All new 2023 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS it’s finally here, and it’s just about the most fascinating and dirty weapon the people in Stuttgart have come up with to date. Let’s take a look at what Porsche says he can do.
GT3 RS steering system
Don’t worry folks – this RS will retain its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter engine. In this app, it will have 518 horsepower. While that may not sound like a ton, remember that Porsche horsepower is unlike almost anything else. Besides, the RS has always been more of an aero and suspension car, anyway. She also has one 16 horsepower crash on “Normal” GT3.. Porsche says this is achieved by new camshafts and cam profiles. It has six individual throttle bodies – one per cylinder.
It’s seven-The PDK gearbox has shorter overall ratios than the GT3. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no manual option. All this will catapult RS from 0 to 60 in just three seconds. That’s 0.2 seconds faster than the GT3. She too there are a top speed of 184 mph. Not too weak.

Basics all year round
Uniqlo Summer Sale
The basics you don’t want to miss
Uniqlo’s summer sale is not to be missed. This whole sale is hell-bent on having the basics that Uniqlo is known for: subtle colors, classic silhouettes, and a dress-up-or-down vibe.
On top of all that, the rear differential can be adjusted with knobs on the steering wheel. Porsche says it borrowed concepts of performance and performance from motorsport.
Frunked Frunk and Crazy Aero of the GT3 RS
Okay, I know this sounds a little boring, but stay with me. The RS has a central radiator. It’s something Porsche used first in the Le Mans class-winning 911 RSR and then in the GT3 R.
Basically, instead of using a three-radiator layout seen on previous cars, the new RS has a large, angled central radiator in the nose of the car. A byproduct of this is that the frunk is a little … well … frunked.
That said, the vacated space on either side of the radiator is now used for active air elements. A combination of all aerodynamic measures throughout the car means the RS produces more than 900 pounds of downforce at around 124 mph. This is double the number of 991.2 GT3 RS. It’s also three times more than the current GT3. When speeds get really high – 177 mph – the car generates 1,895 pounds of downforce.
The RS is also equipped with a drag reduction system (DRS) similar to what you’ll see in Formula 1. Porsche says it’s the first time the system has been installed in one of its production cars. To achieve low drag at higher track speeds, DRS will allow the wing to flatten at the push of a button. But when you slam on the brakes, the big arm resting on the swan neck and other elements throughout the car will stay upright and act as an air brake.
This double wing is so large that it is actually higher than the roof of the car. At the front, the RS has wheel arch ventilation via louvers in the front quarter panel. The company says the intakes behind the front wheels are inspired by the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1. They reduce the pressure on the wheel arch.
Four individual rotary controls and a button for DRS are located on the steering wheel. Controls are displayed graphically in the instrument cluster.
Suspension under the GT3 RS
Due to the extreme aerodynamics of the vehicle, the suspension was also modified to match the message. The front double wishbone suspension components are designed with a teardrop profile. They increase downforce at the front axle by 88 pounds.
The front track has increased by 1.14 inches – it requires longer front axle links with two mushroom bones. Engineers have also reduced pitching during braking.
There are three driving modes: Normal, Sport and Track. According to Porsche, in track mode, the basic settings can be adjusted individually. The rebound and compression damping of both axles can be adjusted separately in several stages.
A more extreme GT3 RS
If the normal RS wasn’t enough for you, there’s another level of madness: the Weissach package. If you check that box, the hood, roof, rear wing sections and the upper part of the side mirror cover will all have visible carbon fiber.
The front and rear anti-roll bars, rear tie rods and the trim panel on the rear axle will be made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
You’ll also get “motorsports-derived magnetic technology” in the PDK paddle shifters. The company says this makes gearchanges feel more precise thanks to a pressure point and a clicking sound. Last but not least, forged magnesium wheels are included in the package. They save 17.6 kilograms of curb weight when compared to standard wheels.
God only knows what kind of signs these things will have when they hit the dealers. Meanwhile, we can report that the starting price is $225,250 (including destination).
Sleep in GT3 RS glory.
