Gorgerous Garage: GT3 RS Gets Welcomed Home
Think you have to baby a car like the GT3 RS as soon as you take delivery? Not according to Rennlist forum user GT3bang. “Warm the oil, hit it, have fun,” he says. Ferdinand would be proud. We’ve all seen the press vehicle, you know the polarizing hue of purple that wouldn’t be most enthusiast’s first choice, but this one is devoid of an incriminating color. Simple in white.
Aside from the 918, which is made of individual components more expensive in their singular form than most cars, the Holy Grail of flat-six powered Porsches has always been the GT3 RS. The GT3 RS is the ultimate interpretation of rear-engine performance, with it’s bigger 4.0 liter ‘six, wider body than the turbo model, and nearly every bit of downforce that you’d see on the GT3 cup car.
Saying that a car is a “race car for the road” is pretty cliche among car journalists, and we oft try not to utter it because of it’s lost value. This car though is likely to be one of the closest to the term that you can find. Not because of it’s ability to whack up G-forces as yet unknown, but because of the sum of its parts.
