This Supercar Driver review focuses on the 997.1 GT3 RS powered by the 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six, celebrating its raw, motorsport-derived character. Producing about 409 hp and revving to 8,400 rpm, the engine is the centerpiece, delivering linear power and an intense sound that defines the driving experience.
Beyond the engine, the GT3 RS impresses with precise steering, lightweight handling, and powerful ceramic brakes. The manual gearbox requires deliberate inputs, with a heavy clutch and mechanical feel that emphasize driver involvement. Unlike modern performance cars, the GT3 RS keeps things simple with minimal electronic aids, putting the driver fully in control.
The Mezger engine’s raw power delivery and motorsport-inspired soundtrack elevate the car from an excellent driver’s machine to a standout performance icon. Combined with its analog feel and balanced chassis, the 997.1 GT3 RS delivers an engaging and highly immersive driving experience.
