Forza Horizon 4: Drive without explanations

If you happen to pick up your 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS from the Forzathon prize shop before the timer runs out, then congratulations. You get to keep the most hardcore 911 ever made to satisfy your craving for driving just for the fun of it.



I have to say that the 911 GT3 RS is a car that deserves to be driven without explanations like when you want to pull a joke with no explanations unless someone wants to explain about it but if you're like the next guy who wants to explain your silly little joke by now, then time for a refresher; the 991.2-spec Porsche 911 GT3 RS features a much improved racing chassis and lightweight construction, drawing inspiration from its ultimate variant, the GT2 RS. The Weissach package features carbon fibre body and interior parts, magnesium wheels, and a stiffer suspension setting. The naturally-aspirated 4.0L boxer-6 engine has been upgraded to produce 20HP more than the previous model so now it delivers 520HP of power and while mated to an improved 7-speed PDK, it delivers an improved top speed of 312kph. It went round the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6:56.4.



How's that for explanation? Anyway, although the 911 GT3 RS is a proven track toy in its own right, what would happen when I take Porsche's track toy on the winter wonderland? It sounds like a challenge and being a rear-engined, rear-wheel drive car, I may find it to be difficult to survive through icy conditions and while facing against beefed-up exotics in the snow, well, let's find out as we roll the clip without explanations.





Man, facing exotics in the snow really is fierce especially when I'm driving a hardcore sportscar like the 911 GT3 RS but it barely managed to survive the snow and win anyway. Still, I have to say that the 911 GT3 RS is all about being as thrilling as a supercar and while this is still essentially a sportscar that brimming with testosterone and muscle, it never fails to impress drivers by delivering a much thrilling driving experience with no explanations. Need to explain more? No? Good, so have fun with your new Porsche!
