Watch Porsche’s Giant 992 911 GT3 RS Active Rear Wing Doing Its Thing
Short clip provides a quick glimpse at the massive wing on the new 992 911 GT3 RS moving around on the highway.
As good as the Porsche 992 911 GT3 is, it goes without saying that the 992 911 GT3 RS is one of the more hotly anticipated new models in the automotive pipeline. The RS version of the GT3, as has always been the case, will represent an even harder-core track weapon, though we know very little about the car at the moment. But one thing Porsche can’t hide is the forthcoming GT3 RS’ massive, active rear wing, which was recently spotted in action by YouTuber Gionny05.
There’s no amount of camouflage in the world that can hide that giant wing, thus, Porsche doesn’t even bother to try on this particular prototype. This clip is quite short and not the greatest quality, but at the very end, we do get to see the wing move for just a split second, which makes it somewhat difficult to tell exactly what’s going on here, but it’s clear that the wing is hard at work.
Active aero is nothing new on both road cars and racers, of course, but the new wing should give the 992 911 GT3 RS even more of an edge in terms of performance. The wing is able to move itself to provide more or less downforce or airflow depending on what is needed at any given moment, or even help slow the car down more quickly. It’s the sort of thing you’d see on an F1 car, and it’s very cool to watch happening on a public road with a production, er, pre-production vehicle.
That giant rear wing will also work in tandem with an array of other aerodynamic enhancements the GT3 RS wears, including its aggressively styled front end with large air intakes, fender vents, and air extractors on the hood, all of which figure to make Porsche’s hardcore track 911 astonishingly quick around any circuit. And the purists out there (like us) will be happy to know that it will keep tradition with a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, though sadly, no manual transmission option is planned.
Regardless, we’re excited to see the 992 911 GT3 RS in the flesh and slip behind the wheel to experience what should be an unparalleled driving experience. When that will actually happen is anyone’s guess, however.
