The Carrera GT and RUF CT3R are both mid-engined supercars, that should appeal to Porsche enthusiats

The Porsche Carrera GT succeeds the 911 GT1 and is heavily inspired by LM GT1 race cars

The RUF CTR3 follows a similar phylosophy, but is more track-focused

The Carrera GT's V-10 was originally meant for GT1 racing and puts out 603 hp and 435 lb-ft

RUF CTR3 EVO features a heavily-modified flat-6 and one of the last Mezger engines. It puts out 789 hp and 730 lb-ft

Unlike the Carrera GT's exquisite cabin, the CTR3 EVO offers a stripped-down racecar cockpit with bucket seats

Underneath all the leather and carbon fiber in the RUF CTR3 EVO, you will find a Porsche 987 dashboard

A proper driver's car: the Carrera GT has no traction control and the only available transmission is a 6-speed manual with anti-stall function

The 5.7-liter V-10 in the Carera GT screams to over 8,000 RPM. It allows for 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph

The RUF CTR3 EVO's twin-turbo boxer engine propels it to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 236 mph

Between 2004 and 2006, just 1,270 examples of the Porsche Carrera GT were built

The EVO is the most hardcore variant of all RUF CTR3 models. Introduced in 2023, production was limtied to just 15 examples

This makes it about twice as affordable as the average Carrera GT at cots close to $1.8 million today

Karsten Arndt from Alte Schule YouTube channel recently caught up with Walter Röhrl in Bavaria to discuss cars

More specifically, the Porsche Carrera GT and the McLaren F1

For those of you who are unaware, Röhrl is a two-time WRC champion who later on worked as a Porsche works driver

The German test driver was instrumental in developing the Carrera GT in the late '90s early 2000s

In the video, Röhrl goes over some of the challenges faced during the Carrera GT's development

He highlights the car's unique features: mid-engine, 612 horsepower, and no electronic aids

Walter also reveals that several supercars from the time were used to benchmark against the Carrera GT, during the development

While he mentions cars like the Porsche 959 and the Ferrari F50, it was the McLaren F1 that they really wanted to pit the CGT with

That unfortunately never happened. But fast forward two decades and BMW Classic obliged to provide a pristine McLaren F1 for this feature

An excited Röhrl takes the presenter, Karsten for a test drive in the McLaren F1

Röhrl initially struggles with the car's lack of power steering and central seating position

According to Röhrl, just like with the Carrera GT, the F1's extreme performance, lack of electronic aids, and powerful engine are its highlights

Upon pulling over, Walter admits this McLaren could be easily damaged by an inexperienced driver due to its immense power and handling

Only 106 McLaren F1s were ever made, and they now command $20 million dollars

Walter's dream of driving the McLaren F1 came to fruition and he finally got to savor Gordon Murray's masterpiece.

Chevrolet recently announced its long-awaited track-focused Corvette ZR1 for the 2025 model year

But how does it stack up against the next GT2 RS? We break it down based on what we know about Porsche upcoming model

The first 911 GT2 arrived in 1993 in the form of the 993 generation. It had a 444-hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six

Comparatively, the Corvette ZR1 dates back even further in 1970. It packed a 370-hp 5.7-liter V8

Currently, the C8-gen Corvette ZR1 packs some otherworldly specs. A 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that's rated to a maximum of 1,064 hp!

While Chevrolet is enjoying the attention, there's a new 911 GT2 RS in the works

The 992-gen 911 GT2 RS is expected to be the most potent 911 ever made

There's a higher chance of a twin-turbo flat-six, the same as the 911 Turbo model, will power the 992 911 GT2 RS

You could be looking at 800 hp, since the 991-gen 911 GT2 RS produce 691 hp. A 100 hp would be a solid bump

There's a thin chance that the upcoming 911 GT2 RS will outshine the Corvette ZR1 in raw performance

However, the GT2 RS's lightweight construction can give the Corvette a hard time in acceleration

The Corvette ZR1 is a track weapon and adopts all the chassis goodies of the Z06, including the Magnetic Ride Control 4.0.

The ZR1 packs massive 15.7-inch carbon ceramic rotors as standard

We expect the 911 GT2 RS to feature chassis features such as rear-axle steering, DRS, and the fully adjustable suspension system

Chevrolet unveiled the highly anticipated C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for 2025

This is the first mid-engined Corvette to carry the ZR1 badge, a name synonymous with track-performance

But how does it stack up against the Porsche 911 GT3 RS?

