To all you track junkies out there, if you’re too rich and don’t know what to do with your money, get this, the Porsche GT3 Cup S racing car, not only because you can but because you can use it in FIA GT3 events as well. Just please don't leave it parked next to your 2007 GT3 Cup, might as well let someone else have it and actually use it.

The car essentially mates the more powerful version of the 3.6 liter engine used in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup with the Carrera Cup series cars thanks largely to the exhaust and engine management systems.

The GT3 Cup S produces a respectful 440 horses and 430 lb-ft of torque at god knows how many thousand revs. If you’re wondering why it doesn’t quite look like a GT3, that is because it is based on the GT2-class GT3 RSR instead of the more production looking Supercup/Carrera Cup.

The GT3 Cup S also features upgraded suspension components and bigger brakes. I’m sure you already know racing does not come cheap, so I expect that you keep yourself composed when you find out that the cost of entry is Euros 250,000. I couldn't stop swearing because I'm a fan of motor racing but can't afford it for obvious reasons, so I'm sure you did better.

Owners of 2007 GT3 Cup cars can have their cars upgraded to Cup S specs for a price as well.
