Even more extreme: the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2023 and active aerodynamics.

The GT3 version with an atmospheric engine appeared in the Porsche 911 992 series range a year and a half ago.

And now, strictly in accordance with the established release schedule of modifications «nine hundred and eleven», the time has come even more extreme model Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

The prefix is derived from the German word «Rennsportwagen», «racing car», and this coupe is really tuned for the track. It is still allowed on public roads, though.

The 4.0-liter, six-cylinder, dry-sump opposition engine has become even more powerful.

New camshafts with a revised cam profile and other fine-tuning helped squeeze out 525 hp versus 510 hp from the original GT3 version.

Although the torque is slightly less (465 Nm instead of 470 Nm).

Seven-speed «robot» PDK with two clutches has a shortened range of ratios.

Thus, a manual gearbox for «Ereska» is not offered. But this is not the key difference from the GT3 version.

The main improvements have touched the chassis, cooling system and aerodynamics.

Modeled on the racing Porsche 911 GT3 R, the new coupe has acquired a cooling system with a large radiator (instead of the former three).

It is located in the front compartment, which is usually given under the trunk, and two large ducts are made in the lid for heat dissipation.

The free space on the sides is used for additional ducts, which let the air flow into the wheel arches, and it is output through the «gills» in the upper part of the fenders.

The coupe bristled with a lot of additional aerodynamic elements: even on the roof there are small vertical stabilizers.

The rear wingtip has become noticeably larger and now has two working surfaces. The lower one is fixed, and the upper has a hydraulic drive to change the angle of attack.

And in «vertical» position the edge of this blade rises above the roof of the car!

DRS (Drag Reduction System) appeared on the production Porsche for the first time.

By pressing a button on the steering wheel, the driver switches the moving aerodynamic elements to the minimum air resistance — for example, for the most efficient shot in a straight line.

During braking, the electronics itself switches the hull to the mode of maximum resistance.

At 200 km/h maximum downforce is the equivalent of 409 kg, which is three times more than that of the basic version GT3.

And at 285 km/h this figure reaches 860 kg. All this should make the car more efficient and docile on the track.

The most important difference between the GT3 RS version in terms of the chassis — adjustable from the cabin rigidity shock absorbers: you can separately change the parameters of compression and rebound.

The front track became 29 mm wider, revised geometry and stiffness of arms and stabilizers.

Basic brakes retained 408 mm front and 380 mm rear steel discs, but the front axle has larger pistons (there are six on each wheel) and thicker discs.

You have to pay extra for carbon-ceramic brakes with discs with a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear.

Cover the front compartment, doors, front fenders, roof panel and seats are made of carbon fiber, but even with this set coupe Porsche 911 GT3 RS was 15 kg heavier than the original GT3 version with «robot»: 1450 kg curb weight.

Acceleration time to «hundred» was reduced from 3.4 to 3.2 seconds, and to 200 km/h — from 10.8 to 10.6 seconds. But the changed aerodynamics reduced the maximum speed from 318 to 296 km/h.

If the original Porsche 911 GT3 coupe now costs from 179 thousand euros, the GT3 RS costs at least 230 thousand euros.

You can order the Clubsport package for free, which includes a steel arc safety in the cabin, hand-held fire extinguisher and six-point driver’s seat belt.

But for the Weissach package with an expanded set of carbon fiber parts (stabilizers transverse stability, arc and other elements) will have to pay extra.
