911 (996) GT3 RS, 2003: The first of its kind
After the 911 GT1 – the series-production version of the Le Mans winner of 1998 – and the 911 GT2, in 1999 Porsche introduced a model that was set to revolutionise the future of motorsport: The 911 GT3 based on the 996 model line triggered a flood of comparable GT models that make for great diversity on today's race track. In 2003, with the first 911 GT3 RS, Porsche took things to the next level. This model used the high-rev 3.6-litre flat engine from the 911 GT3, now with an output of 381 hp, and was available exclusively with a white roll cage. All the exterior lettering was kept in blue or red, in tribute to the famous predecessor. There were also additional components from the later racing version, such as a front apron with integrated ventilation slits, an optimised chassis geometry with special wheel mounts and split wishbones on the front and rear axle, a single-mass flywheel, and targeted measures to ensure lightweight construction: The rear window was made from polycarbonate, and the bonnet and the rear wing from carbon fibre. At 1,360 kilograms, the fully fuelled 911 GT3 RS was a further 50 kilograms lighter than the GT3 Clubsport version. Driving performance was equally impressive: It sprinted from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, and had a top speed of 308 km/h.
