IAA 2009: Porsche 997 GT3 RS Facelift

Porsche 997 GT3 RS Facelift

A month after the official release of the Porsche GT3 RS facelift we’ve had a chance to take a closer look.

The 3.8 liter replaces the 3.6 liter engine in the previous GT3 RS, it’s not only more powerful but lighter at the same time this results in better performance and handling. Compared to the bright colored pre-facelift GT3 RS’s, the facelift has bright colored details throughout the interior and exterior of the car. Seeing the first impressions of the car a month ago we were not to sure about the new colors but the grey with red works out quite well in the real world.
