This, my friends, is the latest and greatest 992 Porsche GT3 RS. It's not just inspired by motorsport; it's a full-blown race car that's been tamed just enough for those brave souls who want to experience it on both road and track. Well, relatively speaking, of course. And, as fate would have it, this automotive marvel arrives exactly 50 years after the iconic 2.7 RS kicked off the 911 RS legacy. Talk about serendipity.

The Lamborghini Huracan STO though, isn’t one of those.

You see, the problem with the 911 is there's a variety to choose from; on top of that, you have to choose whether you want it in coupe or cabriolet form. Then you need to pick, do you want it in four-wheel drive or rear wheel drive. Lastly you need to select the equipment list you want: Should I get the Sport Chrono pack? What rims do I want? How do I specify the interior?

To be frank, the 991’s a fine car in every sense of the word. Besides, having driven most of the models in the range, I have to say my personal favourite has to be the GTS; it felt right despite the handling that needed some getting used to. In my books, nothing else has come close.

The GT4 Clubsport is blessed with many of the same traits that make its street-going sibling a riot to drive, such as bodywork that helps to produce genuine downforce on both axles, a lower, wider track and a mid-mounted 3.8 liter flat six engine that produces 385hp. However alterations have been made to beef up the base car, such as front suspension that has been lifted wholesale from a GT3 cup car while the rear has a revised strut design with GT3 cup car control arms. The 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brake calipers are also a one piece design now for added strength.
