At MotorTrend’s 2024 Performance Vehicle of the Year, we had a car that needs no introduction. The GT3 RS. The hardest, most focused version of the hardest, most focused version of the 911. Aero everywhere, carbon fiber everything, a wing so large Boeing would be proud, and a 9,000 redline… It’s got a DRS system, for god sake. Surely the best performing Porsche road car ever made, but how does it go on the track?
