🐾 Porsche 911 Turbo S Vs Gt3 Rs

It did naught to 60 mph in 2.87 seconds, making it over 0.3s quicker than the official specs sheet. That makes it less than three-tenths of a second slower than the sprint time quoted by Porsche Those versions of the 911 still look pretty pricey next to the Jaguar F-Type and the 911's stablemate, the Porsche 718 Cayman. The Turbo, Turbo S and GT3 versions are vastly more expensive still The base-level Porsche 911 Turbo already offers 54 more horsepower than the GT3 RS, and 70 more horsepower than the base GT3. With up to 640 horsepower, the Turbo S is a lot more powerful, and significantly faster, than anything in the GT3 lineup. A Turbo S Coupe can run from 0 to 60 in a lightning-fast 2.6 seconds. Developed in Flacht, at home on the racetrack: the 4.0-litre high-revving flat-6 naturally aspirated engine. With a sound that makes your heart beat faster. Close to the racetrack; acoustically too: with the 911 GT3, not only the driving experience ensures an authentic motorsport feeling, but also its thoroughbred sound. In 2016, Gooding oversaw the sale of a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR which fetched $2,310,000. Looking further back, in 2014, a 1973 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Lightweight sold for $1,402,500. More recently, a ’73 RSH 2.7 (another special, rare model) found a new owner to the tune of $1,380,00. 911 GT3 RS. 911 GT3 RS. Maximum performance. As soon as the lights give the starting signal, the new 911 GT3 RS delivers unbelievable performance of up to 465 Nm on the circuit. 386 kW (525 PS) catapult you from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, with no time to breath until reaching a top speed of 296 km/h. The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S is a road-legal rocket ship. The twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-6 in the rear of this insane Porsche puts out 640 horsepower (477 Kilowatts) and 590 lb-ft (800 Newton Meters Performance: Same, But Different. The GT3 has one of the world's finest naturally aspirated engines in its 4.0-liter flat-six. It revs to a glorious 9,000 rpm and develops an ideal 502 hp with 346 The small matter of four cylinders, an entire market segment and some £76k separates Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica from Porsche’s 911 GT3 (or £122k with our ‘as tested’ options). What they zVw59d. With the imminent release of the latest versions of the GT3 RS, the usual questions surface: how does it compare to the “plain” GT3, what does one get for the extra $45,000 and is it worth it? First, A Few Straightforward Comparisons Porsche 911 GT3 vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS specifications What The Statistic Don’t Tell You Power: From a technical standpoint, the major difference between the two cars is their engines. The RS version is packing a liter flat six pumping out 25 more horsepower and 13 more ft/lbs of torque than the “plain” GT3. Does that really make that much of a difference? For driving tours and trips to the opera, no. Do you participate in Track Days? Do you care if you’re fastest off the corners and onto the straights? If you do, then it’s worth it. Aerodynamics and general body appearance: The “plain” GT3 already looks pretty racy but has cleaner lines than its RS sibling. The RS version is far more aggressive due to its larger, rear wing, wider body, and numerous scoops and outlets. The car is designed for going harder and longer, which generates more heat. Generating more power and demanding more from brakes requires more air to both engine and brakes. But then that air has to go somewhere. On a normal street car air flow, for the most part, just stays under the car and since downforce/lift isn’t as important, that’s OK. For race-cars, and more serious track-day cars, managing that air can add dramatically to performance and the health of the overall system. Most notable on the latest version of the RS are the very large outlets on the front fenders. Porsche claim that letting all that air out improves downforce and cooling considerably. It also looks pretty cool when you attend Cars and Coffee. Overall Performance: A couple sets of interesting numbers are those of the cars’ heights and their top speeds. Porsche shows the RS as being almost an inch taller and its top speed 2mph slower. Both numbers have meaning. The RS is taller because its rear tires are taller and wider. Presumably, its top speed is slightly slower because of the combined height and width of those big tires. I suppose if you’re at the drag strip, the “plain” GT3 would be the better car. For the track, go with the RS. The bigger tires and more aggressive aerodynamics will mean overall better grip and cornering, even if you give