The new 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS has more speed, and with this model that means greater downforce. In this year’s model, a modified lip spoiler at the front of the car creates a higher level of downforce compared with the 911 GT3. Also, there’s improved airflow to the central radiator unit. The ultimate result: better road holding, safety and stability as well as excellent handling at high speed.

This year’s 911 GT3 RS boasts a 3.6-liter, 6-cylinder engine that produces 415-horse power, and also uses a sporty 6-speed manual transmission with single-mass flywheel and hydraulic clutch. The engine also uses VarioCam, which offers a range of benefits, including lower emissions and higher performance, based on current driving conditions. The system is active over the entire engine speed range.

In addition to the impressive engine performance, the ‘08 Porsche 911 GT3 RS offers a sleek appearance as well. Contributing to that are exterior features like an adjustable rear wing made from genuine carbon fiber, and a sports exhaust system with central dual tailpipes.

Interior comfort is provided with this ride’s sports seats with Alcantera inserts and automatic climate control with filtration. There’s also an onboard instrumentation computer showing the driver indicators such as mileage, time and speed. Cruise control also comes standard in this model.

Passengers are kept safe with the 911 GT3 RS’s dual front airbags, and there’s also side-impact protection. Adding to security are features like side-guard door beams and seat belt pretensioners and load limiters.

Those looking for a sporty, luxury car that has features offering safety, convenience and power should stop at the 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It seems to have all of those qualities.
