Porsche 911

2025 PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS (992) — JAPANESE MARKET SPECIFICATION

Engine and Drivetrain

The 911 GT3 RS uses a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre horizontally opposed six-cylinder petrol engine of 3,996 cc, mounted behind the rear axle in the classic 911 layout. It runs a 13.3:1 compression ratio, direct fuel injection and individual throttle bodies, and is rated by Porsche at 386 kW (525 PS) at 8,500 rpm with 465 Nm at 6,300 rpm. The rev limit is 9,000 rpm. Drive reaches the rear wheels only, through a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission with GT-specific shorter gearing, a mechanical locking rear differential and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus. Japan requires premium unleaded fuel. Porsche quotes 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 296 km/h; the car in this listing additionally carries the Sport Chrono package and the sports exhaust system.

Chassis, Steering and Brakes

Double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear axle are both managed by Porsche Active Suspension Management in a GT3 RS-specific tune, with rear-axle steering and ball-jointed suspension links throughout. The dampers are separately adjustable for compression and rebound, front and rear, from the steering-wheel rotary controls. Steering is electromechanically assisted. This car is fitted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake system: 410 mm cross-drilled ventilated ceramic discs with six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers at the front and 390 mm ceramic discs with four-piston calipers at the rear. The front-axle lift system is also fitted, raising the nose to clear kerbs and ramps. Wheels are centre-lock forged lightweight items in black, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear, shod with 275/35 ZR20 and 335/30 ZR21 tyres.

Aerodynamics and Performance

The GT3 RS carries the most extensive aerodynamic package of any road-going 911. The engine radiator is relocated to the nose in a single central unit, freeing the front wheel-arch space for through-flow ducts, and the resulting body is 1,915 mm wide with louvred front fenders. The rear wing is mounted on swan-neck supports and its upper element stands above the roofline; both the wing's upper element and the front underbody flaps are continuously adjustable and form part of an active system with a Drag Reduction System position that stalls the wing on the straights.

Dimensions and Capacities

Japanese catalogue dimensions are 4,575 mm long, 1,915 mm wide and 1,320 mm tall on a 2,457 mm wheelbase, with a Japanese-measured kerb weight of 1,525 kg and a minimum turning radius of 5.3 m. The front luggage compartment holds 132 litres and the fuel tank 64 litres. Seating is for two.

Exterior

Carbon-fibre reinforced plastic is used for the bonnet, front fenders, roof and doors, and the car uses lightweight glass. Lighting is by LED headlights with the adaptive Porsche Dynamic Light System. This car is not equipped with the automatic high-beam function or the surround-view camera system. The body on this car is finished in Arctic Grey, Porsche's solid cool-grey GT colour, with GT3 RS model lettering on the flanks.

Interior and Seating

The cabin is a strict two-seater, trimmed in black Race-Tex and partial leather with silver contrast stitching, and this car carries the carbon interior package. The seats are 18-way electrically adjustable sports seats rather than the standard fixed-back buckets, with seat heating. A Race-Tex GT steering wheel with a yellow twelve-o'clock marker carries the four rotary controllers for drive mode, damper compression, damper rebound and differential. Air conditioning is fitted.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Porsche Communication Management drives a central touchscreen with factory navigation and smartphone/external music player connectivity, together with a reversing camera, ETC toll transponder and the optional BOSE Surround Sound system. The instrument cluster runs the GT-specific display set including a track screen that reduces the readout to the rev counter and shift lights.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Porsche Stability Management, ABS, Porsche Traction Management, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus and a tyre pressure monitoring system are standard. This car is additionally equipped with cruise control, parking distance sensors and a reversing camera. Passive protection comprises full-size front airbags, side airbags and the Porsche Side Impact Protection system. Porsche does not publish an NCAP or NHTSA crash rating for the 911 GT3 RS.
