WORLD LEADERS IN PARTS DIRECT























You might imagine that the life of a motoring journalist is one of fast cars, travel and being wined and dined by manufacturers eager to please and promote the latest hot new thing, whatever it might be. And, of course, you’d be right. There is a lot of that, and it’s all very nice, thank you very much, and never taken for granted. However, most of us are in this job because, first and foremost, we are car nuts – and the privilege of position gives us access to the people and engineers behind the cars that we drive. In the case of Porsche, that means people like Andreas Preuninger, the man in charge of GT and race cars at Porsche. Now, if sheer performance is your thing, then that is the job to have.

It’s Preuninger and his team who are responsible for the new GT3 RS that stars on the front cover – and I urge you to read Mark Hales’ technical analysis, plus road and track impressions of the new car. The feature isn’t all about what we think, however, as Preuninger, faced with the right questions, and quite often of his own volition, reveals just how much effort has gone into creating the new car. It’s fascinating stuff, with attention to detail that borders on obsessive  (from both Preuninger and Hales), and you won’t find it anywhere else. 

By Preuninger’s own admission, he doubted that there was much more to be extracted from the 911 platform, given its 40-plus-year evolution, but technology marches on and things that weren’t possible when developing the first gen 997 GT3 RS have become a reality. Active engine mounts are my favourite at the moment. I just love the fact that the fine tuning of the 911 has arrived at the point where the mass of the engine and controlling its movement has entered the handling agenda. And, having just replaced the engine mounts on my 944, I’m wondering when these are going to become a retro-fit item. Like I say, there are many perks to this job, but ultimately, underneath it all, we – and guys like Preuninger, just love cars.