up some top speed. Still no manual: After the last generation of GT3s, it was rumored that this one might reintroduce the manual transmission for those of us who still like to stab the clutch and wiggle the gear-shift lever. But no, Porsche had retained the PDK “option” only. Two reasons: first, as much as everyone says they want manual, buyers overwhelmingly voted in favor of PDK; two, as much fun as the clutch stabbing and lever wiggling are, a well-driven PDK is significantly faster in all track conditions. Important to remember: these are ego cars and ego drivers are not willing to get passed on track just so they can do the stabbing/wiggling thing. Other cool stuff: The RS apparently has a “pit” button, similar to those on real race cars for controlling the speed in the pit lane. It also has track-driven options for racing-type seats, a roll-cage, battery disconnect, fire-extinguisher mount and six-point restraint systems. The Porsche GT3 is designed for occasional use on the race track while the Porsche GT 3 RS is designed for occasional use on the road. Which one for you? I’ve always been of the opinion that when you reach these levels of spending, there are no considerations of dollars. You just get what you want. If you just want a great street car that’s also great on the track, then it’s the GT3. If you want to be the fastest at your local track day and have the baddest looking ride at Cars and Coffee, then it’s the RS. Or maybe you get both…. You’re more than likely going to drive your Macan to work anyway. If you want to see even more of the nuances and differences between these two models, Porsche’s own web-site has an excellent comparison tool. Once you go to Porsche’s website, simply roll your mouse over the model you’re interested in and click “compare”.

Home News Porsche 911 Drag Race: 991 GT2 RS Vs. 992 Turbo S Nov. 24, 2020 3:11 PM ET Video This is closer than you may expect. When it comes to the Porsche 911, you can't make a bad decision. All of them are powerful and, more importantly, handle beautifully, but seeing how they compare in a drag race is always interesting. The scenario in the video below sees the latest 911 Turbo S go up against the previous generation's insane GT2 RS. Although from the same family, these cars are very 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 benefit of all-wheel-drive, and with conditions looking damp, the lesser-powered Porsche should be in with a shot here. 888MF/YouTube 888MF/YouTube 888MF/YouTube Out of the gate, the rear-wheel-drive GT2 RS is still astonishing. When Porsche claimed a 0-60 mph sprint time of seconds in a car with 700 hp, it seemed insane that such a thing could be achieved by powering just one axle, but even in the wet, the more powerful car quickly asserts its dominance. As always, however, power is nothing without control. With a different driver behind the wheel, the AWD Turbo S is able to pull ahead and stay there, and it takes another attempt for the GT2 RS to reclaim its position on top, which just goes to show that anything can happen in a race. Porsche Porsche Despite the overall loss, the 911 Turbo S is an incredibly satisfying machine that can decimate lap records. It's pretty impressive if you find an unrestricted piece of tarmac to fully exploit its engine on too, so we doubt that this video will cause any sleepless nights for those who already own one. Still, there's no getting away from the fact that the GT2 RS is on another level. While we have seen it on a winding circuit on numerous occasions, this video just makes us respect the road-legal racer even more. Even in the rain and even away from its comfort zone, the GT2 RS is an animal. We can't wait for the next one. Porsche Porsche There are a lot of variations of the Porsche 911, so today we’re going to pitch a few of them against each other to see which is fastest. First up, we have the latest Porsche 911 Turbo S. It has a twin-turbocharged flat-six with 650hp and 800Nm of torque. It also has all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It’s quite heavy, weighing in at 1,640kg. Next up, we have the oldest car here. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS also has a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, but here it produces 700hp and 750Nm of torque. This goes to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and thanks to its lack of all-wheel-drive it tips the scales at 1,470kg. Finally, we have the Porsche 911 GT3. It produces 510hp and 470Nm of torque from its naturally aspirated flat-six engine. It has a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and RWD, plus it’s the lightest car here at 1,435kg. So which will prove to be the ultimate Porsche 911? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
