FIRST DRIVE Overhaul has made track-focused two-seater even more thrilling
WHEN it comes to hardcore, track focused sports cars with genuine motor sport pedigree, Porsche pretty much wrote the manual. In the 15 years since the first 911 GT3 RS, the brand has created a succession of faster and fiercer models. The latest of them is this: the second-generation 991 GT3 RS.
Slammed low to the tarmac and wearing a spectacular array of wings, spoilers, air intakes and vents, it looks every inch the racer. Although obviously an evolution of the car launched in 2015, this new model appears even more aggressive. It’s more effective, too, with increased down force to aid high-speed stability, but less drag to preserve the Porsche’s 193mph top speed.
Tucked in the RS’s tail is the same 4.0-litre flat-six found in the regular 911 GT3. Not that there’s anything run of the mill about this remarkable engine, which revs to 9,000 rpm and develops 513bhp without the aid of a turbo.
