    New Porsche 911 991.2 GT3 RS Revealed

    At long last we get to see the 991.2 GT3 RS which forms the basis of the German car maker’s extensive GT-based motorsport activities.

    Public debut will happen in Geneva in March and this is what you need to know about the 2018 model year GT3 RS.

    • 15 kW (20 hp) bump in power to 383 kW (512 hp)
    • Lightly modified version of Porsche Motorsport’s race-bred 4.0-litre six-cylinder
    • Highest power figure yet for a naturally aspirated road-going Porsche
    • Continues to rev to a maximum 9000rpm
    • Comes mated to a standard seven-speed dual clutch gearbox
    • 0 to 100 km/h sprint reduced by 0.1 sec to 3.2 seconds
    • Top speed increased by 2 km/h to 312 km/h
    • Re-calibrated rear wheel steering system
    • Launch colour known as Lizard Green

    Visually his mid-life facelift can be distinguished thanks to some subtle styling and aerodynamic changes.

    They include new LED indicator lamps set within a re-profiled front bumper featuring new vertical air flow guides within the outer air ducts to more efficiently channel air to the front mounted radiators and brakes.

    Further back, the new 911 GT3 RS receives two new NACA style ducts within the bonnet and additional air-flow guides for the ducts within the rear fenders. At the rear, there are more heavily structured taillamps, a new bumper with larger air extraction ducts and modified supports for the rear wing, which feature newly shaped end plates.

    Inside, there are carbon backed racing seats, lightweight door panels with storage nets and nylon opening loops. Weight optimisation measures include a reduction in sound absorption material and a new lightweight engine lid.  

    As with all of Porsche’s existing GT models, the 911 GT3 RS is sold with an optional Clubsport package. It consists of an aluminium roll cage, fire extinguishers and six-point seat belts.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
