This model is all about power. This is the maddest 911 model currently available! So if you want to be the fastest off the line &#8211; this is your car. The Turbo and the even faster Turbo S beats any Ferrari and Lamborghini you will meet. Turbos are\u00a0recognised by the big air intake on the hib and the big wing on the back. All turbos are all-wheel drive too. The Turbo also comes in these versions: Turbo S \/ Turbo Cabriolet \/ Turbo S Cabriolet.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-304\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/74\/2019\/03\/26220629\/porsche-thumbwhite-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"126\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><b>911 Carrera GT3 \/ GT3 RS<\/b><\/span>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0The GT3&#8217;s are a\u00a0\u00a0track-focused 911 for whom that like to race on the weekends. If you want a car to drive to the trackday and home again &#8211; this is the model you want. The GT3 RS is an even more track orientated 911. RS is &#8216;RennSport&#8217; which means Racing in german.\n<p>GT3:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-303\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/74\/2019\/03\/26220629\/porsche-thumbwhite-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"126\" \/><br \/>\nGT3 RS:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-312\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/74\/2019\/03\/26221035\/porsche-thumbwhite-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"126\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><b>911 Carrera GT2 RS<\/b><\/span>\u00a0&#8211; this is by far the most raw of all &#8211; not only in the 911 range but of all cars. This car is only for the most advanced drivers. This will beat any other car at the track &#8211; and you can even drive it home after a day at the track. You can take this car to go grocery shopping, but it won&#8217;t be a pleasant experience. What makes the GT2 RS different is its based on the Turbo, and convert to rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive as the turbos normal is. This give the most ultimate driving experience know to man. This is a race-car that is allowed to drive on the road.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-302\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/74\/2019\/03\/26220628\/porsche-thumbwhite-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"126\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore Porsche have made several special version like the Speedster, 911 R and GT1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b>[You May Also Like:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phillipsauto.com\/blog\/why-sell-your-porsche-on-consignment-at-phillips-auto\/\"><b>Why Sell Your Porsche on Consignment at Phillips Auto<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GTS, GT3, GT-what?
