Although it’s faster than a GT2 RS GT2 RS, it still sounds like a GT3 RS.
Edmond Mondi wanted the GT3’s soulful sound but the GT2’s thrust. This brings us to the colorful 911 that was featured in the Shmee150 video. Mondi visited his California-based shop and tried the TT3 RS.
It’s a GT3 RS, with the 4.0-liter flat-6 crammed behind its rear wheels. It still retains its 13.3:1 compression ratio and spins in the stratosphere. The engine is fed by a pair 76 millimeter turbochargers , which generate 800 horsepower (597 kW). This is a lot more than what the GT2 RS can offer, but Mondi plans on increasing it to 950 hp (708 kW), and he estimates the setup should produce 1,200 horsepower. Yes, it can be driven on the roads. Monster, meet mega-monster.
There are also aero upgrades that can be added to get your engine moving. The rear spoiler, which is more appropriate for something that climbs Pikes Peak, sits below the bumper. It has a custom-made splitter. It’s actually mounted below the bumper. Mondi had the lower fascia removed to accommodate turbos. However, this mod allows us to see the rear steamroller-spec tires.
The aero modifications include extended side sills and canards on the front splitter. Mondi claims that the car can generate 3,500 lbs of downforce. This is enough to warrant a custom suspension setup in order to prevent the car from digging into the ground.
How does it feel to drive? The screaming exhaust note and the splash wrap exterior won’t attract the attention of motorists or bystanders. It’s also very quick, but it looks surprisingly streetable in the video. Mondi and Shmee adore the GT3 RS’s turbos, which provide a lot of low-end power.
We are convinced that the TT3 RS succeeds in its mission to combine the best of both 911 RS and TT3 RS, judging by the permagrins that both men display during the 22-minute video.
