The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a high-downforce track monster.
The fender vents above the front wheels that have been a mainstay since the 991.1 GT3 RS make a return appearance here, helping vent pressure in the wheel wells. In a first for a 911, there's no front trunk. That space has been taken up by a large radiator that vents through huge openings on the hood. Ditching the 911 GT3's triple radiator setup allowed Porsche to add active front wing elements, to help balance out what's happening at the rear.
The engine breathes in part through intakes ahead of the rear wheels that look like those from the current 911 Turbo. It's the familiar"GT3" unit, a 9000-rpm 4.0-liter flat-six that first appeared in the 991.2 GT3, and since the 991 Speedster has benefitted from individual throttle bodies. Output is 518 hp, up 16 hp from the GT3 thanks to new camshafts with longer duration.
Also adapted from the GT3 is a new double-wishbone front suspension setup inspired by the modern 911 GT3 R that provides astounding front-end grip and increased steering precision. Interestingly, the upper wishbones are designed to help increase downforce to the tune of 88 pounds, says Porsche.
