UK magazine "Car Magazine"This is the June 2018 issue of (What is the June issue now ...). * For copyright protection, the text in the magazine is blurred.
It was the 70th anniversary of Porsche, and the content was centered on Porsche
No, I hadn't seen the June issue at all. Suddenly, I was curious and thought, "Oh, by the way, the June issue?" What. Oooh, Porsche 70th anniversary version from the cover! !!That's right, it's June 2018.That's right!
So, while thinking "I overlooked such an important June issue!", I took a look at the Porsche-san who were posted on Taku-san.
"2018 is the year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Porsche's first road car, the 356. ... An article commemorating the 70th anniversary of Porsche, which begins with "The richest, most colorful automotive stories of all time: to the 911" by the wonderful Porsche 356! !!

Even after 70 years, Porsche is still based on the "356 rule".
It is written that Porsche 911 is still made based on "356 rules", and the four rules are as follows.
・ Rear mount engine
・ Curve (basically, the design draws a round curve)
・ Successful as a motor sport
・ It feels like it has been carved out (light but firm, like)
The article goes on to Porsche 917, Porsche 956, Porsche 962.
Porsche GT3 RS special feature
Furthermore, there is also a GT3 RS special feature! I really praise you (laughs).
Porsche GT3 RS 991.2 has the best sound from 8,500 rpm
"The sound from 8,500 rpm is very unique. It's like the sound of an old F1 layered on the fireworks that were launched. ”… But the expression is also very unique (laughs). What kind of sound is that? ?? I want to hear!
But anyway, I'm saying "It's one of the best sounds any 911 has ever made", so I'm really listening to what it sounds like. I want to see it.
Furthermore, "Once you hear it, you will want to hear it many times, and you will end up asking for that sound over and over again." I want to hear it (laughs)! !! !! However, the sound that can be heard for the first time after rotating the GT3 RS by 8,500 rotations ... It seems that ordinary people can hardly hear it ... Ugh. Someday! !! !!

* The official website says 520bhp, but for some reason this magazine says it's 513bhp, so I'm posting it as it is ... Articles on various sites around May 2018 also stated that it was 513bhp, so maybe it was announced at that time with a numerical value of 513bhp? ??
Difference between GT3RS 991.1 (991 early model) and 991.2 (991 late model)
The difference between the GT3 RS 991 early model and the 991 late model is roughly summarized, but it was written. Compared to 991.1, 991.2 of GT3RS is ... as follows. Not all the differences in the details are written, but it's just a rough excerpt of the main differences.
Aerodynamics: New diffuser, wide skirt, wider front spoiler, spoiler lip, new rear wing, etc. increase downforce by 8%
・ Power is 513 horsepower, which is 20 horsepower up (* Officially written as 520 ps). With better valve gear, new exhaust and induction system, and tuned electronics, the red line is 9,000 rpm.
・ There is a sticker on the side of the body (it says GT3RS)
-New black taillights, LED turn signals on the front, NACA ducts on the bonnet to cool the brakes, and all intakes have been reviewed to let air in and out.
-The front and back are set to the same spring rate as GT2RS, and a rose joint is used. Suspension rate is doubled at the front and 50% at the rear
-Titanium exhaust, silencer and tail pipe are made of titanium. It should make a good sound! (←… was written (laughs))
-Forged wheels. The front is 20 inches and the rear is 21 inches, but it's 100 grams lighter than before. (A little weight reduction is also important!)
・ Weissach Pack: Carbon roof and magnesium forged wheels are provided as options for weight reduction.
・ Equipped with the latest 991.2 touch screen in the car
The greatest Porsche that Car Magazine chooses ...?
In addition, as a feature article, there was a list of 70 cars selected because "which is the greatest Porsche (of the past Porsche models)", but what was selected as an index I was not convinced that I was out.
… But the number one place was “991 911R”. This is a solid compliment, "The greatest 911".
By the way, the second place is the "911 2.7 RS" car made in 1973. If you write so far, you'll be worried about the next (laughs). Then up to 3rd place. The third place is "918 Spyder".
I'm about to write all 70 of them as it is, so I'll end it here (laughs)! !!
I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
