Transcript

00:00 G'day, I'm Paul. Today is a special day. No, it's not because that's a 911 GT3, this is

00:05 a closed broody ground. It is because this is a 911 GT3 that you could only buy in Australia.

00:11 So it is called the 911 GT3 Touring 70th Anniversary, and it's here to celebrate the 70th anniversary

00:19 of the first Porsche to arrive in Australia. And because the first Porsche to arrive in

00:23 Australia was a 356, this kind of mimics a lot of those design elements, including this

00:28 paint, which is called fish silver grey metallic. You see the inside's got similar highlights

00:34 as well. So look, it's a really special car in that regard. The other thing as well is

00:39 this car has been brought to Australia for a bit of promo stuff, and then it's going

00:42 to disappear back to Porsche's museum once we're done with it. So, see ya. This is priced

00:48 at just under $500,000 before you add any options. But if that's too expensive, the

00:53 entire 911 range kicks off at under $250,000. Now this is kind of unique because it doesn't

00:58 really have a great deal of competitors, but if I was to call some out, it'd be stuff like

01:02 the Nissan GTR Nismo, and stuff like the Mercedes AMG GTR. You've got other cars around the

01:08 place, but they're the two, I guess, main competitors to it.

01:11 Today we're going to do a detailed review of this car, so if you do want to skip ahead

01:14 to other parts of the review, you can use the time codes on the screen, or if you're

01:18 on YouTube, you can scroll down and use the chapters below. And if you do want to help

01:21 us grow and support us, make sure you subscribe to our channel and press the bell icon, because

01:25 that's going to tell you every single time we drive these very special, unique, limited

01:29 editions.

01:32 Let's talk about the exterior. So I mentioned before, only one colour is available. Fish

01:37 silver grey metallic mimics that first Porsche that arrived in Australia. In terms of the

01:41 rest of the design, the GT3, if you don't know exactly what it is, it's basically a

01:46 race car for the road. It literally has an engine out of a race car, and it shares the

01:51 same part numbers and everything. So it is pretty unique in the sense that this is a

01:55 vehicle you can take to the racetrack, flog the absolute bejesus out of, and then drive

01:59 home. It is the complete package when it comes to that type of thing.

02:03 And in terms of design changes, the GT3 has these scoops here on the bonnet for cooling.

02:08 Down the bottom here you've got more cooling, and then quite an aggressive front lip. This

02:12 will obviously catch on literally every driveway you've ever been in. So it does have a front

02:16 lifter. You flick a button and then the front lifts up, so you don't scrape this and do

02:21 any damage to the vehicle as you're getting in and out of driveways.

02:24 It's an incredible design, and the Touring is different to the standard GT3 because the

02:28 regular GT3 has an enormous wing on the back and it looks quite aggressive. The Touring

02:32 is designed to give you the same performance potential, but without all the aggressive,

02:37 sporty looking things on it.

02:38 Over here you've got a set of full LED headlights. I love this quad spotlight design, so when

02:44 the car's driving along you can see that lighting up, and then in the centre there you have

02:47 a powerful LED headlight with adaptive lighting as well. So it is a proper setup. You don't

02:52 really have any compromises there at all.

02:55 On the side there you've got an indicator. Now let's have a look at these wheels. So

02:59 the car comes standard with a set of Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. You can get the Cup R on

03:05 these as well, so that's the tyre they use to set the Nurburgring lap time, but in standard

03:10 trim this is the tyre that you're getting. It's a pretty aggressive tyre, so in the wet

03:13 it's not going to have a great deal of traction compared to a sporty tyre, but it is going

03:18 to get you there. If you go to the Cup R you've got basically no traction in the wet at all.

03:23 It's a 20-inch rim at the front and then it goes to a 21-inch rim at the rear, and they're

03:27 big fat tyres, so this is a 255 here and over 300mm wide at the back. The brakes are enormous

03:33 as well, so this is just a steel brake. You can get a carbon ceramic brake package as

03:37 well, but this rotor here measures 408mm, which is bigger than the previous generation

03:42 of the GT3, and then in addition to that you have six piston calipers at the front here,

03:46 four piston at the rear. I love this centre lock here, that just looks, it just makes

03:51 it, it completes that race car look, and you can get this on other 911 models, but I think

03:56 it's perfectly fitting here for the GT3 because it really just tells everyone that this is

