Markos Statement
The GT3 RS convinces also in the 5th generation as the ultimate tracktool.
Visually, the current RS is very much based on its racing brother, the GT3 CUP.
But the huge rear wing and the wheel arch vents are primarily aerodynamic reasons and provide extremely good downforce values. In addition, compared to the GT3, an extra track and the newly tuned rear axle steering provide enormous stability in the high-speed range. The brakes work almost at GT3 CUP race car level and the ABS tuning is perfect for the race track. The PDK shifts fast and extremely precise and when changing gears the connection to the revs is optimal, so there are no disturbing, drag torque related influences. But most impressive is certainly the traction of the RS, which takes some getting used to.
to the 911 turbo S, whose body was also installed here, the car is extremely demanding when it comes to use on the race track and demands the highest concentration from the driver. Unfortunately we had some traffic on the track so the lap time is not 100% of the possibilities. Low 2:06 times are certainly possible.
SUMMARY: The RS is clearly better at everything than the normal GT3 and is very much geared towards racing. On the racetrack it has to admit defeat, even if only just, to the "everyday car" turbo S, which has more power and traction, with similarly good brakes and suspension.
