Launched in October of 2003, the 996 911 GT3 RS is an extremely sporty model with the power and purist qualities of a thoroughbred circuit racer, but legally qualified in every way for road use. It is the perfect track car.
Customers can race it in weekends and drive it to work on weekdays. Compare with the standard 996 GT3, it has stiffer suspensions and virtually no equipment for creature comfort. In return, you get the purest driving experience among all versions of 911.
The 996 GT3 RS distinguishes itself with a lighter construction, featuring a polycarbonate rear window, carbon fiber bonnet, and rear wing. Enhanced with stiffer progressive dampers and adjustable control arms, this model delivers unparalleled agility and precision on the track.
Inside, the focus on weight reduction continues with lightweight door cards and handles, paired with deeply bolstered bucket seats covered in fabric, multi-point harnesses, and the absence of rear seats.
Powered by the formidable 3.6-liter “Mezger” flat-six engine producing an official output of 381 horsepower, this potent powerplant propels the GT3 RS from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 306 km/h, reaffirming its status as a formidable force on both the track and the road.
