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.
