Some individuals view the Porsche 911 series as the quintessential sports car family. Among them, there is an even more centralized core group that perceives the GT3 as the pinnacle achievement of this legendary line, race-bred with countless victories in the world’s greatest endurance challenges. The Porsche name is among the top in the world of performance automobiles, and that stature reflects on their production cars heavily. The performance of the GT3 is hands-down one of the best of its time.
In the great tradition of Porsche’s Carrera RS 2.8, the GT3 RS is essentially a street-legal, raw track-ready improvement over its already impressive GT3 brother. The GT2 equipped with four-wheel-drive, achieved sub-four second, 0- to 62-mph times by way of turbocharging. The GT3 RS is a much more intelligent, naturally aspirated Porsche experience. With 415-hp on tap, an 8,400-rpm redline, close-ratio six-speed gearbox and stunning wider rear bodywork for greater stability and cornering grip, it is among the conscientious driver’s first choices. The horizontally-opposed six-cylinder, 3.6-liter engine is built with the racetrack in mind. It is lighter than a standard GT3 and with special carbon fiber bucket seats, six-point harness and a rollcage. This particular vehicle has power steering four-wheel power disc brakes, power windows and air conditioning.
The GT3 RS is presented in black with gray graphics and trim. It has been driven in a sympathetic manner and is reported as accident-free and has never been to the racetrack, as evidenced by having no over-revving on its computer log. It has recently been fitted with new tires and has no immediate needs to be fully enjoyed by its new owner.
Porsche says: “RS for ‘Rennsport’ – ‘Motorsport’ in German – is one of the most evocative designations in the history of Porsche”. Just like every racing Porsche, the suspension is fully adjustable. Some of these adjustments include ride height, camber, toe angle and front/rear anti-rollbars. In addition, the RS model has split rear wishbones, enabling greater accuracy when setting the rear camber. Also, the wheelbase has been extended to achieve greater stability and performance. This vehicle is truly a street legal racing machine. This is an uncommon and incredibly fast Porsche – the GT3 RS will not be a disappointment.
