The Porsche 996 GT3 was the start of a very successful line-up of RS (Rennsport) sportscars offered by Porsche throughout the 2000s. Since its launch, several newer versions have been launched, the latest being the limited-edition GT3 RS 4.0.
The 996 GT3 RS offered a lighter and more driver-focused proposition compared with the standard 996 GT3. Changes included a fixed carbon rear wing, GT3 RS decals while the interior seemed closer to a GT3 race car than a 911 road car.
