The 991 Series is with us since 2012, with phase 991.2 going official at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The latest model to join the 991.2 family is the GT3 RS, which has been leaked in all in glory the Australian automotive media.

Drive took the article down immediately after publication, but Autoevolution were able to capture the content through Google's. As expected, the driver-oriented 911 is scheduled to debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, with the configurator going online sometime in February.

If it wasn't obvious enough, the Mamba Green exterior color of the demo vehicle is all-new. Likely the last hurrah of the 991.2, the refreshed GT3 RS borrows goodies from the GT3 and GT2 RS, with the hood boasting two NACA ducts for that go-faster look anyone would expect from an RS-branded 911.

Compared to the 500-horsepower GT3, the GT3 RS develops 520 metric horsepower from a naturally aspirated boxer engine displacing 4.0 liters. That's 20 more horsepower than the pre-facelift, though there's no word on torque at the present moment. In any case, look forward to at least 460 Nm (339 pound-feet) on full song and the fast-shifting PDK transmission.

The modifications brought forward by the 991.2 phase translated to quicker acceleration (3.2 seconds to 100 km/h) and increased top speed (312 km/h or 194 mph). If it weren't for the thumpin' great rear wing and corner-carving setup, the GT3 RS would've been even faster than that.

Up front, the 20-inch wheels are wrapped in extremely sticky tires that measure 265/35. The rear is a little more aggressive, boasting 21-inch wheels with 325/30-section rubber. Options? The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS has some of those too, including six-point seat belts and a roll cage.

There's talk of an RS Touring option with a manual transmission and ducktail spoiler, but nothing is official in this regard at the time of writing. It proven true, the RS Touring would be the 911 GT3 RS to have, full stop.

Mamba green - unusual but interesting colour. :thumb:
 
Looking good :thumb:
 
The Green Monster!
 
Colour suits it really well, like it better than the Lava Orange. The Merc looked great in the Viper Green but I think the 911 suits it better, think I'll get mine in that colour! :hand:
 
Now that is a colour :worship: I really like the rear ducts on the p.u as well.

It will be a helluva weapon to drive, that much is a given. Porsche just keep on upping their game, very impressive.
 
:eek: Love the colour :worship:

Odd sized wheels...that's a bit...odd :dont know: :grin:

:thumb:
 
:envy:


Love it!!

It's a lean, mean, green machine!

I am sure we will need plenty of green to buy this!!!

My Guess....

RRP 138K

Real world flippers price £215K

£300k is my guess :sad:

300K is strong money...

I expected to see the new GT3 at 200K+. That said, it looks to have "flipped out" in the classifieds at circa 180K, with a few sticking around at that?

From my reading, I reckon the RS usually commands a 30-40k premium over the non rs.

I'd say a minimum of £165k
 
Have had my name on a GT3/GT3RS list for about 2 years.

Asked my dealer today how many GT3RS cars he would be getting. Seems to be a maximum of 1 and potentially none. :sad:
He did say that he had been allocated three 991.1 GT3RS cars.

What are my chances? I'm not even in the top 5 on the list, so once again, another excellent car from Porsche, but one that they don't want to sell to me (or a sizeable number of other people). :?

Very limited I'd say, unless you purchase at least 2+ new cars every year.

It's all about the numbers but you never know you might be lucky :)
