It's finally here. Porsche has revealed the 992-generation 911 GT3 RS in full, complete with motorsport-inspired aero, 517bhp and a £178,500 price tag -
Despite the extensive use of carbon, there’s so much new hardware on the RS that its kerb weight is actually slightly up on the standard GT3, weighing in at 1450kg, 15kg more than an equivalent GT3 fitted with a PDK gearbox . To compensate Porsche has found an additional 14bhp for its 4-litre flat-six, which now produces 517bhp, derived largely from a new cam profile, a new single-throttle intake system and rigid valve drive borrowed from Porsche’s race cars.
Porsche has also fitted various aero devices around both front and rear wheel arches. As with the 991, the front arches are ventilated at the top to relieve air pressure, but this is now aided by huge outlets inspired by those used on the 911 GT1 Le Mans racer of the late Nineties.
Free of hardware ahead of the front wheels, the 29mm-wider front axle is in more direct contact with the airflow, so Porsche has designed the front wishbone arms with a tear-drop profile, producing around 40kg of downforce at maximum speed.
