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 Supra phenomenon, in fact. Remember when people started saying a Supra is better than a Bugatti? 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.
