Taken from Autoexpress:-

The RS is back! When these two evocative letters are added to a Porsche's name, supercar fans know they are in for a real treat - and the machine revealed here promises to live up to the legend. Designed to be the spiritual successor to the most sought after of all 911s, the 1972 Carrera RS, the new car has been built to celebrate the model's 40th anniversary, and is the ultimate incarnation of the German supercar to date.

Special lightweight parts and dramatic looks mean it will be thrilling to drive and own. On the visual side of things, the newcomer is only available with stark white paint, complete with classic-style RS decals above each sill in red or blue. The wheels are colour-keyed to match, and a huge fixed rear wing aids high-speed stability.

To make sure that the performance lives up to the awesome appearance, Porsche's engineers had to develop a powerplant that was suitably impressive. The result is a 381bhp version of the 3.6-litre flat-six unit found in other 911 variants - an increase in output of 61bhp over the Carrera, but still 81bhp behind the Turbo-based GT2.

Even though the RS can't match the straight-line speed of the blown GT2, it is set to smash its stablemate's lap time around the famous Nürburgring circuit thanks to more honed handling and lighter weight. With the rev limiter set up at a lofty 8,200rpm, the RS promises mighty thrills and an intoxicating soundtrack to match. To help the supercar's engine breathe more easily, a new intake has been added under the rear wing to increase air-flow to the powerplant at high speeds.

And it's certainly been designed to be driven hard. Although fully road legal, the Porsche will be produced in accordance with international GT rules for motorsport, and reflecting the fact many owners will want to take their cars to the track, a full roll cage is standard-fit. Performance promises to be mind-blowing, too. The GT3 RS blasts from 0-62mph in only 4.4 seconds, but what's more impressive is 0-124mph (200kph) in 14 seconds. A top speed of 190mph easily matches that of most of the Porsche's rivals, too. In order to recreate the feel of the racing version of the GT3, a number of components have been carried over to the road-going RS.
A close-ratio six-speed box feeds power to the rear wheels, while a light-weight flywheel delivers free-revving performance. The wheel hub assembly is identical to the racing model's, while unique suspension settings promise to give the best mix of on-road and track handling. Key to the car's prowess is weight - the RS is 50kg lighter than the already featherweight Club Sport GT3. A special rear window which is made of an acrylic material and a carbon fibre reinforced front bonnet and rear wing keep the weight down to 1,360kg with a full tank of fuel.

The RS's main rival will be the 360-based, race-tuned Ferrari Chall-enge Stradale. Although the two sportsters' performance will be quite evenly matched, the 911 is expected to cost around £85,000 - much less than the Italian motor's £133,025 and £30,000 cheaper than the 911 GT2. The new Porsche arrives in the autumn, but the production run will be limited to only 'a few months'. So lucky buyers had better get their RS into gear! Chris Thorp

And what is the cost of this incredible weight saving of 50kg? Kerrrchiiinggg! [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

expected to cost around £85,000 more than just Kerrrchiiinggg! [img]images/graemlins/sleeping_2.gif[/img]

According to me, the best sports car at the moment for those who track their cars.

Some of you might think that there is no big difference between the GT3 and GT3RS. I think there is a big difference, maybe such as between M3 and M3CSL.

I realy hope that will be my next car!

Does anyone know how many pcs had been produced and if the production is finished yet or not?

Also is there any website like the RS246 for the GT3/GT3RS?

Thanks for the help!

I am sure that it will be pretty spectacular ont the track - the basic GT3 is outstanding.

But that colour scheme is hideous - a boy racers garage spray job - red on white - yuk makes the car look like it was produced 15 years ago.

What were they thinking

I really like the paint!! Very retro...

Also available with Blue and White!!!

Evo tested one in Blue/White at about 90k on the road.
