Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Folks, the story is out. There are no surprises as to why these RS models will always be coveted 911s. They consistently land in many Porsche enthusiasts’ top-five 911 driving experiences, and for good reason. It’s a true homologated road and track animal.
Anyone fortunate enough to drive and own an RS of any vintage is a believer in Porsche. Throughout the decades beginning with 1973 the RS models have always been Porsche’s best, and purest performance models. They represented Porsche’s efforts to take back with winner’s platforms from Fords and BMWs when development money inside Porsche was very tight. When CEO Ernst Fuhrman explained to his engineers that at a race at Hockenheim he saw those other makes passing Porsches in the corners, he simply asked them what they were going to do about it. They engineered solutions and designed modest front and trend-setting rear spoilers and gave it to the market. They turned a comfortable touring car in to a purpose-built sports car.
