For many fans of purist, honest sports cars, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 991.2 is the highlight of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The most powerful 911 with naturally aspirated engine offers the performance of a race car with the street legal certification and is therefore far more fascinating for many sportscar fans as more powerful, but often less consistent models from other manufacturers. Although 520 hp and 470 Newton meters of torque are no longer the peak today, the overall package puts many nominally stronger cars in the shade.
The engine, transmission and chassis of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 991.2, like all other components, are ultimately committed to one goal: maximum performance on the race track. This claim is particularly visible in the aerodynamics, which could differ with its own front bumper including large splitter attachments, air vents, diffuser and of course the huge rear wing. Finest motorsport technology also provides the suspension, which is equipped with ball joints.
The fact that Porsche does not require an extra charge for the Clubsport package with roll bar, fire extinguishers and pre-equipments for battery disconnect switch and six-point seat belt, fits the character of the vehicle. The Weissach package, which includes additional lightweight components and even magnesium wheels on request, is very expensive.
For the world premiere in Geneva, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS sports the lacquer finish Lizard Green that is perfect for its extrovert appearance, with many elements in black and visible carbon setting dark accents. The prices for the strongest 911 with naturally aspirated engine start in Germany at 195,137 euros, but in practice hardly a copy of the 911 GT3 RS will be sold for less than 200,000 euros.
