On GP track @nur GTS 1.8 sec slower than the beast 991 GR3 RS. I am not happy😡☺️🤔😉

RS is fast! But it's also 300K....and slower than a 675LT. And it doesn't have door that go:



GTS is certainly impressive. GT3 performance from a Sedan. Porsche needs turbos I guess.

Kobalt

You can see it two ways:

A) GTS is optimized for the Nordschleife, not the GP Track. It will just be 1.8 s slower than the 991 RS on the Nordschleife too.

B) GTS will be 6 x 1.8s = 11s slower than the RS on the Nordschleife.

i would choose A

Anyway: You will compensate any lack of speed in the GTS with skill.

The GTS is a coupe.

ShakeNBake

Sure, but it's a sedan platform.

Lawsofpower

Can you be specific? You have the F80(sedan) F82(coupe).

ShakeNBake

I'm really not sure what you are asking....

The platform that underpins the 3 series BMW is designed to handle a range of configurations from a convertible to a wagon.

Mine should be here in August. Ordered Frozen Grey. Can't wait, I will report back with a comparison.

gmgracing

Very nice! I am looking forward to your comparison. My favorite "new" bmw to drive is the Clown Shoe, hopefully the GTS will be something similarly special.

Nur93

I choose

C) the GTS is only 8 seconds slower than the RS on Nur( factory drivers), if it was not like 130+kg (wich it is) more porky than the 991 GT3 RS/GT3 then It would hang whit it😉
Thanks, hope to compensate those 130+ kg the best way I can. Now If the damn car could just get here😡☺️
