Another 911 at the very sharp end. Ain’t no rest for the wicked.
We love how the 911 has managed to survive to this day with its original shape intact and its flat-six engine still rear-mounted. Our favorites are the pure variants that hark back to the racing heritage of this iconic model. When rumors that all variants were going to be turbocharged began to circulate, purists and fans were understandably alarmed, but their fears were put to rest when a naturally aspirated variant joined the refreshed 991 lineup.
In early 2017, the updated GT3 was introduced with a high-revving 4.0-liter boxer mill devoid of turbos; a year later, it was joined by the GT3 RS. In the Porsche world, ‘Rennsport’ or ‘racing sport’ are derived from racing cars but are street-legal. When you attach these two letters to a variant that’s already considered a pure track monster, you get an even more extreme version.
