The Contenders

The Porsche Carrera GT is one of the most special Porsche ever created. It is a very valuable young classic, and will soon be even more special with the coming of the new version. It is practically a runaway car racing to the streets with a pointed engine atmospheric V10 5.7 liters and 612 horsepower, according to Carscoops.

The Porsche 911 R is the king of Porsche nowadays and is being sought out by car enthusiasts. Only 991 units have been manufactured and sold at a price of just over $600,000. The problem is that these very exclusive Porsche have been victims of who have purchased with the sole purpose of making easy money: considering that many are advertised by four to five times its original value. But one should not have such a beast caged because it is a machine made to run free on the road.

The 911 R is a successor of the Porsche 918 Spyder - the gas-electric Porsche that still holds the Nurburgring production car record, despite Koenigsegg, Mclaren and perhaps Pagani and is the reason for its popularity. It is a lightweight car, whose aspirated engine - with flywheel lightened and spike-heeled machine - four liters is associated with a manual gearbox, which only moves the rear. It is so fast and refined that it is even 0.1 seconds faster than the Porsche Carrera GT in the 0 to 100 km/h.

SuperCar Driver Youtube has compared both cars from the point of view of a driving enthusiast, with the help of Carl Hartley and a lucky owner of a 911R, according to Motorward.

The owner of a Porsche Carrera GT talk about how complicated driving it could be, the difficulty of a clutch and how nervous he can handling its power but once one can get the feel, the Carrera is a perfect car. However, as superb as the 911 R is in driving it and with its 500 hp engine, the Carrera is a living history and may be the greatest Porsche of all time.
