The GT3 maxed for downforce — swan-neck wing, DRS, center-locks, and a 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated flat-six.

"It's a £100,000 extra, but can all those wings, wheel covers and trick suspension make it faster than before"

Performance

4.5/511 of 11 reviewersstrong consensus

At 177 miles per hour, this makes 1,900 pounds of total downforce. That's insane for a stock vehicle.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 1:44

This car completely changes what you believe is even possible with a street driven track car.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 15:05

9,000 RPM 518 horsepower... it is a masterclass in downforce.

Handling

4.5/511 of 11 reviewersconsensus

At the limit, the steering is incredibly talkative. The chassis feels so rigid. You feel everything through the seat.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 14:10

The front end already feels so much more planted and like you don't need to manage the the weight over the front end. It's less likely to understeer.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 3:13

it's so precise... the grip is not disappearing.

Fun to drive

5.0/511 of 11 reviewersstrong consensus

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 12:02

Incredibly approachable, yet also insanely capable.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 19:23

in turning all dials to 11 Porsche have made the new GT3 RS absolutely thrilling.

Daily drivability

2.5/59 of 11 reviewerssplit

While it is by far the worst street car, it is a complete driving tool.

critical · Savagegeese · ▶ 44:07

I absolutely hate the sitting position cuz I'm way too upright. And with my helmet, I feel like I'm hunched over.

critical · Zygrene · ▶ 14:16

Value

3.5/510 of 11 reviewerssplit

GT3RS, absolutely worth every penny of 400 to 450,000 dollars.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 16:34

the 911 has ballooning in price.

Savagegeese · ▶ 46:16

100 grand's worth, I mean, it is a lot. I mean, you could buy some pretty special cars for that much, but I think to improve that, you probably need to spend 100 grand to get that extra bit.
