[Music]
good morning and welcome to these
Scottish Highlands and today is a
phenomenally exciting day because behind
me is my new gt3 which I haven't even
driven yet the last time you guys saw
this was in the show room when we took
delivery of the car today I've joined
Porsche UK who have shipped the car up
to the very northern tip of Scotland for
its first drive and not only that it is
a very significant event because it is
part of Porsches celebrations for its
70th anniversary now what a Porsche have
done as you might be able to see is
brought up to Scotland every car from
the 356 all the way up to the latest
generation gen - 991 gt3 RS the sun is
shining these are some of the greatest
roads in the UK the cars got 15 miles on
the clock so far so I'm gonna have to
run this thing into a degree Porsche
tell me that I can get on it fairly
early because actually the engines are
benched before they go in the car but
yeah it's still new it's still my baby
and I want to look after as much as I
can so we're gonna be taking it steady
for the first few miles okay the first
thing that I wanted to address was lots
of people are saying in the comments why
didn't you go for the fixed carbon seats
come and check this out I mean we
haven't even turned a wheel in this and
I'm using the practical side of it
before the performance side the beauty
of the folding bucket is I've already
stuffed loads of bags in the back here
straightaway it literally the most
convenient thing I also have suitcase in
the front as well and that's why I went
for the folding seats because you can
fit loads of stuff in the cage actually
and this is non excuse as that awesome
as the cage looks it also holds bags in
place so when you're like throwing it
around bags they'll come flying forwards
and hit the back of your seat so folding
seats is where it's at in a gt3
okay the moment of truth this is the
first time I'm going to even turn on the
engine of this car ah the familiar
flat-six porsche sound this is
ridiculous I can't believe the context
in which I'm having the first drive of
this car this is an official Porsche UK
event it's a 70th anniversary event than
the cars of their cars we are with
Gentoo gt3 RS over there we have a new
gt2 RS in front also in Miami blue so
we're definitely gonna have to get some
features next to that later and with any
luck today I might be able to drive each
of those cars alright first time into
gear into drive let's go Oh
literally look 15 miles on the clock
this is practice
[Music]
kamilly literally about to connect over
250 miles the first 50 miles in this car
right now so the first 50 miles have
been granted pretty steady it's what I
expected that is kind of what the car
needs now there's been split opinions as
to be running schedule of this car if
you go by the handbook it's incredibly
conservative I think it's the run-in
period is recommended to be 2,000 miles
I mean some people don't even do that in
their gt3 in a year you know often for
people their special occasion cars but I
think that's a super conservative be
safe run end schedule I spoken with the
guys from Porsche here who have said to
be honest the engines are benched before
they even go in the car and you know
they've racked out at 9,000 then they're
stuck in your car so they've already
kind of had a pretty good spinning
however I can I'm adopting this halfway
house so I think for the first about 500
miles I'm going to take it relatively
steady yeah that doesn't mean we're not
gonna be able to hear some 9,000 rpm at
some points today but I don't think I'll
be doing it too often Porsche here say
it's okay I'd like to bet it in a little
bit but just to be back in this thing
it's ridiculous the smile glass
full chat today as soon as I sat in this
seat it's such a familiar looking
sensation these seats but you so well
the steering wheel and this is the
smaller diameter steering wheel from the
gt3 RS which is new compared to my old
gt3 but it's lovely and it gives it that
slightly more dynamic edge and feel to
the car and of course importantly the
Alcantara which the steering wheel is
clad in is incredibly fresh and feels
beautiful anyway
we also find ourselves in the Scottish
Highlands there are still snow-capped
mountains and these are the kinds of
roads that you can see the horizon for
miles it was such an enjoyable place to
be and I'm just absolutely are those to
run this car in for such a special
occasion for Porsche because this is the
70th year anniversary and the first
drive of my new car so thank you so much
Porsche for inviting me on this now is
going exploit this car on some fabulous
roads and check out some of the other
incredible cars on this journey
first drive though is we've just done 65
