THE PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS
Since the introduction of the original 901 in 1963, Porsche's six-cylinder rear-engine sports cars were renowned for their ability to punch well above their weight in competition. The factory's racing department at Weissach continually, relentlessly developed the car for competition, which spawned a long line of storied homologation specials.
Starting with the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, 'RS' variants of the 911 have become coveted for their track readiness, precision, and power. With that original RS, the mold was cast – a potent engine, a stripped-down interior, large side sill graphics, and, importantly, unparalleled performance. Throughout the succeeding generations of 911s, the 'RS' badge remained reserved for only the most hardcore, purpose-built road cars in Porsche's portfolio and each generation has become highly coveted by Porsche collectors and drivers. The GT3 series seemed to have picked up where the original RS left off, but Porsche, always with an ace up its sleeve, reserved the 'RS' name for their special, razor-honed versions of the GT3.
The 991-generation of the GT3 RS fits this role well. With its giant rear wing, large intakes, graphics, and a wide track, the GT3 RS certainly looks the part. The naturally aspirated 6-cylinder GT3 RS sprints to 60 in 3 seconds flat – impressive, but this car is all about eking every last 10th out of your lap times. Along with its heavily revised and adjustable chassis it features trick technology like an electronically locking rear differential and rear wheel steering to transform the GT3 RS into a formidable track weapon, lapping the Nürburgring in 6:56.4 - faster than even the 918 hypercar. Despite its track prowess, the GT3 RS is ultimately road car, offering thrilling performance off the track with the flexibility for daily duty.
Porsche's GT3 RS continues to set the standard for roadworthy cars with uncompromising on-track performance. Through blending analog adjustments with cutting edge technology and purposeful, lightweight sensibilities with modern comfort and drivability, the GT3 RS provides a unique driving experience in many situations.
