Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 8th of 29 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 8th of 29 in Top speed (311 km/h), 2nd of 29 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t). 8th of 29 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s), 8th of 29 in Top speed (311 km/h), 2nd of 29 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 14,0 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 (1st with 2.9 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 (1st with 350 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.9 s 0-100 (8th of 29 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the 911 GT3 RS ranks 8th of 29 in 0–100 km/h, 1.0 s off the reference Lamborghini Aventador LP700 (2.9 s).

Top speed: 311 km/h (8th of 29 in Top speed)

Top speed of 311 km/h. The segment reference reaches 350 km/h.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 911 GT3 RS rank in its segment?

Among the 29 S 2008–2012, the 911 GT3 RS ranks 8th of 29 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 8th of 29 in Top speed (311 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 2nd of 29 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700).

How much does the 911 GT3 RS cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Lamborghini Aventador LP700 instead?

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700 leads in 0–100 km/h (2.9 s vs 3.9 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 911 GT3 RS vs Lamborghini Aventador LP700 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
