Engine and Performance
The heart of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine that produces 518 horsepower and 347 pound-feet of torque. That’s an increase of 16 horsepower and 7 pound-feet over the regular GT3 and 5 horsepower more than the previous generation GT3 RS. The engine revs up to a glorious 9,000 rpm, making demonic sounds along the way. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that can shift gears in milliseconds and is the only option available for the RS model. The transmission also features a launch control system that can propel the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 mph.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is fast in a straight line and incredibly agile and responsive in the corners. The race car has a rear-wheel steering system that can adjust the angle of the rear wheels by up to 2 degrees, depending on the speed and driving mode. This improves the car’s stability, cornering, and maneuverability. The sports car also has a torque vectoring system to distribute torque between the rear wheels to enhance traction and handling. The car’s suspension is tuned for optimal performance on the track, with adjustable dampers, coil springs, and anti-roll bars. The car also features carbon-ceramic brakes that provide excellent stopping power and resistance to fade.
