The Turbo S and GT3 RS then, are at the very top of the 911 range for a reason. Each offers the greatest capabilities of the current 911 platform. But which one is faster around a track?

The GT3 RS, for instance, has plenty of carbon fiber bodywork to save weight, and has heaps of downforce thanks to that huge wing. It has a naturally aspirated 500-horsepower flat-six, driving the rear Turbo S, on the other hand, is a completely different beast. It's geared more towards luxury, equipped with a full interior and a much more tame exterior design.

The GT3 RS has 500 hp, it’s normally aspirated with rear wheel drive and weights around 1405 kg. Perhaps, most importantly, it has a wider front track than the Turbo S and is fitted with super sticky Sport Cup 2 tires. The Turbo S, on the other hand, has 60 more horsepower, significantly more torque, big turbos and 4-wheel drives. However, it weighs a few hundred pounds more and wears “normal” P-Zero tires. How do the two compare to each other on the track? That’s exactly what evo’s Jethor Bovingdon aims to find out in the video below? The results might surprise you.

Maximum Time Behind the Wheel We believe the best way to learn is by doing. We'll get you behind the wheel quickly. Personalized Driving Coach You'll receive instruction from our Porsche Drive Coach for the entire experience. In-depth Instruction Our world-class instructors will teach you the "why" of how the vehicle responds. Restrictions/Prerequisites Drivers must be 21 years or older to participate Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles THE PEC LA TRACK Mile Handling Circuit The Handling Circuit has been designed to mimic a challenging country road. Using the contours of the land we have created a flowing series of corners and undulations that offer very differing variables for both car and driver. You will learn the correct lines, braking points and how to safely extract the maximum enjoyment from your drive experience. THE PEC LA TRACK Low-Friction Handling Circuit The Low-Friction Handling Circuit consists of a polished concrete surface with tight curves that mimic slick road conditions. You’ll quickly develop a feel for the car’s balance and world class handling, while honing your own driving skills - specifically over-steer and under-steer. THE PEC LA TRACK Ice Hill The Ice Hill has a 7% slope and computer-controlled water jets creating a wetted epoxy, low-friction, surface that holds true to its name. This unique and challenging scenario tests even the most experienced of drivers. As you begin to appreciate the handling characteristics of the car, you’ll become addicted to the module. THE PEC LA TRACK Kick Plate The Kick Plate is a flush-mounted, hydraulic plate set flush to the road. Its surface is designed to induce loss of rear wheel traction, putting the car into a skid or spin. You will be taught the correct technique to ‘catch’ the slide and bring the car under control, (but maybe not the first time). THE PECLA TRACK Acceleration Straight The Acceleration Straight provides a safe and controlled environment to fully explore how a Porsche accelerates using launch control with an added twist. Near the end of the nearly ¾ mile straight, a replica of the Karussell, (Carousel), the famous banked curve on the Nordschleife, (North Loop) of the Nurburgring, awaits you for an enthralling g-force experience. THE PEC LA TRACK Low-Friction Circle The Low-Friction Circle consists of highly polished concrete on a wet surface that in turn creates an ideal environment to provoke, correct and hold oversteer at all speeds. The circle also enables you to build an understanding of car dynamics. THE PEC LA TRACK Off-Road Circuit The Off-Road Course is designed to show how the technical systems of the Porsche Cayenne and Macan work in off-road conditions. The 40-degree vertical descent, ravine bed and fallen timbers are only a few of the all-terrain obstacles packed in to test the ability of the car and yourself. By the end, you will be better equipped to tackle nearly every type of off-road terrain. THE PEC LA TRACK Dynamics Pad Test the speed, agility and lane-change performance on a large asphalt pad designed to simulate unique maneuvers you may encounter during your daily driving. Here, you can really test your personal driving and handling skills. Two or three? I've been asked it many times; not children, though that's a debate Mrs Fortune and I have been having for a long time. Instead it relates to Porsche's current GT cars. The strength of feeling out there to one or the other is like the People's Front of Judea's scorn for the Judean People's Front - only the splitter here's an aero by naturally-aspirated or turbocharged Stuttgart flat sixes, they hail from the same GT department and were developed in parallel, that much is obvious. GT road car boss Andreas Preuninger even admitted on the quiet that perhaps they should have launched the 3 before the 2, but circumstances prevented they share so much is unsurprising; what does shock, though, is the extent to which they differ. We'll avoid the debate on lap times, as that's a whole different sport, and instead concentrate on how they feel on the road. I've driven both, but until now the opportunity to sample them back-to-back has proved elusive. That all changes today, on the sensational Scottish roads up near Ullapool, on the North Coast 500 route. The bridge in the pics is Kylesku. The roads around there as brilliant as the scenery, and about as far removed as any track as it gets - even the one where these RSs perform so in the GT3 RS first. Having been around the Isle of Man in this exact car only a few weeks earlier, it feels very familiar. In the middle of the Irish Sea it mesmerised; its abilities catapulted far beyond the already sensational heights of the Gen I GT3 RS, a car I genuinely couldn't conceive Porsche making any better when it launched. It is though. The changes to the Gen II GT3 RS might have initially logged in the 'meh' category on first reading the specification, but the car is less a minor evolutionary leap than it is an entire change of that end the GT3 RS has a lot to thank its GT2 RS relation for. It rides on suspension that, barring a slight adjustment to the set-up to account for the differing performance delivery and weights, is all but identical. That's ball-jointed throughout, save for one connection that links the rear-wheel steering system. The spring rates are up, the dampers and roll bars significantly wound back. The effect, on both cars is incredible poise, without any