2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Posted on 03. Oct, 2009 by PB.

One wonders how could anything improve on the last 911 RS, yet with engine, transmission and suspension all matched for performance, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS yet again sets a new standard for high-end performance Porsches.

The 3.8 liter engine in the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is fine-tuned right down to the air filters and flywheel – all designed for top-notch performance whether on the track or the road. This outputs four hundred and fifty horsepower and to be honest, trying to tame this on anything other than a track would make you a lot braver than I am. If it’s anything like the last model, then it’s not that it’s difficult to control, it’s more that it needs a better driver than I am to get the best out of it. No…I’m not even embarrassed to admit it. The last one scared me..just a wee bit mind…I even had a strange premonition of wrapping it round a tree.

All new 500bhp 911 Turbo

The seventh generation Porsche 911 Turbo is an embodiment of all things Porsche. Engineering, style, comfort, and safety all come together to provide raw unrelenting speed and a perpetual smile on the lucky driver’s face. With a cool base price of around £100,000, this road missile will carry you from 0-62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds when coupled with the seven speed PDK transmission.

With any new model in the range, people always debate about what’s changed. Well you read it here first…it has two front seat cup holders. Honestly! The cup holders are of a mediocrity not common for Porsche, but the general consensus is that if you use the cup holders in a bloodthirsty 500-horse power speed machine, you don’t know how to drive it.

When people imagine the name ‘Porsche’, it is safe to say that a large amount instantly think of a big wing on the back of a car which always has on evil grin plastered to its face. The 911 turbo is the reason for this image. It is beautiful. It is efficient. It is cutting edge. It is fast.

How much would you love one of these…check out this video of a 9ff GTurbo doing 0-273kph! The video is from the guys over at Wildest Cars and is most definitely worth of a re-post. Keep up the good work!

“The turbocharged GT3 RS with 750bhp, doing what it does best. Now we didn’t actually start from 0, it was more like 8, but you know, we tried…It can’t get the power down in the first few gears, but the sheer thrust of the thing in the higher gears was and is borderline insane!
