The GT3 is the most focused, track-oriented version of the 911 available. It uses a 435-hp 3.8-litre flat six-cylinder engine, a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive to dominate every curve it encounters. The hardcore RS ekes 450-hp out of the same engine, and follows a massive weight loss plan. Even the door pulls were replaced with colour-coded straps to save a few grams. The RS is also based on the wider GT2 body, and uses a racing-style fixed rear wing. Optional race-style bucket seats complete the package.

 

Pros

No more focused Porsche outside of a racetrack

Cons

Not subtle
