Welcome Back: 2007 Porsche 911 GT3

Remember, the winner gets to kiss Mr. Clarkson...


Today, I went for the 2007 Porsche 911 GT3, not the RS because we'll pick that up later, which comes with the plastic back window and part of Forza Motorsport 4's Porsche Expansion pack. What you get here is RWD, sports seats, yellow seatbelts that make you look interesting and a 415HP 3.6L B6 engine that can get you away from people before they discovered you're not.




The GT3 is Darwin's Evolution. Decades of German engineering have brought us with this car. Aficionados have gone weak and feeble at the mere mention of this name. There are many reasons why most of them love this car but for Clarkson, he hates the gearbox, the yellow seatbelts, and some kind of lap timer. Most of all, the only thing he hates most that the GT3 wasn't made to tolerating fools and he's a fool.

Jeremy Clarkson drove this one on Top Gear and when handed to The Stig, it lapped an amazing 1:23.1 at the Top Gear Test Track. This car was featured on Jeremy Clarkson's 2007 DVD, Supercar Showdown, and he crashed it, slightly. Despite the minor crash, this car was handed over to The Stig and defeated the Audi R8, driven by Nurburgring genius Sabine Schmitz.
