The front spoiler and the huge rear wing reinforce the radical look of the GT3 RS. A 30 centimetre wide recess extends centrally over the CRFP bonnet and the magnesium roof.

Another unique feature are the air outlets of the front wheel arches which extend to the top.

The interior design of the 911 GT3 RS, with elements in Alcantara, is based on the current 911 GT3 and receives bucket seats inspired on the 918 Spyder. The Club Sport Package is included as standard and includes a roll bar bolted behind the front seats, preparation for a battery master switch, separately provided six-point safety harness for the driver and fire extinguisher with mounting bracket.
