The GT3 RS is Porsche’s most track-focused love letter to pure aspiration on the market, with this model anticipated to pack a 4.0-liter flat-six engine good for about 493 horsepower that is carried over from the 992-gen 911 GT3 Cup and 911 GT3, in keeping with earlier statements launched by Porsche. Porsche says most of its upgrades to the GT3 RS are in chassis and aerodynamic upgrades, and they weren’t joking.
The brand new 911 GT3 RS packs essentially the most intense aero we have seen so far, with huge air vents within the hood, an enormous rear diffuser, big air scoops within the rear wheel arches, and entrance fender vents designed to maintain the automotive’s nostril planted at pace. Winglets subsequent to the entrance and rear wheels assist clean out airflow down the facet of the automotive, and fins alongside the roofline assist it direct air precisely the place it must be for the automotive’s true get together piece: its lively rear wing.
We have already seen the large rear wing in motion testing on the Nordschleife, however these leaked photographs verify that DRS-like lively aero is coming to the brand new GT3 RS for the primary time. A flap within the big swan-neck wing closes off beneath braking to shut off a number of the airflow like an air brake after which opens again up beneath acceleration to let extra air by way of.
In response to licunyi_starandcar, who posted the leaked photographs on Instagram, the automotive can even include carbon fiber door skins and provide an much more hardcore Weissach package deal with magnesium wheels.
The inside is nothing to brush off, both, with the steering wheel now sporting 4 rotary dials for drive mode settings whereas the 992-gen GT3 simply packs one. As with the earlier one, we anticipate this to be PDK-only, and you’ll spot the paddles proper behind the wheel of this one as effectively.
We’ll replace this submit with extra after the automotive’s debut, which you’ll be able to watch right here on YouTube.