04:01 indeed a race car. This is where you fill the fuel on a 911, so it's not at the back

04:06 there because that's where your engine is, so pretty cool setup there, and I'll run you

04:09 through the boot as well because that is up the front here as well, not at the back. So

04:12 on your wing mirror there you have really nothing attached to that. This doesn't have

04:16 a 360 camera, you don't have any indicator built into that, it is just built for aero,

04:21 but you can tuck that in if you do have a narrow park or something like that, you don't

04:25 want anyone ripping your mirror off. Have a look at the height of it. So I'm 185cm tall,

04:30 getting in and out of this is a little tricky for me, but it kind of gives you an impression

04:34 of just how low this car is to the ground. The GT3 sits lower than a standard 911 too,

04:40 thanks to that sport suspension, so it really does hug the road quite nicely. The 70th anniversary,

04:45 in addition to the custom colours and some of the stuff I'll run you through on the interior,

04:49 gets this badge on the side that reads '70 Years Porsche Australia Edition'. There's

04:53 also a sealed plate inside the cabin that does the same thing. In addition to this, Porsche

04:57 also has a custom cover for the key, so you get a leather cover for it, but the actual

05:02 key is completed in the same colour as the bodywork. And then have a look at this, when

05:06 you do lock the 911, rub your finger on that and then that tucks away, and then when you

05:12 do want to unlock it, you just put your finger under there. So, pretty cool setup and it

05:15 kind of, again, it's just one of those little aero things that will help you get every little

05:19 bit of extra time you can out of the racetrack when you are going hard. Have a look at this,

05:24 they are absolutely enormous. I love how imposing that looks, and 315mm wide at the rear, this

05:30 is a properly big stance when you look at it as it comes around the back there. So,

05:35 come around to the rear of the car, I'll show you some of this stuff. Have a look at this,

05:38 how good does this look? So, I don't know, the GT3 looks out of this world with that

05:42 huge wing, the adjustable wing they have on the back, but this really just gives it a

05:47 whole other character. And I think that if you don't want that boy racer look, the Touring

05:50 really neatens it up nicely, but doesn't really compromise all that much in terms of performance.

05:55 So, you still know that it's a GT3 because they have GT3 Touring written here. This is

05:59 your engine cover, so that pops open, you've got a little brake light in there as well.

06:04 Can't really see much with the engine because, yes, it is rear engine, but it's tucked away

06:08 nicely so if you're going to be doing any work on this it'll be going back to Porsche,

06:11 I don't think you'll be touching any of that yourself. This spoiler comes out at speed.

06:17 Behind here you've got an LED light that looks fantastic at night time. Porsche writing just

06:22 here and twin exhaust outlets plus a diffuser down the bottom there for the GT3. So, it

06:27 is such a good looking vehicle. I just, I don't know, I'm in love with it. Now, let

06:32 me know what you think in the comments section below. Are you a big Porsche fan or would

06:35 you be buying something else? This is a lot of money, but remember it is a limited edition

06:39 that is only available in Australia. Let me know what you think in the comments section

06:43 below. Porsche or are you going for some other brand of car and why?

06:47 So we are inside the GT3, 70th anniversary of the Touring edition. Let's start off with

06:54 the keys. So, this is what it looks like. It's in the shape of a car, which I reckon

06:57 is pretty cool. You've got the Porsche logo up the top, unlock, lock, front boot and then

07:03 on the back it's blank. Now, this is the body colour as well. So, Porsche has gone to effort

07:09 to kind of give it that appearance. You can actually option on, I think, every Porsche

07:13 to get your key in the body colour as well. So, it's a proximity sensing key. So, you

07:17 leave that in your pocket, grab the door handle and once you're inside you have effectively

07:21 what looks like a key, but it is the starter over here on the right hand side.

07:25 So, let's talk about the design. So, this being, I guess, a limited edition, a special

07:29 car that they've built from scratch, Porsche has designed what they wanted this to look

07:34 like. So, they've used elements like this, which matches the body colour. You've got

07:38 GT3, 70 years Porsche Australia edition there. In addition to that, they've used crayon here

07:43 on the gear stick with the stitching and also at the 12 o'clock position. This harks back

07:47 to that first 356 that came to Australia. Then on the dash, I love this material. It

07:53 looks like alligator skin, the way that they've finished that off. Then they've got that faux

07:57 suede on the roof there. The seats are pretty special as well. So, you've got the Porsche

08:02 crest up the top there. You've got this tartan material, which kind of also matches what

08:07 they did with the 356 that came to Australia. This comes standard with the bucket seats.

