Porsche 911 GT3 RS is one of the most adored sports cars out there. We should commend the German car manufacturer for its efforts to uphold the internal combustion engine. Despite the fact that electrification is the future, all us auto enthusiasts want the ICE engine to remain available for as long as possible. Porsche has been unwavering in this aspect. The company has created synthetic fuels that can be utilized in lieu of the traditional gasoline. Thus, it is always a delight to behold a Porsche rev up to 9,000 rpm with its naturally aspirated engine.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS Top speed run
Youtube channel Sport Auto has brought to us a top speed run of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS this time. The on-board video displays the way the needle ascends as the car gains momentum as well as the rapid gear shifts. Don’t overlook the engine’s symphony as well.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is equipped with a 4.0-liter NA engine. This is one of the most potent versions of the motor inserted in any 911. The engine generates 518 HP @ 8,500 rpm, but the driver has up to 9,000 rpm to play with.
We must remember that the 911 GT3 RS is not a top speed machine. It was never meant to shatter speed records, but it is fascinating to witness the speeds increase in a track focused vehicle.
The official top speed of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is 184 mph, but in the video the car achieved 190 mph. This might be due to speedo calibration but it is impressive nevertheless.
Porsche 911 Turbo S : An even swifter Porsche
If the 911 GT3 RS feels lacking in the top speed department, owners can instead opt for the Turbo S. The Turbo S will be able to reach 205 mph before running out of steam. In fact, there is also the new 911 GT2 RS, which will be even faster. However, the car is still a couple of years away and might end up with a hybrid powertrain.
