It’s amazing how strong this downforce is! Porsche is currently testing a new wing. It also has a 911 GT3 RS attached.
Porsche is relentless in updating the 911 lineup. There always seems to be another model. We already know that the GT3 was launched last month and that additional versions will be coming in 2021, according to parent company VW Group. Our spies have seen the Safari and it could be one of them. The track-strength GT3 RS was captured by our photographers today.
The rear wing is so large that you might think Porsche was testing it as a race car, which would be tempting if the new model has one. 911 GT3 Cup has. We can see that the prototype was equipped with a license plate, and was being tested on public roads. It even had one of the German emission stickers in the lower corner of the windshield.
The prototype, in typical Porsche fashion is dressed in a camouflage disguise. Although it may appear unremarkable at the rear, you will see a layer of body-colored camo on its bumper. The engine cover and even the endplates of the wing are hidden. The side profile hides vented front fenders in 991.2 GT3RS fashion. Also, the suspension setup has minimal ground clearance.
We are noticing that the bumper conceals some of its secrets under cleverly placed camo. The underbody flaps can be seen from many angles. This is likely because Porsche has perfected the aggressive aerodynamic package for the RS model. The track star will get a more powerful brake system and a stiffer chassis, as well as model-specific wheels and interior tweaks.
The new 992-gen 911 GT3 RS will have a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter engine. The engine already generates 502 horsepower (374 kilowatts), and 346 poundfeet (469 Newton meters) in the nonRS version. Porsche will likely massage the flat-six to get a little more power. The GT3’s “normal” version can be ordered with a stick-shift, but the hotter variant will likely come with a PDK-only option.
The RS will be announced in the coming months, but Porsche may wait until 2022 to reveal the winged wonder.
