Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991)




The current GT3 RS is one of the best Porsche 911s you can buy, and is the third fastest and most powerful 911 ever made, behind the new 911 R and current Turbo/S. Under the boot is a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six churning out 500 hp and 338 ft-lbs. of torque. It can hit 60 mph from a standstill in approximately three seconds, onto a top speed of 193 mph. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch. Even though the 911 GT3 RS's goal is to record better lap times and conserve weight, it's still available with air conditioning, navigation, and a stereo system, unlike the limited-edition 911 R. The trunk lid, front fenders, and engine cover are composed of carbon fiber, while the roof is a one-millimeter thick sheet of magnesium. Porsche claims that the magnesium roof is lighter than one made of aluminum by almost two and a half pounds and one made of carbon fiber by 28 ounces. If you are looking into purchasing a new 911 GT3 RS, you will have to fork over $180,595. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a monster on the track and street. It looks amazing and goes like stink. I'm not sure whether I would rather have this vehicle or a new 911 Turbo/S, however.
