PORSCHE continues its evolution of the 911 range with the introduction of the new GT3 RS, due in the autumn. This sporty model combines the power and purist qualities of a thoroughbred circuit racer while being fully road legal.

The RS, like its motorsport predecessors, is available only with a full roll-over cage installed. All cars have a white paint finish, with the inscriptions in blue or red, continuing the tradition of its famous forebears.

The road version of Porsche’s new sports car has various technical features that will also appear on the racing version; for example, the complete wheel hub assemblies, divided front and rear lateral suspension control arms, optimised rear-axle geometry, a special weight-saving rear window made of acrylic material and a carbon-fibre reinforced front hood and rear wing.

For the classic sprint from 0 to 62mph, the RS needs 4.4 seconds and its top speed is 191mph.

The car is expected to be priced in the region of £85,000.
