The 992 is to the 991 as the 997 is to the 996—basically, a heavy update of the preceding generation The GT3 is faster through the corners and can brake later, but the Turbo is much quicker out of the corner and down the straightsso the car with the overall edge will depend on the track. Worth noting that most official Turbo lap times are set with street tires while the GT3 is timed with streetable track tires (as factory equipment). 2008 Porsche 911 GT2.

The cacophonous 911 GT3 RS is rewarding on road and track. The RXC’s tour of incongruous locations continues. The RXC comes with a cupholder. Radical, indeed. The Ford GT is longer than an Audi O155. I had the opportunity to drive both cars on the same day at Atlanta Motorsports Park. To me, the first big difference was power. It was very clear that the Turbo S offered much more torque due to the turbo itself. BUT, the GT3 RS was absolutely planted through the turns. I’m told that the GT3 RS can create upwards of 700 lbs. of downforce and I believe it! The cornering capabilities of the GT3 RS were noticeably superior to the Turbo S. Porsche has created two impeccable machines and both are a pleasure to drive. If someone were to ask me which car is faster “around the track?” I would give the GT3 RS the slight edge because of the downforce in the corners. If someone were to ask me which car is faster “in a straight line?” Bye bye GT3 RS, The Turbo S is hands down faster. Lesson of the day: If you’re driving down the road in your quarter million dollar Porsche 911/GT3 RS and you come up to a red light next to another Porsche. Make sure it’s not a 911/Turbo S before you take off, because if it is you’ll get smoked! 2017 Porsche 911 Split Personality: Turbo S vs. GT3 RS Porsche’s absolute peak of its 911 line is a Jekyll and Hyde story for the modern age. Both models are born from the same DNA, but one pampers its driver into overconfidence while the other shames them into submission. But which is more worth its barely under $200k sticker price? That ruling depends on your habits and preferences as a driver as well as your penchant for punishment. So let’s see how each model stacks up to decide which side of Jekyll/Hyde you prefer. Porsche 911 Turbo S: The Consummate Coddling Coupé At 3,563 lbs and stuffed to the gills with every electronic nanny imaginable, the 580 hp 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S is the absolute peak of what some define an exotic performance car to be. Put simply, all those gadgets tucked in neatly underneath gorgeous, curvaceous sheet metal can make you one hell of a driver. No, it won’t keep you from burning out the clutch on your brother-in-law’s manual farm truck or suddenly teach you how to exit a turn without nuzzling the wall, but what it will do is give you grip when and where you need it. And lots of it. The PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system continually re-vectors torque thousands of times throughout a turn to attain neutral handling in a stunning variety of situations. Turns that would normally result in catastrophic understeer can be navigated like a maître d dodges incoming busboys. When you turn a bit too aggressively and initiate what would have normally been a slide, PTM kicks in alongside an electronic locking differential to make the back wheels do the steering for you. But having an electronic guardian angel over your shoulder can easily cultivate bad habits and lead to overconfidence. Suddenly, you could get a bit too happy with the wheel and direct it towards the nearest retaining wall, with which the 911 Turbo S might happily comply. So, you should feel no shame in enjoying being pampered by the Turbo, but don’t let it spoil you into becoming a less attentive driver. Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Ferocious, Feral and Fun The 911 GT3 RS is the polar opposite approach to modifying the Carrera compared to the Turbo S. Strip out most of the nannies, take the stereo and sound-deadening with you, and strap in the closest engine you’ll get to a cup car, and you have a monstrously powerful 500 hp beast. Too powerful? Perhaps. Fun? You bet your sweet tush! Porsche’s GT3 RS is the answer to all the complainers who whine about the death of analog driving. While it still retains systems like Porsche’s insanely advanced dual-clutch seven-speed PDK transmission, it refuses to play backseat driver to your shenanigans. Want to slide the whole rear end through a hairpin? Be its guest — if you can make it all the way through. This “make you smoke every cigarette in the pack” approach to punishment can lead to some gleeful moments but also some downright terrifying ones. The fact that the steering wheel unabashedly transmits every bit of road feedback only adds to the rodeo-like feeling. But when you master it, thar be bliss in them turns. A hyper rigid frame and all that dieting pair sublimely with the smooth-locking rear differential to make the vehicle an extension of your body rather than an insulator against your poorest decisions. Snap too hard off the brakes on an exit, for instance, and the nose lurches upwards, diminishing your control and grip until you guide it back down. In the end, the GT3 RS is the most car you can have on the track that can legally sport a license plate on its rump. Take care of the beast, and it will take care of you — but don’t think you can take your eyes off it for a second.

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.

Since you need help choosing from two of the most expensive and exclusive models, I'm going to assume this is more of an image thing or a dream for you than outright performance requirement. My vote is for the Turbo S, even though you don't seem to fully understand why it is the top of the entire 911 line. It's more than a drag car, full on S is way easier to live with everyday and can be a daily driver. Also way cheaper to run as you don't sweat the resale milage as much. It's a more capable car depending on what configuration you get. Also gets just the right amount of attention so you can park it anywhere and not also get backseats with the turbo, which do come in handy. It's quieter by default and there's a cabriolet option as well so you can really go in style (passengers love the cab). Decimates anything else on sale under 400k and can be tuned to the professional drivers, both cars turn the same lap times. The turbo S will be faster for the everyman. I'm not convinced all GT owners can even back up that car's racing pedigree with the technique required. There's very little room for modesty when your car has stickers and wings all over my mind GT3RS is really for sitting around in carshows or on track running laps with semi-professional drivers. I know Porsche's intention is "race car for the road" but in my taste It's still too flashy "boy racer" to drive on the street (unless it's on the way to a track) and belongs on a - if you have to ask which car, you are not ready for the GT3RS. Get the Turbo S until your desire to go racing and abundant driving technique support getting into the GT - since you are literally a child, why not dream bigger and shoot for a 918 Spyder? Better yet just settle for a regular old Carrera that most people working their entire lives still can't afford.
