The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Rennsport) (991.2) is a track-orientated, high-performance option for the facelifted 991.2 generation 911 - facelift of the 991 GT3 RS and successor to the 997.2 GT3 RS - developed and manufactured by Porsche.
First revealed with the 991 model on March 5, 2015 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the facelifted 991.2 GT3 RS was first shown on February 21, 2018, nearly 3 years after the 991 model and just over 28 months after the reveal of the 991.2 refresh.
Over the initial 991 GT3 RS, it produces 20 bhp (15 kW) more power from a 200 cc increase in displacement, alongside the use of a new air intake system, a revised engine management system, and a titanium exhaust system. It achieves a higher peak rev range from 8,700 rpm to 9,000 rpm, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph 0.2 seconds faster through the optional PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe) transmission.
Other changes include the bonnet being made of CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers) and a carbon-fibre roof with a magnesium finish, as well as tweaked aerodynamic for the front bumper and spoiler.
Production ran from March 2018 to late 2018 and, although the 991 GT3 RS met homologation rules for multiple racing seasons, improvements made to the 991.2 were applied to the 991 GT3 Cup and the 991 GT3 R.
