At the limit, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has been sighted again at the Nürburgring, culminating its most intensive and demanding testing program. Spy shots showing this wild version of the sports car icon just days away from its world debut.
Keep quiet, but Porsche has an important ace up its sleeve for the next edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will open its doors in a few weeks. The German firm plans to bring to the British event the new Porsche 911 GT3RS 2023 that, at the moment, rolls in the circuit of Nurburgring completing its demanding test program, also hunted in the surroundings of the German track, on one of the usual, and quieter, test routes.
The new beast of the 911 range of this generation 992 powerfully draws attention due to its spectacular design, a clear indication that what it hides under its entrails is an example of Porsche’s experience in competition and, although it will be homologated for street, the circuits will be their most natural habitat to offer driving sensations not suitable for the faint of heart and only for those who can afford one of the available units. The brand has not removed the camouflage that can be seen on the front bumper, much less has it uncovered the gills on the wheel arches, as you can see in these spy photos.
The development of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2023 comes to an end
And, of course, neither the rear bumper that continues to hide the final design of the production model, it only reveals what is practically impossible to camouflage: the iimposing rear diffuser or the exhaust system with two turbos in the center. Because the brutal fixed spoiler that rises very generously on two large masts is, which means that it is Made of lightweight carbon fiber-like materials. An essential element to achieve a great aerodynamic load, to which are added the forged alloy wheels with central locking nut.
The images also show a roll cage in the rear seats, being able to see the tubular structure through the rear windows. Equipment that Porsche will offer as an optional for the most sophisticated. What we also know is that, in almost all likelihood, these are the last spy photos we’ll see, as the manufacturer intends the 911 GT3 RS to be one of the great novelties at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
An ideal event, especially if we take into account the more than two years in development, and where it will demonstrate its qualities. The wild 911 GT3 RS will surely set a new record to add to the showcases of the German brand, thanks to its special chassis configuration to give free rein to the 550 hp maximum power that the six-cylinder boxer and 4.0-liter engine will perform, taking them to the asphalt through the rear wheels and the seven-speed PDK automatic gearbox. Doubts will dissipate as of June 23.
