The Porsche 911 GT3 RS leaks early: 520 CV and a 9,000 RPM redline for the most radical nine-eleven

This year’s Geneva Motor Show will be full of unprecedented surprises, but some of them can be glimpsed before the event takes place. Porsche is one of the brands generating the most expectation, and not only for its future electric models, but also for those characterised by radical tuning. The 911 GT3 RS 991.2 is about to arrive, and thanks to some leaks we have been able to see it before its official presentation.

Not long ago we learned that the German firm plans to fit a turbocharged engine to the GT3, but its most radical version still opts for natural aspiration. Specifically, we find not only the most powerful naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine in history, but also a series of aerodynamic and aesthetic changes that make the 911 GT3 RS one of the most effective vehicles of all time.

Thanks to some images we have seen while browsing Instagram and other social networks, the GT3 RS 991.2 has been uncovered. Specifically, it appeared on the account of Mr. JWW, one of the most famous and acclaimed YouTubers when it comes to the automotive world. But let’s get to the point: the main changes this new version of the most sporting 911 presents.

Aesthetically, we can make out certain elements it shares with the GT2 RS, its turbo-engined counterpart. The front bonnet is characterised by two air intakes, very similar to those we see on the aforementioned vehicle. On the other hand, the front bumper has also been redesigned, with more protruding air intakes that give it a greater sporting character. At the same time, this generation of the GT3 RS debuts a new colour called Lizard Green, which also appears inside the car.

The characteristic rear wing remains present, but we do find some differences in the light clusters and certain parts of the diffuser, though the most interesting aspect is the mechanics. The engine that brings this new RS to life is a 4.0 flat-six naturally aspirated unit capable of delivering 520 CV, compared with the 500 CV of the previous generation. Moreover, this engine, an endangered species , can reach 9,000 rpm, the moment at which car and driver become one. For better or worse, the only option will be pairing this vehicle with a PDK automatic gearbox.

For now we do not know more details about this astonishing 911 GT3 RS, but it will be present at the next Geneva Motor Show, where we will discover much more information about it. Without a doubt, this Porsche 911 will be one of the most special ever built, since we will soon see naturally aspirated engines disappear from every supercar.
