Evo Magazine’s Henry Catchpole has become the latest
journalist to jump behind the wheel of the 2016Porsche 911 GT3 RS after taking it to the Bilster
Berg racetrack and around some stunning country roads. As with Chris Harris,
Catchpole was understandably impressed by the latest and greatest German sports
car.
The 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS of course uses a brand new
4.0-litre six-cylinder engine which remains naturally aspirated. It has been
tuned to deliver 493 hp (the same as the 997 GT3 RS 4.0) but now delivers 384
lb-ft of torque which is 15 lb-ft more than the GT3 RS 4.0. Additionally, these
figures represent a 25 hp and 60 lb-ft increase over the current 911 GT3.
As always, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS features rear wheel
drive and the aforementioned six-cylinder engine is coupled to a seven-speed
dual-clutch PDK transmission. As a result, the German sports car will
accelerate to 100 km/h in a mere 3.3 seconds and crack the 200 km/h mark in
just 10.9 seconds. By comparison, the old 911 GT3 RS needed 3.9 seconds to hit
100 km/h.
