The Porsche 911 GT3 can still call itself the king of the 911 kingdom, but when Porsche introduces the 911 GT3 RS, it will be over for the dominance of the GT3. The new 911 GT3 RS is already warming up on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
‘The king is dead, long live the king!’ That cry will apply when Porsche will soon present the GT3 RS. That won’t be the last time you can let those words pass your lips when it comes to the 911. Porsche probably also has a 911 GT2 RS in the pipeline, but first it’s the turn of the 911 GT3 if Rennsport wine.
The 911 GT3, with its naturally aspirated and thus turbo-less 4.0 six-cylinder boxer engine, is certainly not childish with its naturally aspirated and therefore turbo-less 4.0 six-cylinder boxer engine. That high-revving machine stamps out 510 hp and 470 Nm in the 911 GT3, power that can also be guided in the right direction not only with a PDK automatic transmission, but also with a manual transmission. As a superlative of the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS naturally gets a little more power. Count on the 4.0 six-cylinder engine in the GT3 RS generating about 530 hp and 480 Nm.

But there’s more. The 911 GT3 RS is naturally better than just a more powerful 911 GT3. Porsche gives the new 911 GT3 RS even more intense spoiler work, complete with an immense rear wing. In addition, the RS version may lose a few kilos compared to the already known 911 GT3 thanks to the arrival of thinner windows. Count on tons of carbon fibre, a finely ground chassis and of course a heftier price tag than that of the ‘regular’ 911 GT3. Porsche will probably present the 911 GT3 RS in production trim next year. You do not have to expect a more modest variant with Touring package and you can also write a manual transmission on your stomach.
