New 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Guards Red Reveal

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS makes no secret of its intentions: it is uncompromisingly designed for maximum performance. The sports car takes full advantage of technology and concepts from motorsport, from its high-revving naturally aspirated 525 PS (386 kW) engine to its intelligent lightweight construction. But it’s the cooling system and aerodynamic elements of the 911 GT3 RS that connect it most directly with its motorsport brother, the 911 GT3 R. Central radiator concept inspired by motorsport – the foundation for active aerodynamics A centrally positioned radiator was first used by Porsche in the Le Mans class-winning 911 RSR and subsequently in the 911 GT3 R. Now, it is featured in a road-going 911 model for the first time. Instead of the three-radiator layout seen in previous 911 models, the new 911 GT3 RS relies on a large, angled centre radiator in the car’s nose, positioned where the luggage compartment is located on other 911 models. This has made it possible to use the space freed up on the sides to integrate active aerodynamic elements. These continuously adjustable wing elements – in combination with the two-part rear wing and a number of other aerodynamic measures – provide 409 kg of total downforce at 124 mph (200 km/h). It means that the new 911 GT3 RS generates twice as much downforce as its 991.2-generation predecessor and three times as much as a current 911 GT3. At 177 mph (285 km/h), total downforce is 860 kg. The look of the new 911 GT3 RS is characterised by the large number of functional aerodynamic elements. The most prominent feature of the GT3 RS is the ‘swan-neck’ rear wing, which is significantly larger in all dimensions than any wing previously used on a road-going 911. It consists of a fixed main wing and an upper, hydraulically adjustable wing element. For the first time on a Porsche production vehicle, the upper edge of the rear wing extends higher than the roof. The Porsche 911 GT3 is getting a big brother: the 911 GT3 RS, the new top of the 911 line in terms of performance will celebrate its world premiere on 17 August. The development of the high-performance sports car was inspired by the successful 911 RSR and 911 GT3 R GT racing cars. “The new 911 GT3 RS is even more optimised for track use than its predecessors. The spontaneously responsive, high-revving four-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine with approximately 500 PS has proven ideal for use at track days and club sport events,” says Andreas Preuninger, Director GT Model Line. “That's why we focused primarily on aerodynamics and chassis questions in the development of the new 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Guards Red.” Source: Porsche ➡️ Discover all new cars before anyone else!
