We've got our hands on the almighty, brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it's going up against one of the most hardcore BMWs money can purchase – the brand new BMW M3 CS! The concern is, does this track-focused Porsche have what it takes to reduce the BMW?
Well, let's take a more detailed take a look at the statistics. Beginning with the Porsche, it's powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six that can produce 525hp and 465Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed automated gearbox, and being a track-focused automobile, it's incredibly light, weighing in at simply 1,450 kg!
However all this power & performance does not come cheap, with the GT3 RS beginning with ₤ 190,000! What's more, the one we have here has the Weissach Load fitted, so it costs around ₤ 235,000!
Then we have the BMW M3 CS. It has the exact same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as in the routine M3, but power has actually been increased to 550hp and 650Nm. This power is sent out to all 4 wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the vehicle is a reasonable bit heavier than the GT3, at 1,765 kg. It's a reasonable bit less expensive, though, costing around ₤ 116,000.
So the BMW has more power, but will the weight show decisive? There's only one way to find out … LET'S RACE!
