Wow, that was scary fast.

No purchase is safe anymore when it comes to performance, not even at this level. It decimated the previous version (by 24 seconds) and it's faster than the 918!

Amazing! If you saw the movie "Rush" keep in mind that the F1 car record there was by James Hunt and is about 10 seconds slower than a GT3RS. It's amazing, and scary, that a street car can go that fast!!

Holy mother of GAD. That is just insane. So fast!

Now that is some superhuman driving skills. I love how Estre transitions from full brake to full gas so quickly, with the exception of small amounts of trail braking on some corner entries. Then as soon as the apex is there, BAM, he smashes the throttle full on, even if for a split second before applying full brakes again for next turn. WOW. Lessons for us mere mortals...

I think he must be left foot braking - that plus PDK is really taking his transitions to another level

Isn't this faster than the 918 speed record?

You know when the car is so fast the video looks like a video game that the car is FAST! I mean the simulations are getting so good there were parts I had to keep telling myself "THIS IS REAL!"

My favorite part is the section where the tach is right at reline for something like TEN FULL SECONDS! I was like wait, wat? Rewind. Yup. Redline........... damn.

Unfair Advantage: Driver stowed his ***** (just barely) in the frunk thereby getting a more-neutral weight balance.
