MARC URBANO, THE MANUFACTURER. Porsche, whose estimates are generally on the conservative side, pegs the 911 GT3 RS’s zero-to-60-mph time at 3.1 seconds and its zero-to-124-mph run If you want the highest performance 911 that'll ask for a minimum of sacrifices as you use it as a primary car, you want the Turbo S. If you're looking for an investment (potentially long-term) or a street legal track car, this is when you might want the GT3 RS. It is possible to daily a GT3 RS, but it asks for sacrifices to do so. The Turbo S produces 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque while the GT2 RS makes 700 hp and 553 lb-ft. Both have an eight-speed dual-clutch auto changing gears, but the Turbo S has the added Porsche 911 GT3 RS: engine Speaking of the engine, the new GT3 RS gets the same naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six revving to a hysterical 9,000rpm. Hotter camshafts have upped power by a very The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, which is powered by a 502-hp 4.0-liter flat-six, starts at $162,450.; Additionally, 911 Carrera and Targa models are up $2000 and Turbo and Turbo S models are $3500 more The new 911 GT3 RS reduces the need to brake before bends and chicanes to a minimum. The sports tyres with 275/35 R20 at the front and 335/30 R21 at the rear, the new wider wheels and wider track provide more lateral dynamics and higher cornering speeds. More robust. Turbo/TurboS: Probably the best daily driver car in the world. Powerful, capable, comfortable, luxurious. GT3/GT3RS: More Raw, more fun, more sound, sharper, edgier, louder, faster (around corners), raw raw and raw. If I have to run an errand I take the Turbo S. If I want to enjoy a drive, I grab the GT3RS. The 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is arguably the ultimate RS model, and the roadgoing swan song for the magnificent Mezger flat-six. (even the Turbo), Porsche Motorsport's Mezger engine powers OFVK. I had the opportunity to drive both cars on the same day at Atlanta Motorsports Park. To me, the first big difference was power. It was very clear that the Turbo S offered much more torque due to the turbo itself. BUT, the GT3 RS was absolutely planted through the turns. I’m told that the GT3 RS can create upwards of 700 lbs. of downforce and I believe it! The cornering capabilities of the GT3 RS were noticeably superior to the Turbo S. Porsche has created two impeccable machines and both are a pleasure to drive. If someone were to ask me which car is faster “around the track?” I would give the GT3 RS the slight edge because of the downforce in the corners. If someone were to ask me which car is faster “in a straight line?” Bye bye GT3 RS, The Turbo S is hands down faster. Lesson of the day: If you’re driving down the road in your quarter million dollar Porsche 911/GT3 RS and you come up to a red light next to another Porsche. Make sure it’s not a 911/Turbo S before you take off, because if it is you’ll get smoked! 2017 Porsche 911 Split Personality: Turbo S vs. GT3 RS Porsche’s absolute peak of its 911 line is a Jekyll and Hyde story for the modern age. Both models are born from the same DNA, but one pampers its driver into overconfidence while the other shames them into submission. But which is more worth its barely under $200k sticker price? That ruling depends on your habits and preferences as a driver as well as your penchant for punishment. So let’s see how each model stacks up to decide which side of Jekyll/Hyde you prefer. Porsche 911 Turbo S: The Consummate Coddling Coupé At 3,563 lbs and stuffed to the gills with every electronic nanny imaginable, the 580 hp 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S is the absolute peak of what some define an exotic performance car to be. Put simply, all those gadgets tucked in neatly underneath gorgeous, curvaceous sheet metal can make you one hell of a driver. No, it won’t keep you from burning out the clutch on your brother-in-law’s manual farm truck or suddenly teach you how to exit a turn without nuzzling the wall, but what it will do is give you grip when and where you need it. And lots of it. The PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system continually re-vectors torque thousands of times throughout a turn to attain neutral handling in a stunning variety of situations. Turns that would normally result in catastrophic understeer can be navigated like a maître d dodges incoming busboys. When you turn a bit too aggressively and initiate what would have normally been a slide, PTM kicks in alongside an electronic locking differential to make the back wheels do the steering for you. But having an electronic guardian angel over your shoulder can easily cultivate bad habits and lead to overconfidence. Suddenly, you could get a bit too happy with the wheel and direct it towards the nearest retaining wall, with which the 911 Turbo S might happily comply. So, you should feel no shame in enjoying being pampered by the Turbo, but don’t let it spoil you into becoming a less attentive driver. Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Ferocious, Feral and Fun The 911 GT3 RS is the polar opposite approach to modifying the Carrera compared to the Turbo S. Strip out most of the nannies, take the stereo and sound-deadening with you, and strap in the closest engine you’ll get to a cup car, and you have a monstrously powerful 500 hp beast. Too powerful? Perhaps. Fun? You bet your sweet tush! Porsche’s GT3 RS is the answer to all the complainers who whine about the death of analog driving. While it still retains systems like Porsche’s insanely advanced dual-clutch seven-speed PDK transmission, it refuses to play backseat driver to your shenanigans. Want to slide the whole rear end through a hairpin? Be its guest — if you can make it all the way through. This “make you smoke every cigarette in the pack” approach to punishment can lead to some gleeful moments but also some downright terrifying ones. The fact that the steering wheel unabashedly transmits every bit of road feedback only adds to the rodeo-like feeling. But when you master it, thar be bliss in them turns. A hyper rigid frame and all that dieting pair sublimely with the smooth-locking rear differential to make the vehicle an extension of your body rather than an insulator against your poorest decisions. Snap too hard off the brakes on an exit, for instance, and the nose lurches upwards, diminishing your control and grip until you guide it back down. In the end, the GT3 RS is the most car you can have on the track that can legally sport a license plate on its rump. Take care of the beast, and it will take care of you — but don’t think you can take your eyes off it for a second.

