Nice testimony. I think this can be said of all variants. You have to 'drive a different car or more each week for 52 weeks' to fully appreciate the 'R' but when you do.....!
For the rest of us, the plain vanilla GT/S/C has the same effect!

If you read a GTC review, it will say the GTC is better . Just pick one

The GTC will be a better daily driver. The GTR is better if you plan on tracking the car. The GTR has no pano roof option. Didn’t want it on my GTS but the car is dark and claustrophobic without it.

The interiors are identical, the exteriors are very similar. But, if you want the best, get the GTR and fully load it

Still have conflicting reports on how stiff the GTR rides in comfort mode around town.
Some early reviews from Europe state that it rides more comfortable than the GTS.
But at least one owner here said GTR even in comfort mode is stiffer than GTS in Sport+.
​​​​​​​I hope to hear more comments on ride comfort from members here who recently picked up their GTR .
​​​​​​​
I cannot tell from driving the GTR on the track a couple weeks ago, since the surface is very smooth, plus it is not set @ comfort mode when I drove it on the track.

You take it to the track?
i guess you are happy with your choice?
would you go for the GTC if you had the chance again?
GTC speced as a softer GTR is why i ordered one but all these reviews of the R make my question my choice of a C
(will be 95% used on road)

I don't really track my cars given the potential perils that come with it...granted I’m probably missing out on taking it to the limit but I can leave with that....I went right to that top of the food chain on this one as I knew it wouldn’t be a daily driver thus the R made sense to me. I also liked the exhaust set up, sound, and overall look better than the other variants. That said if I was to have it as daily driver then the GTC would have been my choice. You will surely enjoy the GTC a lot! Good luck.

The white is understated. The Jupiter red color in the article is fantastic!!

Im not a red car guy, but that one looks incredible . What is your favorite color for the GTR?
