2019 Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 RS

Introduced in 2018, the Porsche 991. 2 GT3 RS represents one of the most desirable chapters in the modern GT3 RS lineage. Power comes from Porsche’s 4. 0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, producing 513 bhp and revving to 9, 000 rpm.

The 991. 2 marked a significant technical evolution over the earlier 991. 1 GT3 RS, featuring revised cylinder heads, solid tappets, individual throttle bodies, and reworked engine management, resulting in sharper throttle response and a more urgent top-end character. Further aerodynamic refinement and increased cooling capacity accompanied these mechanical updates.

Visually, the 991. 2 GT3 RS is most easily distinguished from the earlier 991. 1 by the introduction of NACA ducts in the front bonnet, alongside revised front bumper intake detailing to support the updated cooling layout. The wider 991. 2 facelift also brought updated rear lights, giving the later cars a subtly more modern appearance.

Positioned between the earlier 991. 1 and the later 992. 1 generation, the 991. 2 occupies a particularly appealing middle ground. Notably, it is powered by Porsche’s final evolution of the 9R1 engine, whereas the 992 GT3 RS adopted the newer 9A2 Evo unit, developed to comply with increasingly stringent emissions standards and integrated into a larger, more complex platform. As a result, the 991. 2 retains a smaller footprint and a more immediate, mechanical feel, while benefiting from the most developed version of Porsche’s high-revving naturally aspirated engine in the 991 platform.
