Your Ears Deserve To Hear This Porsche 911 GT3 Rally Car
We have quite a soft spot for rear-wheel drive rally cars here at CT, particularly ones of the Porsche variety. We went all gooey inside when Porsche revealed a concept Cayman GT4 rally car a couple of months ago, and we’re now finding ourselves swooning over this 996-generation 911 GT3 rally car.
Yep, it is indeed a 996 as far as we can gather - it looks to have been given the round headlamps of a 997. But don’t get distracted by the curious conversion - just hit play and watch driver Ruben Zeltner ring the car’s neck in this highlights video.
You’re going to be wanting some headphones for this.

If I’ve owned a 996 911, I would get the facelifted one and maybe tape the headlights just like this one, it looks a little weird but still, 911s should ALWAYS have rounded headlights.
Mad respect for all rally drivers still driving RWD in this world and age. The few seconds of rain in this video show why… As to this car in particular… my inner ear had goosebumps too.
