With Porsche bombarding us with more and more incarnations of the 911, it’s easy to forget the Neunelfer is also one of the most tuned cars in the world. Nevertheless, the aftermarket side of the industry is here to remind us of that.
The latest example of that comes from the videos below, which brings us the most delicious 991-generation model to date, namely the GT3 RS. The track-savvy incarnation of the rear-engined coupe has been gifted with an Akrapovic exhaust.
About that exhaust
The Slovenian developer’s Evolution Line allows that flat-six to full share its mechanical feelings and emotions us. Given the fact that we are dealing with the superb 4-liter engine, one of the last standing natural aspirated units in the 911 line-up, we can only enjoy the soundtrack. This is a valve fitted system and we get to enjoy the engine’s voice with the valves open.
Keep in mind we are talking about a titanium exhaust here, so the aural benefits are just a part of the package. The weight reduction brought by the material are also important, especially since the this is a GT3 RS.
To talk numbers, we’ll mention a weight reduction of 31.08 lbs (14.1 kg). As for the power gains, the exhaust allows the boxer engine to deliver an extra 10 hp and 20 lb-ft (27.3 Nm).
The custom wheels fitted to this Zuffenhausen machine
The clips come HRE Wheels, with the wheel producer gifting the Porsche too. The GT3 RS now rides on HRE goodies, with the multi-spoke design of the rollers fitting the 911’s athletic design details. Then again, you may not be able to pay too much attention to the wheel design with such a machine, so we're filing this under measures taken just to be styling-safe.
