"RS stands for “rennsport” in German which translates to “racing sport”. The differences between the 911 GT3 RS and the GT3 are slight but the RS model provides the closest thing available to an actual cup car. Some carbon-fiber components, such as the hood and rear wing, and lighter glass give the RS a lift in the weight category and the 1.7-inch wider rear-end give it increased directional stability and better lateral grip. The gear ratios are slightly shorter for blasting out of corners and optimizing the 8,400 RPM redline. The beautiful and powerful resonance of this engine communicates with the driver from low RPM growl to a wailing roar at peak. While the RS only delivers the same horsepower than the GT3, the way it is transferred to the pavement will result is quicker lap times and shave increments off the car’s quarter-mile stats."—forzamotorsport.net[1]
The 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997) is a rear-engined supercar that appears in the September Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 2, in Forza Motorsport 3 as VIP membership content and in the Porsche Expansion Pack for Forza Motorsport 4.
The 997 GT3 RS is the second generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a lighter and more track-oriented model variant to the 911 GT3. Designed to homologate the GT3-RSR racing car, the GT3 RS comes with racing modifications, widened rear fenders for a wider rear track and a carbon-fiber rear wing. In 2015, the 991 GT3 RS was introduced to succeed the 997 GT3 RS and the latter's 4.0 liter variant, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0.
Synopsis[]
The 997 GT3 RS is 20 kg (44 lb) lighter than the 997 GT3, weighing in at 1,370 kg (3,020 lb). This weight-saving was achieved by the use of an adjustable carbon plastic wing, a steel engine cover, and a lightweight plastic windscreen. The weight savings gives the 997 GT3 RS corresponding engine power to curb weight ratio of 300 bhp (220 kW) per tonne.
