If you happen to pass on the automotive aficionado genes, one of the things you'll have to explain to your children is that a surprising number of the world's 991 Porsche 911 GT3 RS PDKs have been taken down the tuning route.
With a few exceptions, we have to admit these track-savvy Neunelfers use a lightweight customization approach. Let's take the rear-engine coupe in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, for example.
First of all, shade of Blue this Zuffenhausen machine is dressed in, which makes it look like a tastefully restrained smurf, comes from Porsche Exclusive's Paint-to-Sample catalog.
Then again, we're here to talk about aftermarket matters, which is why we'll move on to the custom exhaust system fitted to the car.
The Rennsport machine has been gifted with an Akrapovic Sports Cup exhaust system - we have to explain this is the second step in the aftermarket developer's four-level GT3 RS exhaust scheme.
The system obviously brings a hp and torque premium, but you'll have to keep in mind that the increase is delivered somewhere close to 4,000 rpm, not at the top end.
Given the titanium construction of the hardware, this also saves weight compared to the standard exhaust, if we may call the system on the GT3 RS that.
Let's face it, though - most owners go for such mods thanks to the aural enhancement they bring. And we're here to offer you a good sample of this 911's retouched voice, with the pair of clips below providing just that - the 4.0-liter flat-six aural treat is waiting for you.
P.S.: As for the exceptions mentioned in the second paragraph, here's a 911 GT3 RS owner who gave his car a full respray, along with a pair of hefty subwoofers. Oh, and let's not forget the WWII Shark Teeth Fighter-themed GT3 RS with a custom track setup involving 19-inch wheels.
