God's chariot compliments of the Germans.
Did anyone notice that guy was holding back? Those were pretty tamed drifts, imo. If the car was stolen then it would have been a different story.

seems like he's FORCING a drift by flooring it... not that impressive (especially for those that have seen the Drift Bible)

well i think its the car thats holding him back from drifting insanely
this car simply has too much grip and traction
its engine sounds so much like an F1 ferrari
but not as loud of course

Some of those corners are way too tight for the guy to do any high speed drifts.....the combination of the low speed and the grip is making it snap really awkwardly, like he's really forcing it instead of letting momentum carry it through.
And heck, it'd take a LOT of balls to go all-out and get some serious drift angle/momentum in a car of this calibre....

well that's pretty much a given with the CGT... if you're driving it on its limits it's gonna bite your head off on a tiny little mistake.

I love people that watch couple of videos on internet and think they know everything about drifting.
First of all, drift cars, are set up exactly for that, drifting.
Porsche GT is designed for completely different thing, grip.
Who cares about drifting anyway?? It's a useless way to get around the corners.
P.S. Great video, the sound of CGT is just amazing.
P.P.S. What freaks me out, is that people would rather spend their money on more expensive, but slower, uglier, less exclusive SLR.

OIC, that explains why I can't drift, my car isn't 600k.
Speaking of SLR, saw a silver one on 4th street in Vancouver 3 days ago, I think it was turning into QLT. This car blends in with the crowd, I'm not impressed.

Some of the best professional drivers in the world find the CGT to be a handful and have had their hands full driving it to its max.
A mere automotive journalist, who incidentally would be paying for the rest of his life if he made a mistake LOL, can certainly do no better.
Still he got to thrash it around and that's more than most of us can ever say about our relationship with this mythical beastie.

For those who have driven the 911 series of rear engined Porsches, you know that the rear engine design makes the car really easy to initiate a rear wheel slide while braking into the corners. A bit of drop throttle or blip the brake (the brake one is really hard to do though) and the tail comes around. Then, just mash the gas at the right time and you can slide around a corner.
Of course, this is a lot easier said than done. And that driver sure has a lot of balls to slide that car around a tight road. May be it's easier in a car like the GT than the older 911s. But that's one question I won't ever find out for myself.

it sticks to the road so damn well that u wont think its a rear engine mount, it gets thru the corners really really well
