2017 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
After seeing Porsche testing
the 991/2 GT3, we knew it was only a matter of time before its
wilder 911 GT3 RS sibling would come out to play with the brand’s developers.
The headline news about the
updated RS will be the use of a larger displacement, 4.2-liter
naturally-aspirated flat six, which will add around 25 hp over the current
model’s 500 PS 4.0L boxer for a total of 525 PS.
As with the plain GT3,
there’s a very strong likelihood of Porsche adding a manual gearbox option in
the facelift model, after discarding it on the 991 GT3 RS that comes
exclusively with a dual clutch transmission.
This isn’t the final product, as evidenced by the pre-facelift 911
door handles and tail lamps, but the tester is fitted with a cleaner looking
front bumper featuring enlarged air ducts and slimmer LED indicators, and a
prototype rear bumper on which the exhaust tips have been relocated from the
center to the corners.
Either way, when it comes
out next year, like the 991.2 GT3, the RS will have subtly refreshed front and
rear ends, together with some minor revisions inside, including a new steering
wheel and updated infotainment system with improved connectivity and a touchscreen
display.
