but the GT2 RS has been out already for a while know. Look for it and if you can look at it's lap around the Nordschleife
@@rafirivera4073he means the 992 generation gt2 rs
@@camil1right, and thank you for clarifying!
the fact hes ordered a gt3 rs is insane 😭 fair play to the lad he deserves it!!
Honestly, the GT4RS was probably the most impressive. Being able to live with the two 911's is definitely punching above it's weight and Yanni's launch in the second drag race... wow he 100% nailed that start!
IF you look at the stats of the car its really not that impressive at all.
@@CROWNZIConsidering the gt3/911 is porsches model above the gt4, it’s definitely impressive.
@@punjamo5466the 911 is above the Cayman because of its history, not because it’s a better platform than the mid engined Cayman tho.
@@jorhop4005GT2 RS disagrees.
@@punjamo5466 Ye but you are comparing regular cayman with 911 and gt3 , the tuned cayman is not losing statswise at all.
CARWOW should have a track test series too it would be a bangerrr to see track focused cars doing lap times
Great idea

I also agree, a track test would make sense. Not sure if its true or not, but apparently the Cayman GT4 / RS Spec chassis out performed the 911 Chassis when it was first released. It was also given a 4.0 Ltr but not the GT3 4.0, an entirely different engine all together. Would have made the 911 obsolete had they shared the same Spec 4.0 . The GT3 and RS version are far more pollished and a lot prettier but the GT4 / RS for what you get its a bargain and has the potential to match the GT3 on the track.
I agree, these cars were made for corners and manoeuvres opposed to straight lines
nah I bet 90% of the people don't care about track times. Unnecessary cost for them
Smiled watching this entire video. Amazing content boys. Thank you!
I think Yianni has the world record for the saddest faces in insanely cool and fast cars
This guy is made of a naturally aspirated V10 engine due to how much energy he puts out into making several videos a week.
More like this guy is made of a massive jet engine 🗿
I concur
Don’t forget the production team and crew who help make it all possible.
he's just there to host the show, nothing more, not a single a touch on a camera or any prodution things, he is just a host :)
I don't want to be that guy, but cmon bruh... his job is drag racing cars that your neighbor would kill their firstborn to drive in, and being paid millions for doing so. I don't imagine the energy would be that hard to come by. Much love to Matthew for doing what others can only dream of doing on the daily.
We need more track races like this. Shows off more of the car's potential
Yes track races over silly drag races which are of little meaning. Unless the remote probability that they all meet at the same set of lights one time
Drag races culture is destroying car driving culture
Matt needs to stop being so rude to other drivers, Carwow big bosses need to tell him. Putting me off a bit to be honest. Big head?
@@zakelweit’s just banter.
No it doesn’t this is just a drag race - going in a straight line, to see the potential of these cars they need to be going around corners.
I just saw a GT4RS in person on Broadway Nashville and let me tell you the camera does not do it enough justice.. the car is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could’ve just sat and stared at it but im sure someone would’ve thought i was going to steal it. 😂
Love them all. If I could get an allocation for a GT4 RS I would buy one. Great video 👍
I just love the sound of that GT4 RS❤
Definitely one of the best sounding Races Nothing Can beat Natural aspirated engines with high RPM
And as a GT4RS owner I can tell you the sound in all videos in KZhead is nowhere near what it’s actually like when sat in the car. I tend to upshift at 6-7k rpm just to avoid blowing out my eardrums. On track blasting to 9k over and over again it’s just scary😅
While the GT3’s have external air intakes at the rear, the intake of the GT4 RS is fixed within the left rear lateral glass, right beside the ear of the driver. So we’re hearing the induction, combustion and mechanical noises that reverberate inside. Visceral.
can we just appreciate the amount of content that carwow is putting out these days? absolutely insane
Yeah, but dont put Yanni in the guest lane 😃😃
"can we just" comments are so 2021
Can we appreciate your mouth shut?
one of the BEST sounding races the channel has ever had
I had chills listening to all these flat 6, especially the GT4 RS

Carwow coming out with bangers on a daily!! Love it!
