Are new Porsches getting slower?

It's time for a Porsche GT3 RS generations drag race!

We've got Mat lining up in the 996, and together with him we have a 997.2, a 991, and a 992.1, and we will race them all up a runway to see just how the GT3 RS has evolved since it was first released in 2006!

All 4 cars and trucks are rear wheel drive, and all are powered by naturally aspirated flat 6 engines. However will it be an easy win for the more recent 992.1? Let's take a more detailed take a look at the statistics …

The 996 generation is powered by a 3.6-litre flat six that generates 381hp and 385Nm. This power is sent out to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission, and it's the lightest automobile here at 1,360 kg. In 2026 the automobile is worth around ₤ 180,000.

Together with it we have the 997.2. It's geared up with a 3.8-litre flat-six, and this develops 450hp and 430Nm. When once again power is sent out to the rear wheels by means of a 6-speed handbook, and it tips the scales at 1,370 kg. As of today it deserves around ₤ 200,000.

Up next is the 991. It rolls up with a 4-litre flat-six that puts down 520hp and 470Nm, with this power sent out to the backs via a 7-speed dual-clutch. It's the heaviest car here, at 1,443 kg, and it is valued at around ₤ 190,000.

Then we come to the latest automobile, the 992.1. It likewise has a 4-litre flat-six, but in this version it produces 525hp and 465Nm. It also has a 7-speed dual-clutch to send the power to the rear wheels, and it weighs in at 1,428 kg. It's likewise the most expensive automobile here, at ₤ 250,000.

So will it be a walkover for the more recent 992.1? Or could an older cars and truck take the win? There's only one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

      The one Matt was in has averaged 500 miles a year over it’s 21 years. I reckon most people could keep their cars looking mint if they only did that mileage.
      Sadly so many of these cars just sit in garages and never get driven.

      @ib4217

      They tried their best to give him all the help to make it look like he can drive because he has messed up in the past so often. Testament to Porsche, not Yanni.

      Yes because Yianni equals downforce and drag.😂

      Is it to warm up the tyres? Since they are rear wheel drive

    Makes sense more downforce is also more drag on the straights.

      Indeed, my 991 GT3 with G6 engine can keep up with a 992RS on the Autobahn, did not drive away from me to 300kph

    3. @breccho8932 Avatar
      @breccho8932

      @VarunTomee-kr6nf even with drs the 992 produces more downforce than the 991, which equals to more drag.

    4. @Floppy_dics Avatar
      @Floppy_dics

      And heavier

      @Al_Lergicbut have the lowest drag an better fits on narrow roads.

      Btt: I love the 996, it has this late 90‘s vibes and hold well for 140hp less and manual.

      @Al_Lergic

      @Benobi2 Even the base 993 looks wider tho.
