This is it, this is the ultra high performance slap-in-the-face Porsche 911 GT3 RS, think of it as a rock and roll cover version of the classical 911 GT3 with the RS moniker signifying the capital letter R and capital letter S.

In truth the 911 GT3 RS is imbued with a track focus ethos and yet has the ability to be used every day, that wide-body may be familiar to you its same bodyshell used for the 911 Turbo.

The 911 GT3 RS relies on a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, this symbiotic relationship produces 500bhp and 460Nm of torque all of which is consumed by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Should you happen to chance upon a race track then don’t worry the RS has a pit lane limiter button just to make it feel more race-like.

The 911 GT3 RS will accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds. Porsche has gone the extra mile to shed weight. The roof panel is made of magnesium; carbon fiber is used for the engine and luggage compartment lids, the RS model is 10 kg lighter than the 911 GT3.

Porsche has worked on aerodynamics, the most obvious being that mahoosive rear wing, a front spoiler and front wheel arch vents an idea borrowed from Porshce’s motor racing experience, are designed to ducts channel air onto the front axle to increase downforce.

Fully variable rear limited-slip differential, rear-axle steering and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus means Porsche has ensured the 911 GT3 RS elevates the ride, handling and agility to another level. Damn it we sounded like a corporate press release with that last sentence.

Inside is bedecked with Alcantara trim, carbon-fiber bucket seats based on the 918 Spyder and a roll cage is fitted as standard meaning this is a serious car that will end up being driven by rich kids from Instagram.

Other options are available but in truth, they are designed to swipe money from and don’t add much to the GT3 RS party because you have the best stuff fitted as standard.

The 911 GT3 RS is available to order now in the UK at £131,296, the US will be able to get their hands on one around July.