Matt gotta pay for both an R8 Spyder and a GT3RS now...
OG carwow is back, massive W from Matt
German car industry fund them well
This video was just ok. New Porches are gigantic in size and overweight. Porsche used to be better in the 80s when they were a more manageable car in terms of size, now they are almost the size of small trucks 😆
They got the "ah-ha"💡 moment
Carwow's consistency these days is crazy.. it shouldn't go without notice. Great job guys.
Saw a new GT3 and GT3 RS (white and yellow) on the Autobahn together yesterday. Looked awesome together.
What an accurate drag race. Exactly as the paper says between those cars ✊🏿
Yannis face every time he's in the slower car always has me lol 😂😂😂
The interior sound of the GT4 RS is amazing!
It's a crime not to put Yianni in the best car- his winning expressions are one of the best parts of any drag race 😁
We needed the GT2 in this lineup
The sound of all those flat 6s harmonizing ripping down the runway is AMAZING!
3:38 the GT4 has not the same 4L than the others. It’s the 3L biturbo from 992 carrera without turbo and and stroked to 4L
This is true for the 2016 981 model only. The 718 is bespoke 4L Flat6 based on the Carrera S.
Yeah I think it's the 3L from the 991.2 to be exact
@@SamiMatarSay what!?! 😂. The 981 had the 3.8 liter engine from the 997.1 Carrera S. The 718 GT4 has the later 3.0 turbo engine enlargened to 4 liter and dropped turbos.
@@SamiMatar that’s literally what I said lol
Who love to see these four be tested around a track by the same driver to compare the lap times.
love that little car "review" at the beginning, continue mat ! good to see Nicholas to
The 992 GT3RS is to die for, just look those sharp lines and gorgeous wheels, incredible car 🔥
Like your momma 😂
dislike@@sylvaind.6786
You guys all forget about the coming up 992 GT2Rs!
When? And also gt2 coming?@@adrian2948
I agree with Rory and I want GT4 as well. Will take the Gt4RS too. Gt3RS is bonkers though, but GT4/Gt4RS is so well proportioned in every way .Love it .
Can't wait to see ES Motor get their hands on the new GT3RS
Yianni has the best faces when he’s losing. Man’s take all races very serious 😂😂
That’s not a nice thing to say 😡. Be nice
GT3 is such a gem of a car. The best sweet spot between GT3RS and Turbo S!
Yeah It's also like $60,000 cheaper (not that money is of issue when you buy one).
GT2RS all day!
Yanni’s face is priceless. I wouldn’t be losing if I wasn’t being treated like a guest driver! 😂😂
Gotta say, I agree on the GT4. Just looked up the stats for the American version and it ran an 11.6 1/4 mile at 121 mph. Excellent for a car with that kind of power thanks to that PDK transmission. 😁
wow wow wow God have finally Blessed You
Bloody well done with this video mate.
Sometimes i find it strange seeing Yianni knowing the stats of his car
I love how Mat is driving more Porsches because he cannot wait for his great toy to come. I would do exactly the same😃
It's to make their channel sponsor happy! 😅
Epic dig from Rory. Well done
If I could have a garage filled with all four of these beautiful Porsche's, I'd know I made it in life.
The sound in the GT4 RS is crazy 😱
That 992 gt3 rs spec is absolutely gorgeous
Thats just beautifully justified the price tags of each car which perfectly coincided with their respective performance.
To be honest, since its out the GT4 RS has been my favourite car, i had the pleasure to sit on the passanger seat of one and i have to say, the sound of that thing gives me EVERYTHING.
Okay massive props to this channel for smashing out so many drag races this past week!!❤
What I love about these cars, is you can make a compelling case for each being your favourite. They're all fantastic.
These are amazing cars and I've sat in a cayman GT4 2016 before for a journey around winding roads and a spirited driver. But you would be amazed at how much enjoyment and good handling you can get.... from a simple mustang 5.0.
Is it just me or Yianni is so honest and contented in this second race
GT3RS has got to be the best looking Porsche ever made.
