Porsche GT2 RS v TUNED 911 Carrera: DRAG RACE

Check out new cars and truck deals with Carwow:

It's time for an almighty Porsche head-to-head!

We have actually got our hands on the infamous GT2 RS 991 generation, and it's taking on a Carrera T 992.2 generation! Nevertheless, this is no regular Carrera T, and the GT2 may have fulfilled its match! So let's take a look at the stats …

Beginning with the GT2 RS, it's powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six, and this creates 700hp and 750Nm. Power is sent out to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it tips the scales at 1,470 kg. When it was very first released, it cost ₤ 229,000, but in 2026, it's valued at around ₤ 400,000!

Then we come to the Carrera T. It's equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six, and this normally creates 394hp and 450Nm. However, it's had a major tune applied to it, and it now puts down an eye-watering 791hp and 813Nm! All this power is sent to the rear wheels just through a 6-speed manual, and it weighs in at 1,490 kg. The cost of the automobile and the tune combined is ₤ 160,000.

So the more recent Carrera T is well up on power, however it's a handbook! Will that prove decisive? There's only one method to find out for sure … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everyone who assisted set up this drag race:

      Hi Mat,

      I’ve been watching your recent content about importing the 5-door Suzuki Jimnys from Japan and the headaches with waiting times and premiums. I wanted to reach out with a tip that might save you time and significantly lower the cost per unit.

      You might already be aware, but the 5-door Jimny is not actually manufactured in Japan. It is manufactured exclusively by Maruti Suzuki in India (at the Gurugram plant) and then exported to Japan.

      Currently, your supply chain looks like this:

      India (Production) ——>Japan (Import/Markup) ———> UK (Your Import)

      Since you are already bringing them in via the IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) route to bypass the official EU/UK emissions restrictions, you don’t necessarily need a “JDM” spec VIN to get them on the road.

      Why not import directly from India?

      Cost: The retail price of a top-spec Jimny Alpha (comparable to the high-spec global version) in India is roughly £14,000 – £15,000 (brand new, tax paid). Export prices would likely be even lower (ex-VAT/GST). This is likely significantly cheaper than what they are auctioning for in Japan.

      Availability: There is no massive waiting list in India right now; production is stable.

      Specs: Since India is the global manufacturing hub for the 5-door, the “Indian spec” is the original spec. It’s RHD (like the UK), and since you are already doing the legwork for IVA compliance (fog lights, speedometer conversion, etc.) for the Japanese cars, the process for Indian units should be similar.

      It seems inefficient to pay a premium to ship an Indian-made car all the way to Japan, only to ship it all the way back to the UK. Sourcing directly from the source (Maruti Suzuki India) could drastically improve your margins and reduce lead times.

      Love the channel and the new business venture—hope this helps you get more Jimnys to the people who want them!

      Best regards,

      Himanshu

    Drivetrain tech is the actual winner here, PDK in particular.

      And I feel like the clutch on the other car was standard or matt just wasn’t shifting as fast as he could. The gap shouldn’t be this huge

    Edit: it would definitely take extra gear and time from the carwow team but i really think that it would be worth the investment. A 0 to 60 time would also be great. Also thanks for all the likes because maybe we can actually catch the attention of the carwow team. ❤

      You mean the trap speed. Too advanced for Carwow!

      it would be cool but needs extra gear or checking the speedo camera at the exact timestamp and would be effort, could get the video editors a plugin to calculate an estimate from the distance between frames though

      Boring race if the cars are standard. You literally commented, in order, the result of the race. But if they are novitec cars, then I’ll allow it.

      @CITRUS–No not really, the 812 is known to underperform badly. Like barely over 700crank hp. high 5s 100-200, don’t get me wrong it’s pretty quick, but the F12 could be on par

      ​@leonardschluter7037replace the 812 into a BMW V12 LMR.

    Whats up with this Umpire, Is Mat not the “boss” anymore in carwow videos or what, even tho I really like the fact that the choosing of who to drive what is random now.
