The Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS, introduced in 2007, is a track-focused, street-legal sports car designed for enthusiasts seeking uncompromised performance. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine, it delivers 415 horsepower at 7,600 rpm and 405 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. This allows the GT3 RS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 310 km/h.
The GT3 RS distinguishes itself from the standard GT3 with a wider rear track for improved stability, lightweight materials such as a carbon fiber rear wing and polycarbonate rear windows, and unique styling elements including contrasting decals and optional bright colors like Orange and Green. The suspension is tuned for precision, featuring adjustable settings for optimal track performance.
Inside, the GT3 RS features a minimalistic yet sporty interior with Alcantara trim, lightweight bucket seats, and a roll cage. It also offers upgraded braking and aerodynamic enhancements for superior performance on the circuit. The 997.1 GT3 RS is a purist's car, celebrated for its analog driving experience and connection to Porsche's motorsport heritage.
