I was able to meet the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992 type), which was unveiled in Japan for the first time.

992.1 Porsche 911 GT3RS suddenly appeared in front of me

held at Makuhari Messe where I went to play the other dayAutomobile Council 2023..

I didn't know that this event was being held until I was invited. However, I was not able to confirm the details of the content.

Meanwhile,Go to the event nowThe moment I saw the Porsche booth.

that?

What?

Is this possible?

Are you the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS? ?

what are you doing here ! Makuhari, are you here?

I was really surprised because I didn't expect to meet you. It's a nice surprise ^^

It seems like a matter of course, "I'm in Makuhari, but what is it?" This Porsche 911 GT3RS (992.1 type) in front of me, this day is the first car to be unveiled in Japan. bottom.

It seems that it is a GT3 RS that actually ran in Silverstone, England.

First of all, my first impression when I saw this new GT3 RS was...to be honest..."showy" (laughs)!

Of course, if you think of it as a race car that runs on the circuit, it's not flashy, but it's just purely cool! ! That's it.

But when I think of it as a "commercial car model that runs on public roads," it's like, "Oh, it's flashy..." (laughs).

After all, when it comes to this wing!

Looking from behind like this. Burn! The presence of feathers is amazing anyway.

If you want to look up from the bottom for a moment, you've spent too much time.

Before the impression that "PORSCHE" is written under the wing, only "great" comes out.

But this force is really amazing, and it's too amazing, so I can only think, "This is already for racing."

Of course, it's not just about looks, it's about performance as well.

But with this, if you want to go shopping at the supermarket, you can go, and that's not a sin either, so it's amazing in many ways (laughs).

Well, there's almost no place to put your luggage, so it's not suitable for shopping (that's not the reason).

By the way, when I was looking under this wing.

There were places on the left and right that could be opened with a "snap".

There seems to be access to the so-called coolant and engine oil here.

I wonder if there is access from under the engine hood of a normal water-cooled Porsche 911.

When viewed from behind, the wing seems to be in a very high position, but when viewed from the front, it is surprisingly invisible.

Even if I looked at it from above, the wing did not look like anything.

I forgot to zoom in and take a picture, but the front crest looks like paint.

And here is something that is not in the home country specification, that is the rear fender molding ↓

By wearing this, you can pass the vehicle inspection without any problems, or you can't pass it...

*Additional note: After that, it was decided that the car would not pass vehicle inspection unless this was also attached to the front, so a fender molding was added to the front as well.

Hidden letters of GT3 RS that I could finally see with my own eyes

There was one more point that I wanted to confirm when I met the GT3 RS.

This is the rear part.

There should be a "hidden character" hidden by Porsche here.

There are parts that look like air vents on the top and bottom...

This ① is made so that the air can flow properly. but.

This is a view of ② with a light shining on it.

The letters that Porsche dared to write there are "no vent". A claim from Porsche that "So this is not an air vent."

There are other brands of cars that are designed like this just to make them look cool, not functionality. It's done this way for a reason, and they know that air can't pass through it.”

Really, that's where I think people who are developing Porsche are cute, and I like it.

This time, I was happy to see the real Porsche claim "no vent".

Earlier, I wrote that there was no place to put luggage, but when I actually checked the front, was it really a radiator under the hood? is visible.

I wasn't able to take a good picture, but...

For the time being, do you know that there are various things under the hood, at least it is not a trunk space? It's amazing ~.

The GT3 RS on display was a model with the Weissach package, so the wheels were magnesium wheels that would silence even crying children.

It seems that this one wheel is about 2 kg lighter than usual, so the total weight of the four wheels can be reduced by about 8 kg.

But if it gets scratched, it's going to be hard, so it's a gem that requires courage (and money) to get your hands on it.

When I put my finger in the gap between the tires...

A man's finger barely fits or does not fit.

After that, I was able to see the structure where aerodynamics was considered everywhere anyway.

I wasn't able to open the door and see the inside of the car this time, so I only saw the scenery from the window, but I just glanced at the inside of the car.

The roll cage of this exhibited car was made of carbon.

A close-up of the roll cage bar that was glimpsed from outside the window.

It was a GT3 RS that I didn't expect to meet, but it was a day that impressed me with a miraculous chance encounter ^ ^

It was a powerful car, and even though I hadn't seen it running yet, I could only think, "This must be amazing."

Finally, I would like to finish by looking at the front.

picture? A little further down?

Reason gets in the way and I can no longer crawl on the Automobile Council ^ ^

For me, Automobile Council 2023 was a happy encounter with the new GT3 RS!
