This could be our
first look at the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 RS of the 992 generation. The
outgoing 991.2 GT3 RS is truly a wild thing, but it looks like its successor
will push the envelope even further. These are likely the first photos of the
next generation 911 GT3 RS, which looks meaner than ever in test prototype
form.
We’ll start by addressing the elephant in
the room, namely the gigantic fixed rear wing which looks like it was stolen
from a Porsche race car. It also looks raw and industrial as it’s obviously not
the finished item.
We can also spot huge
intakes and outlets in the front hood, a sharp splitter attached to the more
aggressive front bumper, front fender vents, as well as a massive rear diffuser
that’s almost as wide as the rear bumper. Combined with wide body kit, the aero
package makes the 911 GT3 RS look like a street-legal race car. That’s basically
what it is, as GT3 RS models have always had a very close connection to 911 GT3
racers.
Expect the road-going model to feature a
naturally aspirated flat-six engine delivering somewhere between 530 and 580
horsepower. Just like the current 911 GT3 RS, the new model will be exclusively
offered with a PDK dual-clutch transmission. Expect Porsche to release the GT3
RS after the ‘regular’ 992 GT3 and GT3 Touring models, which likely means in
sometime in 2021. As a result, the new 911 GT3 RS will probably launch for the
2022 model year in North America.
