Welcome Back: 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Now that's what he called DRIVING HEAVEN

Porsche's 911 GT3 RS (997) is known to be the lightweight XXX version of the GT3. The GT3 RS offers the same aesthetics as the standard GT3 model but it lost 20 kilos or 44 lbs of weight with the use of an adjustable rear wing made of carbon, an extra-light plastic rear window, and the use of lightweight bucket seats. The car's power-to-weight ratio, as a result, is just 4.5 kg/kW.

Lightweight versions of exotics providing the "less is more" philosophy, meaning that throwing away unnecessary stuff in the car makes it sharper and quicker. However, in the GT3 RS, I'm afraid that this is the other way around. This may be 44lbs lighter than the standard GT3 but when I pushed this TRACK DAY TOY round the Top Gear Test Track, it lapped slower than the standard model!

Never mind about that but anyway, Richard Hammond drove this on Top Gear while Jeremy Clarkson's in the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and James May's in the road legal version of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24 in the search to find DRIVING HEAVEN and it ended on the way to Davos to Stelvio Pass, which is their DRIVING HEAVEN.
