    ...called 997.2 GT3 that is faster on the Nordschleife and Hockenheim then Audi R8 V10.

    BTW, full specs 997.2 GT3 is still about 25K € less then full specs R8 V10.

    Agreed, but they are totally different cars mate. A striped out version of a R8 V8 would probably put up a good fight against this beast.

    This is GT3, and it isn't that much striped out...GT3 RS is, but R8 ''suffers'' B/C of ''quattro''...

    R8=1635 Kg
    997 ''non-facelift'' GT3=1470 kg

    Unofficial claim is 7.40min or better!
    Yes, manual only-this is a true sportscar.
    BTW, 0-200km/h: 12.3s

    I just fell in love again, what a machine....

    A quick one as well, the claimed ring time is very impressive. So is the 0-200 km/h sprint, seems like Porsche have done it again...

    Amazingly fast!
    What will be the expected time of 997.2 Turbo for 0-200 and Ring time?
    Will it be even faster?
    If yes - even LP640 and GTR will be chasing Porsche once again...

    Regarding 997.2 Turbo I do not know yet...

    Current ultimate sportscar combo is IMHO Audi R8 V10 and Porsche 997.2 GT3. Both different but, true sportscars!
