The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a high-performance sports car built by Porsche since 2003. It is often confused with the non-roadlegal racecar Porsche 911 GT3-RS of 2001 and later, which was based on the Porsche 911 GT3-R of 2000.The RS (Rennsport, or "Racing Sport") is mainly a carryover of the Porsche 911 GT3, albeit it is lighter thanks to a polycarbonate rear window, carbon fiber hood and rear wing. Porsche ceramic composite brakes, which are also more heat and fade resistant than the iron units fitted as standard, are optional. Mechanically the two cars are identical, and share the same horsepower, and 3.6 litre flat-six engine.The Porsche 997 version of the GT3 RS was released in Europe in October 2006 and in North America in February 2007. It will keep the "GT3 RS" side sticker and the special colored wheels; this time, however, instead of white with either blue or red accents, they will be available in black or arctic silver metallic (both with some orange details like decorative stripe, outside mirrors, rear wing endplates, wheels and roll cage). They will be also available in green or orange (with details in black), or white (without accents, although they can be specified in any color the buyer desires).A new feature that the RS will employ over the regular GT3 will be the adoption of the 44 mm (1.7 in) wider (at the rear) body of the Carrera 4 models. As a result, rear track width increases. A re-designed rear wheel carrier to allow for a greater adjustability and a single-mass, light weight flywheel also differ from the standard 997 GT3.The factory claims a top speed of 193 mph (311 km/h) and a 0-60 time of about 4 seconds using a 415 hp (309 kW) engine.
