This article is about the 991.2 model used in Asphalt 9: Legends. For the preceding 991.1 model, see Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.1).
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.2) is the facelift of the 991.1 GT3 RS model.
Overview[]
In February 2018, Porsche revealed a facelifted GT3 RS model to continue their updates for the 991 generation of the 911. Changes include a new engine similar to the GT3 and RSR models with a 9,000 rpm redline and 20 PS (15 kW; 20 bhp) and 10 N⋅m (7.4 lb⋅ft) increase over the previous GT3 RS, NACA ducts for brake cooling, modified front fascia (similar to the 991.2 GT3), side skits and rear wing (similar to the GT2 RS) for increased downforce, ball joints on all suspension links, front helper springs, lightweight glass for the rear and rear-side windows and a newly developed tyre compound. A Weissach package including additional carbon fibre body and interior parts as well as magnesium wheels and stiffer suspension settings is available as an option.
On 18 April 2018 the 991.2 GT3 RS set a lap time of 6:56.4 around the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track. It is the third Porsche production car to break the 7 minute barrier around the track, the first being the 918 Spyder.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS was added in the Tune It Up Update as a high Class B car with the following statistics:
- Stock rank: 1,809 ( 55)
- rank: 2,109
- rank: 2,458 ( 18)
- rank: 2,806 ( 24)
- rank: 3,285 ( 32)
- rank: 3,824 ( 47)
- rank: 4,211 ( 50)
Performance[]
The 911 GT3 RS has all-round mediocre stats at stock, and considering its class placement, it has an extremely low top speed, lower than that of the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. It also has worse stats when compared to, and its moderate drifting is its only advantage.
Upgrades gives greatest improvements to handling, followed very closely by nitro, then top speed, and its acceleration seeing least increases. Even without applying specific parts, the GT3's handling and drifting are really good, and its high acceleration gives it strong starts during races, which when coped with its stellar nitro efficiency, allows it to reach and maintain its top speed for most of the time. This all comes at the cost of its very low top speed, which even when fully upgraded, is worse than cars like the Porsche Carrera GT or Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder. As such, it performs better on technical tracks, which focuses most on the GT3's strengths.
Availability[]
The 911 GT3 RS blueprints were only obtainable from time-limited card packs. It is also available during Bugatti La Voiture Noire's Drive Syndicate.
