It is impossible to hide the massive wing with camo or cladding.
Road-going cars have adopted active aerodynamics, particularly performance-oriented models. This technology allows the car to adjust its shape as needed. It provides maximum downforce and maximum slipperiness, which is crucial for optimal performance. It shouldn’t surprise that Porsche’s flagship 911 GT3 RS sports this tech. A new video shows the active rear wings in action.
The video shows the coupe driving along the highway. But the most important part is just before the end when the rear wings change shape. Although the video quality is not the best, the changing wing can be clearly seen. It’s not easy to see what it is doing. It appears to be similar to the DRS (Drag Reduction System), which can be found on Formula 1 It appears to be working as an airbrake for cars. However, we would need to look closer to determine its true function.
The video doesn’t show much of the car, but it does give a glimpse at the back. Previous spy shots provided a complete view of the performance Porsche. All of the test cars we have seen have been covered in plastic, concealing the styling beneath. The new GT3 RS will have aggressive front and rear bumpers and a hood with extractors and fender vents. This will compliment the large wing that the company cannot hide from curious eyes.
Porsche’s flat-six 4.0-liter engine should power the car. It should produce more than the 502 horsepower (374 kilowatts), and 346 poundfeet (469 Newton meters) of torque that the engine makes in the not-RS variant. The PDK will only be available as a gearbox. Although we don’t know the exact date Porsche will unveil the GT3 RS yet, it is likely that they will do so in early 2022. We might be waiting a while to get the complete rundown.