miles so not a huge amount but the first
turn of the wheel in the car feels so
good look apart next it so the amazing
thing about being on an official Porsche
trip is not only are we surrounded by
fantastic cars but currently and our
coffee stops they have a detailing
service cleaning the car so we go and
have a coffee come back cars are all
clean but how amazing is it to have
another Miami blue car and a gt2 RS no
less park next to our own car it's so
cool but how amazing does this look all
of the sculpture on the iris accentuated
even further by having so much
contrasting carbon which is one thing I
think one of the upgrades I'll be making
on this car is even more external carbon
particularly endplates on the wing and I
think air intakes which we are in the
early talks with somebody really cool
trying to sort that out and also the
scenery I've never been this far north
in my own country so it's very special
occasion doing that as well sceneries
incredible cars are amazing people are
great to check out the cub stuff
[Music]
oh my god whoo kill him say that meals
I tell you something the tork jump
I don't remember my last car feeling
anywhere near as talked here's this so
the edge in it is now is basically their
cup car engine which by the way resident
nine and a half thousand so as much as
this thing feels like it's about to pop
there is still some leeway in this block
which is incredible
to feel this with it it's the last 500
rpm it's just another world and there's
this resonance that this presentation
that is coming through this chasse into
the engine and even I can actually feel
it resonating a little bit in the
steering wheel when you get up to 9,000
rpm on this there has been an evolution
of this engine it's just just check this
again this is six to 19,000 rpm
everybody
oh it's so good
listen to this
I don't know I don't know where we go
from here it's out of this world epic
I'm also finding that I don't have to do
actually sounds like I'm in a goddamn
cop car water phenomenal block this is
I'm gonna color it down a bit because I
mean listen boy drove told me that I'm
fine so just use it now but I'm still
gonna spend some time running it in a
little bit more but I couldn't we
couldn't have the first drive and I'll
share that with you
it's absolutely different gravy cool so
so special I really got out sort of
immerse myself a triumph absorb as much
of the character of this car digested a
bit and then over the coming weeks and
months of living with it I'll be better
positioned to be able to translate into
vocabulary just what this thing is like
in the sort of evolution from the last
car I mean I think I'm in a really
fortunate position that having done
20,000 miles in the last gt3 I'm gonna
be good position to tell you how things
have moved on just from a few squirts of
the right pedal things have really moved
up this is amazing I call me but this
engine to free up and get it run in and
on these roads with these cars it's
amazing so lucky so this is what our
convoy and what our petrol stops look
like at the minute this is the majority
of a convoy which I've been with most of
the day that you can see we've got some
serious kit we're at the gen 1 901 gt3
RS here
gt2 RS in matching Miami blue I think
probably my favorite spec the cars out
here and a Gen 2 991 gt3 RS with they
keep on the Henderson no that's driving
it so we've got a really strong lineup I
were dying to ask you how house this big
this is amazing I adore the color it's
done like a sore thumb at the proper
always there everything is an amazing
experience like
love it believe it in about ten minutes
I'm hoping when I get back I get to jump
in and take it around the block all
right let's do it
as you can see great bunch of people
here she's awesome proper enthusiasm
okay all these guys they were up some
more of the classic cars as well right
the way over there there's actually a
three five six it's amazing to see I am
shocked to have put that three five six
is is basically 70 years ago so it's
very impressive
and this Gentoo gt3 here is actually a
manual very very strong lineup for
approaching the end of our day in terms
of travel day and then when I get back
to our hotel shortly I'm gonna jump into
both the gt2 RS and the gen 2 gt3 RS
it's a very good day
[Music]
okay we just got to our Lodge for this
evening what a really cool place to
chill
once again surrounded by incredible
views and incredible cars speaking of
incredible cars got the keys to the gen
2 gt3 RS monumental occasions the keys
to the gen 2 gt3 RS in the same day to
compare these two cars back to back
normally when they form a car of such
significance as you know it would make a
full 15 minute video on it and make it
more glamorous and beautiful but I'd
