Undoubtedly, its masterful engineering makes the vehicle one of the world&#8217;s best driver\u2019s cars. It\u2019s powered by a glorious, naturally aspirated engine in the age of electrification and turbochargers \u2013 a plus point for me. The 4.0-liter flat-six engine planted on the rear produces 518 hp and 346 lb-ft, connected to a lightning-fast seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox and good enough to do 0-60 mph in only 2.7 seconds!<\/p>\n<p>Although those numbers seem pretty decent, at least for me, it wasn\u2019t enough for Porsche back then. The original plan was to fit the 992-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/tag\/911\/\">911<\/a> GT3 RS with a 4.2-liter engine from the GT3 R race car. Unfortunately, such a setup would simply not have met emission standards. As a result, the manufacturer had to make up with being lighter and as agile as possible. It has tons of aero bits (e.g., the huge wing with a DRS feature), suspensions with individual compression and rebound adjustment, three-stage stability control, eight-stage traction control; you name it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66821 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-8b.jpg\" alt=\"The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is Overrated\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-8b.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-8b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-8b-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-8b-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/675;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no hiding how over-engineered the 911 GT3 RS is; all this just to make the vehicle great on the track \u2014 and it does! The vehicle provides immense grip with unfiltered feedback. Those little engine vibrations, huge g-force, and the glorious 9,000rpm flat-six melody make the vehicle so special in the eyes of enthusiasts. Not to mention, it does run the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife in only 6 minutes and 49.3 seconds \u2013 eight seconds faster than the Porsche 918 hypercar. Indeed, it\u2019s another wonderful piece of German engineering.<\/p>\n<p>However, the problem comes with its overblown popularity, with many over-glorifying the new 911 GT3 RS on social media platforms. They act like this vehicle is the best thing since sliced bread \u2014 quite similar to the MK4 Toyota <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/toyota-supra-may-come-with-manual-transmission\" title=\"Toyota Supra May Finally Come with a Manual Transmission\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"920\">Supra<\/a> phenomenon, in fact. Remember when people started saying a Supra is better than a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/category\/news\/news-by-brand\/bugatti\" title=\"Bugatti\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"919\">Bugatti<\/a>? Yeah, that kind of people now worship the new 911 GT3 RS.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I\u2019m not saying the 911 GT3 RS is a bad car; it\u2019s a great track toy, no doubt. But everything isn\u2019t supposed to be only about fast laps all the time. There are still some other factors that make a car great. Take the Alpine A110 for an example; it is not the fastest, most powerful, or lightest car out there. But it is still a great sports car with a non-threatening driving feel. The balanced power-to-weight ratio makes it enjoyable to drive on a day-to-day basis too.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66822 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-58.jpg\" alt=\"The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is Overrated\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-58.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-58-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-58-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Porsche-911_GT3_RS-2023-1600-58-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/675;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone wants a hard-riding, track-focused vehicle. Some even think such a configuration would be rather pointless on the road \u2014 and I would agree. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS provides a raw driving feel with fast cornering speed that may not be that fun at all day in and day out.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is a sports car doesn\u2019t need to be the fastest around the N\u00fcrburgring to be great. A sports car should be good enough to put a smile on the driver&#8217;s face without requiring a professional track license. It might be time to take a step back, stop the perpetual race towards the fastest car ever, and bring back sports cars that are truly fun to drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why the track monster isn&#8217;t actually worth all the hype.