08:12 So, these things really hug you in nicely. Exposed carbon there, slots for your harness

08:19 as well, should you want to install one. So, it is a pretty special place to be seated

08:24 and tell you what, the changes they've made to this are really tasteful and yeah, they

08:30 just suit the car beautifully. So, big thumbs up from me on the design here and the elements

08:35 that they've added to it.

08:36 What about your touch points? Well, in the centre here, you've got a 70 there. This is

08:40 firm and on the door, it's firm as well. How firm is it? Well, we've got our durometer,

08:45 we've tested the main surfaces in this cabin. If you want to see how this car compares to

08:50 other cars that we've tested before, have a look at the link in the description. Now,

08:53 build quality. It is all nice and solid as we get infested by flies here and then door

09:00 sound. Let's have a listen. Yeah, that sounds really nice and solid as well.

09:05 Let's talk about infotainment. So, it comes standard with a 10.9-inch infotainment screen.

09:10 It's actually a really good infotainment system. If you cast your mind back to 911, I think

09:17 that had the older school infotainment system, this is a really big step forward in terms

09:22 of what's on offer. It's a higher resolution screen. You've got plenty of fun stuff to

09:27 play with here, including navigation built into the screen. You have AM, FM, DAB plus

09:32 digital radio, 12-speaker Bose branded sound system as well that sort of does a pretty

09:36 good job. Over-the-air updates too, so you can actually get new features added to the

09:40 infotainment system. An example of this is they added wireless Apple CarPlay to it, so

09:44 it now does that function without you needing to go back to the dealership and doing other

09:49 bits and pieces. So, yeah, really impressive setup there.

09:52 This is also where you control some of the drive settings. So, I'll go through this in

09:55 a bit more detail when we do go for a spin, but you do have main functions here and then

09:59 secondary functions into this screen as well. You can also configure the steering wheel

10:03 button to do different things too. So, really nice infotainment system.

10:07 Now, ahead of the driver you've got an additional two screens that flank that centre display

10:12 there that has an analogue tachometer, but the rest of it is digital. And they've just

10:16 presented it really nicely, gives you the key information you need. And again, when

10:20 we go for a drive I'll run you through some of the different drive options that change

10:23 the display on the screen ahead of the driver. And I'm still a huge fan of Sport Chrono,

10:28 so that adds that stopwatch up the top there that you can control through the steering

10:32 wheel or the infotainment display as well. Now, this is what Apple CarPlay looks like.

10:37 So, pretty much a full screen integration, nice and sharp and fast as well. Then you

10:42 have voice recognition here on the steering wheel, which means you just blast a command

10:45 at it and then it just does all of the hard work for you. And this is what Android Auto

10:49 looks like. So, again, full screen integration and pretty sharp and quick as well.

10:56 Moving on to safety tech. Look, this is a bit of a funny one because with safety technology

11:02 you know, it's built for cars that are in and around the city, carrying family and that

11:06 kind of thing. Safety tech is actually more of a problem in a vehicle like this because

11:10 on a racetrack you don't want the stuff intervening when you're trying to go for a fast lap. So,

11:15 this really just has the basics. So, you have autonomous emergency braking. You can get

11:19 the 911 with a lane departure warning and a lane keeping assistant and things like blind

11:23 spot monitoring as well. But in terms of the GT3, it is very much about just going as fast

11:29 as you can without getting interrupted while you're doing that. On the parking front you

11:34 just have rear parking sensors and a reverse view camera. I'll show you what that looks

11:38 like. Okay, the quality of that is terrible. So, it's really low resolution and we've got

11:44 our suitcase there with the lettering on it. You can read it, which is good, but you can

11:48 see from that vision that it is pretty low resolution. But you do get your sonar sensors

11:52 down the bottom there, which is a good thing, I guess.

