991 GT3 RS Clubsport

The Porsche 991 GT3 RS set new the boundaries between road-going sports cars and race cars when it was launched in 2015. The ultimate road going Porsche was equipped with the maximum degree of motorsport technology in a street-legal 911, while retaining supreme suitability for everyday driving.

Extensive modifications to the drive system, aerodynamics and lightweight design enhanced performance beyond that of even the 911 GT3. Indeed, the RS set a lap time around the 20 km Nürburgring Nordschleife of 7 min 20 secs; an achievement which also trumped the historic record value of the Carrera GT super sports car of just under 7 min and 29 secs. As a consequence, this clearly qualified the 911 GT3 RS as the benchmark in its class – directly at its launch.

As befits the tradition at Porsche, motorsport expertise is the reason for this superior performance. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine with 500 hp of power and 460 Nm of torque, combined with a specially developed PDK transmission. The engine, which has the largest displacement and most power of any naturally-aspirated power unit with direct fuel injection in the 911 family, accelerates the high-performance sports car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 sec and on to 200 km/h in only 10.9 sec.
