EXTERIOR
Draped in a mesmerising shade of Ultraviolet, this RS looks incredible in one of its signature launch colours – the deep purple shade really suits the aggressive and wide lines of one of the latest Rennsport 911s. Covered in Paint protection film at the front the body remains in excellent order and the paintwork in superb condition.
With its huge rear wing, lightweight glass and perspex side and rear window there is no doubting that this car is made for a sole purpose. Every styling addition is there for effect not looks, It’s front wing louvres double downforce at the front meaning a larger rear wing can be used to provide a balance across the whole car. The large side air intakes create a ram effect for the engine, once placed on the back of the RS car it’s now at the side utilising ‘cleaner’ air than that flowing over the roof – an audible benefit too as the induction from the engine travels further through the car adding to the driving sensation.
The magnesium sculpted roof is a highlight, never before constructed for any road or even race car at the time, and an entirely new process of construction that saves just 1 kg (but just in the right place) than a carbon fibre alternative such was Porsche commitment to perfection.
INTERIOR
Beautifully appointed the 991 RS features carbon sculpted 918 body hugging sports alongside an abundance of alcantara to the roof lining, lower dash and door trims. The dash is trimmed in leather with contrasting silver stitching that continues and adds definition throughout the car right through to the door pulls. A body coloured roll cage and yellow seat belts offer a flourish of character while a host of tech including DAB radio, Nav, Bluetooth and online services all played through an upgraded BOSE sound system provide entertainment and connectivity.
At the business end, sports dials adorn the instrument cluster along with the standard speed limiter button, traction/stability control, switchable exhaust and suspension pre sets around the gear selector.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 4.0 litre engine is hidden from view under black plastic and twin fans however it’s every bit as special and matches the technical and advanced construction of the rest of the car.
While previous generations of GT3 and GT3 RS variants shared engine components this is not the case for the 991. There is a different crankshaft, its material is only used on the 919 LMP1 racecars – a highly clean metal that is melted and solidified several times to get it as pure as possible and more durable, different con-rods, pistons, camshafts, cam springs and oil system all make up this masterful and very special 500bhp unit.
The PDK 7 speed box is the latest in Porsche rapid fire drivetrain development, punching through the gears in a seamless and continuous fashion.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The tyre sizes on the 911 GT3 RS are nothing short of impressive: 265/35 ZR 20 on 9.5 J x 20 at the front, 325/30 ZR 21 on 12.5 J x 21 at the rear.
An un-compromised decision from boss Andreas Preuniger it was a must to use the same setup as the 918 Spyder for outright mechanical grip despite all initial CAD mock ups showing they would not fit. Suspension and body changes were all necessary along with expensive adjustments to the production line as the car was too wide! The result of the 20/21 inch combination is sensational showing added pitch combined with maximum track width on the rear.
Multi-spoke satin silver wheels house Porsche’s mighty PCCB braking system allied with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres showing excellent tread depth.