significant compromise in ride both can cope with the vagaries of UK tarmac is testament to the GT department's decision to take such a route. The resulting wheel and body control is tremendous, allowing each to better exploit their NA or turbocharged take on the obsessively honed flat-six engine, slung out the back behind the same 325/30 ZR21 tyres. The dimensions are the same, too, save for the 3's slightly lengthier shape (although there's only 8mm in it).Visually they're riotous, as befits their performance goals, both wearing the aero addenda that defines their track-refugee status, with NACA ducted bonnets, huge intakes to cool, vents to depressurise and evacuate spent air, and rumps adorned with wings so vast they'd surely take flight if they were inverted. As similar as they are, it's the differences that really hit home, the GT2 RS's more upright, plough-like front more pugnacious, likewise the rear's lower diffuser, with the massive exhausts situated in contrasting black bodywork, the GT2 RS, shouting, in Preuninger's own words: "I'm the alpha animal."That's as may be, but with the 2 RS ultimate downforce wasn't such a key development focus; Preuninger admitting that he wanted less drag to enable its ridiculous pace deep into three figures on the Autobahn. That's a subtly different proposition to the GT3 RS; its aero has always been all about downforce, albeit while still trying to minimise drag, which is the enemy to its racing less overt, relatively speaking, the exhausts inboard, situated among painted rather than contrasting bodywork, lacking the forceful visual pugilism that the 2 RS brings, and denied in UK form its most outrageous look (the Weissach pack being unavailable to British buyers). Either way, they both look incredible - unless you're in the Touring camp, of course. The chances are you know the figures, but in case you need reminding the GT3 RS produces 520hp from its naturally-aspirated flat-six. The GT2 RS loses 200cc of capacity for a flat-six, but adds a pair of variable vane turbochargers with a water-injection induction system, allowing it an almighty 700hp. And the performance? Take these as typically Porsche conservative; the 2 RS reaching 62mph in seconds, the 3 RS trailing it by seconds. The 3 trailing is true everywhere, 99mph arriving in seconds and 124mph in seconds as it runs to its 211mph maximum. In Germany, only, of course. The 3, meanwhile, takes seconds to reach 99mph, and after that we're left guessing, though it will reach 193mph. Plenty quick, particularly when the limit around here is the GT3 RS is absorbing enough even at legal speeds to deny me the pleasure of the sensational views. No, the richness here is in the drive, the detail, and the way the GT3 RS is able to engage and delight on the roads that meander like rivers around the topography, every turn and twist communicated with such clarity, dealt with with such precision as to wonder why you'd ever want anything chassis might have been the key in defining the evolutionary leap with this GT3 RS over the Gen I car, but the engine changes are no mere support act. To experience the 9,000rpm redline, and specifically the enthusiasm with which the engine responds all the way to it, should be on every PHer's bucket list. Add a transmission that's so fast as to feel like it's hard-wired to your synapses and the combination of the three, in conjunction with the incredible brakes, creates about as absorbing and immersive a driving experience as you could ever wish GT3 RS's talent seam is so deep, yet even when you're just scratching at the surface it engages, every input rewarded with immediate response, underpinned with detailed control to the end benefit of speed. The GT2 RS, as with its looks, is more overt in its delivery. That's hardly surprising given the more forceful nature of its engine, the way it hauls from low revs has to be experienced to be believed. That it still loves revs, thrives on them even, is wonderful, the 2 RS's powerplant representing a revolution in turbocharged engines which takes all of the advantages forced induction brings, yet leaves any compromises on a shelf marked 'history' back in difficult not to be seduced by the GT2 RS's massive urge, yet the old adage that power corrupts just isn't applicable. The chassis is more than a measure for the incredible forces that the engine creates. That we've reached a point where an arse-engined, RWD, 700hp turbocharged Porsche can genuinely be described as exploitable underlines just how far we've come. Less widowmaker these days, then, and more mistress - you'd spend less and less time at home if you had one of these...Here, on these roads, its ability to shorten journey times is other-worldly, arriving at the next corner seemingly before you've exited the last one. It's that fast, for which you can read, that capable. There's the same incredible poise, the chassis acting as an enabler to the phenomenal engine; ably assisted by the brakes' unerring stopping power and the PDK transmission's ability to fire up and down its seven ratios with is surprising over the same roads is how different they feel. Yes, the anticipation is of nuances, but had you described this experience I'd have dismissed it. The GT2 RS feels bigger, physically, a manifestation of its greater performance potential, even if the reality is that they occupy the same amount of tarmac. It's not a blunt tool by any measure, but the rear axle's dominance is apparent, the steering marginally less eager to turn in than on the GT3 the GT2 RS delivers more of its performance earlier, the GT3 RS needs teasing to produce its best. There's a greater input to reward ratio with the 3, simply because you have to work it that little bit harder to deliver. That the reward is a 9,000rpm redline is enticing enough, the sound emanating from it as it reaches those heights being of the goosebump-inducing variety. The GT2 RS's mightier, deeper notes are sensational, but lack the finer delicacy of the 3's are incredible, intoxicating cars, and for me to say one is better than the other is nigh on impossible, if not arguably moot given many buyers will simply have both. But I'll stick my head out there, disagreeing with the man responsible for building them himself, and say if I had to pick one it would be the GT3 RS. To many, that'll be wrong, to others right. I don't really care, as both factions have enormous merit. What is indisputable, however, is that both camps having such outrageously talented, exploitable and engaging offerings available to them is surely no bad thing.
