Overview
Simply put, the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 and the all-out track-attack GT3 RS are utterly transcendent, blending everything we love about the standard 911 with otherworldly performance, uncompromised driving enjoyment, and hot-lap capability. A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine makes demonic sounds as it howls up to its 9000 rpm redline, producing 502 horsepower along the way in the GT3 and GT3 Touring.
Interior
The top-dog GT3 RS variant joins the lineup this year, complete with a massive rear wing, a race-car aerodynamic package, and a 518-horsepower version of the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine. The GT3 RS looks insane, a video-game race car come to life, and we expect it to hit 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds when we get our hands on it at our testing facility. The price of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS starts at $171,150 and goes up to $225,250 depending on the trim and options.
Exterior
Combine that with standard adaptive dampers and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2–or stickier Cup R–tires and the coupe's chassis provides tremendous cornering grip and unfiltered feedback. While the GT3's ride is undeniably firm it's never punishing, and the electrically assisted steering is so divinely communicative that it deserves anointment as the best in the business. We'll see if the RS is stiffened up for the race track to the point it's uncomfortable on the street. Stopping the purist's Porsches are massive steel binders; a carbon-ceramic option provides heroic braking power, easy modulation, and resists fade at the track.
Specs
The infotainment system found on the regular 911 finds its way into the GT3 version. That means a 10.9-inch touchscreen inhabits the center of the dashboard and is supplemented by some physical controls on the steering wheel as well as on the center console. The Porsche's connectivity features include wireless Apple CarPlay and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There's also an option to upgrade to a Bose stereo.
