Those ingenious engineering elves in the GT department at Weissach have managed to squeeze an extra 20bhp from our 4.0-litre flat-six, making the new GT3 RS the most powerful normally aspirated Porsche to date.
Combined fuel consumption 12.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 291 g/km

No response from Porsche... I've asked this question previously, Porsche promised to provide the downforce info. but failed to.
Reality check is that I doubt if the best driver in the world can tell the difference between a standard GT3 with 500BHP and an RS with 520BHP - it's such a small difference, only 4%.
But even an average driver can tell the difference between a GT3 Touring say and an RS as it is rumored that the RS has 7X the down force (50kg v 350kg) of the Touring at max speed.
What we drivers and owners are interested in Porsche is hard facts! Please provide the downforce comparisons of the GT3 Clubsport v Touring v Renn Sport at say 70 MPH, 90 MPH, 120 MPH, 155MPH and max speed and stop patronizing us with repetitive photos and bland "information"...
Mark, I think you are the only person in the world who really cares about detailed downforce comparisons and I suggest Porsche have more important things to be doing than go fact finding for you. Just chill out and enjoy the tribe like the rest...
Read moreHallo Christina! The whole point of an RS over a GT3 is of course downforce... the raison d être of Porsche GT's is performance and in the case of the RS it is the aero package which makes it so much quicker than a car with less aero. I'm sorry that...
Read moreThe extra 20 BHP misses the point completely! Surely it's the extra downforce which is the headline? Some facts and figures please. Comparison kg downforce at differing speeds GT3 Comfort/Clubsport v Touring v Renn Sport.
Shhh........
Hallo Christina... do you have an agenda?