11:56 Moving on to practicality and we'll start with your connectivity. So, in here you have

12:00 two USB-C outlets. You have a little nook there for your phone. So, in terms of storing

12:06 your phone, it can kind of rest in there or it can just live in the centre here within

12:10 that nook. Other storage nooks, you've got that little slot there. You've got a little

12:14 one here just next to the driver and then you also have your centre console here. It's

12:19 also a glove box as well. Not overly big though. Once you've got the manual in there, everything

12:25 squeezes into there. So, yeah, obviously I'm not expecting this to have huge storage, but

12:29 that's what it is. You do have storage behind the seat though. So, because this doesn't

12:33 have two passenger seats behind the driver, you've got plenty of room to put odds and

12:37 ends in there, bags, perhaps even golf clubs or something like that if they don't fit into

12:42 the front bonnet.

12:43 What about your comfort? Well, you have dual zone automatic climate control. That is about

12:49 it in terms of anything else. There's no heated seats or anything else to play with there.

12:54 In terms of seats themselves, so these are the bucket seats. When you get in, it is a

12:58 little difficult to get in just because you've got to sit over the lip and then fall into

13:02 the seat and away you go. It also means they have limited adjustments. So, you can move

13:06 the seat electrically up and down and you can go forwards and backwards manually, but

13:13 outside of that, the bucket is pretty much fixed in that position. So, you're not going

13:17 to have too much flexibility, but the driving position is fantastic and the steering wheel

13:20 has both tilt and reach adjustments. So, you can basically set it up exactly how you want

13:25 to and look, I mean, it is literally the perfect driving position. I really wouldn't want to

13:29 change much about it.

13:30 Now let's talk cargo. Because there is no boot back there, you store your bags up the

13:35 front here and there is 132 litres of cargo space. It's actually not too bad. It's really,

13:44 really deep. So, it doesn't fit our big suitcase, unfortunately. You'll see if I try to put

13:49 that in, the wheels just get snagged. So, if you did take the wheels off, this would

13:53 actually slot in there without too many problems, but it does fit our laptop bag without too

13:58 many dramas at all.

14:00 I will call out something cool here under the bonnet. This is a carbon plastic composite.

14:05 So, to reduce weight, they've developed that material there for the bonnet and it is, obviously,

14:11 it's on struts here, but you can just tell that this is light as a feather. So, pretty

14:16 cool setup there for the GT3.

14:20 Okay, so we have hit the road in the GT3. Now, it is pretty loud in here, so I'm going

14:29 to speak up a little bit, because remember, this is a race car for the road. Before we

14:33 do any faster driving, I'm going to run you through just the basics of this and how you

14:37 would live with it as a daily driver.

14:40 We'll start off with the engine. Four litre, six cylinder, naturally aspirated, so no turbo

14:45 charges or superchargers here, and it produces 375 kilowatts of power and 470 newton metres

14:53 of torque. The other crazy part is the 9000 RPM redline. It is just a stupid number, because

15:00 when you think about cars, you're getting into motorbike territory when you get above

15:06 that 7000-8000 RPM mark. So, it is cool to see that these revs are all the way out there

15:11 and it will happily do it daily.

15:12 I mentioned earlier that this engine is shared with Porsche's race car, so you can just imagine

15:18 that in that race car this is going to be mercilessly hammered and it will just get

15:23 up and do it again the next day. So, it's a pretty cool setup and it's nice to see that

15:27 Porsche really has a direct link between their race vehicles and their road cars.

15:31 Now, it's all mated to either a six-speed manual, which is what we've got here in the

15:35 car, or a seven-speed dual clutch. Now, the big difference between them is acceleration.

15:40 The manual is slightly slower to 100 kilometres an hour than the PDK. Now, that's mainly just

15:45 because of launch control and gear shift, so the PDK will always shift quicker than

15:49 a human possibly can. But, I mean, you're buying a GT3, you need to get a manual because

15:54 it is a driver's car and this is the gearbox that you want to have. And unlike other 911

15:58 models that come with a seven-speed, this is only available with a six-speed for the

16:01 manual transmission.

16:02 Now, what does that gearbox feel like? I reckon I could just sit in the car all day

16:10 playing with the gearbox. It is so direct, you can really just rifle through those gears,

16:15 it's a short throw, it's exactly where you expect it to be and, I don't know, it is just

16:20 the perfect position for shifting fast. Then, in addition to that, if you do feel like hill

16:25 towing, that is where you're riding the brake and grabbing the throttle on a downshift to

16:30 match the gearbox with the driveline, you've got enough spacing there between the brake

16:34 and the throttle and the throttle is mounted from the floor, so it sits up like that, you

16:38 can really just rest your foot over that and grab it as you go. Or, alternatively, you

16:42 can actually set this to blip the throttle on its own, so if I go now from third to second,

16:49 it's done all of that on its own, I haven't actually touched any of that. So, pretty cool

16:53 setup so if you do want to be lazy and you want people to think that you're a professional

16:57 hill tower, you just flick that switch or if you do want to drive for yourself, you

17:00 just do it all yourself. Now, speaking of which, you have other settings available here,

17:04 you have your sports exhaust, so if I press that, it immediately gets louder and I'll

17:09 show you what that sounds like. Drop back to second here.