When it comes to the Porsche 911, there isn't really a bad trim to pick from. Even in basic Carrera S form, it's an excellent driver with a lot to offer. The Turbo S and GT3 RS then, are at the very top of the 911 range for a reason. Each offers the greatest capabilities of the current 911 platform. But which one is faster around a track? This new head-to-head onboard video is here to show us. While the Turbo S and the GT3 RS share similar price brackets, each car has its own unique set of features that make it great. The GT3 RS, for instance, has plenty of carbon fiber bodywork to save weight, and has heaps of downforce thanks to that huge wing. It has a naturally aspirated 500-horsepower flat-six, driving the rear wheels. The Turbo S, on the other hand, is a completely different beast. It's geared more towards luxury, equipped with a full interior and a much more tame exterior design. But unlike the GT3, the Turbo utilizes forced induction and all-wheel-drive grip to claw its way through a turn. EVO got the chance to bring these two ultimate 911s on track and compare times. Despite the vastly different ways each car goes about getting around the track, with the same driver behind the wheel, they set the exact same lap time. It just goes to show, no matter which top-of-the-line 911 you choose, you'll have a machine capable of going very, very fast. This content is imported from YouTube.

The GT3 RS stands slightly wider and lower, and features a lower lip spoiler up front and a pronounced wing on the rear deck. Probably the bright M&M-green paint job is what really sets the RS apart from the Carrera S. But the devil is always in the details. If you haven't checked the engine specs listed nearby, you'd know — with the first twist of the ignition key — that the Carrera S and the GT3 RS do not share the same powerplant. The S has a strong, but muted engine note. The RS spins to life with authority and makes its presence known, thanks to a thundering crackle through the exhaust. The road-going 911 is equipped with a flat-6 rated at 355 bhp and 295 of torque. And the more potent twin is armed with a different, race-bred flat-6 capable of pumping out 415 bhp and 300 of torque. Moreover, the RS's different engine fitment also calls for a 6-speed manual with slightly taller gearing in the lower ratios to take advantage of the car's higher 8400-rpm redline. To turn the Carrera S into a worthy track racer, the GT3 RS takes the same basic front MacPherson strut and rear multilink suspension setup and firms it up with more aggressive springs and shocks. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) can already change the RS's ride character on the fly with a push of button in the cockpit. But to allow additional fine-tuning of the suspension on the track, front and rear struts have external threads and spring perches for ride-height adjustments. Further, at the rear are unique split track-control arms; metal bushings replace rubber ones for more precise wheel location at speed. Both front and rear anti-roll bars are also adjustable. The GT3 RS is about 80 lb. lighter, thanks in part to deleting the rear seats. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCBs) on the RS are 50 percent lighter than the stock rotors, reducing unsprung mass by lb. The combination of weight savings and more horsepower equates to better acceleration numbers. Zero to 60 mph in the RS is clocked at sec., which is sec. faster than the Carrera S. But as the speed builds the high-revving RS engine pulls more aggressively, thanks to a variable-volume intake system that switches over at 6350 rpm. The car pushes past the 100-mph mark with a advantage. The quarter-mile is covered in sec. at mph, sec. and almost 5 mph faster than the Carrera S. In the handling department, the RS again edges out the stock S with on the skidpad, and travels more than 3 mph faster through the slalom course. In brake tests, the GT3 RS actually needed a few feet longer to stop from 60 and 80 mph. This is perhaps due to the PCCBs not reaching their most effective operating temperature. Of course, warming up the brakes is never a problem at Willow Springs. Right after Millen lapped the GT3 RS nearly 4 sec. quicker than the Carrera S, he noted: "The brakes are great. It got better as the laps went on." He is able to drive deeper than the Carrera S into the corners. The data showed that significant time was saved here in Turns 1, 2 and 3.
