When we think about the legendary Porsche 911, we know straight away that we are dealing with an exceptional car and the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is no exception to this rule.
With a muscular and unique silhouette, along with remarkable performance ‒which we can attest to thanks to our test drive-, the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is sure to please high-performance car aficionados. In our humble opinion, the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the most enjoyable car to drive, in its segment.
Porsche Lauzon, your Porsche dealership in Laval and the Greater Montreal area, invites you to read on below to find out more about our impressions, following our experience at the wheel of the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. We will also tell you about its technical specifications, which have nothing to envy from its competitors!
The 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Exterior Features
On top of boasting stunning lines typical of the 911 family ‒a muscular and fluid silhouette, classic headlights, etc.- this very high-performance sports car stands out with an oversized spoiler which, just like the front diffuser, has automatic settings for better performance while cornering at high speeds.
These settings are made possible via the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) system with DRS, which uses all the vehicle data (acceleration and brake pedal positions, acceleration, etc.) to automatically and quickly adapt the spoiler and diffusor positions.
There are 3 standard body colours available: White, Black and Guards Red. You can also choose GT Silver Metallic, Arctic Grey and Ice Grey Metallic as optional body colours for your 2024 911 GT3 RS, without forgetting the infinite possibilities of customizable body colours available to you.
You will also have the choice among 3 stunning 21- inch rims options ‒20-inches at the front –, that give the 911 a striking design.
If you are the type of person who loves vehicles that don’t go unnoticed on the road and that provoke gawks of admiration, this ultra-high-performance 911 is the perfect car for you!
Impressive Power and Performance
You probably won’t be surprised to find out that the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a powerful vehicle that is perfectly at ease on the racetrack, thanks to its mighty 4.0-liter flat-six engine that produces 518 horsepower/343 lb-ft. of maximum torque, coupled with a rear-wheel drive system and a 7-speed PDK automatic transmission.
This Porsche offers higher levels of performance than several of its rivals, including the Aston Martin Vantage and the Chevrolet Corvette, while being equipped with a 6-cylinder unit rather than a V8.
Moreover, the 911 GT3 RS achieves the 0-100 km/hr sprint in just 3.2 seconds, and the 80-120 km/hr task in only 1.8 seconds, which is the best in its category.
Once you get behind the wheel, you will be able to see for yourself just how powerful accelerations are, as you will literally be glued to your seat!
2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS: The Interior
The interior, just like the exterior, makes it clear that we are dealing with a sports car and that we can expect high doses of adrenaline! There is a sport steering wheel with an integrated drive mode selector knob, fiberglass reinforced bucket seats with GT3 RS embroideries on the headrests, seatbelts in a contrasting colour, along with several contrasting stitches and accents.
Porsche has, once again, clearly demonstrated all of its know-how when it comes to interior fit and finish, not only in terms of the quality of the materials used, but also when it comes to ergonomics.
Moreover, the 911 GT3 RS boasts numerous features like high-performance sound systems that can reach up to 570 Watts ‒ depending on the selected options –, USB-C ports, a navigation module for the Porsche Communication Management system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, climate control over 2 zones and so much more.
At the Wheel of the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
It is impossible not to smile when sitting behind the wheel of this Porsche vehicle. In fact, the spirited driving experience combined to the remarkable stability while tackling tight turns and the incredible howling of the engine, will provoke a sensation of freedom in its purest form, no matter if you are driving on the racetrack or on the highway.
Furthermore, the 911 GT3 RS is one of the only sports cars to be road-legal while also offering customizable aerodynamics, like those found on a race car.
If you have ever had the pleasure to drive a standard 911 model that “only” produces 379 horsepower, you will quickly understand that the 911 GT3 RS is even more intoxicating and promises memorable experiences during each and every one of your drives.
Moreover, its light build ‒which is made possible thanks to the use of materials like aluminum and carbon fiber- also contributes to its remarkable levels of performance. Finally, the Weissach package allows for an extra 33 lbs (15 kg) to be shaved off compared to the base trim of the 911 GT3 RS, with equipment such as a carbon roof, hood, side mirrors and spoiler.
One thing is for sure: we enjoyed every second spent at the wheel of the 911 GT3 RS, especially given that such an opportunity is not likely to present itself again any time soon, and all the more since one would have to spend a little over $300,000 to get their hands on their own copy of the 911 GT3 RS. A truly precious gem!
