Here's a video clip of a Swedish car magazine testing a red GT2 RS. It's obviously in Swedish but I thought you might want to see how your car looks like on the track!

The driver/reporter is a bit OTT in the video though.. He's actually one of the best automotive reporters out there imo. A true car nut, you can really tell that he loves cars just as much as we do! I just think he's a little bit too exited over the car in this video..

Should be on top of the list on the right.

Favourite quote from the clip. After explaining that Nissan has said that the GTR is faster than the 997TT around the Ring and that German test drivers can't drive. "The GT2 RS is Porsches way of telling Nissan, humbly but firmly, one last time, to go and f*** themselves."

Oh, and congrats on the RS!

I'm sure Nissan could build something at a slightly lower price point that beats this on the track, just like the GTR did. It'll probably drive like you're in a video game, but it'll still be faster. Oh and they might even paint the carbon fiber hood.

Sure they could, Porsche could too and anyone else that tried. The question is could any of them actually make money on it, not to mention keep the same profit margin? That is something the GT-R has not done.

If Porsche sold 1billion versa's, I'm sure they'd make a cheap fast car too.

Are they still selling those at a loss just to up their image?

I would like to see a GTR run 24 hours of the Ring and still be in one single piece that we would attempt to purchase at the end. Lap times are not the decision maker for me.

Well you see the price keeps going up and up and up, they might be breaking even on each GT-R by now, but still likely they are losing money.

The sales now are dismal too. So every time they redesign something, more red ink flowing.

Not to mention the years of R&D it took to build that machine.

Hahaha, you are really close! It's an L instead of the R there in the middle (kolfiber). I'll give you a B+ on that one.
