Porsche 911 GT3 v GT4 RS: TRACK RACE

Thanks to RMA Track Days for making this video possible:
Follow Racing Chauffeur Sam on Instagram:

Mat and Racing Motorist Sam are off on another road trip, and they're taking a Porsche & a all the way from the UK to Medspa Francorchamps to put these track-focused Porsches through their paces!

However, they're not simply testing these on track, they'll also be finding out what they're like to deal with day-by-day on their journey over. They'll be finding out how they compare when driving through town and on a twisty roadway, while also comparing how comfy their interiors are and finding out which has the much better exhaust note. Not only that, but they'll also be discovering which has the very best boot space and usefulness!

But of course, the centrepiece of this video will be their performance on the track! And in spite of them both being Patios, there's one key thing these vehicles share – they're both powered by the very same engine! As a result, that suggests they're both packing a naturally-aspirated 4-litre flat-six that red lines at a glorious 9,000 RPM! Nevertheless, while the GT4 RS can push out 500hp and 450Nm, it's been dialled up a little in the GT3, putting down 510hp and 470Nm.

Will that slight difference show the difference on track? Or will the hardcore GT4 RS have the edge? There's only one way to discover … LET'S RACE!

    Food holding capacity of the rear spoiler is my second most important consideration when purchasing a car, right after how many racoons fit in the left front wheel well.

      And of course how many hamsters can fit in the exhaust😂

    I couldn’t choose, they are both beautiful German engineering masterpieces. I’d love to drive a Porsche.🏁

      The GT4RS and GT3 are equally underrated cars.

    The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is what I consider my dream car, no hypercar, no 1000 horsepower…

    Just what a modern sport car should be, somewhere between purity and perfection.

      “Between purity and perfection” is so well said. Sounds like a slogan of a successful sports car company 😁

      Same here, but it’s still $300k 😢

      For 300k I would like 1000 hp to its 2023 with ev knocking on the door🤣. That to me is purity and perfection. Probably would pick the faster gt3, I can always make the exhaust sound better because to me they aren’t equipped with enough power anyways.

      @Josh Reynolds The exhausts sound the same between the 2. It’s the induction noise that is way louder on the GT4 RS because the air box is literally a foot from your head. Exhaust would help but induction is what you experience the most as a driver.

    I did 2:39.6 with my 992 GT3 at Spa (with a 100kg passenger and 2 overtakes). This car is amazing!
