GT3 RS

Porsche Malaysia introduces the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS: a true masterpiece of automotive engineering. With a sleek design, advanced racing technology, and unparalleled power, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a dominant force on the road and the track that joins the 911 lineup here in Malaysia.

The 2022 launch of the GT3 RS brought forth a marvel where the aerodynamics of this 911 street car surpasses even those of the GT3 R race car.

What’s more interesting is that at the heart of the substantial performance enhancement lies the innovative concept of a central radiator – a concept initially introduced in the Le Mans class-winning 911 RSR and later adopted by the 911 GT3 R. Departing from the conventional three-radiator setup of its predecessors, the latest 911 GT3 RS implements a sizeable, angled centre radiator situated in the front of the vehicle, occupying the space typically designated for luggage in other 911 models. This ingenious modification has not only liberated side space but has also facilitated the integration of dynamic aerodynamic components.

Aerodynamics

Speaking of aerodynamics, the new 911 GT3 RS showcases numerous functional aerodynamic components in its design. A notable highlight is the swan-neck-mounted rear wing, larger than before, consisting of a fixed main part and an adjustable upper element. Notably, the wing’s upper edge surpasses the car’s roof height for the first time in Porsche’s production vehicles. The car’s front no longer includes a traditional front spoiler, replaced by a dividing front splitter that manages airflow over and under the vehicle. Sideblades efficiently direct air outward, while front wheel arches are ventilated through louvered openings in the front wings.
