Porsche unveils wild-looking 911

New variants of Porsche’s 911 sports car are turning up as quickly as they go on the road. The racing-inspired GT3 RS has been unveiled just days after the new 911 Turbo and is being billed by Porsche as “the most sporting road-going 911 of them all”. It also looks the wildest of them all, courtesy of some outrageously bright red wheels and decals.

The new RS, which will reach Australia in April 2010 with a pricetag in excess of $300,000, matches the look with more muscle under the bonnet, employing a more powerful version of the ‘regular’ GT3’s 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat six-cylinder – rising by 11kW to 331kW. Porsche has mated the engine to a shorter-shifting, shorter-geared six-speed manual gearbox to further help the RS outperform the standard GT3. Rooowwwwrrrrrrrrrr! "Wild thing, you make my heat sing".