have much time because dinners calling
with a hot power and there's a just see
it's all about the first thing I notice
is actually the overall engine totus has
slightly more base as the exhausted
again chips or sandwiches as you would
expect just listen to this
yeah I honestly don't have the words to
describe just how effortless and
seamless is it's not so much as a gear
shift is it is this sort of audible tone
change it just sort of happens it's
unbelievable
in terms of overall feel I think this
thing will definitely come into its own
when you're really on it because the
size of that wing and the increased
downforce suggested it comes into its
own when you're sort of ten tenths but
we won't do that today because it's been
very successful we've all got away
without any problems so it's going to
enjoy it see what it's all about but
baby check out if the front end hook so
many different but it's actually just an
honor to be in it despite the fact that
this plane you could actually land an
airplane on that thing it's actually
more practical than the way on my gt3
because you can see under it so you can
see traffic behind you present my car I
just can't plankton Wow
the idea in terms of the Sanders sound
is definitely more wrong it's some of
shrieks at you yeah I think that exhaust
is required for the gt3 so just stepped
out the Gentoo gt3 RS and that myself
and Pierce have just jumped into the gt2
RS wise arc pack no less yeah I was just
saying that being given the keys to the
2 RS was up there with like it was like
the the the hidden Christmas present
that I didn't know was coming at the end
of the day this has taken things to a
whole new level
we are drums emotive normally points in
the United Kingdom
well mainland United Kingdom mainland
United Kingdom in a 2 Rs today this is
bolting on to the end of my video
so I'm sorry it's brief what I'm gonna
try and do is use my magic powers of
persuasion to see if I can get hold of a
2 RS for longer than 50 minutes - isn't
it what's funny is at the interior of
these other than subtle changes and we
get to confirm this what my instinct
tells me that cage is a titanium cage
just to give you some context as to how
it
being inside a car which is so familiar
to the naturally aspirated stuff no just
really do today but really leaks so
different it's weird it's like what they
stuck at 9/11 engine in their cable and
the GT ball yeah yeah I was Nutella
Donna you're like all them but this is
something something
[Music]
it's amazing
the gearbox response is still there with
the turbocharged engine isn't she happy
when you left off is a nice subtle
steering like nearly feels familiar
that's an impressive the ripen and all
it's like I guess that's Evan it's been
so good all day it's so good all day and
now I'm basically in the middle of a
cloud somewhere over there is the ocean
I think the oceans that way yeah anyway
so this is the most northerly tip of the
mainland and we would otherwise be able
to see resplendent wildlife but as I
mentioned I'm in the middle of a cloud
which is a shame well what we do have is
iridescent cars
looks like we've arrived in the packet
of skittles and the car wash has been
following us around all day so we've got
these guys here cleaning up all the cars
I can't believe I haven't spoken to you
yet about about this thing today's just
unhinged unhinged epicness the cars have
been driving I I mean this has been my
collection day of my own car and I've
been in this gen 2 gt3 RS and now I've
just driven over here into the cloud in
the gt2 RS and yeah I'm still kind of my
brains processing just how epic today is
it's been absolutely phenomenal so quick
show around and I think we better call
it a day
ok so we're back and I thought I would
end the video in the place that we
started back in the new gt3 what firm
all day this car has just reminded me
how incredible this platform is the
engine is ridiculous I cannot wait
I know I've taken it to the redline a
couple of times today but it was just
for you guys for the next few hundred
miles I'm gonna be taking it steady I
was about to say we've lucked out with
the weather it just started to rain as
those clouds closed in on us earlier I'm
just super thankful that it's at the
very end of the day so it's been perfect
Scotland is incredible she'll definitely
be coming back up here to drive some
more those incredible roads the videos
with both the gen 2 gt3 RS and the gt2
RS obviously that was a sort of bolt
onto this video so I'm gonna be talking
with Porsche to get my hands on those
cars hopefully in the future to make
some all dedicated content which will be
super cool but yes monumental occasion
thanks
so much as always for watching and I
shall see you next time ciao
