GT3 RS

There are always a few that want the instant gratification, but I believe this generally goes away after a few months as production continues

 

Looks like an engine fire in a new RS:

I understand this is somewhat of an issue, but Porsche Ag will resolve this as always.

 

weren't the 430s catching fire? Or was that the 458?

 

458's from the glue they used in the rear.

More photos of GT3RS on fire, Hope it is not the same issue as the GT3 cars.

From the article:

More fuel for the bullet-proof Mezger-engined era.

Was at the 24 hours of Zolder this weekend and chatted to Porsche. Seems a recall is on the horizon to resolve the issue.

I just read the article on the 991 GT3RS from Exce11ence #231. Two points three points went beyond the usual "best 911 ever", "PDK is here to stay" barrage:

-- This RS has a more supple ride at low speeds than its GT3 sibling.

-- After it's cast, the crankshaft is melted again and allowed to cure a second time. Expensive, but the structural advantages are said to be worth it.

-- Porsche went through sixty development cars to perfect these two.

I'll never understand why these masterfully honed performance cars need to be offered on a limited basis.

 

Very interesting info, I haven't read this article yet, thanks for sharing.

Much nicer than the other one, which has already been compromised by stickers and a set of aftermarket wheels of subjective taste.
