2007 997.1 GT3 RS COUPE
The 997-based GT3 RS is distinguished by its performance capability and unadulterated race car-like driving experience. Its exceptionally powerful 3.6-liter engine is capable of 415 bhp at 7,600 rpm. It sprints to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. Its new body was 44 mm wider at the rear (a legacy from the Carrera 4 models) by comparison with the 911 GT3. Its muscular- looking rear end conceals a wider track that not only improves directional stability but also increases its transverse acceleration potential.
2010 997.2 GT3 RS COUPE
While the first generation of Porsche’s 997 GT3 RS was truly an excellent automobile, Porsche made significant updates to the platform for the 997.2 facelift. The displacement of its Mezger flat-six engine was enlarged to 3.8 liters, which brought about an increase of 35 bhp, raising total output to 450 bhp. Thanks to a larger rear spoiler and a revised front bumper, the car was able to achieve even greater downforce than its predecessor.