The ZR1's LT7 engine is a 5.5L flat-plane crank V8 with twin-turbos, that produces 1,064 horsepower

The GT3 RS packs a naturally-aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine that produces 518 horsepower

The ZR1's design is aggressive and muscular, featuring iconic split rear windows

The ZTK package enhances downforce with a high-performance rear wing, front dive planes, and underbody strakes

This allows the Chevy to produce up to 1,200 pounds of downforce at its top speed of 215+ mph

Massive carbon ceramic brakes complement the ZR1's aerodynamic enhancements

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, making up to 1,896 pounds of downforce at 177 mph

The GT3 RS features a drag reduction system and an airbrake for enhanced performance

While the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is praised for its precision handling, the ZR1 offers raw power and brute force in spades

The ZR1 is estimated to be priced between $180,000 and $205,000 making it cheaper than the GT3 RS at $241,300.

The 2025 update for the Porsche 911 Carrera doesn't stop with the engine

It also includes revisions to the suspension, brakes, exterior, and interior

The 992.2 Carrera doesn't feature the T-Hybrid powertrain, but gets bigger turbochargers from the 992.1 GTS

The 992.2 Carrera and GTS also get revised dampers that react more quickly and feature a softer setting at the front

The 992.2 Carrera gets bigger brakes than the 992.1 Carrera S

The GTS turbochargers work at a lower boost setting in the 992.2 Carrera, resulting in only 9 hp more than the 992.1 Carrera

Despite peak torque still being rated at 332 lb-ft, the 992.2 Carrera should provide better mid-range punch, ideal for city driving

Exterior revisions are subtle and most prominent in the front apron of the 992.2

992.2 Carrera dyno tests might reveal a pleasant surprise as the previous, 992.1 Carrera was severely underrated from the factory

For 2025, the 911 Carrera gets new LED HD Matrix headlights

In the cabin, the 992.2 Carrera gets a fully-digital gauge cluster that's highly-customizable

The physical key is replaced by a Start-Stop button, but keeps the same location, as inherited by Le Mans race cars

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera starts at $122,095. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche recently unveiled its first-ever production hybrid 911, the 992.2 GTS

The performance difference between the new 2025 992.2 911 Carrera GTS and the older 992.1 911 Turbo isn't significant

The 992.2 911 Carrera GTS debuts the T-Hybrid system, incorporating a new 3.6-liter mono-turbo flat-six and an e-motor in the 8-speed PDK

As a result, the hybrid powertrain pushes out 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet of torque

0-60 mph comes at 2.9 seconds and top speed is limited to 194 mph

The 992.1 911 Turbo uses the good ol' pure ICE power, thanks to a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six. It churns out 572 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque

Being more potent, it's quicker to 60 mph; it takes only 2.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at 199 mph

As for driving dynamics, the new 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid isn't any slouch, and its e-turbo makes sure you're always on boost

The 911 Turbo, on the other hand, feels laggy in the lower revs, even with two turbos

The 2025 911 Carrera GTS isn't available readily and you may have to wait for a while depending on the backlog of orders

On the other hand, the 992.1 911 Turbo could be readily available at your nearest Porsche dealership

Swapping in a V-8 in a Porsche 911 is a sacrilege, according to purists, but there are some obvious advantages when doing it on a 997 Carrera/ Carrera S

Many Porsche flat-6 engines are experiencing bore scoring and IMS failure - both expensive to fix problems, warranting an engine rebuild at $30,000

An LS3 crate motor from GM solves those issues and adds performance, and CPE has the most comprehensive kit for the purpose

CPE's LS V-8 engine swap for the Porsche 911 is an easy conversion, and costs much less than rebuilding the stock engine at a Porsche dealer

CPE's V-8 conversion includes a proprietary, single-mass flywheel

The stock Porsche 997 Carrera S made 350 hp and 295 lb-ft on the crankshaft

The new V-8 engine packs 495 hp and over 420 lb-ft

Less weight: despite almost twice the displacement, the GM V-8 engine is over 40 lbs lighter than the boxer engine

This particular Porsche, owned by "Street Bandito" also gets carbon fiber bits that would shave even more weight

Swipe up to learn more about the advantages of an LS V-8 engine swap on a 911 and how much it costs.