17:12 That sound is absolutely unreal.

17:23 The engine is like right there and when it revs all the way out there towards the red

17:34 line, it is just making an incredible sound inside the cabin. It sounds great outside

17:38 as well, but inside the cabin it is just filling this entire space with that flat six humming

17:45 away. It is interesting as well, if you go down in the settings here to the chassis,

17:49 normally in the 911 you can pick like normal sport, track, in this instance it's just sport

17:55 or track. There's no messing about here, it's either just sport or track. Now, over here

17:59 on the right hand side, you have some other drive settings as well, so you can flick through

18:03 them with this function on the steering wheel, so you've got your full map display, sport

18:07 chrono, so I can click on this, hit start and it starts the timer up the top there and

18:11 I'm able to stop, do new laps and do everything you want to do there. Then in addition to

18:16 that you've got your G-meters, so as we're going around corners it's going to give you

18:20 the G's that you're hitting. You've got a tyre pressure monitor and then the performance

18:23 meter, so as this revs out it tells you where your peak performance is, because the second

18:28 you go past that marker there towards red line, you are losing performance, you may

18:32 as well be in another gear, so that manages that whole process for you too. So, it's a

18:36 pretty good setup there in terms of what the driver sees. Now, I mentioned earlier that

18:39 if you do head to the racetrack, you can flick around here to track mode. When you go into

18:43 track mode, everything around the driver display disappears and just gives you your

18:47 critical information such as your temperature, your driving range and then your speed and

18:51 revs. That is really all you need when you are going in full attack mode.

18:54 Now, what's the ride like as a daily? Look, I'm not going to lie, it is pretty firm, but

18:59 ultimately if you're buying this, you're going to have to compromise somewhere, because a

19:03 vehicle that's set up like this to do over 300 kilometres an hour, and fun fact, the

19:08 manual goes slightly faster than the auto. The manual does 320 versus 318 in the auto,

19:13 but yeah, when you do have it set up like this, you will have compromise, and in this

19:16 instance, it's low profile tyres, firm suspension, means that as you are doing your daily run,

19:21 going over tram tracks and stuff like that, it will bounce around a little bit and then

19:25 it gets worse as you go into the sportier settings where you're getting a more aggressive

19:29 steering and suspension tune as well. But, as a daily, it's pretty easy to drive, the

19:32 steering's nice and light, the gearbox is very easy to drive, it doesn't have a really

19:37 heavy clutch or anything too crazy, it really is just a good compromise between hardcore

19:42 sports car and daily driven road car.

19:45 Porsche claims a fuel economy of 12.6 litres per 100km, I'm not even going to bother showing

19:50 it to you here, because the car was trucked to the proving ground, it can't be driven

19:53 on a public road, and it's just pointless, we've been fanging it around here and it's

19:58 like 30 litres per 100km or something crazy like that, so we're not going to get anything

20:03 out of actually trying to figure out how much this will use as a daily.

20:07 It comes standard with four-wheel steering, so at low speeds you're going to see it invert

20:11 a little bit to give you a tighter turning circle, and at higher speeds rear wheels turn

20:15 in the same direction as the front wheels to make it tuck in more and just get the body

20:19 nice and controlled through a corner.

20:22 In addition to that, ride height, stiffness of anti-roll bars and camber can be adjusted

20:26 on both the front and rear axles, so if you do have a preferred setup for the racetrack,

20:30 that stuff can be customised to your needs, but I think for an average driver you're probably

20:35 going to be happy with the setup that it comes out of the factory with.

20:38 The other thing worth pointing out as well is there is an electronic rear diff lock.

20:41 It's an interesting car because it has a tonne of mechanical grip, and that is thanks to

20:47 the tyres, the amount of grip and the traction that those Michelin tyres give you.