Nah bro gt3 touring it is
@@warpathcucucu yeh I'm with you, the RS might be the top of the range, quickest straight line, quickest round a track but just looks stupid, it looks like it was designed by an 18 Yr old with an aero obsession.
I wish if you did a third rolling race with the DRS off just to see how effective the DRS is !! 🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
Great idea
This is a great call and needs all the upvotes for a future video.
I love the GT4RS but man if you are over 6 feet getting in and out of that car is a pain lol. Those seats are crazy but once you are in them you aren’t going anywhere. Awesome cars for sure
I got so used to seeing heavy cars on carwow, when I saw the weights of these porsches I gasped in awe as I have finally seen a car lighter than myself.
400 kilos heavier than a miata or a110!
@@mitchellsteindler and double/ quadruple the horsepower
@blazesmooth5573 2-3x, yeah. Just saying, they aren't light. You can put a v8 in a miata and it will still weigh 350kg less. If anyone would actually buy a $100k miata, maybe mazda would do it!
@@mitchellsteindler yeah but Porsche offers also luxuries and that weighs some kilos + the aero package add also weight and of course the engine + the auto gearbox compared to a Miata and especially the dimensions are not the same. Put in a Miata or a a110 a bigger engine, luxuries stuff, aero kit, a cage, 335 tires, a bigger body and you will see the weight. Theses 911 or cayman are pretty light for what they offers but yeah a lotus or a a110 are lighter
@@CLSTRN911 I'm not arguing that the porsche is worse than a miata 🤣. I'm just saying they're not light.
That flat six symphony on the launch was beautiful, absolutely my favourite engine platform
This is fun just watching, can't imagine being one of the drivers 🎉
One of my dream line up car the gt3 rs! really good just to get that driving experience, one of my cousins bought it in London he likes his gt3 rs a lot.
Salute to Yianni for knowing the stats for once 😂
Even though these cars are actually quite similar (not to mention they're the same make), this was one of the most fun to watch carwow races in recent months ❤
Great drag race! Please add the GT2 RS to the line up next time
Only thing that'd improve this race would be having a turbo s in the mix. Would be cool to see all the cars geared for cornering and braking go up against one meant for launching
The GT4 RS especially in that colour is absolutely stunning ❤
Like your momma 😂
The sounds of those cars are heaven
Beautiful musical symphony from all the cars. The howl of the F6 has grown on me as ive only ever loved the i6 sound from an RB26DETT from the R32/33/34 GTR Skylines from Nissan.
God, that induction noise in the 4rs is amazing
Unbelievable - another great race! 🏎🏁 This time I'm also impressed by the camera crew: 15:12 love the view 🚁🎥
Personally I would go for the 911 Turbo S but any of these would do as well. Great video!
Yanni brings such good energy and cheeky commentary, love the guy!
The sound is insane❤
CarWow has been going crazy for the last few weeks 🔥🔥🔥
Love Matt’s effort on the brake test! For a moment I feared it could put a hole on the floor! 😂
It cracks me up how dude gets so geeked at beating all the under spec'd cars with his super car. Ridiculous!
The GT4 RS sounds like heaven
One of the best drag races, thanks for this nice video, Mat!
Hey Carwow (Mat) im a huge fan and love the drag races and the truck test, the next series i feel would be great would be track times like it was done in the grand tour, something not that huge where literallly every car or truck you review you put them through there and can be like leaderboards per category and one including all, something like this drag races would be awesome to see the cars go through a circuit, great content as always, keep it up guys!
I've owned numerous Porsches throughout the years and recently bought a 718 Cayman S with several upgrades. It is the best handling, driving car I've ever driven other than a GT3RS. For the money, I could not be happier.
Great comparison
For real Yanni is such a delight to watch The guy just breaks the 4th wall as if he was Deadpool 😄
Mat is able to post videos everyday for us, Mat's the best.
Mat is the face, but there's a whole team of people who arrange these, organising the cars, producing the videos, don't ignore them all only thanking mat for these videos

This must have been such a great race to listen to from the outside 😍
Best sounding drag race of all. Time
They all sound insane but the interior sound of the GT4RS is something else
