Yahoo Autos 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS laps Nürburgring 10 seconds quicker than before
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS has always been a track-killing weapon, so it’s no surprise to see the latest variant achieving incredible gains over its predecessor. The not-yet-released new GT3 RS just lapped the Nürburgring more than ten seconds faster than the car currently on sale.
Brand Ambassador Jörg Bergmeister drove on the run, achieving a final time of 6:49.328, 10.6 seconds faster than the current car. Porsche’s Director of GT Cars, Andreas Preuninger, said that conditions were less than ideal during the run. Strong headwinds and cool ground temperatures may have slowed the car slightly, but Preuninger said the team is satisfied with the time they achieved. Bergmeister also noted the wind during his drive, saying, “we lost a little downforce due to the strong, sometimes gusting wind.”
