The Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes with a new swan-neck rear wing and DRS. The engine on duty is a 4.0-litre, naturally aspirated engine.
Porsche has unveiled the latest 911 GT3 RS generation for the global market. It is based on the most recent 992 generations, and the manufacturer has made numerous mechanical improvements. Cosmetic upgrades are also performed to improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics. This was done to allow for faster speeds and lower drag on race tracks.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS has a 4.0-liter engine and a red line of 9,000 rpm. The engine has a maximum power output of 525 hp and a peak torque output of 465 Nm. It is paired with a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. Because there is no manual transmission available, enthusiasts may be disappointed. However, the PDK is faster in terms of response time and shift time. Furthermore, when compared to the 911 GT3, Porsche has shortened the gear ratios.
Porsche claims that the 911 GT3 RS can reach a tonne in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 296 kilometres per hour. It would not be surprising if the 911 GT3 RS reached 100 kph in under 3 seconds. When it comes to acceleration times, Porsche is known for underpromising and overdelivering. Normal, Sport, and Track are the available driving modes.
Porsche has made a lot of aerodynamic improvements which include a new rear wing. It is the first Porsche vehicle to come with a rear wing that is higher than the car’s roof. The 911 GT3 RS is also the first production vehicle of Porsche to be fitted with a DRS or drag reduction system. The huge rear wing also acts as an air brake.
What is interesting is the new adjustable suspension. There are rotary knobs on the steering wheel through which the driver can adjust rebound and compression settings. Even the rear differential can be adjusted through the knobs.
