Porsche Turbo VS GT3 RS - Sports car
La Porsche Carrera 911 This is an incredible car, not only the result of improvements over fifty years, but thanks to the perfection of its chassis, the expansion of the range has made it possible to confuse any wealthy buyer who walks into the car dealership.
The choice can start with the classics Career e Career, to the most exploited Carrera 4 e 4 Sgoing through special versions GTS e Plate, all are also available in a convertible version.
While you can't go wrong with either of these models, there are two 911 variants that are simply perfect, albeit with diametrically opposed specs. WITH price 180.394 911 euros for 187.287 Turbo and XNUMX XNUMX euros for 911 GT3 RS, the economic difference between them is really insignificant, but there is an abyss under the skin.
Watching them side by side, they look like twins separated at birth. Turbo grew up in the ghetto and was boxing, the other looks like she started a sprinting career.
Last GT3 RS This is a car that has garnered a lot of criticism from driving purists, being only available with a dual-clutch gearbox and paddle shifters on the steering wheel, it has really lost something; but no one doubts his ability to destroy supercars that are more powerful and "bigger" than her. Its 4.0-liter flat-six is naturally aspirated and has hit 500 hp in this generation. at 8.250 rpm, which is several hundred rpm less than its sister. GT3 3.8, but at medium range gets an even stronger push. The new Turbo, on the other hand, develops 540 hp, but with a 3.8-liter variable-geometry biturbo engine that delivers an excellent 710 Nm of torque (compared to 410 Nm for the GT3 RS), which is enough to tow the ship.
While the former has a light body, a long range and the only rear drive, the latter boasting all-wheel drive and huge torque in any gear. These differences greatly affect the final weight. GT3 is the result of painstaking commitment diet and on the elimination of excess, and the scales noted a dry weight of 1420 kg.
Most "placed" Turboon the other hand, due to all-wheel drive and comfort, which the GT3 cannot afford for obvious reasons, it stops the scale at 1595 kg. This does not prevent the new Turbo from being a surface-to-air missile: data states that speeds from 0 to 100 km / h are 3,3 for the RS and 3,0 seconds for the Turbo, while 0-200 km / h is the case. ... respectively in 10,9 and 10,4 seconds, and their maximum speed is 310 and 320 km / h.
The two sisters are so different that a direct comparison would be unfair. At this stage, the choice becomes a matter of taste.
