2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS / Start-Up, In-Depth Walkaround Exterior and Interior

2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Walkaround.

The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Is a Rabid Yet Tamable Performance Machine

When we drove the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Germany last year, we were kept off public roads. You see, to legally drive any car in Germany between November 1 and April 15 means fitting winter tires. Now, a GT3 RS on snow shoes does sound like the right kind of ice racing, but in hopes that we’d properly lick the performance envelope, Porsche kept our behind-the-wheel time to laps on the Nürburgring Formula 1 track. In that environment, the most race-car-like Porsche that breathes in the atmosphere is everything you’d hope it’d be. The 520-hp flat-six howls like Allen Ginsberg at 9000 rpm. Its electrically assisted power steering is perfectly reactive for diving toward apexes as the wings push you deep toward the Earth’s mantle. The wider-is-grippier chassis, borrowed from the 700-hp GT2 RS, holds on like it cares about you. And Porsche’s dual-clutch automatic is like having Hurley Haywood choosing the gears as it perfectly anticipates your every move on the track and always finds itself in the right one of its seven forward ratios.

Porsche certainly could have held the drive program outside Germany, which made us suspect that maybe its PR department didn’t want us to drive the RS on the street. Perhaps it was too loud or too harsh or too extreme for the world outside the racetrack: more Dodge Viper ACR than Porsche 911. And then the phone rang with the offer to drive a GT3 RS in Southern California. So, in the interest of science and being thorough—and offering relevant consumer advice to shoppers in the $200K sports-car segment—we agreed to a week with a $208,717 GT3 RS.
