Overview
The 2025 992.1 GT3 RS is the no-compromise, track-honed version of Porsche’s iconic 911, blending blistering naturally aspirated performance with advanced aerodynamics and racing-derived tech. Under the rear deck sits a 4.0-liter flat-six that revs to 9,000 rpm, delivering 525 PS (≈518 hp) and a visceral, high-strung character. Porsche has further refined the chassis and suspension, including semi-active coilovers (especially with the Manthey kit) and substantial downforce thanks to a reworked front splitter and swan-neck rear wing.
Interior
Stepping inside, the GT3 RS is unapologetically driver-focused: carbon-fiber bucket seats are standard, often paired with six-point harnesses when you opt for the Clubsport configuration. The steering wheel gives quick access to differential and aero settings, including a drag-reduction system (DRS) button — straight from motorsport.
For instrumentation, Porsche blends old and new: there’s an analogue tachometer at the centre, flanked by digital readouts for speed, lap times, and other critical metrics. Materials are lightweight but premium: Race-Tex, carbon weave, and leather combine to deliver both durability and a refined, purposeful feel befitting a car that is equally at home on track and road.

What really sets the GT3 RS interior apart is how seamlessly it turns the cabin into a command centre for high-performance driving. Every control surface has a deliberate tactility — from the click of the drive-mode dials on the steering wheel to the firm, mechanical action of the paddle shifters — reinforcing the sense that nothing inside the RS is ornamental. Even the reduced sound insulation, which lets more engine and induction noise into the cockpit, feels intentional: Porsche wants the driver to hear the flat-six breathing and the aero working as the speed climbs. It’s an interior that strips away distraction and celebrates the raw experience of driving, without ever feeling cheap or unfinished.
Exterior
The GT3 RS wears purpose like armor — its front bumper features aggressive air intakes and dive planes that channel airflow to cool brakes and generate front downforce. At the rear, a massive swan-neck wing and a widened diffuser dominate, not just for show but to press the car into the tarmac at high speeds, enhancing stability through fast corners.
Weight-savings materials are everywhere: many versions deploy carbon-fiber for the hood, roof, and even door mirrors (especially in the Weissach package), lowering center of gravity and improving responsiveness. Finally, the exhaust sits centrally in a sporty dual-pipe layout, and aero fins under the underbody help regulate airflow, underscoring its track-first design philosophy.
Specs
In fully-loaded trim, the 992.1 GT3 RS can be equipped with the Weissach Package, which swaps in carbon-fiber panels for the roof, front lid, and mirror caps while also offering magnesium wheels for significant weight savings. Add-in the Manthey Performance Kit, and you get even more downforce (over 2,200 lbs at high speed), semi-active racing-tuned suspension, and upgraded carbon-ceramic brakes — turning the RS into a near-purebred circuit weapon.

Summary
The 2025 Porsche 992.1 GT3 RS is a breathtaking blend of race-car aerodynamics, high-revving naturally aspirated performance, and precision engineering, making it one of the most focused 911s ever built. While its track-first setup, stiff ride, and premium pricing limit everyday usability, the sheer intensity, feedback, and capability it delivers are unmatched — a true pinnacle for purist drivers and circuit enthusiasts alike.

Based on our extensive experience with this vehicle both on track and on the public road.
The Good
Good: The 992.1 GT3 RS is a masterpiece of natural aspiration, revving freely to 9,000 rpm while delivering razor-sharp handling and genuine track capability, all wrapped in a beautifully executed aerodynamic package. Its weight-saving options and precision-tuned suspension make it phenomenally agile and rewarding, especially for purists who want a real driver's car.
The Bad
Bad: Such performance comes at a cost — not just in price (especially with Weissach or Manthey options) but also in practicality: fuel consumption is very high, and the stiff ride plus hard buckets make it less comfortable for daily driving or long journeys.