20:52 When that becomes unstuck, you're then driving a car with an engine that hangs out the back,

20:56 and that means that if it does become unstuck you've really got to be watching your P's

21:00 and Q's because it will fling around very quickly if you're not exactly watching what

21:04 you're doing.

21:05 It's visibility-like, so look, it's not great, but I think that's just because I'm sitting

21:09 quite low in the seat here.

21:10 I can't really see down the front there.

21:11 A bit of an issue because it doesn't have front parking sensors, so you're going to

21:14 have to really be careful when you are parking this to make sure that you don't nudge it

21:18 up against anything.

21:19 The wing mirrors are big enough so you can clearly see down the sides there with those

21:22 big hips at the back, and visibility out the back is really good too.

21:26 Look, you've got rear parking sensors and a reverse view camera, so it's going to be

21:29 enough for parking this, but yep, I would be very careful of the wheels and also the

21:33 front end during low-speed driving.

21:35 OK, let's flick this over to Sport mode.

21:38 We've got Auto Blip active.

21:40 Oh man, the sound is just so good.

21:44 You know, tyres are still warming up here, but the noise is absolutely unreal.

21:53 It is sitting dead flat through corners.

21:57 Oh man, as the pace picks up as well, it is...

22:03 I'm finding it hard to concentrate here on driving and also talking at the same time.

22:09 Yeah, I'm genuinely lost for words.

22:12 This is absolutely unreal.

22:13 A lot of people will complain, not... sort of force, induction, no turbocharger.

22:21 Can it really be that good?

22:25 Yeah, it is just unreal.

22:28 It's such a free-flowing engine, and as you roll onto the throttle, it just keeps delivering.

22:34 It's so eager to please.

22:37 You can almost just drive it in second and third, and it's just going to give you smiles

22:43 all day long as we roll onto the back straight here.

22:48 Oh man, absolutely unreal.

22:51 The brakes are incredible too.

22:53 You can just stand on the anchors and it really pulls it up nicely.

22:56 There's no sort of inconsistency in pedal feel.

23:00 The steering feels fantastic in sport mode.

23:03 Look, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know here.

23:08 Yeah, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know here, but this thing is absolutely

23:13 unreal.

23:14 I am genuinely just lost for words.

23:16 I think in the hands of a super capable driver, you can see why this sets incredible Nürburgring

23:24 lap times.

23:25 And to think that the GT3 is two runs down from stuff like a GT3 RS and a GT2 RS, yeah,

23:34 I'm trying to catch up my breathing here to talk about this, but yeah, it is unreal.

23:38 The sound is amazing.

23:39 The way that it just sticks through corners is cool.

23:44 It is just the ultimate sports car and the fact that you can get it here in the Touring

23:47 Trim means that you can prowl around the streets and then when you do finally hit the track

23:51 or a freeway on-ramp, you just unleash fury on everyone around you.

24:03 Now let's talk 0-100.

24:05 So the official number for the manual is 3.9 seconds.

24:08 It's 3.4 seconds if you opt for the PDK.

24:13 So let's give it a crack here.

24:14 I don't want to destroy this car because it's going to the museum, so I'm just going to

24:18 be a little gentle, but yeah, we'll give it a shot anyway and we'll see exactly how it

24:22 goes.

24:23 That is f***ing unreal.

24:24 So, like I said in the video, 911 GT3, I'm not telling you something that you don't

24:54 already know.

24:55 This car is absolutely sensational.

24:58 Just the fact that it exists is pretty cool in an era today where it's all about EVs.

25:04 This is a naturally aspirated race car for the road and I love the fact that Australia

25:08 now has its own version of the GT3.

25:11 It's like the 911 Sandman edition and it's cool to see that this will exist in a museum

25:16 where we can all go and check it out down the track.

25:18 So I'll try and get a photo of this overseas with me in front of it or something like that.

25:22 But yeah, awesome car.

25:23 Love the fact that you can still get it in a manual and it is a visceral, just pure driving

25:28 experience.

25:29 So can you live with it as a daily?

25:30 I don't know.

25:31 I think the lack of front parking sensors would be a bit of a worry and yeah, it's a

25:36 little bit rough and all that sort of stuff, but if you are genuinely interested in track

25:39 driving, this is the ultimate daily driver that can be taken directly to the racetrack

25:44 and then home again.

25:45 No modifications required.

25:46 So let me know what you think.
