Limited-Edition Porsche 911 GT3 RS Celebrates 50 Years Of Carrera RS 2.7

We've just been blown away by the reveal of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This car has aerodynamic enhancements, suspension innovations, and clever cooling solutions that have genuinely pushed the goalposts further once again than any other automaker. And that's before you even consider how it looks and performs with the hardcore Weissach package. In fact, it took us hours to decide on just five of the car's coolest features. And like any high-end product, the sky is the limit when it comes to customization options.

But we may have already found our favorite spec, and it's thanks to a unique Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur creation littered with brilliant details. This, says Porsche, "will serve as inspiration for a limited-availability [...] offering exclusive to US customers: a Tribute to Carrera RS Package."

This is how you celebrate a 50th anniversary.

Porsche Cars North America CEO Kjell Gruner says, "America is the second home of the 911 and a special tribute exclusive to the US is the perfect way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7" from 1973, the car that started it all. The car you see here - complete with illegal-in-the-US-roll-cage - is a way of showcasing "exclusive options on the new GT3 RS with a one-of-a-kind list of accompanying items."

Full details will be revealed soon, but the important thing to remember is that Porschephiles are at work here, as Gruner makes clear: "This is a live project in its early stages, and is being created by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts as a joint effort between our colleagues in Zuffenhasuen, Flacht [the home of Porsche's Motorsport Centre] and our team in America."

Until more info becomes available, let's get a taste of what to look forward to.
