Because of Federal U.S. mandates, the most hardcore, naturally aspirated 996 wasn't available to American 911 enthusiasts

The 996 GT3 RS went on an extensive diet to save weight, but a lot more was changed from the regular 996 GT3

The GT3 RS features more downforce, less weight, and completely different suspension, compared to the regular 911 GT3

The 996 generation is the last 911 GT3 RS to weigh under 3,000 pounds

With a 0 to 60 mph time of around 4.0 seconds, the 996 GT3 RS puts even modern performance cars to shame

The last analog 911 GT3 RS. No ABS, no ESC, no traction control

All Porsche 996 GT3 RS models feature unique red or blue graphics, inspired by classic 911 models like the Carrera 2.7 RS

The 3.6-liter M96 engine in the GT3 RS was, reportedly underrated at 376 hp at 7,400 RPM

Some say the Porsche 996 GT3 RS' M96.79 flat-6 engine makes closer to 400 horsepower

Even with the aggressive aero, the Porsche 996 GT3 RS is capable of 190 mph

In true tradition, power goes to the rear through a 6-speed manual transmission

Between 2003 and 2004, just 682 examples of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS were built

The average 996 GT3 RS, currently, costs about the same as a 2024 992 GT3 RS. Hardly a performance car bargain

You will have to wait until 2028 to legally import the Porsche 996 GT3 RS into the U.S.

The Mezger engine offers legendary durability and strong performance

Distinctive "fried egg" headlights set it apart
