Porsche Of The Day: 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS once again blurs the boundary between road-going sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum degree of motorsport technology currently possible in a street-legal 911, yet retains supreme suitability for everyday driving. 

 The GT3 RS boasts a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine, delivering 500 hp at 6,250 rpm and 384 foot-pounds of torque, paired with a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) automatic transmission.

Visually striking with a giant rear wing, large intakes, and wide track, the GT3 RS reaches 60 mph in 3 seconds. Its true essence lies in track performance and handling, featuring stiff springs, solid mounts, and manually adjustable settings for customization.

Race-derived refinements, such as an electronically locking rear differential and rear-wheel steering, make the GT3 RS a formidable track weapon, achieving a Nurburgring lap time of 6:56.4, faster than the Porsche 918.

True to its RS designation, it offers unparalleled track performance while maintaining road readiness. The GT3 RS provides thrilling off-track performance and relative comfort for daily driving, making it a perfect blend of aggressive racing capabilities and practical usability.
